    Ambient Vibrations Effect on Sensitive Equipment Using Passive and Active Control Method

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Yavari Foroushani , Ali (Author) ; Bakhshi, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Today, with improvements in industries such as the sensitive equipment’ industries and the optics industries which need great precision for their optimum performance, the need for a vibration-free environment is felt more than ever. The main objective in this thesis is the effective reduction of the effects of ambient vibrations on points on an optical concrete table using active control. In this research, other than separating the table with the passive method, the reduction of vibrations with active control and the LQR algorithm is investigated. In order to study the dynamic characteristics of the table and to observe the active control process better and more carefully, finite element... 

    Frequency domain identification of the Nomoto model to facilitate Kalman filter estimation and PID heading control of a patrol vessel

    Abstract
    This paper presents a detailed frequency-domain system identification method applied to identify steering dynamics of a coastal patrol vessel using a data analysis software called CIFER. Advanced features such as the Chirp-Z transform and composite window optimization are used to extract high quality frequency responses. An accurate, robust and linear transfer function model is derived for yaw and roll dynamics of the vessel. To evaluate the accuracy of the identified model, time domain responses from a 45-45 zig-zag test are compared with the responses predicted by the identified model. The identified model shows excellent predictive capability and is well suited for simulation and... 

    Characterization of three-phase flow in porous media using the ensemble Kalman filter

    Abstract
    In this study, the ensemble Kalman filter is used to characterize threephase flow in porous media through simultaneous estimation of three-phase relative permeabilities and capillary pressures from production data. Power-law models of relative permeability and capillary pressure curves are used and the associated unknown parameters are estimated by assimilating the measured historical data. The estimation procedure is demonstrated on a twin numerical setup with two different scenarios, in which a synthetic 2D reservoir under three-phase flow is considered. In the first scenario, all the endpoints are assumed to be known and only the shape factors are estimated during the assimilation...
