in this article, we tried to emphasis in how the range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings works. the designed base was according to provisions of the canadian standard, 2005 nbcc. the behavior of nonlinear dynamic time history of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional ground motions compatible with design spectra are investigated. these models c...

progressive collapse is a chain reaction of failures propagating throughout a portion of the structure disproportionate to the original local failure occurring when a sudden loss of a critical load‐bearing element initiates a structural element failure, eventually resulting in partial or full collapse of the structure. both general services administration (gsa) and united states department of d...

In this study we investigate a stabilized space-time formulation for linear and non-linear elastodynamics. We use Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) in order to benefit from its numerical qualities. focus on two points: the of weak-forms context interest using continuous Galerkin schemes space time with higher continuity basis functions. illustrate performance these methods through typical impact or v...

a total number of 116,984 weight records belonging to 12,397 baluchi lambs reared in abbas abad breeding station during years 1978-2008 were used for phenotypic evaluation of maximum daily growth (mdg) and analysis of environmental factors affecting this trait. the initial data were performed by foxpro program and then gompertz non-linear model was fitted on the weight records of individual lam...

In this paper, the non-Fourier heat conduction in a semi-infinite body was examined. The heat wave non-Fourier heat conduction model was used for thermal analysis. Thermal conductivity was assumed temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-linear equation. The heat source was also considered temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-homogeneous equation. The Mac-Cormack predictor-correct...
