Optimal Snake Locomotion by Regulating Normal Force Distribution
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Alasty, Aria (Supervisor) ; Pendar, Hodjat (Supervisor)
Abstract
A lack of appendages makes snake motions simpler in some respects than those of other locomoting animals. Most of the researches done in this area has assumed that the normal force distribution of the snake is uniform along its length. But, observations of snake locomotion show that snakes tend to lift their body during movement, which means they dynamically change the distribution of normal force along their body. In this study, we addressed this issue and succeeded in formulating the snake’s normal force distribution systematically. This project has been conducted in two stages. In the first stage, we speculated uniform normal force distribution and verified our snake model by comparing...
Data Stream Whole Clustering
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abolhassani, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Due to the application of data streams in various data sources such as Web click streams, Web pages, and data generated by sensors and satellites, data streams have attracted a huge attention recently. A data stream is an ordered sequence of points that must be accessed in order and can be read only once or a small number of times. For mining such data, the ability to process in one pass along with limited memory usage is very important. Data stream clustering also has received a huge attention in recent years and numerous algorithms are developed in this field. None of them has paid attention to the feature selection problem as an effective factor in clustering quality especially when the...
Structural Design of a Launch Vehicle with Reusable First Stage
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Haddadpour, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Aerodynamics loads and aeroheating during reentry, are one of the challenging issues in designing One of the main challenges in the design and application of reusable spacecrafts is the aerodynamic and thermal loads acting on their structures during reentry into the atmosphere. For this reason, all the concepts/prototypes presented in the 20th century were either not fully reusable, or were partially canceled, or did not have economic justification. In this report, the aerodynamic loads on the first stage of a launch vehicle during the launch and return phases have been investigated. Due to the fact that the main part of the first stage of the vehicle includes fuel and oxidizer tanks, the...

Abstract
The collision of moderately large asteroids and comets also referred to as Near-Earth Objects (NEO's) with earth would have catastrophic consequences. Such events have occurred in the past and may occur again in the future. However, for the first time in known history, humanity may have the technology required to counter this threat. Methods studied for mitigation of this hazard are based on deflecting asteroid's trajectory and are normally divided into two basic categories: high energy impulsive methods, and long-duration low-thrust methods. Two parts of mission to be optimized are the trajectory of spacecraft to reach the target and the deflection strategy which could be analyzed by the...
Gapless chiral excitons in thin films of topological insulators
, Article EPL ; Vol. 107, issue. 2 , 2014 ; ISSN: 02955075 ; Sharif University of Technology
2014
Abstract
In a nanoscopic thin film of a strong topological insulator (TI) the Coulomb interaction in the channel that exchanges the two electrons with the same chirality in two different planes of the slab takes advantage of the minus sign resulting from such "exchange" and gives rise to a bound state between the positive-energy states in one surface and the negative-energy states in the opposite surface. Therefore particle and hole pairs in the undoped Dirac cone of the TI thin film form an inter-surface spin-singlet state that lies below the continuum of free particle-hole pairs. This mode is similar to the excitons of semiconductors, albeit formed between the electron and hole pairs from two...
Collective excitations and the nature of Mott transition in undoped gapped graphene
, Article Journal of Physics Condensed Matter ; Volume 24, Issue 30 , 2012 ; 09538984 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
2012
Abstract
The particle-hole continuum (PHC) for massive Dirac fermions provides an unprecedented opportunity for the formation of two collective split-off states, one in the singlet and the other in the triplet (spin-1) channel, when the short-range interactions are added to the undoped system. Both states are close in energy and are separated from the continuum of free particle-hole excitations by an energy scale of the order of the gap parameter Δ. They both disperse linearly with two different velocities, reminiscent of spin-charge separation in Luttinger liquids. When the strength of Hubbard interactions is stronger than a critical value, the velocity of singlet excitation, which we interpret as a...
Nonlinear optical response in gapped graphene
, Article Journal of Physics Condensed Matter ; Volume 24, Issue 20 , 2012 ; 09538984 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
2012
Abstract
We present a formulation for the nonlinear optical response in gapped graphene, where the low-energy single-particle spectrum is modeled by massive Dirac theory. As a representative example of the formulation presented here, we obtain a closed form formula for the third harmonic generation in gapped graphene. It turns out that the covariant form of the low-energy theory gives rise to peculiar logarithmic singularities in the nonlinear optical spectra. The universal functional dependence of the response function on dimensionless quantities indicates that the optical nonlinearity can be largely enhanced by tuning the gap to smaller values
Exact phase boundaries and topological phase transitions of the XYZ spin chain
, Article Physical Review E ; Volume 96, Issue 1 , 2017 ; 24700045 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
2017
Abstract
Within the block spin renormalization group, we give a very simple derivation of the exact phase boundaries of the XYZ spin chain. First, we identify the Ising order along ◯ or ŷ as attractive renormalization group fixed points of the Kitaev chain. Then, in a global phase space composed of the anisotropy λ of the XY interaction and the coupling Δ of the Δσzσz interaction, we find that the above fixed points remain attractive in the two-dimesional parameter space. We therefore classify the gapped phases of the XYZ spin chain as: (1) either attracted to the Ising limit of the Kitaev-chain, which in turn is characterized by winding number ±1, depending on whether the Ising order parameter is...
Electric field assisted amplification of magnetic fields in tilted Dirac cone systems
, Article Physical Review B ; Volume 100, Issue 4 , 2019 ; 24699950 (ISSN) ; Sharif University of Technology
American Physical Society
2019
Abstract
We show that the continuum limit of the tilted Dirac cone in materials such as 8-Pmmn borophene and layered organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 corresponds to deformation of the Minkowski space-time of Dirac materials. From its Killing vectors we construct an emergent tilted-Lorentz (t-Lorentz) symmetry group for such systems. As an example of the t-Lorentz transformations we obtain the exact solution of the Landau bands for a crossed configuration of electric and magnetic fields. For any given tilt parameter 0≤ζ<1, if the ratio χ=vFBz/Ey of the crossed magnetic and electric fields satisfies χ≥1+ζ, one can always find appropriate t-boosts in both valleys labeled by τ=±1 in such a way that the...

Abstract
Dirac cone can be tilted in condensed matter setting. As a result of tilt, the Lorentz symmetry is reduced to what we call tilted-Lorentz symmetry. In this paper, we derive the tilted-Lorentz transformations that leave a world with tilted Dirac cone invariant. © 2020, Isfahan University of Technology. All rights reserved
Control of Car-Like Multi Robots for Following and Hunting of Moving Target
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Sayyaadi, Hassan (Supervisor) ; Salarieh, Hassan (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
The main purpose of the present thesis is to establish a decentralized controller for some car–like multi robots to follow and hunt moving targets. Robots are very similar to actual cars considering geometric dimensions, mass and moment of inertia and so on; and outputs of the controller are steering-wheel and driving-wheel torques appropriately. Dynamics of the moving target is so that it escapes from the robots. Robots are equipped with antenna for getting wireless sensory signals, including range and bearing sensors. Kalman filter is used for estimation the target relative position and speed and robots state variables. The controller is designed for doing the above mentioned group...

Hodge Theory on Algebraic Varieties
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jafari, Amir (Supervisor)
Abstract
Cohomology groups of complex algebraic varieties with coefficients in ℂ, can be considered more than just a vector space and they can equipped with various and rich linear algebra structures which are functorial with respect to morphisms between them. In this thesis we first review classic Hodge theory, Hodge decomposition and Lefschetz decomposition theorems which enable us to introduce the concept of pure Hodge structure on cohomology group H^n (X,C) of a compact Kähler manifold X. Then we define Frölicher spectral sequence for a complex manifold X and show that it will degenerate at E_1 when X is compact and Kähler. For generalization of pure Hodge structures to smooth non...
Neutral Spin Collective Mode in Carbon Nanotubes
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jafari, Akbar (Supervisor)
Abstract
In 2002 Baskaran and Jafari published an article that was about a spin-1 collective mode. Similarity between carbon nanotubes and graphene was a motivation for working on this project, in order to find another spin mode by considering random phase approximation as a simple way of finding collective motion of a physical systems. Moreover rolling graphene sheet induce diffrent physical properties as a result of chiral axis . In this project we focus only on achiral nanotubes and at last find two collective modes in this structures
The Arrow of Time in Physics
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Golshani, Mehdi (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
For more than a century, physicists have recognized the contrast between the asymmetry of thermodynamic phenomena and T-symmetry of the fundamental laws, and they have referred to it as the arrow of time. In this thesis we tried to give an overview of the past and present status of this problem, using various theories. It is shown that the problem becomes a question about the boundary conditions of thermodynamic systems, and then a question about cosmology, and finally it becomes the problem of initial conditions of universe. An analysis of initial condition theories is presented for knowing how each of them tries to solve the problem of arrow of time. Different views about the relationship...
On the Computational Complexity of Graph Problems
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jafari, Amir (Supervisor)
Abstract
Computational complexity of graph problems is an important branch in the-oretical computer science. We introduce to some of ideas for computing the complexity of graph problems with some kind and beautiful examples. Next, we show hardness and inapproximability of some problems. Representation number of graphs has been introduce by Pavel Erdos by Number theory. We prove n1−ϵ inapproximability of that. Lucky number η has been studied by Grytczuk et.al . We show for planar and 3-colorable graphs, it is NP-Complete whether η = 2. Note that since a conjecture, for those graphs, 2 ≤ η ≤ 3. Also for each k ≥ 2, we show NP-completeness of η ≤ k for the graphs. Proper orientation number −→ is a...

Abstract
In this thesis we review several arithmetical questions about the diophantine equation φ[x]=q where φ is a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form on a finite dimensional vector space, φ[x] is the corresponding quadratic form and q is a nonzero element of the ground field. We obtain class number and mass formulae for the orthogonal group associated to φ in a number field utilizing the concept of quadratic forms, lattices and adelic language
Measurement of the B-Tagging Efficiency in the CMS Experiment with the First LHC Collisions
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Ardalan, Farhad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Jets originating from bottom (b) quarks, play an important role in the study of Standard Model processes together with the search for new physics. In the CMS experiment a considerable e?ort is dedicated to the development and the performance study of so-called b-tagging algorithms. On the other hand, the top quark which is produced in pair (tt¯) with a high rate at the LHC, decays near 99% of the time to a b-quark. Hence it provides a rich source of b-quark jets, suitable for b-jet identi?cation studies. In this thesis, a fully data-driven method to measure the b-tagging e?ciency, using top quark events in its semi-electron ?nal state, is developed. The results of the application of the...
