Abstract
An assessment study of two different shunt FACTS devices for compensating disturbances due to voltage variation in power systems is presented in this paper. Namely, Static Compensator (STATCOM) and Static Var Compensator (SVC) are Considered in this study. Eigen Value analysis and nonlinear time domain simulations for starting motor, motor in load varying state and short circuit on motor terminals show that STATCOM DC Voltage regulation has a better performance Compared to that of SVC. The result that will be presented in the paper will prove the superiorly of STATCOM over SVC in increasing motor speeding up and improving system voltage profile particularly at starting. © 2005 IEEE
Semi-empirical modelling of hydraulic conductivity of clayey soils exposed to deionized and saline environments
, Article Journal of Contaminant Hydrology ; Volume 249 , 2022 ; 01697722 (ISSN) ; Sadeghi, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Clay liners are widely used as porous membrane barriers to control solute transport and to prevent the leakage of leachate both in horizontal and vertical flow scenarios, such as the isolated base and ramps of sanitary landfills. Despite the primary importance of saturated hydraulic conductivity in a reliable simulation of fluid flow through clay barriers, there is no model to predict hydraulic conductivity of clayey soils permeated with saline aqueous solutions because most of the current models were developed for pure water. Therefore, the main motivation behind this study is to derive semi-empirical models for simulating the hydraulic conductivity of clayey soils in the presence of...

Abstract
As a primary step of establishment of an extensive air shower array consisting 20 scintillation detectors we optimized an individual detector. Square shaped scintillators are placed under a metal pyramid Light Enclosure with a photomultiplier tube (PMT) at the vertex of it. A set of experiments are performed to optimize the height of light enclosures by comparing 4 different heights 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 m. These experiments are supported by a Monte Carlo simulation of detection process. In this article, by considering experimental and simulation results we concluded that 20 cm is an optimum height for light enclosures

Abstract
This paper presents an evaluation of two distinct techniques to improve energy absorption capability of an accordion cellular structure with close-to-zero Poisson's ratio. For this purpose, fiber-reinforcement and foam-filling methods were employed to address the material enhancement and to obtain light and tough structures with high specific energy absorption. Employing an innovated additive manufacturing based on material extrusion process, specimens of glass fiber-reinforced PLA were produced in both in-plane directions to compare with the un-reinforced counterpart. In continue, some of the 3D printed samples were strengthened by means of polyurethane foam in their hollow structure. The...
MIMO SAR Ground Moving Target Indication via Compressed Sensing
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mashhadi, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a coherent imaging technique capable of generating fine resolution images from long term standoff ranges, either day or night. The use of multiple antennas for SAR is referred to as multichannel SAR or Multiple-Input Multiple-Output(MIMO) SAR and offers the additional abilities to perform height estimation of the ground, improve the resolution and suppress undesired interferences. Ground moving target indication (GMTI) is the one that we explored in this research. Since the pattern of moving target in imaging zone is sparse, we can use compressed sensing for reducing computational complexity caused by additional channels. In our thesis, after modelling the...

Abstract
The steady 2-D boundary layer flow over a flat plate is studied analytically by homotopy perturbation method to analyze the entropy generation inside the boundary layer with constant wall temperature. By the transformations of go-verning equations including continuity, momentum, and energy by similarity va-riables, a dimensionless equation for entropy generation inside the boundary layer is obtained. The effects of important parameters such as Reynolds and Eck-ert numbers are investigated and the physical interpretations of the results are explained in details

Abstract
In this paper a new IR-UWB pulse generator circuit is proposed which is capable of solving the coexistence problem of narrowband and ultra wideband communication systems. This is done by creating a notch in the PSD of the generated UWB signal and adjusting its center frequency at the frequency of the narrowband interference. Using a triangular pulse generator, a triangular signal is generated and applied to the proposed circuit which consists of three main function blocks including quadratic, exponential and differentiator circuits. A differential pair MOS transistors in sub threshold region is utilized in order to realize the exponential block. The circuit is designed using a 0.18-μm RF...

Abstract
The unique properties of modified Hermite pulses is utilized to develop a novel pulse technique for Ultra Wideband (UWB) communications. The proposed method increases the bandwidth of the pulse up to 10 GHz and overcomes the coexistence problem of UWB and vulnerable narrowband systems through suppressing narrowband interference. Consequently it improves the range of UWB communications by increasing the power, without disturbing the narrowband systems. The pulse technique is implemented in high frequency pulse generation circuits and could be fully integrated in BiCMOS process. The nulls of the frequency response are tuned to be located in a definite narrowband system with the number of the...

Abstract
Previously it was shown that the most important inclination of the EAS events due to geomagnetic field is the effect over the secondary particles of them and the contribution of the primary is so small [1]. These secondary particles are mostly e± and μ ±, so we limited our study over these particles. It was simulated over 520,000 EAS events with (ON) and without (OFF) geomagnetic field for our site (B0 = 28:1 μT i + 38:4 μT k, h = 1200m a.s.l.). It is observed a quite North-South anisotropy in ON events and a quite random anisotropy in OFF events. This anisotropy is comparable with the recorded results in our site (ALBORZ observatory), but the simulated anisotropy is a little more than the...

Abstract
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems are so popular in aerial imaging because of their high resolution. Ground moving target indication (GMTI) is one of the most challenging problems in this field. The use of multiple antennas in transmit and receive is an innovative idea that can overcome the limitations of SAR systems. In this paper, after modelling the received signal and focusing it, we propose an algorithm for GMTI with the use of compressed sensing. The proposed algorithm has low complexity compared to similar algorithms. Simulation results show that this approach is accurate in estimation of positions and velocities of moving targets. © 2018 IEEE

Coordinated Tuning of Power System Stabilizer in Iran Power Grid for Damping Local and InterArea Oscilation
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Parniani, Mostafa (Supervisor)
Abstract
Power systems aredynamic and complex systems that are always subject to continuous changes and disturbance. Power system stability is a requirement for its satisfactory utilization. High speed Automatic voltage controllers with high gain tend to deteriorate both the electromechanical oscillation damping and small signal stability margin. Power system stabilizer (PSS) is a complementary controller that uses exciter voltage reference modulation to improve the electromechanical oscillation damping and stability margin. Optimal operation of PSS requires appropriate tuning according to the grid and power plant characteristics. In a largepower grid, absence or improper tuning of PSSs may cause one...

Vibration Control of Micro-Satellite Shelves Using Shpae Memory Alloy
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abedian, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Dynamic properties such as the natural frequency of a structure have a significant role in the design process. The importance of this consideration is because of resonance. In this case, the amplitude of the vibration is magnified to levels that may lead to a catastrophic event. While the usual design process depends on the collected experiences and statistical data, a developing trend is to implement smart technologies to develop smart structures that are capable of self-monitoring, diagnostics and repair. Smart material components such as shape memory alloys (SMAs) and piezoelectric ceramics are increasingly being used by vibration control practitioners. Shape memory alloys are applied as...
Coupled Hydro-chemical Modelling of Soluble Contaminant Transport Through Saturated Clay
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sadeghi, Hamed (Supervisor)
Abstract
Leaking of leachate contamination into the clayey isolation layer at the bottom of the landfills is one of the most important environmental issues, which influences living creatures' lives by affecting groundwater quality. Coupled phenomena that play a role in contamination and fluid transportation in a saturated clayey layer are hydraulic and osmotic flow, diffusion and convection. The targeted contaminate of leachate is monovalent salts. The clayey layer is also saturated. According to the governing differential equation, membrane efficiency and hydraulic conductivity coefficients highly affect the contamination transport. Experimental results and existing models have shown that these...
An Intelligent Triangular Pattern Recognition in Stock Price Charts
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fazli, Mohammad Amin (Supervisor)
Abstract
Stock price patterns are a technical analysis approach to forecast future trends with tremendous practical benefits. However, the current algorithms solely rely on machine learning techniques and deep neural networks which could be a problem in countries where data sets such as these are not available. We propose an algorithm based on geometry and mathematics for this problem, leading to an O(n^3logn + n^2k) complexity, where k is the number of triangular patterns

Abstract
At ALBORZ Observatory in Tehran (51° 200 , 35 ° 430' , 1200 m) we accumulated a complete year of data by a 4-fold square array of Water Cherenkov Detectors (WCDs) with the side 6.08 m. It is recorded about 800,000 fine EAS events from 2006/11/12 to 2007/11/20 by the approximate recording rate of 0.03. Time differences between each two, three, four, five and ... have a very good agreement with gammafunction, which shows the correct random nature of the events. Of course we expect that about less than 1% of the EAS events (≤9000 events) be electromagnetic and naturally not random, but the contribution is so small. Then by Farley/Storey procedure [1] we found a signature of real sidereal data....

Abstract
In this work the effects of backwash pressure, duration of acid and sodium hydroxide backwashing, sodium hydroxide concentration, and the duration of forward washing on performance of permeate flux recovery (PFR) were investigated. A two-level fractional factorial design (FFD) was used to design the experiments. The ability of back propagation neural network (BPNN) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) in predicting the performance of cleaning-in-place (CIP) of hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) membrane were investigated. It is found that BPNN has better ability in predicting the PFR performance than RBFNN. The best architecture of BPNN was a network consisting of 1 hidden layer...
