EVALUATION LATERAL FAILURE OF CIRCULAR RC COLUMNS
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moghaddam, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
This thesis presents an extension of an analytical method previously introduced for evaluation of the deformation capacity of RC columns. The method utilizes fiber elements to arrive at nonlinear moment-curvature relationship for each segment. An existing stress-strain model has been modified and used in this study. This model considers the crushing failure of confined concrete, buckling of longitudinal reinforcements in compression, and their fracture in tension. It also accounts for the spiral fracture. This method was employed to determine the force-displacement diagrams for circular RC columns dominated by flexural mode of failure, and was calibrated against a number of relevant...
Entanglement wedge reconstruction and correlation measures in mixed states: Modular flows versus quantum recovery channels
, Article Physical Review D ; Volume 104, Issue 4 , 2021 ; 24700010 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
American Physical Society

Abstract
In this work we study the nature of correlations among mixed states in the setup of two symmetric strips. We use various tools to determine how the bulk geometry could be reconstructed from the boundary mixed information. These tools would be the modular Hamiltonian and modular flow, operator product expansion (OPE) blocks, quantum recovery channels such as Petz map, Uhlmann holonomy, and Wilson lines. We comment on the similarities and connections between these approaches in our symmetric setup of a mixed system. Specially, we use parameters such as dissipation which is being modeled by the mass of graviton, and also the same sign charge of the two strips to find connections between these...

Abstract
To every Steiner system with parameters (t, k, v) on {1,…, v} and blocks B, we can assign its characteristic vector X B , which is a (0, 1)-vector whose entries are indexed by the k-subsets of {1,…, v} such that for each k-subset A of {1,…, v}, X B (A) = 1 if and only if A ∈ B. In this paper, we show that the dimension of the vector space generated by all of the characteristic vectors of Steiner systems with parameters (t, k, v) is (Formula presented.), provided that 1 ≤ t ≤ k ≤ v/2 and there is at least one such system. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
Aerodynamic Optimization of a Four Stage Centrifugal Flow Compressor
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghorbanian, Kaveh (Supervisor)
Abstract
The performance of centrifugal compressors deviates from its best design point and reaches lower efficiencies by time and conversion of input gas properties such as the pressure, temperature, and mixture characteristics. By the fact that each designed compressor should have a wide range of functionality, redesign and optimization processes take place. One of the challenging methods for improving the performance of centrifugal compressors is to modify aerodynamic passage of gas in impellers in order to achieve better pressure ratio and efficiency. The aims of the current study are to evaluate geometry properties of the blades of the first or the second impeller and even the whole compressor...
Human Action Categorization using Spatiotemporal Features
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kasaei, Shohre (Supervisor)
Abstract
Recognizing human actions is an important and challenging topic in computer vision, which has important applications such as video surveillance and Indexing. From a computational perspective, actions can be defined as three-dimensional patterns, in space and in time which can be modeled using several representations. Action representations differ in visual information used in spatial dimensions (e.g., shape or appearance) and the representation of dynamics in time. The goal of this thesis is to develop new techniques and improve current results in action categorization. As such, using a general structure, three methods are proposed. In this structure, local spatio-temporal features are...

Abstract
New methods based on local spatio-temporal features have exhibited significant performance in action recognition. In these methods, feature selection plays an important role to achieve a superior performance. Actions are represented by local spatio-temporal features extracted from action videos. Action representations are then classified by applying a classifier (such as k-nearest neighbor or SVM). In this paper, we have proposed two feature weighting methods to better discriminate similar actions. We have proposed a definition of feature discrimination power to be used in the feature selection process. Our proposed weighting schemes have greatly improved the final categorization accuracy on...
Nowhere-zero and Zero-sum Flows in Graphs and Designs
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Akbari, Saieed (Supervisor)
Abstract
A flow for a graph or a combinatorial design is an element of the nullspace of its incidence matrix. For an integer r ≥ 2, an r-flow is a flow whose values belong to {±1;±2; : : : ;±(r - 1)} and for a real number r ≥ 2, a circular r-flow is a flow whose values are real numbers in the set [-(r- 1),-1]U[1, r - 1].In the context of undirected graphs, flows are called zero-sum flows. In the first part of this dissertation, we study circular zero-sum flows of graphs and prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a circular zero-sum r-flow in a graph in terms of its factors. Also, we investigate the minimum value of r for which a k-regular graph has a circular r-flow and...

Abstract
Properly adjusting the trim angle during the craft speed up will be extremely important in special cases as in sports competitions or military missions. In such applications, the goal of trim adjustment is to reach final speed in a minimum possible time which is an advantage to just passing the resistance hump. Present study tries to provide insight into how the angles of the drive system and trim tab of a planing craft should be changed during speed up so as to minimise the time to reach the final speed. This is a time-optimal control problem with the drive and trim tab angles as the control variables. Optimal control theory has been used previously for the motion control of marine vessels...

Abstract
Properly adjusting the trim angle during the craft speed up, plays an important role in easily passing through the resistance hump and to reach final speed in minimum possible time. Present study tries to reply to this question that how the angles applied to a trimmable drive system and trim tab of the planing craft should be changed during speed up from rest, to craft reach a final speed in minimum time. This is a time-optimal control problem with the drive and trim tab angles as its control variables. To solve this problem a 3-DOF dynamic model is developed here rely on empirical data and relations. For the propulsion system operation of propeller, drive and engine altogether are taken...

Abstract
Rolling-element bearing (REB) failure is one of the general damages in rotating machinery. In this manner, the correct prediction of remaining useful life (RUL) of REB is a crucial challenge to move forward the unwavering quality of the machines. One of the main difficulties in implementing data-driven methods for RUL prediction is to choose proper features that represent real damage progression. In this article, by using the outcomes of frequency analysis through the Envelope method, the initiated/existed defects on the ball bearings are identified. Also, new features based on developing faults of ball bearings is recommended to estimate RUL. Early-stage faults in ball bearings usually...

Abstract
It is several decades that the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) has been known to engineers. Many methods have been developed to estimate this effect, but modal analysis of soil-structure systems is one of the most popular techniques due to its simplicity and better insight. Due to this reasons, modal analysis found its place in codes and provisions such as NEHRP. Presence of soil beneath the structure not only would alter the natural periods and damping ratio of structure but also would impose some new vibration modes to the system due to soil’s degrees of freedom. Consequently, response of structure is a combination of the effects of all these modes. But, in practice,...

Estimation and Inference of Heterogeneous Treatment Effects using Random Forests
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Haji Mirsadeghi, Mir Omid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Sometimes, the relationship between two random variables is not a correlation, but, a causal relationship where only changes in one of the two variables can lead to changes in the second one. The importance of examining such cause-effect relationships lies in the fact that sometimes, beyond just knowing the correlation between two variables, we are looking for an active effect on one, and knowing whether or not other correlated variables will also change with the change of this variable is of key importance. Such a process of exploring and analyzing cause-effect relationships is called causal learning. Based on this, in this thesis, we will first review the methods of causal inference, as...

Abstract
In this paper, we will discuss two special classes of mathematical programming models with fuzzy random variables. In the first model, a linear programming problem with fuzzy decision variables and fuzzy random coefficients is introduced. Then an algorithm is developed to solve the model based on fuzzy optimization method and fuzzy ranking method. In the second model, a fuzzy random quadratic spanning tree problem is presented. Then the proposed problem is formulated and solved by using the scalar expected value of fuzzy random variables. Furthermore, illustrative numerical examples are also given to clarify the methods discussed in this paper
