this paper examines differences in performances of a range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings designed with the provisions of iranian standard 2800. seismic nonlinear dynamic time history behavior of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional design spectra compatible ground motions are investigated. these models cover a wide range of very torsional...

Parallel computers offer the opportunity to significantly reduce the computation time necessary to analyze large-scale aerospace structures. This paper presents algorithms developed for and implemented on a massively-parallel computers hereafter referred to as Scalable High Performance Computers (SHPC) for the most computationally intensive tasks involved in structural analysis, namely, generat...

cylindrical steel tanks are important components of many industrial plants such as oil refineries and chemical plants. usually failure of cylindrical tanks leads to serious consequences. during the past earthquakes such as 1964 alaska and 1999 turkey seismic performance of cylindrical tanks revealed that tanks are seismically vulnerable. therefore, evaluation of seismic performance of these str...

in this study a nonlinear asymmetric instability analysis carried out to study primary atomization of annular liquid sheets emanating from the prefilming airblast atomizer using a perturbation method and potential flow assumption. in this direction, firstly governing equations derived according to potential flow assumption and conservation equations while dynamic and static boundary condition a...

Bridges, as an essential part of transportation system, play a special role in economy, politic and military all around the world. Serviceability of bridges is of high importance especially in emergencies, helping injured people and proportioning transportation after earthquakes. Earthquake regulation codes, normally suggest linear methods to conduct the analysis, and nonlinear analysis is bare...
