Dynamic Characteristics Analysis of Drill-String in Deviated Oil Well
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghaemi Osgouie, Kambiz (Supervisor) ; Salarieh, Hassan (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Oil field industry is one of the most challenging engineering subjects. In oil well drilling, undesired motion could raise a lot of problems such as stuck pipes; wash out pipe, and etc. In this industry, motion prediction is very important because a good prediction can avoid instruments failure and as a result considerable amount of time could be saved. Predicting dynamic characteristics of drill-string such as whirl orbit, whirl speed, and axial, lateral, and torsional displacements, accelerations, and velocities, might be useful in avoiding or decreasing failures. A program based on FEM (Finite Element Method) is developed in MATLAB considering deviation of drill-string, contacting with...

Abstract
In the modern world, steganography is an image processing technique, revealing to be a suitable process for information hiding. In most cases, steganography has shown to be more effective than cryptography techniques. Recently, there have been attempts to improve the stego-image quality and hiding capacity by introducing new methods. Here, we inspect the advantages and disadvantages of some new steganography methods for digital images. The implemented methods are color and grayscale image steganography with OPVSP algorithm, BRL and GRL methods, and the simple LSB method with OPAP algorithm. Here, we compare the implementation results of these methods using MATLAB 7.4.0, with other common...

In a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar unlike conventional phased array radar, we can choose freely between the probing signals transmitted via its antennas to maximize the transmitted power around specific target locations or to approximate a desire beam-pattern in different manners that many papers have taken into consideration so far. In an operational radar or communication environment, one of the usual phenomenon that happens is multipath. In this paper we'd like to take this effect into consideration and show that how this effect can influence our beam-pattern in a covariance based MIMO radar beam-forming. We will show that multipath can change beam-pattern peak direction,...

Abstract
Distribution companies attempt to present better services, while reducing investment costs, by promoting consumers' participation in demand response programs. They increase the rate of consumers' participation in demand response programs by taking advantage of reward and punishment policies. Increasing consumers' participation in demand response programs is justifiable when it does not have negative impacts on network technical parameters nor decrease the electricity sale rate. Therefore, it seems necessary to determine the maximum level of consumers' optimal participation in implementation of demand response programs. In this article, a new model is presented based on distribution...

Aerothermodynamically Re-Design of an Air-Cool Heat Exchanger Fin Configuration Utilized for Cooling the Lubricating Oil of a Gas Turbine Unit Benefiting from Numerical Simulation
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Darbandi, Masoud (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
The lubricating oil is commonly used to cool down the moving parts of turbine gas systems. In many applications, this oil is cooled down using a recirculating water circuit. The water is then cooled down using an air-cooled heat exchanger. Any deficiency in aerothermodynamic design of such heat exchanger would result in high temperature of gas turbine moving parts such as bearings. Obviously, this mal-performance has adverse effect on the lifetime of these parts and their maintanence aspects. Since the good performance of air-cooled heat exchanger has numerous advantages for the performance of related gas turbine unit, it is mandatory to design these heat exchangers in minimum sizes and...

In this paper the predictive equations for collapse assessment of shear links used in eccentric braced frames are developed. An extensive database including results of over 70 cyclic tests on steel wide flange shear links is collected and the structural parameters governing the hysteresis behavior are calibrated using a simplified numerical model. The methodology of calibration is to minimize the discrepancy between the experimental hysteresis loops and the corresponding numerical results using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The objective function of PSO algorithm is minimized by iterating parameters that govern the hysteresis behavior of the numerical model. Stepwise...
Dynamic Modeling of Ship Motion in Acceleration Maneuver
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Seif, Mohammad Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
The study of maneuverability is very important in ship design. In the early stages of design, ship maneuvering is predicted with the help of mathematical models. The mathematical models used to simulate the maneuverability are relatively fast, but in this method, it is not possible to examine the exact details of the flow and the interaction between the hull and the propeller and rudder. Studying ship maneuvers in an experimental method is very accurate but also involves high costs. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the use of computers and numerical methods has led to a good and accurate prediction of the ship's behavior during maneuverability. In this study, acceleration...

Abstract
Islanding detection methods are divided into three main groups as remote, active and passive. Although passive schemes have larger Non Detection Zones (NDZ) relative to other schemes, they are more used in utilities due to their low costs and less PQ problems than other schemes. Passive Schemes are based on the measurements of passive system parameters. These parameters are measured at the point of common coupling (PCC). A new approach in passive techniques is the use of data-mining to classify the system parameters. In this paper, massive indices are collected by simulation of a practical distribution system in PSCAD/EMTP environment. These indices include voltage, frequency, current,...
