Dual Phase ferritic-martensitic steels are kind of high strength low alloy steels (HASLA) which are widely used in industry because of their strength and formability. Since welding of dual phase steels in conventional welding methods causes structural change and Subsequently alters mechanical properties of both weld zone and heat affected zone(HAZ), additional operations which are not commercially viable is needed to achieve a dual phase structure in structurally changed regions. In this study, transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding method is used during dual phasing process in order to preserve dual phase ferritic-martensitic structure and avoid extra heat treatment. Applied pressure during... 

The  aim  of  this  work  is  to  investigate  some  theoretical  models  developed  in  recent years for describing electronic correlation and apply them to some special problems  and  metallicity  and  insulating  behavior  of  one  type  of  paramagnetic  systems. One  of  the  vast‐applied  and  effective  routines  for  investigating  the  strongly  correlated electron systems is Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT).

Nowadays, oil has an important role in our life and most of its role can be seen on the transportation. Discovering and extraction of oil are very important to produce oil and receive it to costumer. When oil is discovered, the oil companies used to drill the ground to extract the oil but they can’t extract all of oil from its reservoir. So, researchers proposed to inject another fluid like water to the oil reservoir to extract oil. Oil is trapped in the porous media which has a lot of pores and some of them have a micro scale size and they contain oil. When water is injected to the reservoir it flows in this pore and interfaces with oil and they create a multiphase flow. The governing...

Foundation is the lowest load-bearing part of a structure and a part of underneath soil that is affected by the structure load. In fact, foundation transfers the loads from the superstructure to the substructure, preventing excessive settlement of soil or stresses exceeding soil bearing capacity. Indeed, almost all structures are placed on the ground, therefore the effects of soil and structure on each other, which is known as Soil Structure Interaction (SSI), is considered as a key factor in many important and engineered structures. In contrast to structures on a rigid footing, a flexible foundation may show stiffness degradation along with an increase of damping and natural period of the...

Integrated guidance and control (IGC) as a new approach to guidance and control methods has been studied in this thesis. A new approach to nonlinear aerodynamic formulation with backstepping controller has been proposed in order to improve interception. Various curve fitting techniques like Gram-schmidt method has been tested. But finally a planar aerodynamic formulation was used which only varies with angle of attack. Results showed that the proposed method requests smaller control input than the linear IGC formulation and conventional G&C methods, because of more precise knowledge of normal force coefficient. Thus the vehicle experiences smaller angle of attack and normal acceleration....
