AXIAL CRUSHING ENERGY ABSORPTION CAPACITY OF ALUMINUM ALLOY THIN-WALLED MULTI-CORNER TUBES by SUN HongTu, WANG Jian, SHEN GuoZhe, HU Ping

“…The multi-corner tubes with 12 corners show better energy absorption capacity than the tubes with more corners which could lead to the small size of corners or the unstable deformations. The high axial crushing energy absorption capacity of the multi-corner tubes prefers increasing the corner number and corner size of adjacent sides at the same time.…”

The Study of Tariff Barriers and Foreign Exchange Rates Effects in the Function of Iran's Import Demand: A Critical Review of Iran's Trade Policy and Foreign Exchange Regime for Re... by Ali Zahedtalaban, Mahdi Khodaparast Mashhadi, Ahmad Sabahi, Mohamadreza Lotfalipour

“…But by reviewing the bottlenecks and shortcomings of trade policy in Iran, in particular by considering inefficiency of foreign exchange policies, we can realize that the actual tariff protection is much less than what isshowon in nominal one, and therefore, the estimated result for tariff effect is justifiable. A list of reforms and recommendation policies in line with real support of the national production are proposed at the end of paper.…”
