, Article Ironmaking and Steelmaking ; Volume 38, Issue 4 , 2011 , Pages 314-320 ; 03019233 (ISSN) ; Serajzadeh, S ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this study, static strain aging behaviour of cold rolled steel strips was considered with emphasis on the distribution of residual hydrostatic stress developed during temper rolling. In order to assess residual stress distribution produced by the temper rolling, a three-dimensional model was first employed. Then, samples were rolled at a reduction of 4% under single and double pass rolling programmes and the kinetics of static strain aging phenomenon as well as the required activation energies were then evaluated using hardness and tensile tests on the deformed samples. Considering the predicted residual hydrostatic stress distribution, it was found that tensile hydrostatic stresses...
Thermo-mechanical and microstructural issues in dissimilar friction stir welding of AA5086-AA6061
, Article Journal of Materials Science ; Volume 46, Issue 10 , 2011 , Pages 3258-3268 ; 00222461 (ISSN) ; Serajzadeh, S ; Kokabi, A. H ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this research, thermo-mechanical behavior and microstructural events in dissimilar friction stir welding of AA6061-T6 and AA5086-O have been evaluated. The thermo-mechanical responses of materials during the process have been predicted employing a three-dimensional model together with a finite element software, ABAQUS. Then, mechanical properties and microstructures of the weld zone were studied with the aid of experimental observations and model predictions. It is found that the mixing of material in the weld nugget is performed more efficiently when AA5086 is in the advancing side and also the temperature field is distributed asymmetrically resulting in larger thermally affected region...

, Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 18, Issue 2 A , 2011 , Pages 139-149 ; 10263098 (ISSN) ; Estekanchi, H. E ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The Endurance Time (ET) method is a time history-based dynamic analysis procedure which uses special intensifying acceleration functions for evaluation of the seismic response of structures. One of the potential applications of the ET method is in the three-dimensional analysis of buildings under multidirectional excitations. In this paper, considering horizontal components of excitation, an algorithm for the multi-component analysis of building structures by the ET method is proposed, and results of the ET method for various steel moment frames with 1 to 7 stories are compared with results from time history analysis with real earthquakes. Results show that based on recommendations of...

Abstract
Axon is a filament in neuronal system and axonal microtubules are bundles in axons. In axons, microtubules are coated with microtubule-associated protein tau, a natively unfolded profuse filamentous protein in the central nervous system. These proteins are responsible for the cross-linked structure of the axonal microtubule bundles. Through complimentary dimerization with other tau proteins, bridges are formed to nearby microtubules to create bundles. The transverse reinforcement of microtubules by cross-linking to the cytoskeleton has been shown to enhance their ability to bear compressive loads. Though microtubules are conventionally regarded as bearing compressive loads, in certain...

Abstract
Hemodynamic factors, such as Wall Shear Stress (WSS), play a substantial role in arterial diseases. In the larger arteries, such as the carotid artery, interaction between the vessel wall and blood flow affects the distribution of hemodynamic factors. In the present study, both rigid-wall and deformable-wall models are developed in a 3D numerical simulation to assess the effectiveness of arterial rigidity on worsening hemodynamics, especially WSS. Two different rheological models (Newtonian and CarreauYasuda) have been employed to evaluate the influence of blood, non-Newtonian properties, as well. The importance of vessel wall deformability was compared with the rheological model of blood....

Modeling of Oxygen Transport and Exchange in an Acinus
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Saeedi, Mohammad Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
An acinus is defined as the complex of airways supplied by one first order respiratory or transitional bronchiole. In this part, the replenishment of oxygen at the alveolar surface occurs by a combination of convective air flow with diffusion of oxygen in the air. So for studying gas exchange in the lung, modeling gas species transport and exchange in an acinus is important. Due to lacking direct measurements of the distribution of oxygen (or carbon dioxide) concentration in the acinus, several mathematical models have been developed and studied by numerical simulations. But in none of them the influence of breathing pattern and the role of blood flow in restricting the gas exchange rate have...

Abstract
Stepped planing hulls enable the feasibility of running at relatively low Drag-Lift ratio by means of achieving more optimal trim angle at high speeds. Currently, there is no precise method to analyze these hulls over the full range of operating speeds. In this study, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model using volume of fluid (VOF) approach is presented for examining the characteristics of a planing hull having one transverse step. A procedure is presented to transform a series of fixed-position simulations into a free to heave and pitch simulation. Resistance, lift, running draft, dynamic trim angle, and wetted area are compared with available experimental data and...

Abstract
Peripheral milling is extensively used in manufacturing processes, especially in aerospace industry where end mills are used for milling of wing parts and engine components. Knowledge of the cutting forces is the first necessary stage in analysis of the milling process. In this paper, cutting forces are presented for both two and three dimensional models. Instead of the common linear dependency of cutting forces to the cut chip thickness, two nonlinear models are presented. In the first model, cutting forces are considered as a function of chip thickness with a complete third order polynomial. In the second one, the quadratic and constant terms of the third order polynomial are set to zero....

Abstract
Embryogenesis, regeneration and cell differentiation in microbiological entities are influenced by mechanical forces. Therefore, development of mechanical properties of these materials is important. Neural network technique is a useful method which can be used to obtain cell deformation by the means of force-geometric deformation data or vice versa. Prior to insertion in the needle injection process, deformation and geometry of cell under external point-load is a key element to understand the interaction between cell and needle. In this paper the goal is the prediction of cell membrane deformation under a certain force, and to visually estimate the force of indentation on the membrane from...

Abstract
Stay and guide vanes (distributor) are essential parts of a turbine. They are used to control the flow rate and to appropriately transfer the flow momentum to the runner. In this work, flow through the distributor is analyzed. For various Boundary Conditions (BC) and different configurations, threedimensional flows in the distributor of a Francis turbine are evaluated and compared with each other. The numerical simulations were carried out using Fluent software and the results were validated with a GAMM Francis turbine, where the geometry and detailed best efficiency measurements were publically available. In these simulations, the flow was assumed to be steady and the effect of turbulence...

, Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 17, Issue 5 A , 2010 , Pages 372-386 ; 10263098 (ISSN) ; Khoei, A. R ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this paper, the continuum damage mechanics model originally proposed by Lemaitre (Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology. 1985; 107: 83-89) is presented through an adaptive finite element method for three-dimensional ductile materials. The macro-crack initiation-propagation criterion is used based on the distribution of damage variable in the continuum damage model. The microcrack closure effect is incorporated to simulate the damage evolution more realistic. The Zienkiewicz-Zhu posteriori error estimator is employed in conjunction with a weighted Superconvergence Patch Recovery (SPR) technique at each patch to improve the accuracy of error estimation and data transfer process....

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to model the detailed effects of interactions that take place between components of un-bonded flexible risers, and to study the three-dimensional motion responses of risers when subjected to axial loads, bending moments, and internal and external pressures. A constitutive law for un-bonded flexible risers is proposed and a procedure for the identification of the related input parameters is developed using a multi-scale approach. A generalized finite element structural model based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is developed in which the constitutive law is embedded. The beam theory is enhanced by the addition of suitable pressure terms to the generalized...

Abstract
In this study, the fluid dynamics and convective heat transfer for turbulent flows through a 3-sub channel of a rod bundle, which is representative of those used in VVER-1000, are examined. The rod bundle is constructed from parallel rods in a hexagonal array. The rods are on constant pitch by spacer grids spaced axially along the rod bundle. The geometry details of the bundle and heat flux from the fuel rod are similar to that of the Iranian nuclear reactor under construction. A numerical study using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was carried out to estimate the flow field, pressure loss and heat transfer coefficients in spacer grids and rod bundles.

A physically-based three dimensional fracture network modeling technique
, Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 19, Issue 3 , 2012 , Pages 594-604 ; 10263098 (ISSN) ; Sobhani, M ; Al Ajmi, A. M ; Al Wahaibi, Y. M ; Khamis Al Wahaibi, T ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In poorly developed fractured rocks, the contribution of individual fracture on rock conductivity should be considered. However, due to the lack of data, a deterministic approach cannot be used. The conventional way to model discrete fractures is to use a Poisson process, with prescribed distribution, for fracture size and orientation. Recently, a stochastic approach, based on the idea that the elastic energy due to fractures follows a Boltzmann distribution, has been used to generate realizations of correlated fractures in two dimensions. The elastic energy function has been derived by applying the appropriate physical laws in an elastic medium. The resulting energy function has been used...
