        The main target of this paper is to obtain an optimum wedge angle for best static and dynamic performance of a V-shaped clamp band separation mechanism. For this purpose, by using the finite element method, the proper 3D model for V-clamp band mechanism has been modelled and analysed in Abaqus/Explicit solver. In order to study the effect of wedge angle on bending and axial stiffness of V-clamp joint, many quasi-static analyses with different wedge angles were accomplished so the relation between wedge angle and axial stiffness of V-clamp joint under symmetric bending loading is extracted. In the next step, dynamic analyses were accomplished so the relation between wedge angle and separation time (duration between trigging moment and the time of disconnecting between flanges and wedged clamps) is extracted. For verification, this project results have been compared with the results of other researches and good agreement is observed. The results show that the optimal wedge angle for obtaining maximum stiffness together with minimum spring back disconnection time for the V-clamp band mechanism is 20˚. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper the behavior of nested tube systems under quasi-static compressive loading is investigated. Two nested tube systems with metal matrix composite are subjected to compressive loads so that in the system A the exterior and interior tubes are under axial and lateral loads, respectively but in the system B the exterior and interior tubes are under lateral and axial loads, respectively. Furthermore, these systems behavior are studied numerically. The results show that energy absorption capacity for both of nested tube systems is greater than the sum of energy absorption capacities of two constitutive tubes when loaded individually. Also, it is shown that the absorbed energy for system A is greater than that of system B. In this research the effects of section geometry and the condition of loading (axial or lateral)of thin-walled tubes on energy absorption capacity and the value of the peak load are studied both experimentally and numerically. تفاصيل المقالة

        One of the methods for the improvement of soil against the tensile stresses is using the artificial supplements in soil such as metal belts or nets, polymer materials and natural fibers. Technically this method is called the reinforced of soil. When a pavement is located on soft soil, great deformations can occur as a result of the crossing of traffic load in superstructure layers of the body. This can finally lead to the increase in the cost of maintenance and traffic pause in transportation. The main purpose of this study is to explore the effect of geotextile layers place in various depths of the body of pavement layers located on soft soil. For this purpose, models with the identical geometry from the transection of road using Finite Element Method software, PLAXIS were analyzed in two dimensions in which the location and the number of geotextile layers were considered in various depths. In continue, these models have been under static and dynamic loadings due to vehicles and the settlement rate and the lateral deformation of pavement in section has been evaluated. The results show that in static loading, the maximum safety factor of stability is that of layers in which the geotextile exists in the partition between subgrade and embankment layers. Also, between dynamic loading and increasing number of geotextile layers favorable result is not achieved. Although more studies need to be carried out in this area. تفاصيل المقالة
