For this purpose, the pressure on the propeller surface at different cross sections has been calculated numerically by six different turbulence models and compared with the experimental data. In the first part, the effects of changing the blade angle have been discussed, in this case, the angles of 0, 2, and 12 degrees have been selected. The results showed that changes in the pitch angle of the propeller have led to an increase in the error rate of numerical calculations. At a high pitch angle and in the same chord section, the highest amount of error is produced in leading edge section of the propeller, among which the best model in terms of production error is the k-e RNG. Also, due to the possibility of the formation of shock waves, the S-A and k-e standard models have very large errors, which shows these models' inability to simulate rotating flow with shock waves.

Inverter microgrids (MGs) in island operation are nonlinear systems with multiple dynamic modes. One of the main advantages of a microgrid is its ability to operate in islanded mode, where the DGs are responsible for providing both active and reactive power requirements by themselves. The distinguishing feature of distributed generation, with power electronic interfaces, which usually work as voltage source inverters, is the flexibility to provide controlled and high-quality energy. In this paper, the dynamic model of a microgrid based on inverter voltage sources in the first level of control is used. The behavior of a microgrid in the time domain is simulated and the performance of a microgrid is shown in three different modes. The inverter source control model including power control loops, voltage control and current control loops as well as the LC filter of the source output in the dq biaxial reference device are used. The simulation results show that with conventional dropout strategies, the active power distribution is done properly between sources, but it is not accurate enough to distribute the reactive power between the resources of a microgrid.

In this research, using the tolerance analysis capabilities in Inventor software to set the tolerance of the speed reducer gearbox. First, the dimensions of the conical rotor of the elevator gearbox were obtained by Geomagic reverse engineering software, and then the results were used in Inventor software to develop the gearbox model into a three-speed gearbox. Dimensional and geometric static tolerance analysis of this collection was done by using the worst-case, sum of square roots, process capability index and sigma methods. The results showed the worst-case method in tolerance analysis works more cautiously than other methods, as well as the residual sum of squares method, shows less laxity and interference than the worst-case method. Process index method, confirmed the assembly and in the sigma method, the sigma function considers the level of tolerance to be acceptable. Also, to ensure the correctness of the obtained tolerances, dynamic analysis has been done by using ADAMS software. The results showed that the set did not have any excessive slack or interference during movement. For validation, the results of this study were compared with Monte Carlo simulation results and showed good agreement. Manuscript profile

In most of these methods, the drug travels through the body during exposure to the acidic environment of the stomach, passing through the tight connections of cells in the intestinal wall. This attitude is based on the fact that a sufficient concentration of the drug enters the bloodstream. The process of targeted drug delivery maintains the level of an appropriate drug concentrations for a long time and reduces many of the usual therapeutic limitations such as the number of doses used. In this research, the use of natural biopolymers in the engineering and medical engineering industries and the use of electro spraying for core-shell have been investigated. Also, the side effects of simple drug release in the systemic distribution are unclear. Each targeted delivery system includes a target drug, carrier, and ligand, in which the distribution, metabolism, and cellular uptake of the drug are determined by the physicochemical characteristics and biological behavior of the carrier and ligand. Therefore, proper carrier and ligand design increases drug efficacy in patient tissues and reduces drug toxicity in other healthy tissues. Many new techniques such as electrospray using natural polymers can use for treatment of those disease with sufficient time of drug release using an appropriate drug. Manuscript profile -

The external disturbance is assumed as a sinusoid effect. By using the forth order Rung-Kutta numerical integration method, bifurcation diagram, largest Lyapunov exponent and Lyapunov dimension are calculated and presented to detect the critical controlling parameter. Having known the critical values, phase portrait, Poincare maps, time history and power spectrum are presented to observe periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic behaviors of the system. Finally, the system damping is used as a parameter to control chaos. It is shown that by increasing the system damping, the chaotic behavior of the system converts to a periodic motion.

Therefore, the stress fields have been generally one or two dimensional. Anti-roll bar is a component belongs to the suspension system of the vehicles. In spite of having simple circular section, due to the having several curvatures, this component experiences a three-dimensional stress field. This component is usually under alternating bending and torsion loads and the fatigue phenomenon is the main cause of its breakage and failure. In the present paper, employing the finite element method and the prepared computer code, the accumulated fatigue damage analysis of the mentioned component is accomplished based on the modified version of the well-known critical plane- type theories for three-dimensional stress fields. Results of the proposed theories are compared with the experimental fatigue results. Manuscript profile -

MoreIn this study the effects of machining parameters such as shearing speed, feed rate, tool diameter and machining depth on different milling strategies i.e. 3D offset, spiral, raster and radial to produce the convex surface made of epoxy/glass composites is investigated. The effects of mentioned strategies on output parameters such as surface roughness and milling removal rate is also studied. The results show that the output of radial strategy has the minimum roughness with the highest surface quality. The raster strategy gives the maximum roughness with the lowest surface quality. Also it can be seen that in 3D offset strategy, the removal rate is maximum and subsequently the time of machining is minimum. In addition the optimized values of machining parameters to achieve the best conditions for surface smoothness and removal rate is obtained. The results of this work can be used in research and development units of industries for operational purposes. Manuscript profile -
