Condensation is one of the main processes in environment and engineering systems, including thermal power plants, desalination systems and air conditioners. Thus, improvement of its performance can lead to decrease of energy consumption and the resulting air pollutions. Recently, using nanotechnology and new coating methods, there have been great researches on stable superhydrophobic surfaces and using theme as condensing surfaces which because of jumping droplet phenomena can increase condensation performance. Because of the great influence of wetting and structure properties of surfaces on condensation, in this study nucleation and growth of condensing droplets on smooth and structured...
Distributed Fault-tolerant Computation for Massive Data
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Maddah-Ali, Mohammad Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis we consider the problem of distributed computation by many processors.We mainly concentrate on matrix multiplication problem in this thesis because of its importance. A distributed system consists of N worker processors and one master processor. The master processor should distribute the computation between workers and after computation in each of them, collect the results. In this thesis, we are going to mitigate the effect of straggler processors by using coding methods. Straggler processors can cause delays in the computation time.In this thesis, we firstly introduce a method to multiply any number of matrices in each other. The proposed method occurred in one shot without...

Abstract
A complete cycle of droplet nucleation, growth, coalescence and jumping on different textured hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces is studied for the first time, using a 2-D double distribution function thermal lattice Boltzmann method. First, droplet nucleation mechanism on smooth and rough surfaces is studied in detail. The results reveal the presence of cooled vapor layer instability in the condensation on completely smooth surfaces. However, on the rough surfaces and near the roughness a completely different mechanism is observed and the nucleation occurs on the roughness wedges. Also, the condensation on different textured surfaces with nominal contact angles θa=90°,120°,155° is...
Modeling Optomechanical Behavior of Optical Metasurfaces Subject to Light and Elastic Deformation
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Naghdabadi, Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Optical metasurfaces are 2D structures of a repetitive arrangement of a number of nanoparticles that are artificially constructed and do not exist in nature. Important applications of optical metasurfaces are meta lenses, flexible solar cells and extremely small antennas. Fabricating surfaces with nanoparticles of proper geometry under light radiation along with elastic deformation, we can have optical metasurfaces with selective reflection or transparency in the visible spectrum. The aim of this project is modeling of an optical metasurface with elastic deformation leading to change of color and transparency. For this purpose, assuming vertical light radiation and linear polarization, we...
Elastic-Plastic Analysis of Fiber Reinforced Metal Matrix Composite Structures
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Naghdabadi, Reza (Supervisor) ; Asghari, Mohsen (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this study, an elastic-plastic analysis of fiber reinforced metal matrix composite structures loaded by uniaxial uniform tension in the direction perpendicular to the fiber is carried out by assuming elastic-plastic matrix with kinematic hardening. Representative volume element (RVE) is used for this analysis. The element consists of a combined square field composed of a solid circular cylinder fiber and matrix in plane strain condition. Elastic analysis is carried out using Airy stress function and Michell solution. Unknown coefficients of the Airy stress function are determined by satisfying boundary conditions as well as continuity conditions. The governing equation of plastic zone is...

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) are inflammatory neuropathies with different clinical courses but similar underlying mechanisms. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) might affect pathogenesis of these conditions. In the current project, we have selected HULC, PVT1, MEG3, SPRY4-IT1, LINC-ROR and DSCAM-AS1 lncRNAs to appraise their transcript levels in the circulation of CIDP and GBS cases versus controls. Expression of HULC was higher in CIDP patients compared with healthy persons (Ratio of mean expression (RME) = 7.62, SE = 0.72, P < 0.001). While expression of this lncRNA was not different between female CIDP cases and female...

Abstract
Classic identifiability analysis of flow barriers in incompressible single-phase flow reveals that it is not possible to identify the location and permeability of low-permeability barriers from production data (wellbore pressures and rates), and that only averaged reservoir properties in between wells can be identified. We extend the classic analysis by including compressibility effects. We use two approaches: a twin experiment with synthetic production data for use with a time-domain parameter-estimation technique, and a transfer-function formalism in the form of bilaterally coupled four-ports allowing for an analysis in the frequency domain. We investigate the identifiability, from noisy...

Feedback control of the neuro-musculoskeletal system in a forward dynamics simulation of stair locomotion [electronic resource]
, Article Proc. of IMechE Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine ; 2009, Vol. 223, No. 6, pp. 663-675 Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation ; Volume 11, Issue 1, 30 April 2014, Article number 78 ; Meghdari, Ali ; Vossough, Gholam Reza ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The aim of this study is to employ feedback control loops to provide a stable forward dynamics simulation of human movement under repeated position constraint conditions in the environment, particularly during stair climbing. A ten-degrees-of-freedom skeletal model containing 18 Hill-type musculotendon actuators per leg was employed to simulate the model in the sagittal plane. The postural tracking and obstacle avoidance were provided by the proportional—integral—derivative controller according to the modulation of the time rate change of the joint kinematics. The stability of the model was maintained by controlling the velocity of the body's centre of mass according to the desired centre of...

Earthquake Branch
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Bakhshi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the past few decades, shaking tables are widely used to evaluate system response of structures under seismic excitations. These devices are used without any fundamental research performed on a shaking table system as an entity model. In most of these studies for simplicity, it is assumed that there exist no considerable vibration and displacement around the shaking tables, and no attention is paid to the peripheral substances such as soil settled under the foundation.
In this thesis, result of ambient vibration test on shaking table system (solid deck, concrete foundation and soil layer) has been presented. Precise sensors known as low frequency and high accuracy accelerometers have...

Comparison between Performance of Stone Columns and RAPs from the Bearing Capacity and Settlement Reduction Viewpoints
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Pak, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Out of several ground improvement techniques available, stone columns have been widely used. This technique has been successfully applied to increase the bearing capacity and to reduce the settlement for foundation of structures like liquid storage tanks, earthen embankments, raft foundations, etc., where a relatively large settlement is permissible. This technique has, generally, been proven successful in increasing the stiffness of weak soils, upgrading their safe bearing capacity, and reducing their total and differential settlements, as well as speeding up their consolidation process. The beneficial effects of stone column installation in weak deposits is manifested in the form of...
Improvement of Stability of Haptic Force Interaction with Virtual Environments Using a Haptic Interface with a Separate Tracker
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Meghdari, Ali (Supervisor) ; Nahvi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
In the present study, a new version of haptic devices is presented in which user’s hand is in contact with the device just while collision with virtual surface. In this system, the position of user’s finger can be traced by using a camera and the haptic device follows user’s finger at the distance of about two centimeters. While the haptic device approaches to the virtual surface, gradually reduces its speed and stops about two centimeters distant of virtual plane. Then user’s hand collides with the haptic device which is static. Greater fidelity, transparency, more stability and also no need to large actuators are of the advantages of this system. In this project, first we present a new...
Performance of Partially Filled Mini-Channels with Porous Media
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Nouri, Ali (Supervisor) ; Moosavi, Ali (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Laminar forced convection flow through a channel partially filled with a porous material was numerically studied in this thesis. The Navier-Stokes and Brinkman-Forchheimer equations were used to model the fluid flow in the free and porous regions, respectively. Coupling of the pressure and velocity fields was resolved using the SIMPLEC algorithm. The local thermal equilibrium was adopted in the energy equation. The effects of the thermal conductivity ratio, Darcy number, porosity, Reynolds number and height of the porous insert on velocity and temperature field were investigated. The results show that the flow behavior and its associated heat transfer are susceptible to the variation of the...

Simulation of the Biomolecule Imaging and Manipulation Via AFM by Molecular Dynamics Method
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Meghdari, Ali (Supervisor) ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis we try to find optimized parameters for imaging and manipulation of a biosample with AFM. For this we have prepared a numerous Molecular Dynamics simulation and find some reliable result. So, first we have focused on imaging process in Non contact mode (the less harmful mode). Then we headed into the manipulation process. The main problem about manipulating a biosample is the environment. In imaging section, the process of imaging a biomolecule by AFM is modeled using molecular dynamics simulations. Since the large normal force exerted by the tip on the biosample in contact and tapping modes may damage the sample structure and produce irreversible deformation, the non-contact...
Characterzing Variation of Small Strain Shear Modulus of Unsaturated Sand During Hydraulic Hysteresis with Bender Elements
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Pak, Ali (Supervisor) ; Khosravi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Results of previous studies on silt and clay indicated that variations in the small strain shear modulus, Gmax, during drying had a non-linear increasing trend with matric suction with greater values upon wetting. However, due to different material properties and inter-particle forces, different behaviour in Gmax is expected for sand. Although considerable research has been devoted in recent years to characterize the behaviour of Gmax of sand during drying, rather less attention has been paid to the effect of hydraulic hysteresis on Gmax and its variations during wetting. In the study presented herein, an effort was made to characterize the variation of Gmax for specimens of sand during...
