the permian deposits in the stratigraphic section of sangsar (located in the eastern alborz), are the best expose in the semnan area. this sequence consists of the doroud (asselian-sakmarian), ruteh (artinskian-murgabian) and nessen (early djulfian) formations. the dorud formation in the studied section with 56 m thickness consists of conglomerate, sandstone and quartzite, which is disconformit...

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the laser-TIG hybrid welding (HLAW) of stainless steel 1.4418 with thickness of 4 mm. Transient temperature profile and dimensions of the fusion zone and heat affected zone (HAZ) during welding process are calculatedusing finite element method (FEM) and were solved in the ABAQUS/Standard software.The heat sou...

Abstract Butterfly wings are closely related to the premature failure of rolling element bearings. In this study, butterfly formation is investigated using developed semi-analytical three-dimensional (3D) contact model incorporating inclusion and material property degradation. The 3D elastic field introduced by inhomogeneous solved numerical approaches, which include equivalent method (EIM) con...

A software tool for automated crack onset and growth simulations based on the eXtended Finite Element Method (X-FEM) has been developed. For the first time, this tool is able to simulate arbitrary crack growth and composite delamination without remeshing. The automated tool is integrated with Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/CAE via the customization interfaces. It seamlessly works with the Commercia...

Knee contact pressure is a crucial factor in the knee rehabilitation programs. Although contact pressure can be estimated using finite element analysis, this approach is generally time-consuming and does not satisfy the real-time requirements of a clinical set-up. Therefore, a real-time surrogate method to estimate the contact pressure would be advantageous. This study implemented a novel compu...

the gold mineralization in kurdistan province of iran was classified as shear zone gold type by some of the researchers. in the current study, the geochemical samples collected from the secondary environment, stream sediments, at the sw of saqquez area were used to investigate the geochemical characteristics of the gold mineralized zones in this environment. the multi-variant statistical analys...
