f or several decades, the selection of a proper tax base has been among the most serious concerns for the economic policy makers. the computable general equilibrium models analysis provides a comprehensive framework for the investigation of the effects of the adopted policies on the economy of a country. in the present study, using a static computable general equilibrium, the effects of tax re...

explosion and fire on an offshore rig can lead to its minor or complete damage and sinking which means the loss of life or environmental pollution. hence the use of techniques such as blast wall is crucial to reduce the detrimental effects. these blast walls are designed for explosion wave of length between 0.1 to 1 of load mainly to protect the personnel and critical sections. in this research...

in this paper, a crack localization method for euler-bernoulli beams via an efficient static data based indicator is proposed. the crack in beams is simulated here using a triangular variation in the stiffness. static responses of a beam are obtained by the finite element modeling. in order to reduce the computational cost of damage detection method, the beam deflection is fitted through a poly...

a truly meshless local petrov-galerkin (mlpg) method is developed for solving 3d elasto-static problems. using the general mlpg concept, this method is derived through the local weak forms of the equilibrium equations, by using test functions, namely, the heaviside function. the moving least squares (mls) are chosen to construct the shape functions, for the mlpg method. the penalty approximatio...

one of the methods for the improvement of soil against the tensile stresses is using the artificial supplements in soil such as metal belts or nets, polymer materials and natural fibers. technically this method is called the reinforced of soil.  when a pavement is located on soft soil, great deformations can occur as a result of the crossing of traffic load in superstructure layers of the body....

The problem of unbounded uniaxial chiral omega media in the presence of both static electric and magnetic point charges is investigated. For this purpose scalar electric and magnetic potentials in these media are introduced. Using these potentials, the corresponding electric and magnetic fields are determined. The similar problem of static electric and magnetic current sources with the goal of ...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate whether duration of static stretching could affect the maximal voluntary contraction (mvc) and flexibility of hamstring muscles. 10 male physical education students randomly performed three warm-up protocols on different days. the protocols included: a) five minutes of treadmill run and 45 seconds (3×15 seconds) of static stretching of hamstri...
