seedling characteristics of different sunflower (helianthus annus l.) cultivars under drought stress and inoculation with the azospirillum lipoferum in a spilt-factorial layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications were evaluated. treatments included dehydration stress (seed produced on maternal plants which irrigated after 60 (desirable irrigation), 120 (medium stre...

suspension system as one of the most important key elements of vehicle has always been considered by research centres and auto makers over the world and this issue is more important on sport cars which have special sensitive working conditions and even the smallest defect can strongly affect their performances. in this study, optimization of effective handling parameters of a sport car with thr...

in order to decrease water consumption in agricultural sector, deficit irrigation has been suggested. for preventing a heavy loss in crop yield, management of water stress is essential. common methods for measuring plant water stress such as stomatal conductance are time-consuming and require specialized labor and a large number of measurement. temperature of leaf or canopy surface can be an in...

A two dimensional finite model with inclined crack at different crack angles are being analyzed in mixed mode condition using photo elasticity method for the determination of Stress Intensity Factors. The well-known Sih’s equation and three points deterministic approach is used for the determination of stress intensity factors. The effects of biaxial load factor, crack angle, size factors were ...

Abstract To study the effect of water stress in rapeseed cultivars at the seedling stage, 10 rapeseed cultivars were evaluated at three irrigation levels [normal irrigation (control) and irrigation after depletion of 60 and 85% of available soil water]. Analysis of variance showed considerable variation among cultivars. Water stress reduced all of the studied morphological characteristics, espe...

Shoulder geometry of tool plays an important role in friction-stir welding because it controls thermal interactions and heat generation. This work is proposed and developed a coupled rigid-viscoplastic numerical modeling based on computational fluid dynamics and finite element calculations aiming to understand these interactions. Model solves mass conservation, momentum, and energy equations in...

to evaluate moisture-stress tolerance in reproductive growth stages in five triticale (alamos83, lasko, moreno, prego, and zorro), one bread wheat (roshan) and one durum wheat (osta-gata) cultivars, two field experiments were conducted in 2005-06 cropping season at research farm, isfahan university of technology, lavarak, njafabad, iran. the genotypes were sown in two normal and moisture stress...

Based on the actual parameters of capacitor energy storage cabinet top monorail train, built cabinet’s finite element model. Then, according to EN 12663-1, set calibration conditions and fatigue working conditions. Carried out simulation calculation under different conditions, respectively. The results static show that maximum equivalent stress each node model is smaller than allowable all Ther...
