Simulation of Monopile-Clay Soil Interaction for Offshore Wind Turbines
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Raie, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Monopiles are large-diameter with a typical diameter of 2 to 10 meters that are used for the base of offshore wind turbines. During its life, this structure is subjected to wind, wave, and sea currents, and due to the lateral displacement of the monopile, the wind turbine base structure with a considerable height can create the effect of "P-Δ". Therefore, accuracy in modeling and accurate estimation of monopile displacements and rotations is important. At present, the lateral design of monopiles is based on force-displacement (p-y) curves. P-y curves are semi-empirical curves based on experimental results obtained on piles with a diameter of less than one meter in different soils and under...
Investigation the Effect of Content and Plastisity of Plastic Fines on Liquefaction Resistance of Sand Using Cyclic Simple Shear Tests
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ahmadi, Mohammad Mehdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
Regarding the existing contrary in the literature in relation to the effect of plastic fine on sand liquefaction behaviour, we decided to study this effect. Amounts of 5, 15, and 25 percent of two types of plastic fine, Kaolinite with PI=19 and Bentonite with PI=116 added to Firoozkooh Sand and 68 stress controlled tests were conducted using cyclic simple shear apparatus. In all teste the frequency of shear loading and consolidating vertical effective stress were constant and 0.1 Ht and 100 kPa respectively. Reaching excess pore water pressure ratio to the maximum value (r_u=Max) and reaching double amplitude shear strain to the value of 5% have been considered as liquefaction critera. In...

Modeling and Solution Algorithm for Multi-Path Railroad Blocking Problem under Demand and Travel Time Uncertainty
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Shafahi, Yousef (Supervisor)
Abstract
The railroad blocking problem emerges as an important issue at the tactical level of planning in freight rail transportation. This problem consists of determining the paths of each shipment which minimize the total cost subject to the key constraints such as limitation on travel time, limitation on number of dispatched trains, and limitation on the number of cars classified at each station. The multi-path railroad blocking model is developed and then a new heuristic algorithm based on the Lagrangian relaxation technique to solve the realistic rail network is introduced.To consider the uncertainty which is inherent in the demand and travel time (as a supply indicator of rail system), a...

Shafahi, Yousef
(Supervisor)
Abstract
Optimum railroad alignment, which can be categorized into continuous problems, has been a conundrum for engineers because of two reasons: At the first, there is a wide variety of information that is necessary for finding optimum one. Secondly, the major costs of a railway, such as length-dependent, traffic-dependent, volume-dependent and location-dependent are affected by the numerous factors so that, it may be difficult to formulate them. In order to solve large scale continuous optimization problems, there are two approaches: firstly, such problems may be tackled with a combinatorial optimization algorithm, e.g. ant colony optimization (ACO), by the continuous range of allowed values are...
Harvesting of Aquatic Clean Energy from Vortex Induced Vibration Using Two Degree Of Freedom Cylindrical Oscillator and Piezoelectric
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Raie, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Vortex-induced vibration is a known phenomenon in fluids flow that is being studied in different fields of engineering and usually, we want to reduce the harmful effects of this phenomenon on the subjected structures. Also, it is possible to use this phenomenon for harvesting clean energy from fluids flow. Energy harvesting from vortex-induced vibrations is based on the maximizing of flow instead of its reduction, and the utilization of these vibrations instead of their suppression. Vortex induced vibrations occur in any ranges of Reynolds numbers. Only in three transient regions cause a reduction in vortex-induced vibrations; therefore, even in streams with a velocity less than 0.2 m/s, it...
Experimental Modeling of Influence of Exhaust Gas Recirculation on Flameless Combustion
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghorbanian, Kaveh (Supervisor) ; Farshchi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The aim of this work is to design, build and test a laboratory scale flameless combustion chamber. Also, a theoretical model is developed to simulate flameless combustion with a simple model. Flameless combustion is a combustion type with transparent flame which consumes less fuel than typical premix and diffusion flames and emits very low level of NOx. In flameless combustion, recirculation ratio is higher than typical diffusion flames so the flow field is highly turbulent. High recirculation ratio causes low oxygen concentration in combustion zone; thus requiring inlet air to be preheated for flame stabilization at low equivalence ratio and oxygen concentration. We have designed a...
A Study of Management Policies of Shared Resources in Modern SSDs with Multi-Programming
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sarbazi Azad, Hamid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Solid State Drives (SSDs) have an electronic architecture based on non-volatile memories. The unique merit of a SSD is its internal parallelism. Thus, adopting SSDs as the storage media in the storage systems in various devices, such as smart phones, personal computers, large workstations, and etc., improves the performance of the device, substantially. However, the conventional host interface protocols in SSDs, i.e. SATA and SAS, have critical limitations, like low bus bandwidth (maximum 12Gbps), and a single shared request queue. With such limitations, the host interface turns into a performance bottleneck in conventional SSDs. Therefore, the high performance provided by such SSDs cannot...

Abstract
Nerve repositioning surgery is one of the treatments chosen for the patients with edentulous posterior atrophic mandible. Like any other treatments, this therapy has its advantages and disadvantages, indications and contraindications. The most important complication of this procedure is neurosensory disturbance. This problem may occur at different stages of the treatment. One common time when nerve damage happens is when the nerve is located outside the canal and drilling and insertion of the implant are performed. Accordingly, this report describes a simple and feasible method to retract and protect nerves outside the canal during the treatment of nerve transposition. This will reduce the...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghorshi, Mohammad Ali (Supervisor) ; Khayyat, Amir Ali Akbar (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) will be used in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) instead of Hidden Markov Models (HMM). Hidden Markov Model is one of the most dominant Bayesian network technologies and is the most successful model in current ASR systems. However, excessive training time is a major issue in speech recognition based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM). This thesis presents an Artificial Neural Network language model for human speech by mapping the spectral features of speech namely the formants, cepstrum (Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs)) and Power Spectral Density (PSD) as features of samples of specific words into a discrete vector space. The...

Abstract
As an essential step of product design, tolerance design plays a critical role in reducing manufacturing costs while ensuring mechanical assemblies’ quality and reliability. However, existing tolerance allocation approaches only are concentrated on design specification constraints during the design stage, although component degradation caused by environmental and operating conditions increases the probability of product failure during the service life. To deal with the degradation effect arising over the service life of mechanical assemblies, this paper proposes a reliability-based tolerance design approach to allocate optimal, reliable tolerances to mechanical systems. The proposed approach...
