This artcile is concerned with thermal buckling and thermal induced free vibration analyses of PCPs (perforated composite plates) with simply supported edges applying a mathematical model. The stiffness and density of PCP are defined locally using Heaviside distribution functions. The governing equations are derived based on CLPT. The present solution gives reasonable results in comparison with...

productivity of an oil well is an important parameter in any oil field development. low production rate of the wells, impose more production wells drilling which directly jeopardizes the economical feasibility of the project. oil production rate in some of the wells is very low due to low permeability of the reservoir rock. several practice like hydraulic fracturing and acid fracturing is very ...

background and objectives: red beet extract concentrate can be used as a natural colorant in food products; however, destructive effects of thermal methods to produce juice concentrate decrease nutritional value in the final product. materials and methods: in this study, red beet extract was concentrated using osmotic distillation method, and the best pretreatment was evaluated to increase the ...

As s‌tudents spend one-third of their time at school, their health, comfort, and productivity are mos‌tly influenced by thermal condition and indoor air quality of classrooms. Regarding that manual window-opening is a common way for providing fresh air in classes and s‌tudents aren't allowed to change their uniform, position or control the windows during the lesson hours, providing thermal comf...

The increasing interest in the extraordinary thermal properties of nanostructures has led to the development of various measurement techniques. Transient thermoreflectance method has emerged as a reliable measurement technique for thermal conductivity of thin films. In this method, the determination of thermal conductivity usually relies much on the accuracy of heat capacity input. For new nano...

mirage effect is contactless and non destructive method which has been used a lot to determine thermal properties of different  kind of samples , transverse photothermal deflection ptd in  skimming configuration with ccd camera  and special programs is used to determine thermal conductivity of porous silicon ps  film. ps samples were prepared by electrochemical etching. thermal conductivity wit...

Dense Silicon nitride was investigated to determine the effect of its microstructural parameters and densification on thermo-mechanical properties and thermal stress resistance to fracture initiation during a hot or cold mechanical and thermal shock testing. The different materials and microstructures were obtained by changing the parameters such as the type of the powder, additive, forming p...

In this work, the strontium-doped lanthanum manganite- a ceramic material- used as cathode in solid oxide fuel cells. An impression of grinding time on the structural and thermal properties of Sr-doped LaMnO3 system with La1-xSrxMnO3 (x=0.2) stoichiometric ratio was investigated. The nano crystallite LSM powder with cubic structure was prepared by varying the milling time of planetary monomill ...
