Dual Phase ferritic-martensitic steels are kind of high strength low alloy steels (HASLA) which are widely used in industry because of their strength and formability. Since welding of dual phase steels in conventional welding methods causes structural change and Subsequently alters mechanical properties of both weld zone and heat affected zone(HAZ), additional operations which are not commercially viable is needed to achieve a dual phase structure in structurally changed regions. In this study, transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding method is used during dual phasing process in order to preserve dual phase ferritic-martensitic structure and avoid extra heat treatment. Applied pressure during... 

The  aim  of  this  work  is  to  investigate  some  theoretical  models  developed  in  recent years for describing electronic correlation and apply them to some special problems  and  metallicity  and  insulating  behavior  of  one  type  of  paramagnetic  systems. One  of  the  vast‐applied  and  effective  routines  for  investigating  the  strongly  correlated electron systems is Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT). In the first part,  the  equations  of  DMFT  are  solved  on  nearly  real  frequency  axis  with  a  effective and more reliable solver a little parameter γ above the real axis. This approach  appears  fine  structures  that  can’t  be  captured  with  the ... 

Sialons are materials which crystallize in four elements system (Si-Al-O-N). These materials have been widely observed by researchers because of their suitable properties like: high toughness and strength in high temperatures, high resistance to corrosion and stability in thermal shock. Because of these properties,Sialons are anti erosion materials. In this research, by controling the situations, mullite has been synthesized by sol-gel procedure.

Nowadays, oil has an important role in our life and most of its role can be seen on the transportation. Discovering and extraction of oil are very important to produce oil and receive it to costumer. When oil is discovered, the oil companies used to drill the ground to extract the oil but they can’t extract all of oil from its reservoir. So, researchers proposed to inject another fluid like water to the oil reservoir to extract oil. Oil is trapped in the porous media which has a lot of pores and some of them have a micro scale size and they contain oil. When water is injected to the reservoir it flows in this pore and interfaces with oil and they create a multiphase flow. The governing...

Prediction of groundwater level fluctuations is absolutely necessary for the proper manag ement of these precious resources. There are different methods to predict hydrological time series such as groundwater level. Linear models inefficiency in predicting nonlinear and n on-stationary time series cause researchers widely use artificial intelligence techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and their hybrid models such as Artificial Neural – Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). These smart models are capable to simulate nonlinear and non-stationary time series in suitable accu-racy using by a few time and data. By emersion of Wavelet... 

Foundation is the lowest load-bearing part of a structure and a part of underneath soil that is affected by the structure load. In fact, foundation transfers the loads from the superstructure to the substructure, preventing excessive settlement of soil or stresses exceeding soil bearing capacity. Indeed, almost all structures are placed on the ground, therefore the effects of soil and structure on each other, which is known as Soil Structure Interaction (SSI), is considered as a key factor in many important and engineered structures. In contrast to structures on a rigid footing, a flexible foundation may show stiffness degradation along with an increase of damping and natural period of the...

This set of data is regularly used for tasks such as studying cells and organisms, understanding cell states, cancer prediction, etc. and is of great importance in Systems Biology.In this thesis, we concentrate on studying cells or organisms using such data, where during that process, we... 

Topological combinatorics is an almost novel branch in mathematics whose dawn began to shine originally from Lovász studies at late 70's. The main purpose of the pursued subjects in this branch is to apply topological methods in order to conclude various combinatorial results based on the famous Borsuk-Ulam's theorem which itself is a very deep statement in algebraic topology and has many equivalent versions. For instance, one of these versions states that there is no continuous map f:S^n⟶S^(n-1) which behaves antipodally. In this thesis, we intend to take a considerably long journey in homology theory to pave the way toward a complete proof of this theorem and some of its generalizations....

The best launch vehicle system is one that not only performs the mission well but is also cost-effective, has higher efficiency, higher reliability, and is easier to maintain. This project aims to develop a multi-disciplinary launch vehicle design software with a graphical interface. In this project, using a... 

Due to the increasing development of digital systems based on limited energy sources (i.e. battery), energy efficiency has become one of the most important concerns in the design of these systems. The use of multi-core architecture is an effective solution for the problem of reducing energy consumption. Hence using it in digital systems has become more common. In addition, enabling methods for reducing energy consumption on processor, helps in making energy more efficient. DVFS and DPM are the two major methods used for reducing dynamic and static energy consumption of processors. The using of multi-core architecture due to the higher chip density, results the static and dynamic energy... 

Integrated guidance and control (IGC) as a new approach to guidance and control methods has been studied in this thesis. A new approach to nonlinear aerodynamic formulation with backstepping controller has been proposed in order to improve interception. Various curve fitting techniques like Gram-schmidt method has been tested. But finally a planar aerodynamic formulation was used which only varies with angle of attack. Results showed that the proposed method requests smaller control input than the linear IGC formulation and conventional G&C methods, because of more precise knowledge of normal force coefficient. Thus the vehicle experiences smaller angle of attack and normal acceleration....
