With the proliferation of data centers, their ever-growing energy consumption has gained lots of attention from both academy and industry . Two primary parts that use majority of energy in data centers are IT equipment and cooling system or Computing Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) unit. Energy consumption of cooling system strongly relies on thermal performance of data center. Therefore, applying thermal management techniques for decreasing energy consumption of CRAC is a common practice. Moreover, the energy consumption of IT equipment affects the energy consumption of CRAC directly. Demand for more computing resources in data centers and their physical limits has, motivated the use of FPGAs ... 

Tolerance allocation in the recent mechanical assembly is significant because it straightly affects product performance and cost. Loose tolerances may cause the quality defect while tight tolerances can increase the cost. Thermal effects and the temperature gradients are one of the factors that caused changes in the size and geometry of the components during the performance of mechanical assemblies. This thesis proposes a new approach for tolerance design considering the thermal effects, to achieve lower manufacturing cost and good product quality. Finite element analysis is used to determine the deformation of components in an assembly. The neural network is trained using experimental... 

Accurate description of kinematics of continuum mechanics is essential in simulation of large deformation problems in solid mechanics. From the numerical viewpoint, two main approaches have been used for such description; the Lagrangian approach and the Eulerian approach. However, each of these approaches suffer from shortcomings which hinders their application in large deformation problems. A more general approach called the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method (ALE) provides an opportunity to exploit the advantages of both Lagrangian and Eulerian approach, while avoiding their shortcoming. In an ALE analysis, the FE mesh is neither attached to the material nor fixed in space, necessarily.... 

Thermal relaxation time is the time when maximum temperature of a particle get to 1/e of it’s initial value. The destruction of a tissue depends to this important parameter. This parameter has studied by Monte Carlo simulation of pulsed laser in to environment as healthy and cancerous tissue. The main goal of this method is providing proper temperature in a special area so that minimize thermal destruction around that area. In this thesis, temperature distribution of tissue that is caused by pulsed laser, has solved by new method;in this new method the pulse duration uses for Monte Carlo simulation. Also using the solution of radiation transfer equation by Discretes Ordinate Method, new...
