in this research, nano materials with tubular structures are added to sae 20w50 engine oil to study the rate of their effects on the properties of engine oil. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) and vanadium oxide nanotubes (vonts) has been used as two different additive materials, one of them is carbonic and the other is metallic oxides and their effect on  different parameters containing v...

in this paper, natural frequencies of the sandwich plates with soft flexible core and composite face sheets are obtained. three-dimensional (3d) finite element method (fem) is used for constructing and analyzing of the sandwich plates to obtain their natural frequencies. continuity conditions for transverse shear stresses at the interfaces as well as transverse flexibility and transverse normal...

the isogeometric analysis is increasingly used in various engineering problems. it is based on non-uniform rational b-splines (nurbs) basis function applied for the solution field approximation and the geometry description. one of the major concerns with this method is finding an efficient approach to impose essential boundary conditions, especially for inhomogeneous boundaries. the main contri...

natural vibration analysis of plates represents an important issue in engineering applications. in this paper, a new and simplify method for vibration analysis of circular and rectangular plates is presented. the design of an effective robust controller, which consistently attenuates transverse vibration of the plate caused by an external disturbance force, is given. the dynamics of the plate i...

License plate localization is considered as the most important part of license plate recognition system. The high accuracy rate of license plate recognition is depended on the ability of license plate detection. This paper presents a novel method for license plate localization bases on license plate features. This proposed method consists of two main processes. First, candidate regions extracti...

While studyihg the localization of Streptococcus viridans at sites of local antigen-antibody reactions in rabbits sensitized to horse serum, Weisberger (Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol. & Med., 1932, 29, 445) observed that there was a difference in the rate of disappearance of these organisms from the blood stream of normal and of sensitive animals. In the case of the sensitive animals, the bacteremia w...
