Abstract
The anisotropic (Nd,MM)2(Fe,Co,Ni)14B-type magnets were produced using the binary alloy sintering method (MM denotes a Misch-metal). The composition of the master alloy was close to stoichiometric Nd2Fe14B compound, while that of the sintering aid was MM38.2Co46.4Ni15.4. The microstructures of sintered magnets were investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDX). X-ray diffractometry (XRD) was also employed for phase analysis. The optimum magnetic properties were obtained for a composition of Nd11.9MM2.9Fe73.9Co3.3Ni1.1B6.9 made of 90 wt.% master alloy and 10 wt.% sintering aid. The two main phases, i.e. the (RE)2(TM)14B phase...

Abstract
Blood is one of the most important biological organs. Red blood cell (RBC), as the most abundant cell of blood, plays an important role at life of the living bodies. Unique mechanical properties of RBCs enable them to pass through very narrow vessels. Any abnormality in these mechanical properties will disorder the function of the cell and many diseases affect these properties too. Studying the mechanical properties of RBCs is very importantin that it could result in a disease diagnostic method in a single-cell level. In this thesis we have tried to measure the viscoelastic properties of a single RBC by an optical trap through a passive method. This measurement is made through studying the...
Measuring Dielectrophoresis Force Excerted on Polystyrene Micro-Beads using Optical Tweezers
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Seyyed Reihani, Nader (Supervisor)
Abstract
The base of dielectrophoresis(DEP) technique has been demonstrated through electro-dynamic interactions between an applied non-uniform AC electric field and induced distributed dipoles within a polarized. In particle manipulation and/or separation using the DEP method, knowledge of precise DEP force of a particle is essential in designing a DEP device and improving its separation efficiency and accuracy. In most DEP studies related to particle manipulation and/or separation, however their absolute DEP forces remain unknown[2]. Insufficient information regarding the DEP behavior of particles can result in preventing a strategic maneuver for efficient particle manipulation and/or separation...

Abstract
During the last few years, utilization of distributed generation (DG) in power systems has been widely increased. This trend has magnified studying the effects and impacts of DG on such systems. One of the benefits of DGs in a power system is loss reduction. If determining DG size and place is done properly, the loss of the network can be minimized. Another way of reducing loss in distribution network is by reconfiguring the network. During the reconfiguration, constraints like being radial, avoiding load isolation as well as voltage/current limitations must be taken into consideration. Taking these constraints into account makes reconfiguration an optimization problem. In this project, the...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemi, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
Abstract
Recent earthquakes indicate the importance of retrofitting existing structures to achieve an acceptable level of performance. Use of bracing systems is a cost-effective method for seismic retrofitting of existing steel frames. In particular, Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) and Special Concentrically Bracing systems (SCB) are practical choices to be used because of their large energy dissipation capacity especially under moderate to severe earthquakes. Buckling restrained braces which yield in both tension and compression, exhibits stable and predictable hysteretic behavior. In this study several existing steel frames, which are designed based on older versions of the building codes, have...

Abstract
The paper investigates the effects of application of nonlocal elasticity theory on electromechanical behaviors of single-walled carbon nanotubes under electrostatic actuation. The influences of different dimensions and boundary conditions on the vibration and dynamic instability of the carbon nanotubes are studied, in detail, using this theory. The results reveal that application of the non-local elasticity theory leads to the higher pull-in voltages for the nonlocal model applied for carbon nanotubes. Thus, in order to have more accurate results, one should apply nonclassical theorems such as the nonlocal elasticity theory to scrutinize the mechanical and electromechanical behaviors of the...

Abstract
In this paper, the classical and nonlocal elasticity are applied to investigate the deflection and instability of electrostatically actuated carbon nanotubes. The results are presented for different geometries and boundary conditions. They reveal that increasing radius and gap and decreasing length confine to increasing pull-in voltages of the carbon nanotubes. The results prove that application of the nonlocal elasticity theorem leads to stiffer structures with higher pull-in voltages. Thus, in order to obtain more accurate results about the mechanical and electromechanical behaviors of the carbon nanotubes, one should apply the nonclassical elasticity theories such as that applied in this...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Bagheri, Reza (Supervisor) ; Seyyed Reihani, Morteza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Particulate ceramic reinforced aluminum matrix composites have high specific strength and stiffness; however, low fracture toughness and deformability have restricted their industrial applications. Among the methods introduced to overcome this shortcoming is fabricating the layered composites which contain alternative layers of aluminum (Al) and discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA). In this study, two different routes; i.e., "Powder extrusion - Casting - Rolling" and "Powder extrusion - Roll bonding" were employed to produce layered Al-DRA composites. After production of Al6061/SiCp composites via hot powder extrusion, mentioned processes were utilized to make DRA-Al-DRA laminate. In...
