    Abstract
    In this study two-dimensional finite element models of Al/SiC metal matrix composites (MMC) by using of ABAQUS Explicit software are investigated. Chip formations and machining forces for three types of MMC with 5, 15 and 20% of SiC reinforcement particles were studied and compared with experimental data. The resulted chips in simulation and the generated chips in experiments have both continuous and saw tooth in appearance. On the other hand, the variation of the cutting forces with the cutting time in simulation and experiment have fluctuating diagram. This is due to the interaction between cutting tool and SiC particles during chip formation. ABAQUS explicit software was used for...

    Abstract
    In the present study, the behavior of fin pile under lateral loading was investigated by ABAQUS software. First, the generated model was verified against an available experimental small-scale test in the literature. Having conducted verification, a study was carried out on the fin pile dimensions under lateral loading. Different parameters, such as pile diameter, fin’s length, and width, were studied. Moreover, a study on the fin’s aspect ratio by setting fin’s area constant was conducted, and then, optimum fin’s ratio was obtained. The results indicated that both fin’s length and width could improve pile efficiency under lateral loading, yet fin’s length had a more critical impact, and...

    Abstract
    Laparoscopic surgery is a Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) procedure which is performed in the abdominal cavity. In this paper, the spleen tissue and a laparoscopic surgical grasper were modeled using ABAQUS software to investigate the tool-tissue interaction, considering large deformations for the spleen tissue. The spleen tissue was modeled as a hyper-elastic material. The laparoscopic grasper includes three gripping jaws that always remain parallel. The sliding can occur between the gripping jaws and the spleen tissue. It was found that the relationship between the pinch forces and push forces keeps its linearity in different values of friction coefficient (0-0.3). The pushing force...

    , Article Smart Materials and Structures ; Volume 25, Issue 8 , 2016 ; 09641726 (ISSN) Mazaheri, H ; Baghani, M ; Naghdabadi, R ; Sohrabpour, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institute of Physics Publishing  2016
    Abstract
    In this work, a model is developed to continuously predict homogeneous and inhomogeneous swelling behavior of pH/temperature sensitive PNIPAM hydrogels. Employing the model, homogeneous swelling of the pH/temperature sensitive hydrogel is investigated for free and biaxial constrained swelling cases. Comparing the model results with the experimental data available in the literature, the validity of the model is confirmed. The model is then employed to investigate inhomogeneous swelling of a spherical shell on a hard core both analytically and numerically for pH or temperature variations. In this regard, numerical tools are developed via preparing a user defined subroutine in ABAQUS software.... 

    Analytical Evaluation and Parametric Study of RBS (Ribbed Bracing System)with Finite Element Method

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Mazaherimeybodi, Forouzandeh (Author) ; Golafshani, Ali Akbar (Supervisor) ; Toufigh, Vahab (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this research, an innovative system, called ribbed bracing system (RBS), proposed to deal with poor performance and deficiency of brace buckling under compression loads. RBS is an additional component added to common brace system which prevents the buckling problem of conventional bracing systems. By applying tensile load, the ribs lock together and the system starts enduring tension. Since the compressive force begins, ribs slide on each other and the system endures only a trivial force. Two kinds of RBS mechanism are introduced: completely-closed RBS (CC-RBS) and self-centering RBS (SC-RBS). In the former mechanism, the length of the brace is reduced by applying compression loads; while...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Hasani, Mojahed (Author) ; Bakhshi, Ali (Supervisor) ; Ghannad, Mohammad Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Statistical studies indicate the fact that in Iran, like many other developing countries, a considerable percentage of houses are in the form of traditional buildings, and major losses due to recent earthquakes are because of masonry building collapse. In the early twentieth century in Iran every ten years a destructive earthquake has been occurred which has resulted in huge human casualties and economic losses. After the Bam 2003 earthquake, a team project was defined to investigate the behavior of rural houses with the aim of providing solutions to lessen seismic hazards, and the current study is the fifth phase of the following line of investigations. Among the existing kinds of rural... 

    Numerical Study of Ground Vibrations due to Pile Driving and Effect of Trench on Reduction of Amplitude of Vibrations

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Khoubani, Ali (Author) ; Ahmadi, Mohammad Mehdi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Ground vibration during pile driving is one the most important factors that limits usage of this kind of piles. It is of great importance to estimate the level of vibration prior to the beginning of pile driving to avoid structural damage or disturbance of building occupants. In this study, an axisymmetric finite element model that utilises an adaptive meshing algorithm has been introduced, using the commercial code ABAQUS, to simulate the full penetration of a pile from the ground surface to the desired depth by applying successive hammer impacts. The model has been verified by comparing the computed particles velocity with those measured in the field. The results indicate that the peak...

    Numerical Simulation of Al-Si Alloy Fatigue Behavior under Thermo-Mechanical and Isothermal Loads

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghodrati Ghalati, Mohammad (Author) ; Farrahi, Gholamhossein (Supervisor) ; Asghari, Mohsen (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    The main purpose in this thesis is the finite element simulation of the stress-strain behavior in an aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy, subjected to low cycle fatigue and thermo-mechanical fatigue loadings. This finite element modeling is performed in the ABAQUS software. Two time-dependent and time-independent models are used to simulate the behavior of the material. The time-independent model is the combined nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening model, which predicts the mean stress relaxation behavior, the cyclic softening or hardening and the translation of the yield surface, while it ignores the effect of the strain rate. Time-dependent models include Johnson-Cook and the two-layer... 

    Effects of Bending on Forming Limit Diagram (FLD)Based on Marciniak & Kuczynski Method

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ehtiati, Saeed (Author) ; Asempour, Ahmad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In designing sheet forming processes, finding out the value of the maximum strain before necking in sheets is extremely important. Therefore, many experimental and theoretical efforts have been carried out in order to answer this question. One of the most well-known and useful theoretical methods in this regard is the Marciniak - Kuczynski method which was introduced in 1967 and is still the topic of many researches. In this model, it is assumed that a groove as a defect primarily exists in the sheet and due to the weakness of this region, necking will initiate. Furthermore, the effects of various parameters such as sensitivity to strain rate, strain path, thickness, three dimensional...

    Dynamic Characteristics Analysis of Drill-String in Deviated Oil Well

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Zoveidanian, Soheil (Author) ; Ghaemi Osgouie, Kambiz (Supervisor) ; Salarieh, Hassan (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Oil field industry is one of the most challenging engineering subjects. In oil well drilling, undesired motion could raise a lot of problems such as stuck pipes; wash out pipe, and etc. In this industry, motion prediction is very important because a good prediction can avoid instruments failure and as a result considerable amount of time could be saved. Predicting dynamic characteristics of drill-string such as whirl orbit, whirl speed, and axial, lateral, and torsional displacements, accelerations, and velocities, might be useful in avoiding or decreasing failures. A program based on FEM (Finite Element Method) is developed in MATLAB considering deviation of drill-string, contacting with...

    Lateral Buckling Analysis of Offshore Pipelines

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Heidari, Hamed (Author) ; Ghoreishi, Reza (Supervisor) ; Abbaspour, Madjid (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    This project deals with the global buckling in high pressure/high temperature (HP/HT) subsea pipelines. Some subsea pipelines are laid directly on the seabed. Large axial forces will generally cause an exposed pipeline to buckle sideways, or laterally, on the seabed. Pipelines may significantly expand during start-up and shutdown cycles, resulting in global buckle formation with high out-of-straightness (OOS).This global buckling behavior may be unacceptable if it is not properly managed. Global buckling mitigation can be achieved by providing controlled lateral movements of pipeline. Buckle mitigation devices are installed along the pipeline to provide buckle initiation sites, there by...

    Study of the Effect of Strip Opening on the Sides of the Steel Plate Shear Wall

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kavei, Sina (Author) ; Khaloo, Alireza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    One of the lateral-load bearing systems that has been recommended since almost 40 years ago is the steel plate shear wall (SPSW) system, which consists of a steel plate surrounded by beams and columns in each story. As for the performance of SPSWs, it is assumed that the boundary members of the wall’s plate, i.e. beams and columns, have sufficient stiffness and strength, so that they would not yield by the tensile stresses exerted due to the post-buckling behavior of the plate (tension field); and the global stability of the structure is still maintained. This assumption leads to significantly increased dimensions of the sections applied in the wall’s boundary members, particularly its...
