this research work is devoted to the development of a mathematical model for the simulation of the flow of polymeric melts through the die region of extruders. a set of governing equations are solved using finite element method. standard galerkin technique is used in conjunction with the mixed scheme to solve the flow equation. due to the non-linear nature of global equations, the picard iterat...

starting from two-dimensional (2d) equations of motion, discretized formulations for transient behavior of soil-structure interaction problems have been derived. two different dynamic infinite elements taking into account single and two-wave types are presented in transformed space. by coupling the infinite elements with standard finite elements, an ordinary finite element procedure is used for...

introduction: with the rapid increase in use of lasers in medical treatments, it is important to understand the mechanisms of heat transfer in biological tissues in order to minimize damage to the tissues resulting from extra heat applied. the aim of this study is to investigate the temperature distribution in living biological tissues when laser irradiation is used in a treatment. methods:  in...

objective: intrusion as a type of tooth movement is managed by different mechanotherapies during various treatment stages. the morphology of the apical third of the teeth to be intruded plays an important role in the risk of root resorption due to the raise of stresses. the main goal of this study was to compare various types of apical third of the teeth while loaded by an intrusive force. mate...

during the design and development of truck cabins, the safety of the driver and the front seat passenger in an accident is an important task and should be considered. the cab must be designed in such a way that in an accident a sufficient survival space is guaranteed. the aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of iran khodro (ikco) 2624 truck subjected to a complex crash test accordin...

sandwich sheet rolling process is investigated using an analytical method (slab method) and a numerical method (finite element method). the horizontal stress distribution in the layers, the rolling pressure along the contact interface and the neutral point between the roll and the sheet are investigated. then the affects of the parameters such as the friction between the sheet and the roll, she...
