The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of folk culture in Joseph Arthur Gobino's travel book entitled “Three Years in Asia” , based on the content analysis method in which he tries to divide these effect in six categories of hospitality, compliments, customs and types, Iranian art, architectural and urban features and the story of his trip to Iran. Superstitious thoughts were also studied and analyzed. The result of this study shows that although in his account of his trip to Iran Gobino was able to provide a detailed account of Iran's morality and behavior patterns, it would be impossible not to ignore the contrast between the European “I " and the oriental “other” that underlies his thoughts and descriptions of different aspects of Iranian life and customs. Conflicts that have a direct impact on the spectator's mind with the other and with what belongs to his territory, followed by his reports and descriptions.

Tube multi-point hydroforming is a new flexible forming technology for manufacturing of various tubular parts that presented and investigated in this paper for first time in the world. In this process, one die is enough to deform tubes to different shapes by utilizing high pressure fluid. In conventional hydroforming, it is necessary to manufacture different dies for producing different geometrical parts. This requires higher process time and cost. In present novel, tube multi-point hydroforming is investigated via FE simulation and experiments. In this process a new die based on multi point forming were designed and manufactured. Due to good formability of brass 70/30, a bulged tube and a rectangular tabular cross section of brass with initial thickness of 2mm are produced by applying this die to the process. The main difference between multi-point die and conventional dies is substituting the rigid surface by wide spaced pins. By adjusting the pins height, different tubular cross sections could be produced. This process is simulated and verified experimentally and defects are predicted. In order to decrease these defects an elastic layer of polyurethane is used. According to the simulation, maximum decreases in thickness are 11% and 17% for the bulged and rectangular cross section samples. These results are matched with the experiment.
