    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shaker Ardakani, Morteza (Author) ; Asgari, Sirous (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Many Investigations have been carried out on high work hardening, strengthening and secondary hardening of MP35N superalloy. In this study, behavior of MP35N under uniaxial hot compression at 600 °C with true strain of 0.05, 0.10, 0.16 and 0.22 was investigated. After calculating on stress- true strain curve, work hardening rate versus strain come out. Serrated flow has been seen in all mentioned strains. In TEM investigation on these samples, dislocations array with extended faults and micro twinning have been seen. According to Suzuki mechanism with solute partitioning and diffusion of solute, stacking fault extended. Uninterrupted separations and combinations of partial dislocations lead... 

    Reliability modeling of dynamic thermal rating

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery ; Vol. 28, issue. 3 , 2013 , p. 1600-1609 ; ISSN: 8858977 Shaker, H ; Zareipour, H ; Fotuhi-Firuzabad, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2013
    Abstract
    In this paper, a Markov model for reliability analysis of transmission lines equipped with a dynamic thermal rating (DTR) system is proposed. Moreover, a fuzzy procedure is proposed to determine an annual equivalent fuzzy DTR number to represent hourly variations of the line DTR. To implement the fuzzy annual DTR in composite system reliability analysis, an interactive method resolution technique for solving fuzzy optimization problems is developed. This method is chosen to address the fuzzy constraints associated with the lines equipped with the DTR system. Numerical results are presented using the 24-bus IEEE RTS, and demonstrate the validity of the proposed approaches  

    Fuzzy dynamic thermal rating of transmission lines

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery ; Volume 27, Issue 4 , 2012 , Pages 1885-1892 ; 08858977 (ISSN) Shaker, H ; Fotuhi Firuzabad, M ; Aminifar, F ; Sharif University of Technology
    2012
    Abstract
    Dynamic thermal rating (DTR) of transmission system facilities is a way to maximally realize the equipment capacities while not threatening their health. With regards to transmission lines, the allowable current of conductors is forecasted based on the environmental situations expected in some forthcoming time periods. Due to the fact that weather conditions continuously vary, sampling points are very limited against many line spans, and the measurements have an inherent error, uncertainties must be appropriately included in the DTR determination. This paper adopts the fuzzy theory as a strong and simple tool to model uncertainties in the DTR calculation. Since DTR intends to determine the...

    Low loaded MoS2/Carbon cloth as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction

    , Article International Journal of Hydrogen Energy ; 2021 ; 03603199 (ISSN) Shaker, T ; Mehdipour, H ; Moshfegh, A. Z ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Ltd  2021
    Abstract
    Active edge sites of MoS2 nanosheets exhibit promising futures for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), comparable with remarkable performances of highly cost platinum. However, 3D structures of MoS2 suffer from a lack of high mobility and unexposed active sites which lower the electrocatalytic activity. In this study, we show that there is a balance between increasing the active sites on the one hand and managing the charge transfer to facilitate the reaction on the other hand, and achieving this balance increases the efficiency of the electrocatalyst tremendously. For this purpose, we directly attached exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets onto carbon cloth (CC) substrate as a 3D network of conductive...

    Robust Wiener filter-based time gating method for detection of shallowly buried objects

    , Article IET Signal Processing ; 2021 ; 17519675 (ISSN) Gharamohammadi, A ; Behnia, F ; Shokouhmand, A ; Shaker, G ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institution of Engineering and Technology  2021
    Abstract
    A robust method for ultra-wideband (UWB) imaging of buried shallow objects based on time gating, Wiener filtering, as well as constant false alarm rate (CFAR) is proposed. Moreover, it is demonstrated that Wiener filtering can be used as a clutter removal tool in UWB signal applications. Basically, the problem with time gating method is that the length of the timing window for unknown targets cannot be determined accurately in advance. In fact, it is a blind methodology and some targets can be missed due to a lack of pre-knowledge about their depth. Imprecise window length selection leads to missing some parts of the target signals along with the clutter, which in turn increases the missed...

    Overhead Line Dynamic Thermal Rating Using Fuzzy Method and its Effect on Power System Reliability

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shaker Ardakani, Hamid (Author) ; Fotuhi Firuzabad, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In recent years, because of power system restructuring and load growth, much of transmission lines are reaching to their maximum capacity. Therefore, it is so essential to upgrade existing transmission system. However, constructing new lines is a very expensive and time consuming method. Dynamic thermal rating of overhead line is an alternative solution for upgrading transmission system capacity. In this method, allowable current capability of line in the next duration is calculated according to the environmental conditions. A method should be developed to perfectly model these environmental changes. Fuzzy method is a powerful tool that models uncertainties and measurement errors in a simple...

    Behavioral Modeling and Homogenizing of Materials Containing Rough Crack

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shaker Ardakani, Kamal (Author) ; Mofid, Masoud (Supervisor) ; Khezrzadeh, Hamed (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    The present paper proposes a micromechanical damage model for two and three dimensional Representative Volume Element (RVE) with randomly distributed cohesive rough slit-like and penny-shaped micro cracks (Barenblatt-Dugdale type). First, the influence of crack roughness on the crack opening under macro hydrostatic stress state is studied and then the energy release contribution to material damage process is estimated. Considering the fractality of the crack trajectories yields to lower values of the volume crack opening. This will result in lower energy release rate in RVE and higher levels of material resistance. Based on the energy release rate of RVE, the effective material properties...

    Abstract
    Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered one of the most efficient orthopedic operations. Patients with symptomatic hip osteoarthritis, hip osteonecrosis, congenital hip dysplasia, inflammatory arthritis, and femoral head fracture can benefit from THA through pain relief and functional restoration. Various articles have analyzed acoustic features during broaching and stem insertion. Still, they could not provide a conclusive and clinically usable approach to ensure the success of the surgery. In this study, we aimed to investigate sound characteristics with a musical approach using a chromatic tuner. Surgeries were performed by two experienced orthopedic hip fellowship surgeons via the...

    Abstract
    We theoretically study a Kitaev chain with a quasiperiodic potential, where the quasiperiodicity is introduced by a Fibonacci sequence. Based on an analysis of the Majorana zero-energy mode, we find the critical p-wave superconducting pairing potential separating a topological phase and a non-topological phase. The topological phase diagram with respect to Fibonacci potentials follow a self-similar fractal structure characterized by the box-counting dimension, which is an example of the interplay of fractal and topology like the Hofstadter's butterfly in quantum Hall insulators. © 2017 The Physical Society of Japan

    Abstract
    Transferring large models in federated learning (FL) networks is often hindered by clients' limited bandwidth. We propose $ extsf {FedAA}$ , an FL algorithm which achieves fast convergence by exploiting the regularized Anderson acceleration (AA) on the global level. First, we demonstrate that FL can benefit from acceleration methods in numerical analysis. Second, $ extsf {FedAA}$ improves the convergence rate for quadratic losses and improves the empirical performance for smooth and strongly convex objectives, compared to FedAvg, an FL algorithm using gradient descent (GD) local updates. Experimental results demonstrate that employing AA can significantly improve the performance of FedAvg,...

    Abstract
    Natural convection in a porous enclosure in the presence of thermal dispersion is investigated. The Fourier–Galerkin (FG) spectral element method is adapted to solve the coupled equations of Darcy’s flow and heat transfer with a full velocity-dependent dispersion tensor, employing the stream function formulation. A sound implementation of the FG method is developed to obtain accurate solutions within affordable computational costs. In the spectral space, the stream function is expressed analytically in terms of temperature, and the spectral system is solved using temperature as the primary unknown. The FG method is compared to finite element solutions obtained using an in-house code... 

    A probabilistic artificial neural network-based procedure for variance change point estimation

    , Article Soft Computing ; Vol. 19, issue. 3 , May , 2014 , pp. 691-700 ; ISSN: 14327643 Amiri, A ; Niaki, S. T. A ; Moghadam, A. T ; Sharif University of Technology
    2014
    Abstract
    Control charts are useful tools of monitoring quality characteristics. One of the problems of employing a control chart is that the time it alarms is not synchronic with the time when assignable cause manifests itself in the process. This makes difficult to search and find assignable causes. Knowing the real time of manifestation of assignable cause (change point) helps to find assignable cause(s) sooner and eases corrective actions to be taken. In this paper, a probabilistic neural network (PNN)-based procedure was developed to estimate the variance change point of a normally distributed quality characteristic. The PNN was selected based on trial and error among different types of... 

    Two studies of framework-usage templates extracted from dynamic traces

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering ; Volume 38, Issue 6 , 2012 , Pages 1464-1487 ; 00985589 (ISSN) Heydarnoori, A ; Czarnecki, K ; Binder, W ; Bartolomei, T. T ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Object-oriented frameworks are widely used to develop new applications. They provide reusable concepts that are instantiated in application code through potentially complex implementation steps such as subclassing, implementing interfaces, and calling framework operations. Unfortunately, many modern frameworks are difficult to use because of their large and complex APIs and frequently incomplete user documentation. To cope with these problems, developers often use existing framework applications as a guide. However, locating concept implementations in those sample applications is typically challenging due to code tangling and scattering. To address this challenge, we introduce the notion of... 

    On the throughput and outage probability of multi-relay networks with imperfect power amplifiers

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications ; Volume 14, Issue 9 , May , 2015 , Pages 4994-5008 ; 15361276 (ISSN) Makki, B ; Svensson, T ; Eriksson, T ; Nasiri Kenari, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This paper studies the energy-limited performance of multi-relay networks. Taking the properties of the power amplifiers (PAs) into account, we derive closed-form expressions for the optimal power allocation, the outage probability and the throughput in the cases with a sum consumed energy constraint. Moreover, we analyze the diversity and the multiplexing gains of the PA-aware systems. Finally, we investigate the performance of large-scale multi-relay networks and develop efficient multi-relay systems with low cooperation overhead. The numerical and the analytical results show that the inefficiency of the PAs affects the outage probability and the throughput of the multi-relay systems...

    Abstract
    Rapid assessment of structural safety and performance right after the occurrence of significant earthquake shaking is crucial for building owners and decision-makers to make informed risk management decisions. Hence, it is vital to develop online and pseudo-online health monitoring methods to quantify the health of the building right after significant earthquake shaking. Many Bayesian inference–based methods have been developed in the past which allow the users to estimate the unknown states and parameters. However, one of the most challenging part of the Bayesian inference–based methods is the determination of the parameter noise covariance matrix. It is especially difficult when the number...
