In this research the attitude control of a flexible launch vehicle using fractional order proportional-integral-derivative controller in the presence of actuators failures is described. Other work done in this study is the investigation of on-line fault detection and diagnosis effects in the attitude control of flexible launch vehicle in the presence of actuator failures. Rigid-elastic equations of motion and assumed modes have been used to simulate dynamics of launch vehicle in the Simulink environment of MATLAB software using two elastic bending modes. The performance of fractional order controller has been compared with conventional proportional-integral-derivative and adaptive augmented... 

We study the quantum transport properties of three dimensional Dirac materials within the framework of Landauer–Büttiker formalism. Charge carriers in normal metal satisfying the Schrödinger equation, can be split into four-component with appropriate matching conditions at the boundary with the three dimensional Dirac material (3DDM).We calculate the conductance and the Fano factor of an interface separating 3DDM from a normal metal, as well as the conductance through a slab of 3DDM. Under certain circumstances the 3DDM appears transparent to electrons hitting the 3DDM. We find that electrons hitting the metal-3DDM interface from metallic side can enter 3DDM in a reversed spin state as soon... 

A highly reliable tool for transient simulation is vital in the safety analysis of a nuclear reactor. Despite this fact most tools still use diffusion theory and point-kinetics that involve many approximations such as discretization in space, energy, angle and time. However, Monte Carlo method inherently overcomes these restrictions and provides an appropriate foundation to accurately calculate the parameters of a reactor. For this reason, in this thesis, a dynamic Monte Carlo code named MCSP (Monte Carlo dynamic Simulation of Particles tracking) is developed for both the steady state and time-dependent simulation of particle (neutrons, photons and electrons) tracking in an arbitrary 3D... 

In this work we studied the interaction of a high frequency electromagnetic wave in under relativistic and relativistic regims with a plasma taking into account of the ponderomotive fo per unit volume acting on plasma electrons.In under relativistic regim at first we assumed the plasma is collisionless, unmagnetized and non isothermal which occupying the semi - space Z 0 .We found the nonlinear differential equation for the electric field using theMaxwell and hydrodynamic equations.We obtain the profiles of the electric and magnetic fields in plasma and we see that the electron density oscillations appear highly peaked. Then in this regim a direct one dimensional (1D) procedure for... 

Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI with high biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, has a lot of applications in biomedical engineering. Disadvantage of this alloy is it’s disability to create a fast and good contact with the host/bone environment, after implanting in the body. Beside that it has low wear resistance. Nowadays to optimize the wear resistance, bioactivity and osteoconduction of surface of implants which are made from this alloy, the surface morphology are optimized in size and distribution. Different surface treatments are used for producing rough and porous surfaces to improve bioactivity along with wear resistance. In this study, surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V ELI was done... 

Commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) is an important groups of titanium family and because of high strength, low density, high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, this group of titanium is a suitable choice for application at chemical, petrochemical and medicine industry. Nowadays surgeons have a tendency toward use of CP-Ti instead of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Moreover, because of body anatomy limitation, use of thick sheets result in high volume and damage soft tissue. Therefore, for sheet thickness reduction, study of the effects of metallurgical and geometrical parameter on fracture behavior of thin sheets is important. In this study, the fracture behavior of CP-Ti thin sheets investigated.... 

Adiabatic logic families are a group of logic circuits which operate based on adiabatic principles to tremendously reduce power consumption. These families have basic difference with common logic families in transistor level structure and there signals are not quadrangular but trapezoidal. Also, in these systems the source lines and clock pulse are the same. Research on Adiabatic families needs theoretical information in reversible computing. So we will start this project with explaining fundamental information in this field. After that some of these logic families are introduced and three important and widely used of them (SCRL-RERL-2LAL) are chosen to simulate. In each of these families... 

Various composite friction materials containing 40 vol.% organic binder (phenolic resin plus styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR)) with varying phenolic-resin/SBR ratio were prepared. The content of phenolic resin in each composite was indicated by the resin value (RV) index ranging between 0-100%. The composites with RVs greater than 50% form resin-based friction materials in which the primary binder is the phenolic resin. For RVs less than 50%, the composites become the rubber-based materials where the primary binder is the SBR. The analysis of mechanical properties exhibited that the conformability of the composites increases upon incorporation of SBR. The frictional analysis revealed that type... 

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
