In today’s world the growth in population make food production and also the packaging industry increase. Finding new ways to enhance the efficiency of packaging is become so important beyond researchers. As the randomized co-polypropylene is the most suitable materials for this industry many attempts have been made to control its melting behavior with the aim of expanding their application in the packaging industry. The study in this field indicate the dependence of the melting behavior on the structural characteristics of the material such as molecular mass, chain structure, type of crystalline structure, and the amount of dispersion of the crystals thickness. Due to the lack of proper... 

In this thesis, we investigate some transport and many body properties of the 2DEG at the interface of LaAlO3=SrTiO3. First, following Boltzmann approach,we calculate conductivity and mobility of the system. We find that the mobility varies inversely with the cubic power of the carrier density ( / n3 2D) in good agreement with the experimental results. Taking in to account the variations of the dielectric constant of SrTiO3 with carrier density together with the variable impurity density are remarkably important in order to explain the abrupt decrease of the mobility with increasing the density in this system. We find that although the multiband nature of the system and interband...

All supersonic intakes with external compression, having a good level of performance at all the critical poin t. Exhibit a marked instability of flow in subcritical operation below some value of the flow ratio, in the form of an oscillation of the shock system, colloquially known as “buzz", which can lead to thrust loss, engine surge or even structural damages. Therefore the effort to understand the nature and cause of this phenomenon is important in order that the starting of buzz can be predicted and more effectively avoided without losing performance. This phenomenon has been the subject of many studies, mainly experimental. In this research, we design and build an axisymmetric supersonic...

In this study, mechanical properties of neat isotactic polypropylene (iPP) were evaluated on local and global scales. Depth-sensing indentation with nanoscale resolution (nanoindentation) and traditional macromechanical tests were incorporated for this purpose at different temperatures and strain rates. Various morphologies and crystalline structures of iPP was obtained via changing processing conditions in melt state. A certain relation was found between the local and global mechanical properties, i. e. yield stress, modulus of elasticity and hardness. Moreover, developed yield models were evaluated on the local scale. The results showed that while crystal plasticity theory is not valid for... 

In this project, the ionization and dissociation of methane molecule by intense femto-second lasers has been studied. Dissociation probability is calculated for interacting CH4 molecule under Ti: Sapphire laser pulse with pulse durations of 10- 40fs in intensities at the range of 1014-1016 Wcm-2. Calculations are carried out with time-dependent density functional theory using Gaussian03 and Octopus packages as powerful computational chemical physics programs. Due to importance of the dependence of interaction dynamics to laser parameters, the effect of these parameters including different intensities, polarization, various pulse durations and pulse envelopes are investigated.

Ni-Ti shape memory alloys have attracted most of the research in the field of shape memory alloys both because of their complicated and diverse phase transformation characteristics and their optimum properties for various applications which span such a properties as shape memory effect, pseudoelasticity, excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. The key properties of these alloys is generated through a thermoelastic martensitic transformation the occurrence of which is extremely sensitive to the metallurgical conditions of the alloy e.g. composition and microstructure. This has led to the development of various procedures implemented in either fabrication, processing or heat... 

MP210 alloy is a member of multiphase family alloys, a class of wrought nickel-cobalt base alloys extensively used in high-quality applications including aerospace fasteners, gas turbine engines and petrochemical industry. Very limited information can be found in the literature about the microstructure and phase transformations of this alloy. The aim of this work is characterizing the aging response of the material and identifying the major strengthening phases precipitated in different range of temperatures and also studying the static recrystallization behavior of this alloy.

Previous observation and models on the origin of linear hardening behavior in FCC polycrystals are critically reviewed. To reveal the draw backs of the previous models, selected results of an investigation on the evolution of microstructure during simple compression testing of two FCC polycrystals, Inconel 625 superalloy and AISI 316L stainless steel are reported. 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 SFE FCC polycrystals. It is suggested that only... 

In this study nanostructured composite from Al1050 and Al2024 were manufactured via accumulative roll bonding (ARB). Process was conducted in two different ways. In one approach the Al2024 sheets were annealed and in the other they were solution treated (ST). The sheets were degreased by acetone and wire-brushed, and then one Al2024 was placed between two sheets of Al1050, so three pieces of sheets were stacked to be 3 mm in thickness. The stacked sheets were rollbonded to produce the primary composite sandwich with thickness of 1 mm. Then, this sandwich was cut in the half and the two halves were degreased and wire-brushed and stacked to be 2 mm in thickness. Roll-bonding was conducted...

Hydrodynamic mesoscopic equations are solved using boundary integral method to investigate the coarsening dynamics of two dimensional nanodroplets. The dynamics is probed by locating two drops on homogeneous, chemical heterogeneous and physical heterogeneous substrates respectively. For homogeneous substrate, the effect of different parameters like droplets distance, slip boundary condition, surface contact angle and disjoining pressure type on the dynamics is studied. Results reveal that increasing the contact angles to values larger than a critical value may qualitatively change the coarsening process and the profile of the disjoining pressure can appreciably modify the coarsening rate....
