A two dimensional deformation due to internal heat source in a thermoelastic solid with microtemperatures under the dependence of modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity on reference temperature has been studied. A mechanical force of constant magnitude is applied at the free surface of thermoelastic half space. The normal modes technique has been applied to obtain the exact expressions ...

all the producing and assembling processes exert residual stress on the pieces that may lead to structural failure. therefore, calculating the residual stress in such structures has been common in recent years. in this article, distribution of temperature and residual stress resulting from arc welding in three-pass butt joint in p91 austenitic stainless steel pipes is calculated and estimated u...

there are about two of millions rainfed fig trees in estahban. this main location of iran rainfed production is faced with death and destruction as a result of recent droughts and since rain is the only source of water supplied to the trees in rain-fed conditions. the effects of different levels of water stress on the plants stomata and guard cell response were investigated throughout this work...

Historically, the design of the in-stope pillar in underground excavations has been based on empirical formulae and numerical modelling. Although these design methods have been extensively applied in several gold mines in South Africa, rockburst, in-stope pillar burst/failure are continuously reported as the major problem faced by mines. Therefore, this study attempts to compare the performance...

results higher levels of stress were due to the fear of being infected by hiv and hepatitis patients with mean of 3.2 and 58%; and lack of weekends with mean of 3 and 44%. the lowest levels of stress were related to inadequate skills with mean of 2.18 and 32%, and environment light with mean of 2.14 and 34.7%. stress was significantly related to job status, conflict of doctors and nurses as wel...

drought is a major limiting factor for agricultural production in most parts of the world and landraces areimportant genetic resources for crop improvement in dry areas. during the 2007-2008 cropping season, 23 chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) genotypes consisting of 21 kabuli chickpea landraces provided by the national plant gene bank of iran and two known commercial varieties (hashem and arman) ...
