The issue of fluid sloshing in vessels is of paramount importance in aerospace engineering. To suppress sloshing Baffles are used and one kind of baffles is “Perforated Baffle” that is good in weight efficiency. When fluid passes through Perforated Baffle, the energy dissipates and sloshing induces. The purpose of this study is to develop a model for linear sloshing in presence of a Perforated Baffle in the vessel. In this project, the flow is modeled by potential function. The Flow may be rotational in the nearby of baffle due to viscosity when it passes through-out perforations, so Laplace's equation for the velocity potential is useless in this region. To simulate the flow in such zones,... 

In small settling tanks, the sludges can be removed using perforated pipes. In this method the pipe is placed in the depth of a fluid and the lateral inflow through perforations lead to the outlet. Since there are few researches about hydraulic characteristic of perforated pipes, this research will investigate the hyadraulic characteristic of these pipes experimentally. One of the main objectives of these pipes is to use the entire lenghte of the pipe and also provide the uniform distribution of inflow. In the past studies, it was found out that inflow mostly comes through downstream perforations. The objective of this research is to find the distribution of discharge along the perporated... 

Transonic speed is one of the most important flight regimes. There are two main significances related to it. First, all of the supersonic air vehicles should pass through this regime to reach to their final speed. Second, nowadays most of the commercial airplanes fly in nearsonic speeds. According to nonlinear nature of the flow through the speeds, the related researchers haven’t been successful in development of a comprehensive theory as well as subsonic and supersonic ones. So, transonic flow is one of the most critical regimes in wind tunnel testing. In order to eliminate the shock-boundary layer interaction and wave cancellation, perforated walls and side suction are used in test section... 

In this thesis, sloshing of a rectangular container with perforated baffle is being analysed. Employing the linear sloshing theorem, we construct an accurate numerical and analytical approximation of natural sloshing mode in rectangular container with perforated baffle. Two dimensional irrotational flow of an ideal incompressible liquid is assumed. Finally the dissipated energy is being measured and equal viscous damping was calculated. So the perforation in which the damping is being maximized is determined and finally the results being compared with some experimental and analytical results from journal paper  

Through this thesis the Homogenization Theory for composite materials is studied assuming that the distribution of heterogeneities is periodic. In this theory two scales characterize the problem: microscopic and macroscopic scale. The first method that is used to solve the problem is the classical Asymptotic Expansion method where an error estimate is presented for the solution. The second method which was introduced by Luc Tartar for the first time is Oscillating Test Functions method. In the next chapter after introducing the concept of two-scale convergence, the Two-Scale Convergence method has been introduced. At last the unfolding
periodic method, which is based on the concept of... 

In this study, the flexural behavior of simple concrete beams with rectangular section (depth 20cm and width 18 cm) reinforced with perforated steel plates is evaluated. Perforated steel plates are used as an alternative for steel bars in the tension region. Because of special geometry, these plates are more integrated with surrounding concrete as compared with steel rebars. The holes in the plates caused local confinement on the surrounding concrete. Concrete beams are modeled with different number of perforated steel plates (one or two or four layer) in Abaqus software. Also beams with different patch lengths are modeled to evaluate patch length of perforated steel plates. Results of... 

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... 

The effect of using backpressure of air injection in a microchannel on internal flow pressure drop were investigated in this study. Multiphase flows are commonly encountered in gas and oil industries. Flow fields in production operations are often complex and include multiphase flows of gas and liquid. Previously, because of their complex nature, these flow patterns have been mostly investigated only experimentally and empirical correlations based on the experimental data. From another point of view, it is almost impossible to experimentally realize all the flow conditions for each of the flow patterns. Nowadays computer facilities provide the tool to construct and use large-scale... 

The present study looks into the fracture of perforated steel plates and their sensitivity in ductile fracture. It also examines the effects of strain rise phenomenon in these specimens. The main employed fracture model is VGM, which was first introduced by Rice and Tracey, and later enhanced by Kanvinde et al.. The general methodology includes finite element simulation and lab experiments on perforated plates, to determine ductility, strain concentration in hole periphery and model sensitivity. Fot thid purpose 86 steel sheet specimen with different holes and cuts were manufactured and tested. With the acquired data, the impact of strain concentration on the load carrying capabilities and... 

In the present study, a number of Steel Plate Shear wall (SPSW) models with various infill plates such as perforated and slit infill panels are analyzed and the results are utilized to discuss about behavior of Steel Plate Shear walls with various infill plates. The ABAQUS finite element package is utilized for all Eigen value and incremental nonlinear pushover analyses. Cyclic loading is in compliance with the ATC 24 loading protocol (ATC 1992). To validate modeling, boundary conditions and loading procedures, the experimental results provided by Darren Vian et al. [102, 103] and In-Rak et al. [48, 49] was modeled and analyzed. Investigation of steel plate shear walls made of different... 

Noise pollution is one of the major issues in automative industry. Many of these noises are caused by the internal combustion engine. Using reactive mufflers in the car's exhaust path can effectively reduce this annoying noises. Imposed pressure drop caused by installation this mufflers must be within an acceptable range for the car engine. Resonators, despite having a much lower pressure drop than other components of the exhaust system, can be used to cover the weaknesses of the muffler in the acoustic performance of the noise reduction set. One of the most common methods for designing a resonator is to use perforated plates. In this study the effect of various geometric parameters of a... 

Steel shear wall is a lateral load resistance system, which has been taken into consideration in recent decades for designing and reinforcing high-rise buildings. This system is comprised of steel filler panel surrounded by frame members including beams and columns. Steel shear walls are presently fabricated in two types, stiffened and unstiffened. According to numerous conducted research, it can be stated that the stiffened type has better seismic performance. The use of stiffeners with a great number of executive details is required to spend more time and costs on the construction sector. In order to solve these problems, some experimental and numerical studies have been conducted on...
