    Abstract
    Hollow Spherical Structures such as spherical pressure vessels are widely used in industries. Using faster numerical methods to solve these spherical problems has been one of the research interests in the last decade. Super elements are elements capable of producing the same accurate result in comparison with several conventional elements. In this paper, a new spherical super element is designed and implemented to study the static deformation and modal analysis of a spherical structure. In the static analysis mean of the inner radial displacements of the hollow structure under the internal pressure is evaluated. also performing the modal analysis, natural frequencies of the structure under... 

    Three-dimensional Graphene Electrode for Depleted-hetreojunction Quantum Dot Solar Cells

    , Article Procedia Engineering, 28 June 2015 through 3 July 2015 ; Volume 141 , 2016 , Pages 38-46 ; 18777058 (ISSN) Tavakoli, M. M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Herein, a simple and novel method was used to synthesize a new structure of graphene which can be called hollow graphene. First, the ZnO-Graphene QDs synthesized by solution method and then ZnO QDs were dissolved from this structure using an acidic solution to obtain hollow structure of graphene. Afterward, this structure was used in PbS QDs solar cell in order to improve the transport of electron and decrease the recombination of the carriers. A power conversion efficiency of 5.3% was obtained using hollow graphene as a fast electron extraction layer due to the enhancement of EQE and current density. The improvement of PCE in this device was corresponded to efficient photosensitized... 

    Three-dimensional elasticity analysis of functionally graded rotating cylinders with variable thickness profile

    , Article Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science ; Volume 226, Issue 3 , 2012 , Pages 585-594 ; 09544062 (ISSN) Ghafoori, E ; Asghari, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    A three-dimensional elasticity solution for the analysis of functionally graded rotating cylinders with variable thickness profile is proposed. The axisymmetric structure has been divided in several divisions in the radial direction. Constant mechanical properties and thickness profile are assumed within each division. The solution is considered for four different thickness profiles, namely constant, linear, concave, and convex. It is shown that the linear, concave, and convex thickness profiles have smaller stress values compared to a constant thickness profile. The effects of various grading indices as well as different boundary conditions, namely solid, free-free hollow and fixed-free...
