Reliability of slope stability analysis using fuzzy set
, Article Annual Conference of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering 2007: Where the Road Ends, Ingenuity Begins, Yellowknife, NT, 6 June 2007 through 9 June 2007 ; Volume 1 , 2007 , Pages 11-20 ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In this research, theory of fuzzy sets is used to deal with the uncertain nature of soil parameters and the inaccuracy involved in the analysis simultaneously. Soil parameters are defined using suitable fuzzy sets and the uncertainty inherent in the value of factor of safety is assessed. It is believed that this approach accounts for the uncertainty in soil parameters more realistically compared to the conventional probabilistic approaches reported in the literature. The proposed method is applied to a case study and the results are discussed subsequently
Small-strain shear modulus of cement-admixed kaolinite
, Article Geotechnical and Geological Engineering ; Volume 30, Issue 1 , Oct , 2012 , Pages 163-171 ; 09603182 (ISSN) ; Pak, A ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
An experimental study is conducted to measure small-strain shear modulus of clay-cement mixture using bender element apparatus setup in a triaxial cell. Bender element tests were conducted on cement-treated soils and the results were analyzed to study the variation of shear modulus properties of soil specimens at different cement contents, confining pressures, curing times, and compaction moisture contents. Based on the obtained results increasing the cement ratio has a significant effect on the small-strain shear modulus of the treated soils, and this effect signifies with increasing the moisture content and curing time. Rates of shear modulus enhancements due to cement content, curing...
Simplified Methods to Estimate the Response of Non-linear Soil-structure Interaction Systems
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghannad, Mohammad Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Usually the structures are designed based on the fixed-base assumption; however thisassumption is not always correct and the bed flexibility should be considered. This effectwhich is called soil-structure interaction, change the response of structure on both elasticand inelastic behavior. In the regulations for the design of structures on flexible base,generally soil-structure system is replaced with an equivalent fixed base structure; in theway that the design force of soil-structure system with reasonable accuracy can beestimated by equivalent fixed-base structure. In some regulations, dynamic characteristicsof equivalent structure have been determined on elastic state and the results have...
Damage Detection of Offshore Jacket Platforms Using Fitting Vibration Data
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ali Akbar, Golafshani (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the regard of structural health monitoring the identification of the structural modal parameters is essential. Since the different sources (wind, waves, Devices …) induce vibration on an offshore platform, it is impossible to determine the portion of each source in vibration. Thus the methods that analyze vibrations needless of input measurements are more efficient. These methods apply the ambient factors and obtain the modal properties from the structural response. This procedure has no unwanted effect on the serviceability of structure and by placement of sensors on the platform; one can monitor the structural health.

Examining the Relationship Between Post-choice Attitude Change and Framing Effects
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fatemi, Farshad (Supervisor) ; Bahrami, Bahador (Supervisor)
Abstract
In economics, choice or behavior is considered as a result of utility optimization. However, there’s much theoretical and experimental evidence that shows human beings suffer from decision-making and judgment errors. This research aiming at examining the relationship between post-choice attitude changes and framing effects as the two instances of those errors designed and implemented a 2 by 2 between-subject lab experiment. The subjects were randomly assigned to one of these four groups. The two treatment groups made their decision after they rated the objects one time and the two control groups did this after they evaluated the objects two times. Another intervention was to manipulate...
Evaluation of dynamic properties of cement-admixed clay using neural network and dynamic triaxial test results
, Article Annual Conference of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering 2007: Where the Road Ends, Ingenuity Begins, Yellowknife, NT, 6 June 2007 through 9 June 2007 ; Volume 1 , 2007 , Pages 215-223 ; Reinforced Earth Company Ltd.; First Air; Dillon Consulting; FSC Architects and Engineers; DIAVIK Diamond Mines; et al ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In this paper dynamic property of Cement-Admixed clay under a wide range of strains were studied considering the effect of different mixing ratio and the change of confining pressures through dynamic triaxial test. Triaxial tests were conducted on untreated and cement treated soils and the results were then analyzed to study the variations in dynamic elastic modulus (Ed) and the damping ratio (D) of soil specimens at different cement ratio. Increasing cement ratio has a significant effect on Ed of the treated soils, and increases it. In contrast, increasing cement ratio decreases D; however, the rate of decreasing D with increasing cement ratio is not considerable. The feed-forward...
Calculation of the Energy Release Rate of Nano-Cracks in FCC Materials Via the Many Body Atomic Scale FEM
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mohammadi Shodja, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Since the classical continuum theory fails to deal with the problems associated with defects, stress concentrators, and relevant deformation phenomena in solids, alternative approaches that can detect the atomistic nature of materials' fracture are required. The deficiency of the capture the size effect which yields delusively high values for some components of the stress field right on the edge of the stress concentrators, and its weakness in describing the complex interaction between small inhomogeneities, cracks and the like when they are only a few nanometers apart, are among some of the disadvantages of the classical approach. In recent years, however, atomistic methods are emerging to...
Semisolid Stir Joining of As-Cast Silicon-Aluminum Bronze
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kokabi, Amir Hossein (Supervisor) ; Ashuri, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Aluminum Bronzes have many applications in marine environments. These alloys suffer from both hot cracking and cold cracking. In order to overcome the hot cracking and cold cracking, Semisolid Stir Joining method and a proper thermal cycle was used respectively. Effects of temperature, stirring rate, and tool type were investigated in Semisolid Stir joining method. In this method, butt joint design was used in order to place specimens, and the specimens were heated up to specific temperatures (920, 925, 930°C). A stirrer (Cylindrical and Grooved tool) with three rotational speeds (800, 1200, 1600 RPM) was introduced into the stir weld seam. Welded specimens were cooled to the 900°C...
The Study of Eliminating Gender Gap in Iran Labor Market on Participation Rate of Married Urban Women
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rahmati, Mohammad Hossein (Supervisor) ; Joshaghani, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
The low female labor force participation rate in the Iranian labor market relative to the global average and even to countries that do not differ significantly from the socio-economic characteristics of our country is one of the important questions of the Iranian labor market. In this study, we seek to answer the question of whether the economic participation rate of married women will increase if the gender gaps in wages, job findings and job losses among women and men are eliminated in the Iranian labor market. To answer this question using household expenditure and income data and labor force data, we show that between the two categories of occupations, in terms of the share of women's...
Graph homomorphisms through random walks [electronic resource]
, Article Journal of Graph Theory ; 2003, Volume 44, Issue 1, pages 15–38 ; Hajiabolhassan, Hossein ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this paper we introduce some general necessary conditions for the existence of graph homomorphisms, which hold in both directed and undirected cases. Our method is a combination of Diaconis and Saloff–Coste comparison technique for Markov chains and a generalization of Haemers interlacing theorem. As some applications, we obtain a necessary condition for the spanning subgraph problem, which also provides a generalization of a theorem of Mohar (1992) as a necessary condition for Hamiltonicity. In particular, in the case that the range is a Cayley graph or an edge-transitive graph, we obtain theorems with a corollary about the existence of homomorphisms to cycles. This, specially, provides...
Unique list-colourability and the fixing chromatic number of graphs [electronic resource]
, Article Discrete Applied Mathematics ; Volume 152, Issues 1–3, 1 November 2005, Pages 123–138 ; Hajiabolhassan, Hossein ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this paper we introduce a chromatic parameter, called the fixing chromatic number, which is related to unique colourability of graphs, in the sense that it measures how one can embed the given graph G in G∪Kt by adding edges between G and Kt to make the whole graph uniquely t-colourable. We study some basic properties of this parameter as well as its relationships to some other well-known chromatic numbers as the acyclic chromatic number. We compute the fixing chromatic number of some graph products by applying a modified version of the exponential graph construction
Circular colouring and algebraic no-homomorphism theorems
, Article European Journal of Combinatorics ; Volume 28, Issue 6, August 2007, Pages 1843–1853 ; Hajiabolhassan, Hossein ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this paper, we apply some new algebraic no-homomorphism theorems in conjunction with some new chromatic parameters to estimate the circular chromatic number of graphs. To show the applicability of the general results, as a couple of examples, we generalize a well known inequality for the fractional chromatic number of graphs and we also show that the circular chromatic number of the graph obtained from the Petersen graph by excluding one vertex is equal to 3. Also, we focus on the Johnson–Holroyd–Stahl conjecture about the circular chromatic number of Kneser graphs and we propose an approach to this conjecture. In this regard, we introduce a new related conjecture on Kneser graphs and we...
Density and power graphs in graph homomorphism problem
, Article Discrete Mathematics ; Volume 308, Issue 17, 6 September 2008, Pages 4027–4030 ; Hajiabolhassan, Hossein ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
We introduce two necessary conditions for the existence of graph homomorphisms based on the concepts of density and power graph. As corollaries, we obtain a lower bound for the fractional chromatic number, and we set forward elementary proofs of the facts that the circular chromatic number of the Petersen graph is equal to three and the fact that the Coxeter graph is a core
Temperature dependence study of nonocontact AFM images using molecular dynamics simulations [electronic resource]
, Article Int. Journal of Modern Physics ; 2012, Vol. 5, pp. 418-432 ; Meghdar, Ali ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The effect of temperature on the noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) surface imaging is investigated with the aid of molecular dynamics (MD) analysis based on the Sutton-Chen (SC) interatomic potential. Particular attention is devoted to the tip and sample flexibility at different temperatures. When a gold coated probe is brought close to the Au (001) surface at high temperatures, the tip and surface atoms are pulled together and their distance becomes smaller. The tip and sample atoms displacement varies in the different environment temperatures and this leads to the different interaction forces. Along this line, to study the effect of temperature on the resulting images, we have...
Developing an Analytical Model for Predicting the Residual Stresses Induced by Shot Peening with Considering the Effect of Initial Surface Treatment
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Farrahi, Gholam Hossein (Supervisor) ; Mahmoudi, Amir Hossein (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Shot peening is a cold-working process commonly used in industry to improve the fatigue performance, stress corrosion resistance and surface nano-crystallization of metallic parts. This process extends fatigue life via two mechanisms: Preventing the crack growth due to compressive residual stresses and, preventing the crack initiation because of increased material hardness. These mechanisms are the results of the bombardment of the component's surface with small spherical particles. In this research, an analytical model is developed for estimating the residual stress distribution induced by shot peening process. The modifications of the developed analytical model are related to...

Evaluating Reliability of SSDs Against Power Outage
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Asadi, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Solid-State Drives (SSDs) provide high performance, low power consumption, and hence are widely used in the I/O cache of enterprise storage systems and high performance servers. Although employing high performance SSDs in the I/O cache of storage systems significantly improves system performance, it comes with significant reliability threats for write operations upon power failures. In order to provide high level of reliability, storage architectures employ SSDs in I/O cache with RAID-1 configuration, however, such configuration only partially mitigates the reliability issues of the SSDs. In this thesis, we analyze the reliability of SSD-based I/O caches against power outage and high...
On the isoperimetric spectrum of graphs and its approximations [electronic resource]
, Article Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B ; Volume 100, Issue 4, July 2010, Pages 390–412 ; Hajiabolhassan, Hossein ; Javadi, Ramin ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In this paper1 we consider higher isoperimetric numbers of a (finite directed) graph. In this regard we focus on the nth mean isoperimetric constant of a directed graph as the minimum of the mean outgoing normalized flows from a given set of n disjoint subsets of the vertex set of the graph. We show that the second mean isoperimetric constant in this general setting, coincides with (the mean version of) the classical Cheeger constant of the graph, while for the rest of the spectrum we show that there is a fundamental difference between the nth isoperimetric constant and the number obtained by taking the minimum over all n-partitions. In this direction, we show that our definition is the...

Abstract
Language model is one of the most important parsts of an automated speech recognition system whiche incorporates the knowledge of Natural Language to the system to improve its accuracy. Conventionally used language model in recognition systems is ngram which usually is extracted from a large corpus using related frequency method. ngram model approximates the probability of a word sequence by multiplying its ngram probabilities and thus does not take into account the long distance dependencies. So, syntactic language models could be of interest. In this research after probing different syntactic language models, a mehtod for re-estimating ngram model, introduced by Stolcke in 1994, was...
