Abstract
Functionally graded material shafts are the main part of many modern rotary machines such as turbines and electric motors. The purpose of this study is to present an analytical solution of the elastic-plastic deformation of functionally graded material hollow rotor under a high centrifugal effect and finally determine the maximum allowed angular velocity of a hollow functionally graded material rotating shaft. Introducing non-dimensional parameters, the equilibrium equation has been analytically solved. The results for variable material properties are compared with the homogeneous rotor and the case in which Young’s modulus is the only variable while density and yield stress are considered...

Abstract
Once the path of the vehicle and the desired task of the end-effector are predefined, in order to apply the optimal stability criterion, the manipulator should be redundant. In this paper, the goal is to find the position, angular velocity, and angular acceleration of the redundant link of the manipulator such that the entire system becomes optimally stable. By considering the full dynamic interaction between the manipulator and its vehicle, the stability issue becomes more complex. There are some measures of stability and one of them is the tire's upward force. This measure tries to equalize the upward forces of the tires that lead to optimal stability and better steer-ability. Optimizing...

Investigation of the Influence of Geometry and External Field on Fluid Flow Through Carbon Nanotubes by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Water transportation through carbon nanotubes is key for designing nanodevices. The directed transport of water molecules through a rotating charged carbon nanotube (CNT) is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the net flux of continuous unidirectional water flow depended sensitively on the charge distribution, charge density and rotation of the CNT. we find that for a constant charge density, the water flux increases with the increase of the charge difference. Besides, we find that the water flux shows a nonlinear dependence on the angular velocity of the rotation. The rotation of the CNT with low angular velocities, can not generate a continuous water flux. The...

, Article Scientia Iranica ; Vol. 21, issue. 4 , 2014 , pp. 1390-1402 ; ISSN: 10263098 ; Pishevar, A ; Saidi, M. S ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The smoothed particle hydrodynamics method is used to explore the effects of design parameters on the mixing efficiency of two types of active micromixer. First, the complex flow field and the mixing process of two separated fluids in a square mixing chamber with nine symmetric microstirrers are simulated. The influence of design parameters, such as the microstirrer rotation arrangement and the angular velocity of the microstirrer, on the mixing performance, is investigated. The mixing index parameter on ten control points is calculated and the average mixing index is compared for different cases. Simulations illustrate that the rotation arrangement of microstirrers is a key parameter in the...

Abstract
In the first part of the paper, using a direct calculation two-dimensional motion of a particle sliding on an inclined plane is investigated for general values of friction coefficient (μ). A parametric equation for the trajectory of the particle is also obtained. In the second part of the paper, the motion of a sphere on the inclined plane is studied. It is shown that the evolution equation for the contact point of a sliding sphere is similar to that of a point particle sliding on an inclined plane whose friction coefficient is 7/2 μ. If μ > 2/7 tanθ, for any arbitrary initial velocity and angular velocity, the sphere will roll on the inclined plane after some finite time. In other cases, it...

Transformation of sliding motion to rolling during spheres collision
, Article Granular Matter ; Volume 19, Issue 4 , 2017 ; 14345021 (ISSN) ; Kaviani Rad, H ; Jafari Shad, H ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this research, we have investigated the three-dimensional elastic collision of two balls, based on friction in the tangential plane. Our aim is to offer analytical closed form relations for post collision parameters such as linear and angular velocities, collision time and tangential and normal impulse in three dimensions. To simplify the problem, stick regime is not considered. In other words, balls have a low tangential coefficient of restitution. Sliding, sliding then rolling, and rolling at the beginning of contact are three cases that can occur during impact which have been considered in our research. The normal interaction force is described by the Hertz contact force and...

Abstract
Spining is used in some of solid rocket motors to increase the flight trajectory precision or for stability requirements. The angular acceleration due to the spin increases the burning rate of solid propellant and changes the motor performance by increasing the operating pressure and decreasing the burning time. On the other hand, due to the rocket and its grain rotation, the gases injected from propellant surface to the flow field have an initial angular velocity. The angular velocity of each particle increases as it approaches to the center due to the conservation of angular momentum and a reduction in its radial location, although it vanishes close to the central axis due to viscous...

Abstract
In this paper we have presented a new form of Kane's equations. This new form is expressed in the matrix form with the components of partial derivatives of linear and angular velocities relative to the generalized speeds and generalized coordinates. The number of obtained equations is equal to the number of degrees of freedom represented in a closed form. Also the equations can be rearranged to appear only one of the time derivatives of generalized speeds in each equation. This form is appropriate especially when one intends to derive equations recursively. Hence in addition to the simplicity, the amount of calculations is noticeably reduced and also can be used in a control unit. Copyright...
Reducing the effects of inaccurate fault estimation in spacecraft stabilization
, Article Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management ; Volume 9, Issue 4 , 2017 , Pages 453-460 ; 19849648 (ISSN) ; Alikhani, A ; Fathi Jegarkandi, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Reference Governor is an important component of Active Fault Tolerant Control. One of the main reasons for using Reference Governor is to adjust/modify the reference trajectories to maintain the stability of the post-fault system, especially when a series of actuator faults occur and the faulty system can not retain the pre-fault performance. Fault estimation error and delay are important properties of Fault Detection and Diagnosis and have destructive effects on the performance of the Active Fault Tolerant Control. It is shown that, if the fault estimation provided by the Fault Detection and Diagnosis (initial “fault estimation”) is assumed to be precise (an ideal assumption), the...

Abstract
Finite element method has been implemented to predict stress intensity factors (SIFs) for radial cracks in annular discs under constant angular velocity. Effects of internal and external uniform pressure on the SIFs have also been considered. Linear elastic fracture mechanics finite element analyses have been performed and results are presented in the form of crack configuration factors for a wide range of components and crack geometry parameters. These parameters are chosen to be representative of typical practical situations. The extensive range of crack configuration factors obtained from the analyses is then used to develop equivalent prediction equations via a statistical multiple...

Abstract
Based on the classical Donnell's and Love's shell theories, free vibration behavior of variable-thickness thin cylindrical shells rotating with a constant angular velocity is analyzed. The equations of motion and corresponding boundary conditions of rotating homogenous cylindrical shells with axisymmetric variation of thickness are derived using Hamilton's principle. This formulation includes effects of initial hoop tension due to the centrifugal force as well as Coriolis and centrifugal accelerations. Considering the variation of stiffness coefficients in axial direction, the classical Love's theory results in a coupled system of two second-order and one fourth-order partial differential...

This study aims to present an optimized model of human head after a comprehensive study of the previous models; which includes the brain, skull, and...
Identification and Control of Robot Manipulators using Cell Phone Sensors
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Namvar, Mehrzad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The goal of controlling robot manipulators is to perform the mission intended for its end effector. Model-based control is a solution that can achieve the control goal with high speed and accuracy in the presence or absence of environmental obstacles by using the knowledge of the robot model. In this thesis, the Armtin 5 robot model parameters were identified in two steps. In the first step, the gravity and friction parameters and in the second step, the dynamic parameters were estimated. In the estimation of gravity and friction parameters, the non-linear behavior of friction causes the estimated parameters to be accompanied by a large amount of error. Estimation of the parameters was...

Abstract
In this paper an efficient filtering procedure based on Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) has been proposed. The method is based on a modified nonlinear dynamic model, previously introduced for the generation of synthetic ECG signals. The proposed method considers the angular velocity of ECG signal, as one of the states of an EKF. We have considered two cases for observation equations, in one case we have assumed a corresponding observation to angular velocity state and in the other case, we have not assumed any observations for it. Quantitative evaluation of the proposed algorithm on the MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Database (NSRDB) shows that an average SNR improvement of 8 dB is achieved for an...
