    Abstract
    Buried pipelines as vital arteries,which will play a major role in human life should be designed and implemented in such a way that withstand the least possible harm with regard economic issues.In this study we tried to use a physical model, the impact of pipeline buried in soil slope under dynamic load are examined.To achive this goal we use a rigid metal bax with dimensions of 301.5*101.5*155 cubic meters for modeling. Pipes used in these experiments has a diameter of 1.6 cm which are connected by a fulcrum to the wall box. In order to measure strain generated in the pipe we use a series of strain gauges that were installed using the pipe at some points. Physical models made on Sharif... 

    Coupled effects of suction and degree of saturation on large strain shear modulus of unsaturated sands

    , Article Unsaturated Soils: Research and Applications - Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils, UNSAT 2014 ; Vol. 2, issue , July , 2014 , p. 1559-1564 ; 978-1-138-00150-3 Jafarzadeh, F ; Ahmadinezhad, A ; Sadeghi, H ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Predictions of soil behavior in response to dynamic loads require an understanding of dynamic properties of soil. Studies on dynamic properties of unsaturated soils at large-strains are quite limited, while some dynamic loadings, like earthquakes, are in the medium to large-strain ranges. A cyclic simple shear apparatus was developed to measure large-strain shear modulus and damping ratio under different matric suction or degree of saturation. Six cyclic tests, with referring to the soil-water retention curve, were conducted on clean medium sand. Results indicated that shear modulus slightly increases when suction varies from zero up to the air entry value. Approaching the residual value, a...

    Abstract
    This article investigates the influences of nonuniform imperfection on the dynamic amplitude and resonance frequency of the nanoshell reinforced with graphene nanoplatelet (GNP). The novelty of the current study is to consider the effects of porosity, thermal loading and graphene platelet reinforced composites on the dynamic behavior of the nanostructure. Three-length scale parameters (l0=5 h, l1=3 h, l2=5 h) in the modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) show a better agreement with MD simulation in comparison with other theories. Finally, the effects of different factors on the dynamic amplitude and resonance frequency of the porous nanostructure are examined in detail. © 2019, © 2019...

    Abstract
    On-demand resource provisioning and elasticity are two of the main characteristics of the cloud computing paradigm. As a result, the load on a cloud service provider (CSP) is not fixed and almost always a number of its physical resources are not used, called spare resources. As the CSPs typically don't want to be overprovisioned at any time, they procure physical resources in accordance to a pessimistic forecast of their loads and this leads to a large amount of spare resources most of the time. Some CSPs rent their spare resources with a lower price called the spot price, which varies over time with respect to the market or the internal state of the CSP. In this paper, we assume the spot... 

    Design of bolted joints in pressure vessels by dynamic modelling

    , Article Proceedings of the Eight International Conference on Civil and Structural Engineering Computing, Vienna, 19 September 2001 through 21 September 2001 ; 2001 , Pages 123-124 ; 0948749768 (ISBN) Ghorashi, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The dynamic behavior of a closure bolting system was predicted using a spring-mass-damper model. The loading was assumed to be an initially peaked, exponentially decaying internal pressure pulse acting on the closure. It was observed that optimal pre-stress values that minimized the peak bolt deformation and stress, existed for relatively high levels of applied force and low pre- stress

    , Article Journal of Sound and Vibration ; Volume 330, Issue 20 , 2011 , Pages 4813-4826 ; 0022460X (ISSN) Joghataie, A ; Farrokh, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2011
    Abstract
    A new method, based on the concepts of matrix analysis as well as the learning capabilities of neural networks, for the analysis of nonlinear trusses under dynamic loading is presented. The method can be applied to static trusses too. While there have been attempts in the past to use neural networks to identify and model different structures based on data measured on structural response directly, the main feature and advantage of this new method is in its capability to model a nonlinear truss by assembling the data collected on the response of its members. The basics of the method are: (1) for each truss member, a neural network is trained to learn and simulate its loadresponse behavior, (2)... 

    Enhancing the structural performance of masonry arch bridges with ballast mats

    , Article Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities ; Volume 31, Issue 5 , 2017 ; 08873828 (ISSN) Mohammadzadeh, S ; Miri, A ; Nouri, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    A large portion of the railway bridge stock in many countries is comprised of masonry arch bridges. During recent years, more attention has been paid to the maintenance of such structures. Rehabilitation and retrofitting methods have been proposed to enhance the performance of masonry arch bridges and extend their service life. Because a large portion of forces exerted on such structures comes from the railway track and passing trains, structural elements are added to the track to reduce the forces transmitted to bridges. One such element is the ballast mat, which, according to suppliers, has a positive impact on the structural performance of the track. This paper tries to assess the effects... 

    Effect of size dependency on in-plane vibration of circular micro-rings

    , Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 24, Issue 4 , 2017 , Pages 1996-2008 ; 10263098 (ISSN) Karimzadeh, A ; Ahmadian, M. T ; Rahaeifard, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Sharif University of Technology  2017
    Abstract
    In this paper, based on the modified couple stress theory, the size-dependent dynamic behavior of circular rings on elastic foundation is investigated. The ring is modeled by Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories, and Hamilton's principle is utilized to derive the equations of motion and boundary conditions. The formulation derived is a general form of the equation of motion of circular rings and can be reduced to the classical form by eliminating the size-dependent terms. On this basis, the size-dependent natural frequencies of a circular ring are calculated based on the non-classical Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories. The findings are compared with classical beam...

    Abstract
    This article investigates the influence of porosity on free and forced vibration characteristics of a nanoshell reinforced by graphene platelets (GPL). The material properties of piece-wise graphene-reinforced composites (GPLRCs) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction of a cylindrical nanoshell and estimated using a nanomechanical model. In addition, because of imperfection of the current structure, three kinds of porosity distributions are considered. The nanostructure is modeled using modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) which is a size-dependent theory with three length scale parameters. The novelty of the current study is to consider the effects of porosity, GPLRC and MSGT...

    Abstract
    Bridge behavior under passing traffic loads has been studied for the past 50 years. This paper presents how to model congestion on bridges and how the maximum dynamic stress of bridges change during the passing of moving vehicles. Most current research is based on mid-span dynamic effects due to traffic load and most bridge codes define a factor called the dynamic load allowance (DLA), which is applied to the maximum static moment under static loading. This paper presents an algorithm to solve the governing equation of the bridge as well as the equations of motions of two real European trucks with different speeds, simultaneously. It will be shown, considering congestion in eight case... 

    Optimum Design Of Wave Mitigating Multi phase FGMs

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Zanjirzani, Hadi (Author) ; Tvakkoli, Roohollah (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are categorized in a branch of composite materials in which the local volume fraction of contributing phases are not fixed throughout the spatial domain, but vary gradually as a function of position. This spatial variation leads to the gradual variation of physical and mechanical properties inside the materials. It provides us the opportunity of designing multiple purpose materials by the variation of local volume fractions according to our goal. The optimal distribution of local volume fractions is a function of the spatial domain geometry and loading conditions, and in general situations, due to the complexity of the problem, it is not possible to...
