Photon scattering is one of important factor to reduce image quality and signal to noise ratio. Scattered photons can due toexistent ingredient in the radiography environment and curvature of material transmission pipe where cause the disorder creation in the radiography images. In this research, pipe radiography simulated using the TIC and TIR radiography... 

    Flight envelope expansion in landing phase using classic, intelligent and adaptive controllers [electronic resource]

    , Article Journal of aircraft ; 2006, Vol. 43, No. 1 Malaek .S. M. B ; Izadi, Hojjat Allah ; Pakme, Mehrdad
    Abstract
    An expanding flight envelope in the landing phase of a typical jet transport aircraft in presence of strong wind shears using a learning capable control system (LCCS) is investigated. The idea stems fromhuman beings functional architecture that gives them the ability to do more as they age and gain more experience. With the knowledge that classical controllers lack sufficient generality to cope with nonlinear as well as uncertain phenomenon such as turbulent air, the focuse is on different types of intelligent controllers due to their learning and nonlinear generalization capabilities as candidates for the landing flight phase. It is shown that the latter class of controllers could be used... 

    Mind-Body Problem from Wittgenstein’s Perspective

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Karimi, Ahmad (Author) ; Hojjat, Mino (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    To provide a stable foundation for human knowledge Descartes presumed that human being is composed of two distinct substances, the mind and the body. But, the solution through which he wanted to explain the correlation between these substances, was not accepted by other philosophers, and thereafter this problem was known as mind-body problem. This problem arises some other philosophical problems including solipsism and the problem of other minds. In this thesis, considering the grammar of such words like memory, understanding, and thinking I will show that having an exact description of these concepts we would be able to escape from these inclination to seek something behind these words, and... 

    Designing a System for Pulse Pile-Up Processing in Gamma Ray Spectroscopy Based on Digital Method

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Hojjat, Saeed (Author) ; Hosseini, Abolfazl (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In Radiation Detection Systems applied in Spectroscopy and Imaging, if the rate of particle incidence with detector is high, the output pulses being stacked up on each other will be expected, which is known as “Pulse Pile-up”. Pulse pile-up might result in a serious disorder of energy and timing data expected from the pulses. In recent decades and after successful implementation of pile-up rejection methods on analog circuits, considering development and progression in the field of digital, different algorithms based on pileup correction methods have been developed to obtain all spectrum information, whether energy, rise time and recorded pulses. Such methods can be compared in different...

    Influence of Floor Diaphragm on Seismic Response of RC Structures

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Masoumi, Hassan (Author) ; Khaloo, Alireza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Modeling is one of the most important steps in analysis and design of structures. Most of the time behavior of floor diaphragms is assumed completely rigid in their plane in order to simplicity in practical design. Although this assumption leads to acceptable results in analysis and design of conventional buildings, erroneous results may assess in some particular buildings—for instance narrow buildings with stiff end walls. Accordingly, behavior of these buildings in future earthquakes opposes those were predicted in design phase, and they are so vulnerable since in-plane deflection of floor diaphragms are striking which cannot be ignored. This thesis investigates the significance of...

    Abstract
    This study presents the results of failure analysis of a 28 MW gas turbine at the Rei electrical power plant. The gas turbine failed during the shutdown period and near its second natural frequency at 4200 rpm. Initial inspections revealed that the compressor disk of stage 15 was fractured, and all of the stationary and rotary blades of stages 14-18 of the compressor had been detached or broken from the dovetail region of the disks. The fracture roots were investigated by performing finite element modeling and fractography analysis. It was shown that a crack was initiated from the disk edge on its interface with the rotor shaft and was propagated under cyclic loading. As a result of the... 

    Integrating module checking and deduction in a formal proof for the perlman Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

    , Article Journal of Universal Computer Science ; Volume 13, Issue 13 , 2007 , Pages 2076-2104 ; 0958695X (ISSN) Hojjat, H ; Nakhost, H ; Sirjani, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2007
    Abstract
    In the IEEE 802.1D standard for the Media Access Control layer (MAC layer) bridges, there is an STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) definition, based on the algorithm that was proposed by Radia Perlman. In this paper, we give a formal proof for correctness of the STP algorithm by showing that finally a single node is selected as the root of the tree and the loops are eliminated correctly. We use formal inductive reasoning to establish these requirements. In order to ensure that the bridges behave correctly regardless of the topology of the surrounding bridges and LANs, the Rebeca, modular verification techniques are applied. These techniques are shown to be efficiently applicable in model checking... 

    Object-oriented design for system identification and its application in chemical engineering industries

    , Article International Journal of Modelling and Simulation ; Volume 33, Issue 1 , 2013 , Pages 33-39 ; 02286203 (ISSN) Masoumi, S ; Boozarjomehry, R. B ; Sharif University of Technology
    2013
    Abstract
    Application of advanced process control methods in a chemical plant requires a model which represents the transient behaviour of the plant. However, only a few plant-wide identification methods have been proposed for chemical processes. In this paper, an objectoriented process identifier (OPI) framework has been introduced for plant-wide identification to show how using object-oriented design can provide a general plant-wide modelling framework for various systems including chemical processes. The interactions between units are considered in plant-wide identification methods. As a result, the obtained models can predict the system behaviour in new operating conditions better than those... 

    Changing the Sound Horizon in Early Universe to Reconcile the Hubble Tension and Cosmological Large Scale Structure Observations

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Khalaj Masoumi, Yasaman (Author) ; Baghram, Shant (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The Standard Model ΛCDM which includes cold dark matter and cosmological constant components provides a good fit to a large span of cosmological data and large scale structures. Recent results of local measurements of Hubble constant rely on observations of type 1A supernovae have shown 4σ tension comparing H0 to the value inferred from cosmic microwave background observations assuming ΛCDM. The Hubble parameter appears in the cosmic microwave background as one of the standard cosmological model parameters. If these observations are not the result of statistical or systematic error, They could represent new physics beyond the standard ΛCDM cosmological model. The purpose of this thesis is to...

    Abstract
    An optimal preview control of a vehicle suspension system traveling on a rough road is studied. A three-dimensional seven degree-of-freedom car-riding model and several descriptions of the road surface roughness heights, including haversine (hole/bump) and stochastic filtered white noise models, are used in the analysis. It is assumed that contact-less sensors affixed to the vehicle front bumper measure the road surface height at some distances in the front of the car. The suspension systems are optimized with respect to ride comfort and road holding preferences including accelerations of the sprung mass, tire deflection, suspension rattle space and control force. The performance and power...

    Academic Press  2004
    Abstract
    Stochastic optimal control of a vehicle suspension on a random road is studied. The road roughness height is modelled as a filtered white noise stochastic process and a four-degree-of-freedom half-car model is used in the analysis. It is assumed that a sensor is mounted in the front bumper that measures the road irregularity at some distances in the front of the vehicle. Two other sensors also measure relative velocities of the vehicle body with respect to the unsprung masses in the vehicle suspension spaces. All measurements are assumed to be conducted in a noisy environment. The state variables of the vehicle system are estimated using a method similar to the Kalman filter. The suspension...

    Abstract
    combination of smart antenna techniques and OFDM could be considered as a promising solution for improving the performance and enhancing the data rates of next generation wireless communication systems operating in frequency selective fading environments. There are different design parameters which could affect the application of adaptive arrays in OFDM-based systems. Various beam-forming methods in frequency or time domain, different array architectures and various number of array elements are important factors which are able to change the performance and complexity of the system. These parameters may show different effects in different channel conditions. In this paper we implemented a new...

    Abstract
    MD simulations were used for investigation on the kinetic formation of Ni-Pd nanoalloys at different simulation times. We have examined excess energies and bond order parameters for initial gas phase compositions including pure Ni, and Pd, and also Ni0.2Pd0.8, Ni0.4Pd0.6, Ni0.6Pd0.4, Ni0.8Pd0.2 concentrations. Excess energies for created Ni-Pd nanoalloys exhibit more instabilities for larger nanoparticles. Also, bond order results demonstrate amorphous structures for all of created nanoclusters. Moreover, number of formed clusters for pure Ni at 5 ns is more than pure Pd nanoclusters and number of formed clusters decreases when Pd is doped in pure Ni nanocluster. © 2017 Elsevier B.V

    Abstract
    A computer-controlled pilot plant has been constructed to study the dynamical behavior and control of the thermal cracking furnace. The governing equations that describe the furnace dynamics are presented, and, based on these equations and a kinetic model, software that simulates the steady-state behavior of the system has been developed. The furnace is divided into eight zones that can be heated independently, and, therefore, any desired temperature profile can be applied. The variables to be measured are the furnace zone temperature, coil outlet temperature (COT), and product yield. Two different control strategies (namely, COT control and furnace wall temperature control) are applied...

    Abstract
    We propose a compositional approach for the Partial Order Reduction (POR) in the state space generation of asynchronous timed actors. We define the concept of independent actors as the actors that do not send messages to a common actor. The approach avoids exploring unnecessary interleaving of executions of independent actors. It performs on a component-based model where actors from different components, except for the actors on borders, are independent. To alleviate the effect of the cross-border messages, we enforce a delay condition, ensuring that an actor introduces a delay in its execution before sending a message across the border of its component. Within each time unit, our technique...

    Abstract
    An experimental study of wear characteristics of electroless Ni-10% P coating sliding against hard AISI 52100 steel pin is investigated. Experiments are carried out at room and 550°C temperatures. Heat treatment effects on tribological behavior of this coating are studied. The wear surface and the microstructure of the coatings are analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion analysis X-ray, and microhardness testing equipment. It is observed that the forming of continuous oxide film on contacting surfaces of pin and disk improves wear resistance and decreases friction coefficient of the Ni-10% P coating. The results indicate that the wear resistance of...
