determination of allowable free span length plays a crucial role in design of offshore pipelines. the seabed intervention cost and safety of an offshore pipelines project are largely influenced by pipelines free spanning during the project life time. different criteria are proposed by both the current designing guidelines and researchers there is however lack of comprehensive assessment of inde...

in the present paper, the modal analysis on a full finite element model of an off-road vehicle. this vehicle was modeled in the catia software and then meshed in the hypermesh software. the free vibration analysis was conducted by the abaqus software. by applying an external displacement, the forced vibration analysis was also performed. as a result, natural frequencies and shape modes were ext...

wide range of planar structures in new technologies has attracted special consideration. in this research vibration behavior of plates with non-linear edges is investigated by means of finite difference (fd) method. for this issue, classical and analytical solutions for plates with linear edges were analyzed and mutual equations, needed for numerical calculation were extracted. by expanding the...

Dual systems of steel moment frame and reinforced concrete shear wall have combined the advantages of steel frames and reinforced concrete shear wall. These walls have increased the lateral stiffness of steel frames and have reduced seismic demands on steel frames thus providing opportunities to use such system. In this research intermediate dual system of steel moment frame was chosen with int...

in the present paper, we are to put forth a paradigm for the systematic study of modality in persian.with this end in view, we consider modality as a linguistic phenomenon that can be expressed at the level of sentence, at the level of constituents smaller than sentence and/or at the level of discourse. in such a system where sentential modality, sub-sentential modality and discourse modality a...
