        The braking system in cars is directly deals with the issue of safety, and as a result, it is essential to pay attention to this matter. One of the materials used to make disc and brake pads in disc brakes is a ceramic material. This research aims to simulate and analyze the dynamic-thermal ceramic brake disc during the braking operation using the finite element method. Currently, the conventional brake disc is used in the Peugeot 206 car (domestic production), which has low efficiency in terms of life, wear, etc. Therefore, in this research, considering the significant production of Peugeot 206 car in the country, the disc and brake pads of this car have been selected, which were first modeled by Catia software, and after transferring the model to Abacus software and defining the types of ceramics and Cast iron was analyzed by finite element method. Compared the results of the Peugeot 206 ceramic brake disc and pad analysis were with the results of the standard (cast iron) discs in this car. The results showed that the maximum von Mises stress in the ceramic disc was 260.7 MPa, while the maximum von Mises stress in the cast iron disc was 293.3 MPa. The amount of heat produced in the ceramic disc during the braking action in 4 seconds was almost 84% less than the cast iron disc in the same period. Also, the results showed that the ceramic disc has a higher safety factor (1.98) than the cast iron disc (1.45). Manuscript profile

        Transformers are one of the most important components of compact substations, and the study of their magnetic and thermal behavior inside compact substations is very important. Determining the thermal distribution inside transformers is often difficult due to the geometric complexity of the transformer structure, the dependence of the properties of the materials used on the temperature, and the nonlinearity of their magnetic behavior. In the meantime, the use of numerical methods such as finite elements is an efficient method to determine the thermal distribution inside the transformer and also to determine the maximum temperature of the transformer windings. In this dissertation, using magnetic and two-dimensional thermal analysis of finite elements by Ansys software, the thermal distribution of transformer windings in normal outdoor operation conditions and also in conditions where the transformer is located inside the compact post is determined and according to The temperature difference of the maximum temperature of the coils in the two conditions determines the thermal class of the compact substation.

        The rolling process is actually the shaping of steel, in which rollers are used to change the shape, improve the mechanical properties of the material, and eliminate the uniformity of the metal. Steel can be rolled in two forms, hot and cold, each of which has its characteristics. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of thermal stress during the rolling process on the failure of rollers using finite element simulation. This construction is non-linear and it is hypothesized that the roller is isotropic, without cracks and thermal strain, and the temperature of the environment is similar to the room. In this research, the effect of basic and accurate cooling during the rolling process has also been investigated. The results obtained in six hot rolling are created according to the highest number of rollers and the number of rollers in the rollers, which is shown and the extent of the role of thermal stresses on the failure of the rollers is stated Manuscript profile

        Evaluation of soil bearing capacity coefficients of has been the focus of a significant amount of studiesby various researchers. In all conducted studies and analyses, by considering different forms ofearthquake load with pseudo-static performance, different results have been obtained. In this research,evaluation of soil bearing capacity coefficients under earthquake load has been carried out using finiteelements software Plaxis and the obtained results have been compared with those from other publishedstudies. Moreover, the effect of the inertia of the underpinning soil on the soil bearing capacitycoefficients was modeled in the pseudo- static mode and the results indicated that bearing capacitycoefficients obtained from pseudo-static gave good agreement with other methods. However,comparison of these two results revealed that the results obtained from numerical modeling are moreconservative and are on the safety side. Finally, since the pseudo –static load is not characterized as anappropriate alternative for the earthquake load; the effect of underpinning soil on the manner oftransferring the earthquake waves until reaching the foundation bed has been also investigated.Evaluation of soil bearing capacity coefficients of has been the focus of a significant amount of studiesby various researchers.

        Passing through the different soil layers, earthquake-induced faulting can reach the ground surface and cause serious damage to infrastructure, especially bridge structures. Therefore, it is necessary to divert the rupture path from the vicinity of the structure using modern techniques. Embedding a barrier wall on the rupture path is an efficient solution to mitigate the secondary effects of this phenomenon (such as ground surface displacements, and foundation and pier rotations). In this paper, a numerical study is carried out on a barrier wall filled with eco-line spheres near a concrete bridge foundation as a novel faulting rupture path diversion technique. Moreover, the effects of different parameters including changes in width, depth, and barrier wall-bridge foundation distance on rupture path, 45-degree reverse dip-slip fault, and changes in the vertical displacement and the rotation of the foundation have been studied. The results have shown that when the barrier wall is placed on the rupture path, it can effectively divert the waves and reduce plastic strains, soil strain energy, and ground surface deflections by up to 100 percent and mitigate structural response by up to 50 percent, hence effectively preventing damage to both the ground surface and the structure.

        Little evidence of the formation of plastic zones is seen in damaged structures in various earthquakes. Most of the conducted studies have focused on creating a plastic hinge in a part of the beam making irreparable damage to the beam. If the plastic joint in the beam does not occur, a force will be created which is more than the plastic moment of the beam to be transferred to the connection and the column. This will either cause the brittle failure of the connection or damage to the panel zone of the column. Therefore, in this research, four connections with new geometry have been proposed aimed at reducing damage in beams and columns and the possibility of replacing damaged parts. In general, the proposed connections are suggested by replacing an H or I-shaped section with a companion, or instead of an end-plate, as a short stub column. In this study, first, a finite element model of the end-plate connection, which is a combination of welding and screwing, subjected to cyclic loading, was selected. Then, after the validation of Abaqus software, a study was carried out on the proposed connections. The results show that the stable region, with its nonlinear behavior, creates a controlled limited joint with extraordinary ductility. Yielding in the stub causes its fusion behavior and prevents damage to beams and columns It also significantly reduces the plastic stress and strain in the panel zone of the column.

        Underground structures are the best options to build command posts, shelters, weapons depots, important equipment, and defense industries. The manner in which a loading is caused by launch of airplane bombs on buried underground structures is among major issues on which relatively few studies have been carried out, and may not be considered in design of such structures. The simultaneous and Multi-step explosions of missile launches from aircraft and drones also affect the buried structural response.  Therefore, in the present study, after verifying the validity of the numerical model with a real model, a comparative study on the effect of simultaneous and multi-stage bombs on response of secure buried structures in soil was carried out using finite element method. This issue has been investigated in four cases with constant burial depth and different explosion location. The results of maximum stresses presented that, in the case of multiple-stage bombing loads, underground structures under study, in all considered situations, experienced more stress than the simultaneous explosive loading mode. The difference of these changes has been observed in some places up to about 15%. Manuscript profile

        Passing through the different soil layers, earthquake-induced faulting can reach the ground surface and cause serious damage to infrastructure, especially bridge structures. Therefore, it is necessary to divert the rupture path from the vicinity of the structure using modern techniques.
