This paper presents geometrically nonlinear behavior of cracked fiber reinforced composite beams by using finite element method with and the first shear beam theory. Total Lagrangian approach is used in the nonlinear ...

The main goal in this paper is to make analysis of post-buckling of laminated composite beams under hygrothermal effect. In solution of problem, finite element method is utilized with the first shear beam theory. Total ...

The management and operation of the wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) have an important role in the controlling and monitoring of the plants' operations. Various performance data are taken into account in the controlling ...

There are numerous drought indicators used by decision makers all around the globe which have been developed to fulfill specific needs. By far, risks associated with drought and related consequences have become a bold topic ...

The influence of syneresis on the shear strength parameters of both sodium silicate-formamide and sodium silicate-glyoxal grouted sands was investigated under wet-cured as well as air-dried conditions. Syneresis of sodium ...

The effect of superplasticizer on the grouting performance of superfine cement and the engineering properties of grouted sand were investigated. At first, the bleeding, setting time, and viscosity tests were conducted to ...

As a UNESCO biosphere, Lake Urmia is a shallow hypersaline lake which is facing a rapid water surface degradation. Evaporation from the surface of the Lake, as a physical process which accelerates the Lake's degradation, ...

This paper presents forced vibration analysis of sandwich deep beams made of functionally graded material (FGM) in face layers and a porous material in core layer. The FGM sandwich deep beam is subjected to a harmonic ...

Mine tailings cause significant storage and environmental problems because a large amount of tailings containing potentially numerous hazardous contaminants is generated during mining operations. Therefore, the utilization ...

Frequency domain analysis using an additive decomposition method is proposed to reconstruct the missing hydrometeorological data of selected sites in Lake Urmia basin in Iran. Precipitation, evaporation, streamflow and ...
