In this paper, the laser bending process of a circular tube made of mild steel has been investigated experimentally. For this purpose, the effects of the irradiating length and the number of irradiating passes on the main bending angle of a laser bent tube are studied. In addition, the main defects of the laser tube bending process such as lateral bending angle, ovality and thickness variation ...

In this research, an apparatus was designed and constructed in order to simulate the storage behavior of hand-woven carpet under different environmental conditions. Silk hand-woven carpet (“Gom”) with 115×75 cm dimensions and 102×97 knot per 10 cm was selected and then inserted into the packing simulator with two different laying configurations including flat and folded....

abstractbackground: although electronic portal imaging devices (epids) have originally developed for positioning verification, they can also be used for dosimetric purposes. in the current work, the dose response of minimum detectable thickness of a scanning liquid filled ion chamber epid, slic-epid, and the variation of transmitted dose with the shift of inhomogeneity inside of phantom was als...

Ionospheric slab thickness is defined as the ratio of TEC to maximum electron density of the F-region (NmF2), proportional to the square of the F2-layer critical frequency (foF2). It is an important parameter in that it is linearly correlated with scale height of the ionosphere, which is related to electron density profile. It also reflects variation of the neutral temperature. Therefore, ionos...

purpose: to measure macular thickness in normal subjects with respect to age and gender using cirrus hd-oct in rasht city. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 112 normal subjects were randomly selected. both eyes of each subject were included and all subjects underwent complete eye examinations. macular thickness map protocol with macular cube 512×128 was selected, and the average thickness...

In this research, thermal buckling of thin rectangular plate made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) with linear varying thickness is considered. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The supporting condition of all edges of such a plate is simply supported. ...
