This paper investigates axial compression process of multi-layered tubes with circular cross-section under the axial loading in the quasi-static condition using experimental method. Some specimens are prepared in seven different groups, namely; empty carbon/epoxy composite tubes, solid carbon/epoxy composite rods, empty copper tubes, composite tubes with silicon sealant filler, concentrically s...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of planting date, foliar application of benomyl fungicide and potassium silicate in improving the quality of soybean (cv. williams) seed in gorgan during 2011 and 2012. in the first year (2011), the experimental treatments were including planting dates (april 20, may 13, june 3, june 29 and july 22) and foliar application of benomyl fungicide ...

Metal oxides such as ZnO, SnO2 and W2O3 with super properties are widely used in the different fields of science and proper synthesis of these materials is of the great importance. In this work, some metal oxides with nano structures including SnO2 nanopyramids, V2O5 nanowires and hierarchical structure of SnO2 nan...

considering the positive effects of silicon on salinity resistance by some agricultural plants, an investigation was conducted with a completely randomized design of three replications. the main objective was to determine the effect of silicon on nutrient content and nitrate accumulation in lettuce. electrical conductivity was adjusted at 3 mmhos/cm through addition of nacl. silicon was added t...

Semiconductor nanostructures are used in many applications, from electronics to nanophotonics cite just a few, and most of these applications based on silicon or silicon-related technologies. With the miniaturization nanoscale devices, heat dissipation becomes limitation their efficiency, robustness, reliability. Hence, managing thermal effects at is attracting growing interest promising approa...

silicon has useful effects on growth and yield of many plants. the aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of nano silicon oxide on proliferation and improvement of some growth traits of apple, cultivar gala. thus, an experiment was designed based on completely randomized design (crd) with five levels of nano silicon oxide concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 & 200 ppm) in five replicat...

An accurate prediction of reaction kinetics of silicon nitridation is of great importance in designing procedure of material production and controlling of reaction. The main purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of temperature on the kinetics of reaction bonded silicon nitride (RBSN) formation. To achieve this, nitrogen diffusion in the silicon nitride layer is considered as...

Abstract: In the current work, the strain hardening behavior of dual-phase steels with different silicon content (0.34- 2.26 Wt. %) was examined using the modified Crussard-Jaoul analysis. It was shown that these dual-phase steels deform in two stages over a uniform strain range. Each stage exhibited a different strain hardening exponent varying with silicon content. At the first stage, work...
