Abstract
Structural, microstructural and mechanical properties in roll bonding of AA5052 and polypropylene sheets have been evaluated in this study. The surface roughness of the AA5052 sheets, rolling temperature and the surface energy of polymer were selected as the bonding variables. The findings indicated that an increase in the surface energy of polypropylene by grafting maleic anhydride would result in higher bonding strength due to chemical interaction between the AA5052 and the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH). In fact, this reaction caused the formation of an interphase layer at the polymer side of the interface and the diffusion of aluminum into the PP-g-MAH layer. It was...

Physical Modeling of Metal Matrix Composite Sheets With Second Phase Manufactured by Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) of Al-Ni Laminations
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Akbarzadeh, Abbas (Supervisor)
Abstract
Metallic multilayer composites provide remarkable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. These kinds of composites have been recently processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods. Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) is one of the SPD processes in which accumulation of strain by repeating cycles, leads to the ultra fine grained materials. The goal of this research is manufacturing of Al/Ni composite sheets by ARB process considering the effects of thickness and number of initial sheets on their mechanical properties and microstructures. The initial composites were produced by commercially pure Al and Ni as the matrix and the reinforcement, respectively. Thickness of the Al...
Evaluation of Bonding and Mechanical Properties of Metal-Polymer Sheets Manufactured by Roll Bonding
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Akbarzadeh, Abbas (Supervisor) ; Kokabi, Amir Hossein (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Emission of the greenhouse gases is a great concern and use of lightweight materials in transport vehicles has found a major importance in this respect. Metal/polymer laminated composites are of great interest due to their special mechanical properties and thoughness. Application of metal/polymer sheets is limited because of low bonding strength of metals and polymers in these sheets, which is not sufficient, to endure the stresses and strains during deformation processes such as deep drawing and bending. In this research, roll bonding of AA5052/Polypropylene sheets is investigated and the effects of bonding parameters on strength are evaluated and finally the bonding mechanisms during...

, Article Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Computer Design: VLSI in Computers and Processors ; 2011 , Pages 433-434 ; 10636404 (ISSN) ; 9781457719523 (ISBN) ; Modarressi, M ; Sarbazi Azad, H ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
As the semiconductor industry advances to the deep sub-micron and nano technology points, the on-chip components are more prone to the defects during manufacturing and faults during system operation. Consequently, fault tolerant techniques are essential to improve the yield of modern complex chips. We propose a fault-tolerant routing algorithm that keeps the negative effect of faulty components on the NoC power and performance as low as possible. Targeting intermittent faults, we achieve fault tolerance by employing a simple and fast mechanism composed of two processes: NoC monitoring and route adaption. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique, in that it offers...
Dynamic Modeling and Congestion Control in Computer Networks
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Jahangir, Amir Hossein (Supervisor) ; Ebrahim, Behrouz (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Active queue management (AQM) is a key factor in congestion control and should provide appropriate feedback for flow control in traffic sources to overcome the congestion problem. Beside providing congestion control, achieving predictable queuing delay, maximizing link utilization, simplicity and robustness are also the main objectives of an AQM controller. We propose in this thesis an improved queue dynamic model while incorporating the packet drop probability as well. The proposed model is evaluated using ns2 platform. By applying the improved model, a new compensated proportionalintegral- derivative (PID) AQM controller is developed for TCP network. The time-varying nature of the network...

Determination of Optimum Material and Thickness of Filter Based on Radiation Energy in Digital Industrial Radiography (CR) Using MCNP Monte Carlo Simulation Code
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Vosoughi, Naser (Supervisor) ; Rokrok, Behrouz (Supervisor) ; Movafeghi, Amir (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
In this study, the effect of external filter on the various parameters of image quality in digital industrial radiography by CR method for steel and aluminum piece has been investigated. The filter reduces the noise of scattered beams by absorbing the low-energy beams in the X-ray spectrum that are most likely to be scattered, but high filter thicknesses can attenuate the more energetic beams and have a negatively effect on the image quality. On the other hand, the absorption of those low-energy beams increases the average spectrum energy and thus reduce the contrast, so it is necessary to use the appropriate material and thickness of the filter. For this purpose, to examine the filter...

Abstract
This thesis represents the obstacle avoidance of a fixed-wing small aircraft using optical flow information of cameras mounted on the aircraft. The thesis consists of two main sections. In section one, the ideal optical flow has been simulated based on the camera model, complete six DOF of flight equations, and the geometry of the environment. An analytical formula has been derived to relate the obstacle detection distance to the maneuverability of the aircraft. Having the obstacle detection distance, the control and navigation algorithms have been developed to achieve a collision-free flight for the aircraft in urban canyons and junctions. The effect of some parameters such as approach...

Capacitor setting and reconfiguration are of main means of loss reduction and voltage profile improvement in distribution system operation. Cooperation between these two strategies can effectively minimize power losses in distribution system automation. Also, from the medium and long term viewpoint, capacitor placement and reconfiguration can be used for loss reduction and reliability enhancement. In this section, the sum of losses cost, capacitor investment cost and reliability cost should be minimized. Regarding the need to solve two non-linear combinatorial optimization problems simultaneously, metaheuristic algorithms are used in this thesis. Specifically, Elitist Genetic Algorithm,...
Design of Robust Digital Circuits Against Soft Errors Considering Multiple Event Transients Fault (METs)
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Miremadi, Ghasem (Supervisor)
Abstract
Nowadays, one of the most important challenges in the design of digital circuits is their susceptibility to the strike of high energy particles which leads to the Single Event Transient (SET) and Multiple Event Transients (MET). In fact, technology scaling which results in lower supply voltage, higher operating frequency, and lower nodal capacitance, makes today’s digital circuits more susceptible not only to high energy particles but also to low energy particles. Moreover emerging deep sub-micron technologies and the integration of more cells in today’s chips have caused higher probability of MET occurrences. A lot of research has tried to reduce the soft error rate due to high energy...
Using Time Series and Planning Uncertain Demand in Supply Chain with System Dynamics Approach
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kianfar, Farhad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the field of supply chain, management constantly seeks to adopt strategies for realizing its targeted objectives. The supply chain, therefore, includes integrated production-distribution processes with all effective parts where proper management requires a comprehensive and dynamic approach. It is necessary to meet required items at required time. This becomes more important with the supply systems providing items. On the other hand, the difficulty of supply chain management, decisions, and policy-making can be increased by a wide range of conditions such as changes in demand. Thus, a comprehensive approach is needed to take the present dynamics into account. The current paper develops a...

The existing transmission line models of plasmonic nanostructures are modified in this thesis to study the electromagnetic characteristics of nano-plasmonic structures in a more efficeint yet accurate enough fashion. First, rectangular plasmonic cavities made by carving dielectric rectangles within a metallic region are modeled by trasnmission lines of finite length being appropriately terminated at their both ends. The resonance conditon in the proposed model yeilds the resonance frequencies, quality factors, and mode profiles of its correspondig plasmonic resonator.

This structure can be used for non-minimum phase and stochastic processes. Robust stability of the suggested control structure has been shown. Performance of the proposed method is compared with previous works through computer simulations and its superiority for robust stability, load rejection; set-point tracking...
Numerical Analysis of an Afterburner Combustion Stability
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Farshchi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Inlet flow of afterburners comes from the burnt products of the primary combustion chamber. The fuel is injected and the mixture is ignited to form a flame which is stabilized behind a flameholder in the afterburner. Flame stability stems from wake (recirculation zone) of flameholder. With the aid of high residence time of flow behind the flameholder reactants get the time to catch activation energy. Some parameters like oxygen content, mass flow rate, inlet temperature, and nozzle area ratio play an important role in afterburner combustion efficiency and flame stability. In this study we focused on afterburner combustion stability in GE J85-21 engine. This engine will be in service through...
The Role of Position Space in Measurement Process in Bohmian Mechanics
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Golshani, Mehdi (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the early time of the discovery of the quantum mechanics and some decades after that, various interpretations of quantum mechanics were proposed. However, many years after that, the “indetermenistic” perspective well-known for Copenhagen perspective which was proposed mostly by Bohr and his colleagues became the dominant attitude among physicists. But nearly two decades after the fixation point of the Copenhagen perspective, a new interpretation of quantum mechanics was proposed by Bohm which was nonlocal but deterministic and it could reproduce all the predictions of quantum mechanics.Bohm’s theory responded to the many theoretical and philosophical objections assumed to the Copenhagen...
