    Modeling and Prediction Mechanical Properties Foam Graphene Based on Numerical Method

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Riazi, Ardalan (Author) ; Adib Nazari, Saeed (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Purpose of these investigations is modeling and prediction of foam graphene like linear elastic modules and density of that material. In this modeling with two numerical method molecular dynamics and finite element method is used in that with multiscale method various numerical method match together. At the beginning of the modeling various image of foam graphene in Nano abd meso scale in the case of size and scale survaied till with this checking, scale of the work and varios of modeling was created and with this modeling linear elastic modules and density were estimation  

    Pore-scale Simulation of Flow around a Micro-porous Square Cylinder, Using Hybrid LBM-FVM, Considering Slip Condition Inside Porous Media

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rostamzadeh, Hadi (Author) ; Tayyebi Rahni, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In recent years, application of porous media is highlighted among researchers due to their wider use in micro-scale problems, such as in gas reservoirs, micro-filtering, and heat exchangers. In such applications, accurate description of flow behavior, using governing equations based on continuum assumption, is not valid, since mean free path has the same order as the characteristic length of the problem. In such cases, imposing appropriate slip condition on the fluid-solid interface of porous media (in pore-scale level), based on kinetics theory, is an appropriate approach. For this purpose, pore-scale simulation of flow inside porous media in slippery and transient regimes is carried out... 

    Hierarchical Multi-scale Analysis using Nonlinear Finite Element & its Application to Porous Media

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Asgharzadeh, Mohammad Ali (Author) ; Naghdabadi, Reza (Supervisor) ; Sohrabpour, Saeed (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Porous materials, with diverse applications in engineering branches, are categorized as multi-scale. A multi-scale material is one which shows different structure and/or behavior in two or more different length scales. There are physical models which can calculate the macroscopic properties of such materials by using both the properties and volume fractions of the ingredients. However, the number of such theories which can handle problems in the fields of elasticity and hydrodynamics is much less; the fields in which the tensor orders of the properties are more than one. Fortunately, in recent years, a new method named "Computational Multi-scale Homogenization" has been offered to homogenize... 

    Compressive modulus and deformation mechanisms of 3DG foams: Experimental investigation and multiscale modeling

    , Article Nanotechnology ; Volume 32, Issue 48 , 2021 ; 09574484 (ISSN) Mahdavi, S. M ; Adibnazari, S ; Del Monte, F ; Gutiérrez, M. C ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Due to the wide applications of three-dimensional graphene (3DG) foam in bio-sensors, stretchable electronics, and conductive polymer composites, predicting its mechanical behavior is of paramount importance. In this paper, a novel multiscale finite element model is proposed to predict the compressive modulus of 3DG foams with various densities. It considers the effects of pore size and structure and the thickness of graphene walls on 3DG foams' overall behavior. According to the scanning electron microscope images, a unit cell is selected in the microscale step to represent the incidental arrangement of graphene sheets in 3DG foams. After derivation of equivalent elastic constants of the... 

    Fully coupled hydromechanical multiscale model with microdynamic effects

    , Article International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering ; Volume 115, Issue 3 , 2018 , Pages 293-327 ; 00295981 (ISSN) Khoei, A. R ; Hajiabadi, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology
    John Wiley and Sons Ltd  2018
    Abstract
    In this paper, a multiscale finite element framework is developed based on the first-order homogenization method for fully coupled saturated porous media using an extension of the Hill-Mandel theory in the presence of microdynamic effects. The multiscale method is employed for the consolidation problem of a 2-dimensional saturated soil medium generated from the periodic arrangement of circular particles embedded in a square matrix, which is compared with the direct numerical simulation method. The effects of various issues, including the boundary conditions, size effects, particle arrangements, and the integral domain constraints for the microscale boundary value problem, are numerically...
