Phase transitions are one of the most common phenomena, e.g., water and vapor in our daily life, or liquid crystal for a laptop. In the last few decades, extensive explorations have been made on stationary phase transitions, e.g. theory of renormalization group. In contrast, much less understanding is yet available for the dynamics, namely, the evolution of a system undergoing phase transitions...

this paper presents the results of a bibliometric analysis of the medical sciences (ms) domains in iran. totally 9047 articles indexed in isi (thomson reuters database) from 1989 to 2008 in december 2008 have been extracted. histcite tm applications are used to discover the iranian publication status during this period. the publication count has grown at an approximate rate of 40.5% per year. w...

This paper extends the previous work of authors and presents a non-layered Finite Volume formulation for the elasto-plastic analysis of Mindlin-Reissner plates. The incremental algorithm of the elasto-plastic solution procedure is shown in detail. The performance of the formulation is examined by analyzing of plates with different boundary conditions and loading types. The results are illustrat...
