response surface methodology (rsm) is a statistical method useful in the modeling and analysis of problems in which the response variable receives the influence of several independent variables, in order to determine which are the conditions under which should operate these variables to optimize a corrugated box production process. the purpose of this research is to create response surface mode...

In this paper, semi-analytical method for asymmetrical eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical shells under external pressure and surrounded by a linear and non-linear elastic foundation is presented. The proposed linear model is based on two parameter elastic foundation Winkler and Pasternak. According to the von Karman nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells, strain-displ...

past earthquakes have demonstrated that old rc bridges may be seismically vulnerable. bridge responses during the last decades illustrated the necessity of the seismic assessment of bridges especially those which were designed with old codes. in this research an existing concrete bridge representative of the most common bridges in the highway system in iran are studied. push over and nonlinear ...

This paper investigates the integrated riser/vessel system which is subjected to random waves. Riser pipelines are the main components of the oil and gas offshore platforms. Whereas Iran country has been located on the fringes of Caspian Sea deep water, therefore study and research in this area is increasingly essential. The fluctuation of floating production causes the severe response and grea...

sloshing is a well-known phenomenon in liquid storage tanks subjected to base or body motions. in recent years the use of multiple vertical baffles for reducing the sloshing effects in tanks subjected to earthquake has not been taken into consideration so much. on the other hand, although some of the existing computer programs are capable to model sloshing phenomenon with acceptable accuracy, t...

Linear dynamic response of simply supported nanobeams subjected to a variable axial force is assessed by Galerkin numerical approach. Constitutive behavior is described by three functional forms of elastic energy densities enclosing nonlocal and strain gradient effects and their combination. Linear stationary dynamics of nanobeams is modulated by an axial force which controls the global stiffne...
