Today polyolefin definitely is one of the most applicable polymers in the world. One of these polymers is ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Being applicable in a number of high-tech industries such as military service, battery separators, and other areas, expands the usage of these polymers. Electrospinning is one of the molding methods in order to synthesize fiber polymers. Using this method, a great deal of polymer fibers have been prepared. It is worth noting that the device used for olefins should have temperature control and temperature increase ability. The electrospinning device with the temperature control has not been built in the country; therefore, this device has been... 

Deployable structures have been used on small satellites since the beginning of such space programmes. Here, the design sequence for a special tensegrity structure, for use as supporting structure for deployable mesh-like antenna will be proposed. The design process is conducted to prevent structural elements from failure, and satisfy the minimum specified natural frequency. In this research, structural modeling is performed based on two external geometric parameters (overall height and diameter), and three internal geometric parameters (elements cross-section properties). The pre-stress in structural element is the last design parameter. Also, materials are pre-assigned. Internal forces of... 

Processalgebras,acompositionalmethodofmodelingsystemsandtheirbehavioural features, have been a key instrument in the verification of systems and have strived to completely span a whole spectrum of verification solutions for diverse areas of applications. In this sense, modeling and analysis of the performance metrics in a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) in contrast to other systems, face different challenges which demand different strategies. Hence, our goal here is to model and analyze the qualitative and quantitative aspects of MANETs within one especially designed compositional framework. To achieve this framework, we will first have a look at the different methods which aim to model MANETs... 

Application of composite patches in repair of damaged/aged aircraft structures is one of the most popular repairing methods in aerospace engineering and because of its advantages the use of this type of repair is increasing today. However, to use these patches in life extension of aged aircraft, the added weight to the structure should be strictly controlled. This could be best done if achieving the optimum and smart design by using optimization and structural health monitoring methods. These two concept about pre-designed of composite patch repair are investigated in this thesis. The simulation by Abaqus software and experimental results and tests will be used for this purpose. In first... 

In this research work, the concept of an unmanned aerial firefighting system with water thrusters has been studied. This system consists of a platform head, a waterhose and a ground pump. The concept is briefly to pump water through the hose and then fall it down on fire from the platform. This conceptual system may have many other applications. The other applications have also been addressed in the introduction section. This platform can be considered as an unmanned aerial vehicle whose lift and control forces is provided by water thrusters. The conceptual study has been carried out based on three subjects of preliminary sizing, system dynamic modeling and controller design for platform...

One of the most important methods of controlling discharge in water industry which is widely used in irrigation, water distribution, waste-water engineering, drainage, flood control and other water related projects, is side weir. The hydraulic behavior of flow over side weir is spatially varied flow with decreasing discharge. Various investigators have related the weir discharge coefficient as a function of main channel upstream Froude number and the fraction of weir height to upstream depth . Performance of sharp crested side weirs with extended length (as labyrinth side weir with asymmetric geometry) has been studied in this thesis. The variables for this study are height of weir ,... 

Air enterance in to flowing water is something that is commonly seen in the water conveyance systems. The mixture of Air and water that flow together create a kind of flow that is called two phase flow. This kind of flow is often seen in culverts and water conveyance systems. There are different flow patterns in two phase flow. Considering pressure fluctuation, pressure drop and pressure recovery, slug flow pattern is the most complicated pattern among all.
Sometimes a singularity is used in a tunnel; one of the singularities that are frequently used in water conveyance system is expansion transition. In this study an experimental setup is used to model two phase slug flow, which passes... 

Local scouring at the downstream of sluice gates in the erosive beds is one of the main concerns of hydraulic engineers because of the significant damage that it can cause to the hydraulic structures. It is important to control the local scour depth at downstream of hydraulic structures to ensure safety operation of these systems. Many researchers have conducted various studies to predict the maximum depth and diameter of scour hole and develop new methods in order to control this phenomenon. One way to overcome this problem is the use of apron, or non-erosive bed. In order to shorten the apron length or decrease the effect of the... 

It is well known that arrays of antennas make it possible to steer the radiation pattern without steering a physical structure. For the past few decades this has been considered for many civil and military communication systems. Recently, ultra-short pulses are considered for high resolution radars and ultra-wideband communication systems. Systems with short pulses and large antenna arrays may benefit from high resolution in both temporal and spatial domains. But the implementation of the ultra-wideband feeding circuits for such antenna arrays is a hard job even with state of the art electronics. Optical technology has been applied, successfully, to a number of radio applications such as... 

Sharp crested weirs are one of the main and oldest means of measuring discharge in water conveyance systems. Many studies have been done on sharp rectangular weirs and have provided many relationships regarding the effect of geometric parameters and various factors on discharge coefficient of the weirs.In some places, due to existence of obstacles or barriers in the channel, it is impossible to create a symmetrical continuous weir some other cases,multiple or asymmetric weirs should be used, which is the main concept of this project.Since it seems unlikely that a purely mathematical model can review the impact of the multiplicity and asymmetry of these weirs without using empirical... 

High-power (108 – 109 W) RF pulses with a carrier frequency of C band and a duration of several oscillation periods can be produced through direct energy conversion of a travelling high-voltage pulse with the use of nonlinear elements.
Nonlinear transmission lines consist either of lumped nonlinear elements and provide spatial dispersion of excited oscillations or of elements uniformly distributed on a certain line segment. The first type of NLTL’s can be referred to NLTL’s with spatial dispersion. The second type of NLTL’s is ensemble of nonlinear oscillators with a characteristic natural frequency and temporal dispersion. In the first case, the duration of electromagnetic pulses is...

If the size of the conventional telecommunication antennas -that are widely used in transmitting broadcasted radio and TV messages- is reduced by a nanometer size these antennas can be used at optical frequencies. Dimensions of these optical nanoantennas -that made of nanoparticles with highly permittivity- can be smaller than half of the wavelength. Based on this capability, optical nanoantennas have some important applications such as optical communication, photovoltaic devices, non-classical light, and optical sensing. After studying on optical nanoantennas and their features, in this project, we present distinctions between optical NAs and MW antennas and then investigate about different...
