    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shafiee, Ahmad (Author) ; Fotouhi Firouzabadi, Morteza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis, first, the modeling method of neural fields is precisely presented. Then, Existence and Stability of different solutions of one dimensional neural fields like Standing Pulses, Traveling Waves and ... are investigated in three different models of neural fields. In order for proving Existence and Stability of the solutions the mathematical tools like Fourier transform and Evans function are applied. All the models which analysed in this thesis have the following Integro-Differential Equation form:
    τ
    ∂u(x, t)
    ∂t
    = −u(x, t) +
    ∫ +∞
    −∞
    w(x, y)f[u(y, t)]dy + I(x, t) + s(x, t)
    and also in some models the parameters might be changed  

    Non-Reciprocity in Transmission Line Resonator with Time Varying Boundary Condition

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shams, Raheleh (Author) ; Mehrany, Khashayar (Supervisor) ; Memarian, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Structures with time-varying electromagnetic properties can potentially yield non-reciprocity, amplification, harmonic generation, and other interesting wave propagation phenomena. To date, some studies have dealt with time-varying media and circuits, including time-varying optical ring resonators having degenerate travelling wave resonances. In time-varying ring resonators, the clockwise and counter clockwise resonances lose their degeneracy, and non-reciprocity is observed. One of the main challenges of such research is the need to induce time-variations in the entirety of the resonator or structure, which makes their implementation very limited or impossible in practice. The purpose of... 

    Modeling and Characterizing Transient Behavior of Distillation Columns with Travelling Wave Theory

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Hemmati Alam, Narjes (Author) ; Pishvaie, Mahmoud Reza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Simulation and controlling nonlinear process is one of the challenging problems in academic and industrial research. Saving data for keeping history of process or arising number of calculation for optimization in control design, is forcing to decrease number of equation or order of system. One of the methods to decrease the order of distillation process is using the travelling wave theory. This solution shows god accuracy for simulation the behavior of distillation column. On the other hand finite difference method as a solver for distillation equation takes some time to converge to steady state condition and the numbers of calculation in this method are high. Finite difference method is...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Dehghani, Ali (Author) ; Mazaheri, Karim (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Design and parametric study of a coupled thermoacoustic refrigerator system has been carried out based on thermoacoustic theories. The purpose of coupled thermoacoustic refrigerator design is to cool a container with small dimensions for use in cold storage above zero. The application of this refrigerator is where the waste heat of piston engines of distributed generation (DG) plants can be used as energy input. The design is based on the simplicity and low cost of the refrigerator. Therefore, the engine and refrigerator part of the coupled thermoacoustic refrigerator is enclosed in a resonator with a fixed diameter, which is closed on both sides of the resonator. Two standing-wave... 

    Analysis and Improvement of Output Voltage Ripple in High Voltage DC Power Supply

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ziaoddini, Mojtaba (Author) ; Kaboli, Shahryar (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The TWT is highly sensitive to the ripple amplitude of its power supply output voltage. If the amplitude of the output voltage's ripple exceeds a certain limit, the amplitude of the undesired harmonics in the power spectrum of the TWT is greatly increased. Increasing the amplitude of undesired harmonics in the TWT output power spectrum reduces the accuracy and performance of the TWT. Therefore, for optimum TWT performance, a low-ripple power supply is essential. Typically, a low-frequency rectifier or high-frequency switching structure is used to build a high-voltage DC power supply. In this thesis, the different structures of high voltage DC power supplies are studied. Next, by focusing on... 

    Analysis of a Mathematical Model Describing the Geographical Spread of Dengue Disease

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Gazori, Fereshteh (Author) ; Hesaaraki, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Dengue is one of the most important infectious diseases in the world. This disease is a viral infection that is transmitted to humans through the bite of a mosquito called Aedes aegypti. For this reason, geographical regions infected with this type of mosquito are at risk of Dengue outbreak. In this thesis, we first present a mathematical model describing the geographical spread of Dengue disease, which includes the movement of both the human population and the winged mosquito population. This model is derived from a mixed system of partial and ordinary differential equations. Our proposed model has the ability to consider the possibility of asymptomatic infection, so that the presence of... 

    Numerical Investigation of Jet Pump Performance in Traveling Wave Thermoacoustic Engine

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Barzegari, Ali (Author) ; Ghorbanian, Kaveh (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Thermoacoustic engines are a promising alternative to the conventional heat engines due to the absence of moving parts in the hot region and the small temperature difference required for operation. However, the traveling wave thermoacoustic engine configuration has a relatively lower efficiency due to a phenomenon called Gedeon streaming. In this regard, a jet pump might be used to lower the negative effects of Gedeon streaming. The jet pump, which is simply an element consisting of one or more tapered holes, induces an oscillating flow through the asymmetric device and hence resulting in a time-averaged pressure drop across it. As a result, by balancing this time averaged pressure drop with... 

    The Impact of Non-reciprocal One-way Propagation on the Coupling between Electromagnetic Resonators and Waveguides

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Zarif, Arezoo (Author) ; Mehrany, Khashayar (Supervisor) ; Rajaei, Behzad (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Subwavelength localization of electromagnetic energy with intense local fields, also known as electromagnetic hotspots, has received significant attention over the past few decades. In most cases the hotspot is achieved through the resonant concentration of electromagnetic fields. One way recently considered to get hotspot is through reflection of electromagnetic waves in nonreciprocal one-way structures, in plasmonics and via magneto optic effect.However these hotspots are less confined compared to hotspots caused by resonances. So combining nonreciprocal structures with resonance can provide better hotspots.Our aim in this thesis is to study nonreciprocal resonant structures using coupled... 

    Using the hybrid DAS-SR method for damage localization in composite plates

    , Article Composite Structures ; Volume 247 , 2020 Nokhbatolfoghahai, A ; Navazi, H. M ; Groves, R. M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Ltd  2020
    Abstract
    In this paper, the hybrid Delay-And-Sum (DAS) with Sparse Reconstruction (SR) method was further developed for damage location in composite plates. In composite materials, anisotropy leads to some challenges in using conventional damage location methods, which are developed for isotropic materials. In the hybrid DAS-SR method, the DAS and SR methods were combined as a complement of each other. To investigate the DAS-SR method for composite structures, the group velocity of the travelling wave for different directions was first measured experimentally via PZTs. The DAS and SR formulations were then modified to be compatible with the direction-dependent group velocities. The results show that... 

    Tunable leaky-wave radiation by graphenecovered corrugated surfaces

    , Article Applied Optics ; Volume 57, Issue 30 , 2018 , Pages 8971-8977 ; 1559128X (ISSN) Tavakol, M. R ; Saba, A ; Arik, K ; Khavasi, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    OSA - The Optical Society  2018
    Abstract
    we propose a graphene-covered subwavelength metallic grating where the Fermi level of graphene is sinusoidally modulated as a leaky-wave antenna at terahertz frequencies. This structure can convert spoof surface plasmon guided waves to free-space radiation due to the tunability of graphene. Analysis and design of the proposed leaky-wave antenna are discussed based on sinusoidally modulated surface impedance. The surface impedance is obtained by an analytical circuit model. The sinusoidal surface impedance is realized using modulation of the conductivity of graphene by applying a bias voltage. The proposed leaky-wave antenna is capable of electronic beam scanning with an almost constant gain...

    Abstract
    In this paper, a novel travelling-wave printed Frequency Scanning Antenna (FSA), which can be used for imaging purposes, is proposed. All sample designs scan the space symmetrically about the broadside direction. For different scanning ranges, two low profile antennas are designed on a 6.6 mils thick Rogers 4350 board substrate layer. Impedance bandwidth of the first one covers 6.5GHz, from 29.5GHz to 36GHz, and this antenna scans 56° in angular space. The second antenna has 5.6GHz bandwidth from 30.6GHz to 36.2GHz, and scans 98° in angular space by means of switching the input port. The average gain and the Side-lobe level (SLL) of the first and the second antennas are 11.46dBi, 12.8dB, and...

    , Article 2nd International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology, ICMMT 2000, 14 September 2000 through 16 September 2000 ; 2000 , Pages 76-79 ; 0780357434 (ISBN); 9780780357433 (ISBN) Moradi, G ; Abdipour, A ; Farzaneh, F ; Ghorbani, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc  2000
    Abstract
    The influence of the loading of the FET electrodes, on signal and noise performances of the device in mixer application is studied. It is shown that exciting the input signal from one end of the gate and extracting the output signal from the opposite ends of the gate can improve the device characteristics, provided that the two remaining ends of the gate and the drain are properly loaded. This structure makes the lines (i.e. the gate and the drain electrodes) to be matched with the loads. Therefore it leads to a travelling wave FET mixer, which is a good candidate for high power mm-wave application. © 2000 IEEE

    Abstract
    Temporal coupled mode theory (CMT) has so far been applied phenomenologically in the analysis of optical cavity-waveguide structures, and relies on a priori knowledge of the to-be-excited resonator mode. Thus a rigorous derivation from Maxwell's equations, and without any prior knowledge of the resonator type is needed. In this paper we derive temporal CMT of optical cavities coupled to waveguides. Starting from Maxwell's equations and considering a proper expansion of the modes of the waveguide and resonator, and using mode orthogonality, the temporal CMT for this structure is obtained. We show that this formulation is general and can be applied to both traveling wave and standing wave type...

    Proposal of a new design for valveless micropumps

    , Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 18, Issue 6 , December , 2011 , Pages 1261-1266 ; 10263098 (ISSN) Afrasiab, H ; Movahhedy, M. R ; Assempour, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    2011
    Abstract
    A new design for a valveless micropumping device has been proposed that integrates two existing pumping technologies, namely, the wall induced traveling wave and the obstacle-type valveless micropump. The liquid in the microchannel is transported by generating a traveling wave on the channel, while the placing of two asymmetric trapezoid obstacles, along the centerline of the channel inlet and outlet, leads to a significant (up to seven times) increase of the net flow rate of the device. The effectiveness of this innovative design has been proved through a verified three-dimensional finite element model. FluidStructure Interaction (FSI) analysis is performed in the framework of an Arbitrary...

    Abstract
    In this work, the authors experimentally show Dirac Leaky Wave Antennas (DLWAs) at upper microwave frequencies. For the first time, DLWAs are implemented using simple Parallel plate waveguide (PPW) technology, while yielding desirable radiation features and continuous beam scanning through broadside, as well as extremely low profile, with significant ease of fabrication, making them well suited for Ku band applications such as satellite communication, radar and emerging fifth-generation (5G). A planar Dirac photonic crystal in PPW is shown with a closed bandgap and linear dispersion around broadside. In this work, 1D and 2D PPDLWAs are designed that provide scannable fan and pencil beams,...

    Abstract
    Recently, the mechanisms of natural undulatory locomotion of aquatic animal swimming have become one of the most significant issues for the researchers, swimmers and engineers. This study aims to elucidate and compare the propulsive vortical signature and performance of backward (negative undulation) and forward (positive undulation) travelling waves through a typical fishlike propulsor by a systematic numerical study. The numerical approach uses a pressure-based finite volume method solver to solve Navier–Stokes equations in an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian framework domain containing a two-dimensional NACA 0012 foil moving with prescribed kinematics.

    Abstract
    This study aims to investigate the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of annular cylinders coupled with a fluid medium to identify the effective parameters on stability margins at different rotation speeds. To achieve this, stability and nonlinear vibrations of rotating cylindrical shells containing incompressible annular fluid are considered. The fluid medium is bounded by a rigid external cylinder. Sanders–Koiter kinematic assumptions are utilized to determine the geometrically nonlinear structural equations of motion. These equations are then used to investigate finite amplitude vibrations of various fluid-loaded shells at different states. A penalty approach is introduced by using...
