    Abstract
    Magnesium and its alloys have gained significant popularity due to their light weight and their potential for use as bioresorbable materials. However, their application is limited in practice due to their relatively poor corrosion resistance. Several methods are available for improving the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys for bio-applications such as using different coatings, alloying, and modifying the microstructural parameters such as the grain size and the crystallographic texture. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the effects of crystallographic texture and twinning, as one of the most important deformation mechanisms of Mg and Mg alloys, on the corrosion behavior.... 

    Anomalous plastic behavior of fine-grained MP35N alloy during room temperature tensile testing

    , Article Journal of Materials Processing Technology ; Volume 155-156, Issue 1-3 , 2004 , Pages 1905-1911 ; 09240136 (ISSN) Asgari, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    2004
    Abstract
    In this paper, results of an investigation on the strain hardening responses of superalloy MP35N with two average grain sizes of 38 and 1 μm, during room temperature tensile testing are reported. The microstructural evolution of the deformed samples was studied using optical and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The strain hardening behavior of the 38 μm material was rather similar to that previously reported for low stacking fault energy (SFE) fee alloys. The plastic behavior of the fine grain material, however, was unexpected. In the strain range of 0.1-0.4, the work hardening rate of the fine grain size sample was evidently lower than that of the large grain size...

    Abstract
    Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify the fault modes of a nonlinear twin-rotor system (TRS) using the subspace technique to facilitate fault identification, diagnosis and control applications. Design/methodology/approach: For identification of fault modes, three types of system malfunctions are introduced. First malfunction resembles actuator, second internal system dynamics and third represents sensor malfunction or offset. For each fault scenario, the resulting TRS model is applied with persistently exciting inputs and corresponding outputs are recorded. The collected input–output data are invoked in NS4SID subspace system identification algorithm to obtain the unknown fault...

    , Article Graphs and Combinatorics ; Volume 33, Issue 4 , 2017 , Pages 595-615 ; 09110119 (ISSN) Abedin, P ; Akbari, S ; Demange, M ; Ekim, T ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Let G be a graph whose each component has order at least 3. Let s: E(G) → Zk for some integer k≥ 2 be an improper edge coloring of G (where adjacent edges may be assigned the same color). If the induced vertex coloring c: V(G) → Zk defined by c(v)=∑e∈Evs(e)inZk, (where the indicated sum is computed in Zk and Ev denotes the set of all edges incident to v) results in a proper vertex coloring of G, then we refer to such a coloring as an improper twin k-edge coloring. The minimum k for which G has an improper twin k-edge coloring is called the improper twin chromatic index of G and is denoted by χit′(G). It is known that χit′(G)=χ(G), unless χ(G)≡2(mod4) and in this case χit′(G)∈{χ(G),χ(G)+1}....

    Abstract
    In this research, aerodynamic design of a twin-entry radial-inflow turbine was done based on the direct method using a developed design code. The Garrett turbocharger was chosen for this purpose. At the first step, the 1D design, based on the impeller efficiency convergence, was performed. In 3D design, which is divided into preliminary and detail design, the profiles of the impeller and blade angle was carried out. Afterward the 3D shape of the blade can be achieved by combining these profiles. There is a good geometrical agreement between designed impeller and the laboratory’s existing impeller in both steps. In order to predict the performance of the turbine, the 1D analysis code was...

Lastly, the effects of influencing factors... 

    The Study of Wind Aerodynamics Effects on Degrading the Dry Cooling Tower Performance; Using Experimental and CFD Tools

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Bagheri, Amir Hossein (Author) ; Darbandi, Massoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    A power plant cooling tower is like a tower, which needs to be studied very carefully from the aerodynamics point of view. Both the aerodynamics forces on the plume and intake stram are affected by the local winds and the performance of cooling tower decreases. There is a symmetric turbulent flow through the cooling tower if there is no. Wind blowing creates different vorticies, which appear in the lower section of the tower. Their periodic and wuick movments causes deficiency in towers performance and efficiency. Additionally there is wind effect on the plane of cooling tower and this causes a chocked plume which is named Wind Cover. The objective of this study is to decrease the adverse...

    A novel deep learning backstepping controller-based digital twins technology for pitch angle control of variable speed wind turbine

    , Article Designs ; Volume 4, Issue 2 , 2020 , Pages 1-19 Parvaresh, A ; Abrazeh, S ; Mohseni, S. R ; Zeitouni, M. J ; Gheisarnejad, M ; Khooban, M. H ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This paper proposes a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) based nonlinear integral backstepping (NIB) in combination with model free control (MFC) for pitch angle control of variable speed wind turbine. In particular, the controller has been presented as a digital twin (DT) concept, which is an increasingly growing method in a variety of applications. In DDPG-NIB-MFC, the pitch angle is considered as the control input that depends on the optimal rotor speed, which is usually derived from effective wind speed. The system stability according to the Lyapunov theory can be achieved by the recursive nature of the backstepping theory and the integral action has been used to compensate for...

    Abstract
    Optimized conditions of hot and cold rolling followed by annealing can result in a balance between recrystallization and rolling textures in order to reduce the planar anisotropy of brass sheets. In this work, the effect of finish rolling temperature, cold reduction and annealing temperature on texture development has been investigated. It is shown that uniform deformation at higher finishing temperature is responsible of formation of a severe Cube and G texture components. In contrast, mechanical twinnings are widely formed at low finishing temperatures. There is also a direct relation between the intensity of Cube component and the amount of cold reduction

    Twin Edge Coloring of Graphs

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Fereydounian, Mohammad (Author) ; Akbari, Saeed (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Let G be a graph. A twin edge k-coloring of G is a proper edge coloring of G with the elements of Z_k so that for every vertex u and v of G we have s(u)≠s(v), where s(u) is the sum of all colors of the edges incident with u. The minimum k for which G has a twin edge k-coloring is called twin chromatic index of G and denoted by χ_t^' (G). In this thesis we find the chromatic index of paths, cycles, complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and some complete tripartite graphs. In 2014 it was conjectured that if G is a connected graph with at least 3 vertices and maximum degree Δ(G), then χ_t^' (G)≤Δ(G)+3

The results illustrate that introduction of the compatibilizer and also variation of the processing conditions affect structure and mechanical properties of... 

    Evaluation of the role of deformation twinning in work hardening behavior of face-centered-cubic polycrystals

    , Article Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A: Physical Metallurgy and Materials Science ; Volume 39, Issue 2 , 2008 , Pages 294-303 ; 10735623 (ISSN) Hamdi, F ; Asgari, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    2008
    Abstract
    Results of an investigation on the evolution of microstructure during simple compression testing of two face-centered-cubic (fcc) polycrystals, IN625 superalloy and 316L stainless steel, are reported and a review on the existing data related to the uniaxial deformation of fcc polycrystals is presented. It is found that while a number of fcc polycrystals show linear hardening behavior, the evolution of the underlying microstructure may be quite different. It is argued that, in contrast to the current belief, deformation twinning may not be the sole cause of linear hardening in low stacking fault energy (SFE) fcc polycrystals. It is suggested that, due to the requirement of slip system change...

    Abstract
    In this study, a near equiatomic NiTi shape memory alloy was hot rolled at 800°C using thethickness reductions of 30 and 50%. Optical and transmission electron microscopy, together withX-ray diffraction were used to demonstrate the microstructural changes associated with the hotrolling at different thickness reductions. Repeated transformation cycling was employed toinvestigate the evolution of R phase during cycling. Microstructural observations revealed thepresence of deformation twins embedded in an elongated grain matrix in the hot rolled material.Moreover, it was found that with increasing degree of thickness reduction, the size and number ofdeformation twins increased throughout the... 

    Microstructural characterisation of deformation behaviour of nickel base superalloy IN625

    , Article Materials Science and Technology ; Volume 27, Issue 12 , 2011 , Pages 1858-1862 ; 02670836 (ISSN) Behjati, P ; Asgari, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Simple compression and microscopy techniques were employed to characterise the microstructural origin of the deformation behaviour of nickel base superalloy IN625 during large strain testing. The alloy exhibited a four-stage strain hardening response similar to that previously reported for low stacking fault energy face centred cubic alloys. At strains lower than about -0.06 (stage A), a falling regime of the hardening rate was observed. This stage was followed by a second stage (stage B) of slow increasing hardening rate, which was found to be coincident with the formation of Lomer-Cottrell locks. The second falling regime of strain hardening (stage C) was seen in the strain range of -0.25...

    Abstract
    A feasible and low cost approach to implement a nonplanar dual-polarized log-periodic dipole array antenna using printed circuit board (PCB) technology is proposed. The proposed antenna utilizes a very short transition from a coaxial cable to a balanced twin-lead transmission line to realize an ultrawide bandwidth balun, and has two distinct scaling factor values for high and low frequency elements. A prototype of the antenna operating over the frequency range of 1-13 GHz was designed, fabricated, and tested. An average gain of 7 dBi is obtained. Measured VSWR, cross-polarization and front-to-back ratio are better than 2.6, -16 dB, and 22 dB, respectively

Also, the gas turbine actuators including variable inlet guide vanes, compressor bleed valves, and fuel valves were simulated so that their concurrent effects on the gas turbine transient behavior can be captured precisely. Moreover, the air-cooled...

    Abstract
    Understanding the effect of crystallographic orientation on the twinnin/detwinning mechanisms in NiTi shape memory alloys at an atomistic scale can help to control and tune the mechanical properties and failure behavior of such materials. In this work, we employed classical molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) computational methods to better understand how twinning and detwinning occurs through a combination of slip, twin, and shuffle on 〈0 1 0〉, 〈1 1 0〉, and 〈1 1 1〉 crystallographic orientations under uniaxial tensile test. Elastic constants including Young's Modulus (E), Bulk modulus (B), Poisson's ratio (ν), and Shear Modulus (G) are obtained and computed for...
