In this paper, the effects of carbon nanotube (CNT) orientation and aggregation on the static behavior of functionally graded nanocomposite cylinders reinforced by CNTs are investigated based on a mesh-free method. The used nanocomposites are made of the straight CNTs that are embedded in an isotropic polymer as matrix. The straight CNTs are oriented, randomly or aligned or local aggregated int...

increasing demand for food production in the recent years has raised the usage of granular fertilizers. consequently, the growing use of fertilizers has reduced the quality and quantity of crop production. in addition pollution problems such as soil and water (surface and subterranean water) contaminations has increased. consistent spreading of fertilizers in the farmlands is of fundamental rul...

Assuming arbitrary boundary and initial conditions, a transient thermo-elastic analysis of a rotating thick cylindrical pressure vessel made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to axisymmetric mechanical and transient thermal loads is presented. Time-dependent thermal and mechanical boundary conditions are assumed to act on the boundaries of the vessel. Material properties of the ve...

Many display layout techniques were developed for the visualization of hierarchical data set like Cone tree, Treemap, Hyperbolic tree etc. Here, we present a new focus + context (fisheye) technique for visualizing and manipulating large hierarchies. We use the well knows radial tree layout method, in which focused node is placed in center of display, and all other nodes are rendered on appropri...

complicated potential structure formed at a constriction of positive column of a dc discharge with heated cathode in he at low discharge currents is investigated. according to the potential structure, electrons and ions are accelerated by the electric field and their energy distribution functions acquire multi humped shapes. additional maximums on distribution functions quickly disappear due to...

Due to the importance effect of magnetic field on the history of long-term radial and circumfer-ential creep strain and radial displacement for a three-phase nano-composite exposed to an internal pressure and placed uniform temperature, the present article subject has been pro-posed. Three-phase nano-composite made of single-walled carbon nano tubes (SWCNTs)/ glass fiber (GF)/vinylester used to...
