Numerical properties of second order integration algorithms for plasticity models
, Article Research and Applications in Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation - Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation, SEMC 2013 ; 2013 , Pages 443-448 ; 9781138000612 (ISBN) ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Investigating the behavior of materials in plastic limit is very important in different fields of engineering. Due to the simplicity of implementation and numerical stability, implicit types of algorithms are conventionally used to deal with plasticity problems. The backward Euler method as a first order accurate algorithm has proven very efficient for integrating the rate form of differential equations governing the behavior of different plasticity models. However, it is desirable to have algorithms with superior performance and quadratic rate of convergence compared with backward Euler method. Many second order integration algorithms have been proposed in the literature which are majorly...

Abstract
In this work four algorithms are presented for the integration of equations governing the behavior of von Mises material in plastic limit. Two of them are single-step and the others are double-step algorithms. Single-step algorithms are straight forward extension of backward Euler method or midpoint rule while double-step algorithms are a combination of two. In past similar algorithms were proposed for special cases of isotropic/kinematic hardening; however the algorithms presented in this work are applicable to general isotropic/kinematic hardening laws. Theoretical as well as numerical aspects are presented for all integration schemes and elaborated for double-step algorithms which are...

Abstract
In this article, a new mixed finite element formulation is presented for the analysis of two-dimensional compressible solids in finite strain regime. A three-field Hu–Washizu functional, with displacement, displacement gradient and stress tensor considered as independent fields, is utilized to develop the formulation in spatial configuration. Certain constraints are imposed on displacement gradient and stress tensor so that they satisfy the required continuity conditions across the boundary of elements. From theoretical standpoint, simplex elements are best suited for the application of continuity constraints. The techniques that are proposed to implement the constraints facilitate their...
Plastic Analysis of Two Dimensional Frames using Ant Colony Algorithms
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jahanshahi, Mohsen (Supervisor)
Abstract
In previous decades, easy access to material and low cost human power allow the product process to be performed in a preferred way. The limit in amount of material, economy, and the efficiency of the model has not been influential like these days. Today, the effective use of material and consideration of an economic model have great importance. It is obvious that a process of designing implies optimizing which the range of its using is also continuing in many engineering sciences. Many optimization issues contain discrete nature. Many of searching spaces that we encounter in the real world applications are not necessarily continuous as a condition which has crucial importance for classic...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jahanshahi, Mohsen (Supervisor)
Abstract
In recent years, the application of base isolation as a seismic design strategy for reducing the effects of earthquake ground motion has become an advantageous method and much effort has been devoted to base isolation research and there has been a growing acceptance of this approach. In this research, the effect of using base isolators in reducing the dynamic forces of piers and abutments of bridges is studied. More specifically double-span bridges are the target of this research. After modeling a regular bridge in a typical analysis program, it is excited by different earthquake accelerograms and then the effect of using base isolators in dissipating the earthquake energy is investigated

Abstract
The investigation of plastic behavior and determining the collapse load factors are the important ingredients of every kinematical method that is employed for plastic analysis and design of frames. The determination of collapse load factors depends on many effective parameters such as the length of bays, height of stories, types of loads and plastic moments of individual members. As the number of bays and stories increases, the parameters that have to be considered make the analysis a complex and tedious task. In such a situation, the role of algorithms that can help to compute an approximate collapse load factor in a reasonable time span becomes more and more crucial. Due to their...

Abstract
There are a number of Artificial In elligence (AI) algorithms for implementation of 'Blokus Duo' game. We needed an implementation on FPGA, and moreover, the design had to respond under a given time constraint. In this paper we examine some of these algorithms and propose a heuristic algorithm to solve the problem by considering intelligence, time constraint and FPGA implementation limitations

Abstract
The ever-increasing growth of nano-technology has elevated the necessity for development of new computational methods that are capable of evaluating large systems at nano-scale. The existing techniques, such as the molecular dynamics, lack the ability to simulate large systems of practical size and time scales. In order to provide a realistic simulation of large models, the multi-scale methods such as coarse-graining, have therefore become very popular. The coarse-grained models have mostly been used to simulate large biomolecules, such as proteins, lipids, DNA and polymers. In this paper, the Iterative Boltzmann Inversion (IBI) coarse-graining technique is applied to FCC nano-crystals; the...

, Article Mechanics of Materials ; Volume 140 , January , 2020 ; Ahmadi, H ; Khoei, A. R ; Sharif University of Technology
Elsevier B.V
2020
Abstract
In this paper, a continuum–atomistic multi-scale method is presented in modeling the nonlinear behavior of nano-materials under large deformation. In order to identify an appropriate strain energy function for crystalline nano-structures with different percentages of spherical voids, the hyperelastic method is employed for specimen whose behavior is determined based on the molecular dynamics analyses. In the atomistic level, the EAM many-body potential is employed to model the interactions between the atoms of Al RVEs. The atomistic strain energy density curves and surfaces are generated by applying the uniaxial, biaxial and simple shear deformations to the boundaries of RVEs. The material...
A new model for estimation of the critical properties of alkanes

Abstract
A simple model is proposed to estimate the critical properties of alkanes-temperature, pressure, and volume. This model is dependent on normal boiling and molecular weight of hydrocarbons. The model has been expanded based on a Taylor series in the form of a polynomial function of normal boiling. Because methane has the simplest structure among hydrocarbons, this model has been calculated around methane. The coefficients of this model were assumed in the form of a linear function of molecular weight. These parameters can be obtained from regression between experimental results and results from this model. By a comparison of this model and previous models, it is shown that this model is...

Abstract
A scheme for deterministic secure direct communication based on ping-pong protocol without restricting the security control only to a distinct control mode and debate via classical channel is proposed. It utilizes an entangled pair of qubits and presents a higher bit-rate transfer of information together with a higher security than ping-pong protocol. The security of protocol is enhanced by introducing a control factor for each message mode. It is explicitly showed that the protocol has a high degree of security against a class of individual attacks, and successfully resolves the famous Wojcik attack

Abstract
In this paper, a hierarchical multi-scale technique is developed to investigate the thermo-mechanical behavior of nano-crystalline structures in the presence of edge dislocations. The primary edge dislocations are generated by proper adjustment of atomic positions to resemble discrete dislocations. The interatomic potential used to perform atomistic simulation is based on the Finnis-Sinclair embedded-atom method as many-body potential and, the Nose-Hoover thermostat is employed to control the effect of temperature. The strain energy density function is obtained for various representative volume elements under biaxial and shear loadings by fitting a fourth order polynomial in the atomistic...
Properties Evaluation of Self-Consolidating Concrete Containing Rice Husk Ash
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jahanshahi, Mohsen (Supervisor) ; Shams, Mohammad Reza (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
The Self-Consolidating (Compacting) Concrete (SCC) is a high performance concrete. Due to preventing it from segregation, SCC is known by its need to higher dosage of super plasticizer and viscose modifying agents. This increases the cost and reduces the popularity of SCC in construction industry. In this thesis, the production of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) from a controlled burning process using a special designed furnace, and cement replacement feasibility in the concrete mixture by low cost RHA, as an active pozzulanic additive have been investigated. Finding an appropriate ratio of replacement with cement for RHA and further effects on mechanical properties of SCC have been evaluated. The...
Determination of the Plastic Zone at the Tip of a Crack in Pressure-Sensitive Materials Using RKPM
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mohammadi Shoja, Hossein (Supervisor) ; Jahanshahi, Mohsen (Supervisor)
Abstract
This project presents an outline of the crack tip stress fields in the presence of a plastic enclave around a growing fatigue crack using RKPM and Drucker-Prager criterion for pressure sensitive materials such as concrete and rock. Two distinguished features of RKPM are the arbitrarily high order smoothness and the interpolation property of the shape function which has kronecker delta property at the associated nodes. This method has proved to handle extreme material deformation and moving discontinuities. For the frictional materials such as rock in geotechnical engineering, a non-associated or associated Drucker- Prager plasticity model is appropriate for modeling its constitutive...
Application of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) in Re-Centering the Base-Isolated Steel Structures under Near Field Earthquake Excitation
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rahimzadeh Rofooei, Fayaz (Supervisor) ; Jahanshahi, Mohsen (Supervisor)
Abstract
Base isolation system is an efficient passive structural control approach to save the structures from the harms of earthquakes. The base isolated systems help to reduce the base shear by increasing the period of the structures, as well as dissipating the seismic input energy by its inherent damping mechanism [1]. However, the residual displacement of the base isolation systems resulted from strong ground motions would remain as a main obstacle in its regular serviceability after the main event. In that regard different isolating devices have been introduced to resolve the problem of the remaining permanent displacement. On the other hand, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are among the newly...
