    Axisymmetric Response of a Transversely Isotropic Half-space Stiffened by a Thin Plate Considering Refined Interaction Theory

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shanesaz Zadeh, Pouya (Author) ; Eskandari, Morteza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this paper, the elastic response of a surface-stiffened transversely isotropic half-space subjected to a surface normal load is addressed. The half-space is reinforced by a Kirchhoff thin plate bonded to its surface. Two different boundary conditions are considered across the plate-half-space interface: (i) the classic approach in which the plate in-plane deformation is neglected by writing the interfacial boundary conditions across the plate mid-plane, and (ii) the refined approach that considers the in-plane deformation of plate due to bending by writing the boundary conditions across the bottom face of plate. By virtue of appropriate displacement potentials, the complete set of elastic...

    Abstract
    Nowadays, two-dimensional materials due to their vast engineering and biomedical applications have been the focus of many researches. The present paper proposes a large-deformation theory for thin plates with application to one-atom-thick layers (OATLs). The deformation is formulated exactly in the mathematical framework of Lagrangian description. In particular, an exact finite strain analysis is given - in addition to the usual strain tensor associated to the middle surface, the second and third fundamental forms of the middle surface of the deformed thin plate are also maintained in the analysis. Exact closed-form solutions for a uniaxially curved thin plate due to pure bending in one case...

    MR Image Registration under Variant Illumination

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shirpour, Mohsen (Author) ; Manzouri, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Image registration is defined as matching two or more than two images which are taken from a same scene in different times, from various views and using different sensors. By matching, we mean finding the transformation function between the images. Image registration
    has many application in medical domains such as analyzing changes in body limbs, supervision of the tumors growth, and robotic surgery. The challenges of image registration are unavailability of the transformation function, existence of the outliers in the images, changes in the images intensity, changes in the image geometry, noise, etc. Image registration consists of four steps: (i) feature extraction, (ii) choosing a... 

    Investigation of Dynamic Behavior of Nonlinear Plates Subjected to a Moving Mass

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Enshaeian, Alireza (Author) ; Rahimzadeh Rofooei, Fayyaz (Supervisor) ; Nikkhoo, Ali (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    In this study, effect of a single concentrated moving mass on thin linear and nonlinear rectangular plates is investigated. The present research focuses on the dynamic behavior of thin plates traversed by a moving mass. Although vast amount of literature is available regarding the modeling of plates with geometric and material nonlinearity as well as evaluation of the inertial components of the external moving mass, but actually no one has addressed implementation of dynamic effects of moving mass for a nonlinear plate. Due to scientific significance of inertial effects in most cases, the external dynamic loading is considered as a moving mass. However, moving force loading is also taken... 

    Numerical Analysis of External Post-Tensioned Concrete Slabs

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sadiri Abolhassani, Ramin (Author) ; Eskandari , Morteza (Supervisor) ; Kazemi, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this research a new type of external post-tensioned concrete slab is proposed. In this system, the tension force of cables is used as upward force acting at the bottom face of slab. To achieve this behavior, two short concrete columns mounted at the bottom face of slab and act as the middle supports for the cables. Based on the cable force and its angle, an upward force is applied to the slab at the location of columns. In fact, a truss structure comprising of the concrete slab as compression cords, cables as tension cords, and columns as ties. By virtue of Kirchhoff’s plate theory, an analytical treatment of the slab under gravity loads is addressed. For analytical study, it is assumed...

    Abstract
    Background: In nuclear medicine application often it is required to use computational methods for evaluation of organ absorbed dose. Monte Carlo simulation and phantoms have been used in many works before. The shape, size and volume in organs are varied, and this variation will produce error in dose calculation if no correction is applied. Materials and Methods: A computational framework for constructing individual phantom for dosimetry was performed on five liver CT scan data sets of Japanese normal individuals. The Zubal phantom was used as an original phantom to be adjusted by each individual data set. This registration was done by Spherical Harmonics (SH) and Thin-Plate Spline methods....

    Abstract
    The governing differential equation of motion for an undamped thin rectangular plate with a number of bonded piezoelectric patches on its surface and arbitrary boundary conditions is derived using Hamilton's principle. A moving mass traveling on an arbitrary trajectory acts as an external excitation for the system. The effect of the moving mass inertia is considered using all the out-of-plane translational acceleration components. The method of eigenfunction expansion is used to transform the equation of motion into a number of coupled ordinary differential equations. A classical closed-loop optimal control algorithm is employed to suppress the dynamic response of the system, determining the...

    The governing differential equation of motion for an undamped thin rectangular plate with a number of bonded piezoelectric patches on its surface, and arbitrary boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton's principle. A moving mass traveling on an arbitrary trajectory acts as an external excitation for the system. The effect of moving mass inertia is considered using all the out-of-plane translational acceleration components. The method of eigenfunction expansion is used to decouple the equation of motion into a number of coupled ordinary differential equations. A classical closed loop optimal control algorithm is employed to suppress the dynamic response of the system by determining the... 

    Green's functions of a surface-stiffened transversely isotropic half-space

    , Article International Journal of Solids and Structures ; Volume 49, Issue 23-24 , 2012 , Pages 3282-3290 ; 00207683 (ISSN) Eskandari, M ; Ahmadi, S. F ; Sharif University of Technology
    2012
    Abstract
    Green's functions of a transversely isotropic half-space overlaid by a thin coating layer are analytically obtained. The surface coating is modeled by a Kirchhoff thin plate perfectly bonded to the half-space. With the aid of superposition technique and employing appropriate displacement potential functions, the Green's functions are expressed in two parts; (i) a closed-form part corresponding to the transversely isotropic half-space with surface kinematic constraints, and (ii) a numerically evaluated part reflecting the interaction between the half-space and the plate in the form of semi-infinite integrals. Some limiting cases of the problem such as surface-stiffened isotropic half-space,...

    Abstract
    In this paper, the vibration of a moderately thick plate to a moving mass is investigated. Pasternak foundation with a variable subgrade modulus is considered to tackle the shortcomings of Winkler model, and an analytical-numerical solution is proposed based on the eigenfunction expansion method. Parametric studies by using both CPT (Classical Plate Theory) and FSDT (First-Order Shear Deformation Plate Theory) are carried out, and, the differences between them are also highlighted. The obtained results reveal that utilizing FSDT without considering the rotary inertia leads to a smaller deflection in comparison with CPT pertaining to a thin plate, while it demonstrates a greater response for...
