Large-scale 3D martensitic microstructure evolution problems are studied using a finite-element discretization of finite-strain phase-field model. The model admits an arbitrary crystallography transformation and elastic anisotropy the phases, incorporates Hencky-type elasticity, penalty-regularized double-obstacle potential, viscous dissipation. is performed in Firedrake relies on PETSc solver ...

nowadays deep excavations are needed for construction of foundation of high rise buildings, providing space for parking and etc. in some cases deep excavations may be constructed in the vicinity of the subway tunnels and causes unpredicted extra displacements and internal forces in tunnel lining of tunnels which were not designed for them and consequently affect serviceability of tunnel. theref...

The importance of energy crisis and global warming necessitates presenting strategies in order to decrease the amount of emissions as well as fuel consumption in large and complex industries such as refineries and petrochemical industries. Generally, refinery steam networks are regarded as units which consume fuel enormously. In this paper, the steam network of Tehran Oil Refinery is considered...

Experiments and simulations on single α-actin filaments in the Poiseuille flow through a microchannel show that the center-of-mass probability density across the channel assumes a bimodal shape as a result of pronounced cross-streamline migration. We reexamine the problem and perform Brownian dynamics simulations for a bead-spring chain with bending elasticity. Hydrodynamic interactions between...

It is well known that a strong metabolic interrelationship exists between ureagenesis and gluconeogenesis. In this paper, we present a detailed, overall equation, describing a possible metabolic link between ureagenesis and gluconeogenesis. We adopted a guided approach in which we strongly suggest that students, when faced with the problem of obtaining the overall equation of a metabolic pathwa...
