Aeroelasticity analysis and prediction of wind turbines sturcture deformations are fundamental parts in their design. Increasing the size of wind turbine blades and development of Mega-watt sized wind turbines have enhanced the importance of these studies. In this study, the aeroelasticity analysis of a wind turbine blade has been done based on flexible multibody dynamics method. For this purpose, the modal approach has been used for modeling blade structure which has been considered as a flexible beam with bending and torsion degrees of freedom. The unsteady vortex lattice method has been used to calculate aerodynamic loads in order to combine with wind turbine blade structure model. Using...

Water hammer is a pressure surge or wave resulting when a pressurized fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly. This phenomenon can cause great amount of damage to the system and should be considered in designing of pipe systems. So, researchers have derived and proposed numerous models using different approaches. In this study a one-dimensional model using Time Splitting Method (TSM) and Double Sweep Method (DSM) are proposed to simulate transient flow in deformable pipes in networks. To solve the equations of momentum and continuity TSM is applied. In addition Brunone model is used to study the effect of unsteady friction on water hammer wave shape and attenuation. To... 

This thesis is devoted to prove the existance of solution and structure of solu­ tion for some partial differential equations by using some modern topological and variational thechniques. Taking direction from the literature, this thesis is interested in existence, uniqueness, blow-up in finite time for some evolution equations, multiplicity and radial solution for certain elliptic partial differential equations.-Employing Fibrering, Galerkins, Mountain Pass-Lemma and lions com­ pactness Lemma are sharp in this thesis to prove the exsistence and multiplicity of solutions and overcome lack of compactness in some cases  

Aabsal Co. was established in north east of Tehran in 1956, under the name of Loab Iran Private LTD.  Co.  and  continued  its  activity  in  manufacturing  enameled  dishes,  bowl,  tea  pots  and  etc.  until 1964.

Finally we have attempted to implement TPM. For this purpose we have taken a section of the factory as a pilot plant and have started to implement TPM there to... 

In this research ,lean and agile indexes in S.G.S Co. are evaluated. This company is the first company in engineering and supplying automotive parts as well as the first supply chain management and organization of Saipa Group. In the part of evaluating the lean management level it is the developed model of the suggested approach by Jackson “implementing a lean management system” (Jackson, 1996). As S.G.S is engaged in servicing activities not in production, we have changed some factors in Jackson's methodology. Different with the last model, we got the results and used AHP method for getting the level in each key. Finally by using another AHP the lean index of the S.G.S Co. was identified.... 

In this thesis , we consider nonnegative (continuous) weak solutions of the porous medium equation with source , u_t-∆u^m=u^p, and p>m>1 .

In one space-dimensional, the conclusion of the result mentioned above remains true without the assumption of the radial symmetry. The proof is based on the intersection-comparison arguments , zero number argum- ents and a key step is to show the... 

Our problem is to evaluation state and form of a tracer passing through the vessel. Using this method, we can identify the effect of during used in some defected parts of body. This evaluation leads to in solving a Laplace equation with mixed boundary condition. Separating that problem, we reach to a collection of algebraic and linear equations. Solving this system, we approximate coefficients of the solution with a series the existence and uniqueness of and analytic solution has been proved using the Eigen functions finally, using numerical algorithms, we have interpreted the analytical solutions.
 

This thesis is based on articles [18,15]. Zhao [18] has studied a free boundary problem modeling the growth of tumors with drug application. In this model live cells are two kindes: proliferative cells and quiescent cells. This model consists of two nonlinear second-order parabolic equations describing the diffusion of nutrient and drug concentration, and three nonlinear first-order hyperbolic equations describing the evolution of proliferative cells, quiescent cells and dead cells. He has proved that this free boundary problem has a unique global solution. Tao and Chen [15] have studied another free boundary problem modelling the growth of an avascular tumour with drug application. The... 

Selective withdrawal from water and settlement reservoirs and tanks is necessary for water and environmental systems. Perforated pipes can be used for selective withdrawal within the length of these reservoirs. In this method, the lateral inflow through perforations leads to the outlet of the pipe that is placed in a depth of fluid. In relation to the hydraulics of perforated pipes, most studies are about drainage pipes and perforated pipes that are used as wellbores in horizontal wells, but application of these pipes have not been investigated in submerged situations. Capacity estimation of perforated pipes based on inside diameter of the pipe, material of the pipe, perforations of the... 

Nowadays, as a result of rapid changes of market, it is necessary to reduce the period between design and manufacturing of a new product. Among them, process planning is one of the most difficult elements of production chain and also, there are a few numbers of experts in this field. In addition, this process is time-consuming and costly. So, it is important for companies to reduce the period of new product’s presentation by reduction of process planning duration. On the other hand, it is proved that the lowest level of integration in CIM systems is in CAPP section. Integration provides sharing data in the system, so the other parts of production systems can exchange product information and...

One of the miscellaneous units that are frequently used in water and wastewater systems is flush tank. Flush tank increases the self cleaning velocity in the conduit, and helps to clear the conduits from deposits and contaminations. While these units have been used for many years, there is not enough information about the hydraulic performance of these units in respect to the discharge, distance from the tank and the pipe hydraulics. In this paper the experimental results from observed hydrographs at different distances from the flush tank in a pipe has been presented. The variables include; volume of releasing water (or inlet hydrograph), upstream head, pipe diameter (3 and 4 cm), pipe... 

Air entering in to the water supply systems and occurrence of two-phase flow makes several problems in design and operation of these systems by damaging the structures and making indefinite and complicated conditions. Existence of some singularities like contractions in pipelines makes the conditions more indefinite. So an experimental study is performed in order to investigate the two-phase flow hydraulic properties in a rectangular channel in presence of an area contraction. The contraction ratio is σ=0.44, whereby the test section is included two different rectangular channels from 60 × 100 mm to 40 × 67 mm. Four series of experiments are performed using four types of transitions with... 

In this thesis we investigating two models of cancer invasion .First, a general mathematical model of cancer invasion is presented. In this model there are three factors: tumor cell, extracellular matrix and enzyme. The model consists of a parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) describing the evolution of tumor cell density , an ordinary differential equation modeling of extracellular matrix and a parabolic PDE governing the evolution of the matrix degrading enzyme concentration. This model is investigated in two special versions for existence and uniqueness of global solutions. In the first model we neglect the remodeling term, this model is named the chemotaxis-haptotaxis model.... 

In competitive environment of quick market changes, developing an interoperable manufacturing system is a necessity. Process planning as a connection link between design and manufacturing, has never been able to integrate these up/down stream activities and in spite of employing computer systems, CAPP’s information has been managed in an isolated manner. To realize interoperability, the exchange of part and product data must be independent of their platforms. There are two basic approaches for this purpose: i) Utilizing interface and ii) Utilizing neutral formats. STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product data) plays a significant role as a neutral data model to integrate design,...
