Upper Gotvand dam is constructed on the Karun River located in the south west of Iran. In this paper, 2D and 3D models of the dam together with the foundation and abutments were constructed and several seepage analyses were carried out. Then the gypsum veins scattered throughout the foundation ground and also the seepage pattern were included in the models, hence the dissolution law of gypsum, ...

The need for assessing and retrofitting structures increased with time as terrorism-induced explosion trends rose time. This paper presents a numerical investigation on performance assessment of two-story, one-bay seismic resistant reinforced concrete framed building under close-in blast loading. ANSYS AUTODYN, an explicit nonlinear finite element software program, was used 3D model development...

Background: Over the last years, more and more biological data became available. Besides the pure amount of new data, also its dimensionality—the number of di erent attributes per data point—increased. Recently, especially the amount of data on chromatin and its modifications increased considerably. In the field of epigenetics, appropriate visualization tools designed for highlighting the di er...

The jet morphology of square and circular cross-section shaped charge with same inscribed circle diameter were observed by conducting an X-ray experiment. Depth-of-penetration tests at standoffs 80 160 mm also carried out. formation was studied using AUTODYN software. results showed that the consists a condensed part non-condensed part. has similar characteristics to corresponding charge. And i...

Abstract The influence of different initiation manners on the forming features reactive material jets was investigated using AUTODYN-3D simulation software. numerical findings demonstrate that, as compared to center point initiation, annular multi-point greatly improves velocity jet head created, but expansion impact is more noticeable during generating process. At and axis jet, there are low d...

Introduction Emerging hypotheses suggest a causal role for prenatal androgen exposure in some cases of Autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The ratios of the lengths of the bones of the 2nd to the 4th digits (2D:4D) are purported to be markers for prenatal androgen exposure and to be established early in gestation. Ratio of second and fourth digits (2D:4D)  is usually used as a proxy for prenatal t...

Objective- Assessment of the lens anterior – posterior (AP) diameter as compared with the eye globe by ultrasonography in rabbit.   Design- Descriptive study.   Animals- 120 male and female rabbits, two months to four years old, and weighting between 300 to 1500gr.   Procedures- 2D ultrasonography of the eyes was performed and AP diameter of the eyes and lens were measured using Sonosite Tit...
