, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Mokhtari, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
This dissertation is concened with the stability analysis and improvement in active power distribution grids. In active power grids, voltage stability challenges may occur due to the dynamic interactions among power electronic converters. In this research, power electronic converters are modeled in canonical form to investigate the effect of control loops on their impedance characteristics. The concept of dynamic interaction is explained from the impedance pint of view, which is the base of the stability criteria and imopedance coordinatioan. The concept of passivity is also explained and combined with the dynamic interaction to detect unstable modes from the DC bus impedance (Zbus)...

Abstract
Introduction of large amounts of new wind generation can affect the small signal stability of power systems with three mechanisms: displacing synchronous generators (SGs); reducing SGs power generation; and the dynamics of wind farms (WFs) interacting with the electromechanical mode of SGs. In this paper a novel approach is developed to investigate the impact of the latter mechanism on existing power systems oscillations. In this approach, the dynamic behavior of grid connected WFs is studied independent of the dynamic behavior of system SGs. This approach helps to identify the conditions in which the dynamics of WFs may interact with the electromechanical mode of SGs. Also it helps to...

Abstract
A theoretical formulation is presented for the determination of the dynamic interaction of a horizontally loaded inextensible circular membrane embedded at the interface of a transversely isotropic bi-material full-space, using cylindrical co-ordinate system and applying Hankel integral transforms in the radial direction and Fourier series, the problem will be changed to a system of four separate integral equations, which, in turn, are reduced to a pair of Fredholm equations of the second kind that are amenable to numerical treatments. The impedance functions have been evaluated in dynamic case, which can be directly used in soil-structure-interaction and engineering problems. It is shown...

Abstract
Today, turbomachinery designers are trying to attain zero clearances for optimizing performance and efficiency of machine by designing advanced compliant-segmented seals. This trend involves secondary issues such as rotor-to-stator contact interaction which is to be treated with more technical knowledge in rotordynamic design and condition monitoring programs. The aim of this paper is to gain insight into dynamic interaction between a flexible rotor and a set of compliant arc-shaped segments as stator system. Specifically, the unbalanced-induced forward rubbing response is investigated in tight clearance condition during resonance-passing situations. A Jeffcott rotor modeling is used for...

Abstract
Nanofluids - dispersions of nanometer-sized particles in a liquid medium - have been proposed for a wide variety of thermal management applications. It is known that a solid-like nanolayer of liquid of typical thicknesses of 0.5-1 nm surrounding the colloidal nanoparticles can act as a thermal bridge between the nanoparticle and the bulk liquid. Yet, its effect on the nanofluid viscosity has not been elucidated so far. In this article, we compute the local viscosity of the nanolayer using equilibrium molecular dynamics based on the Green-Kubo formula. We first assess the validity of the method to predict the viscosity locally. We apply this methodology to the calculation of the local...

Abstract
Tipover issue is an important problem in autonomous mobile manipulators. This issue is becoming more important in new generation of mobile robots where their size and weight are reduced, and they are designed to work on uneven terrains with higher speeds. Estimating the distance from the tipover stability margin would enhance the capability of the mobile manipulators in correcting their motion. For a valid estimation of the tipover margin one must take into account the full dynamic interaction between the vehicle and its manipulator. In mobile manipulators with several degrees of freedom a huge amount of time is needed to solve equations of motion while real-time tipover control needs a fast...

Abstract
This paper presents the dynamic response of a delaminated composite beam under the action of a moving oscillating mass. In this analysis the Poisson's effect is considered for the first time. Moreover, the effects of rotary inertia and shear deformation are incorporated. In our modeling linear springs are used between delaminated surfaces to simulate the dynamic interaction between sub-beams. To solve the governing differential equations of motion using modal expansion series, eigen-solution technique is used to obtain the natural frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes necessary for forced vibration analysis. The obtained results for the free and forced vibrations of beams are...

Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can be promising delivery nanodevices for a diverse range of applications, however, little is known about their dynamical interactions with moving nanoscale particles. In this paper, dynamic response of a SWCNT subjected to a moving nanoparticle is examined in the framework of the nonlocal continuum theory of Eringen. The inertial effects of the moving nanoparticle and the existing friction between the nanoparticle surface and the inner surface of the SWCNT are incorporated in the formulation of the problem. The equivalent continuum structure associated with the SWCNT is considered and modeled using nonlocal Rayleigh beam theory under simply supported...

Abstract
The stability issue of mobile manipulators, particularly when the end-effector and the vehicle have to follow a predefined trajectory (for some special duties like painting a plane or carrying a light load), is a crucial subject and needs special attention. In this paper, by utilizing the manipulator compensation motions, the instantaneous proper configuration for a redundant mobile robot is determined. A fast methodology taking into account the dynamic interaction between the manipulator and the vehicle is proposed for enhancing the tipover stability (i.e. stability against overturning) of the mobile manipulator by employing the soft computing approach including a genetic algorithm, neural...
