    Irregular Triangular Network Simplification Algorithm

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Moradi Koochi, Ali (Author) ; Zarei, Alireza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    One of the available methods for modeling a geographical area is sampling a series of points whose altitude is measured and the altitude of other points is estimated based on the altitude of sampled points. The use of irregular triangular networks (TIN) is one of the common methods for this estimation. Because the number of sample points is large, it is necessary to reduce them in some applications. This process reduces the number of points. The process of reducing the number of sample points is called simplification. Simplification should be done in such a way as to preserve all the main features of the original space. For this purpose, various methods have been presented, which we will... 

    Conflict-free Chromatic Art Gallery Covering with Vertex Guards

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Zarei Moradi, Somayeh (Author) ; Ghodsi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The visibility is one of the most important problems in computational geometry. Two points are said to be visible to each other, if the line segment that joins them does not intersect any obstacles. The art gallery problem is a well-studied visibility problem in computational geometry. It originates from a real-world problem of guarding an art gallery with the minimum number of guards who together can observe the whole gallery. In many of applications, the “guards” are “landmarks” deployed in an environment to help provide navigation and localization service to mobile robots. The mobile device communicates with these landmarks through wireless, or other “line-of-sight” signaling... 

    Experimental investigation into the behaviour of a new replaceable bracing system

    , Article Proceedings of the International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering - OMAE ; Volume 2 , 2012 , Pages 427-437 ; 9780791844892 (ISBN) Khonsari, S. V ; England, G. L ; Moradi, M ; Farahani, H ; Zarei, D ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    A new bracing system with new features somewhat different from those of the existing ones was devised and is presented. These features comprise some of the advantages of eccentric bracing systems including their ability to dissipate energy through bending of flexural elements while lacking some of the disadvantages of such systems including their inability of being replaced upon damage during events such as earthquakes, etc. While in traditional types of braces, including both concentric and eccentric ones, braces are under axial loading, in this new system they work in a bending capacity. As a result, the sort of flexibility which is introduced in the system in the presence of eccentric...

    Abstract
    Many Middle-East countries, like Iran, have dynamic banking industries and have observed merger and acquisitions (M&A) waves. M&A waves are usually defined in the developed world context and some of their main drivers were identified as: market timing, environment's shocks, merger manias, government regulation and regulatory, and technological changes. It has been discussed that merger waves and their reasons are among the ten most important unsolved mysteries in the field of finance (Brealey and Myers, 1991, p. 923), and as a result of this, it was not possible to completely clarify the reasons behind emerging M&A waves, especially in developing countries; for this reason in these...

    Feasibility Analysis of Backflow Detection in Lobe Blowers in Khuzestan Steel Plant using Condition Monitoring Techniques

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Monazami, Ali (Author) ; Behzad, Mehdi (Supervisor) ; Mohammadi, Somayeh (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Lobe blowers are positive displacement machines (PDM) that are widely used in various industries. The efficiency of lobe blowers depends on the clearance between fixed and moving parts. If the clearance between the parts increases, backflow occurs, which means that the flow returns from the high-pressure zone of the outlet to the low-pressure zone of the inlet, and this makes the blower not have the initial efficiency and work with a lower capacity than its design. This research is carried out with the aim of checking the feasibility of backflow detection using two condition monitoring methods, including ultrasonic and thermography techniques. The sample of this research includes seven...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Yousefizadeh, Emadaddin (Author) ; Behzad, Mehdi (Supervisor) ; Mohammadi, Somayeh (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The prediction of Remaining Useful Life (RUL) has become a critical tool in enhancing the availability of rotating machinery. By knowing the remaining time before a bearing failure occurs during operation, significant reductions in unplanned production downtimes and associated costs can be achieved. In this study, by analyzing the time signals of vibration and ultrasonic data related to the bearing of a 4.1 MW electromotor from installation to replacement, and by investigating the behavior trends and correlation between extracted features, RMS has been ultimately identified as the health indicator in both vibration and ultrasonic techniques for monitoring the bearing’s condition. First,...

    Abstract
    Bearings play a critical role in the functionality of rotating equipment across various industries, accounting for approximately 50% of equipment failures due to bearing malfunctions. Accurate life prediction of bearings is essential not only for preventing unexpected breakdowns and subsequent damage but also for minimizing unnecessary replacements of functional bearings, which can lead to increased operational costs. With the rise of artificial intelligence, numerous predictive models have been developed; however, many of these require extensive datasets, which are often unavailable in industrial settings. Data collection is typically irregular, based on the sensitivity of the equipment,... 

    Identification of Possible Failures in Online Data of Gas Turbines based on Information Fusion using Artificial Intelligence

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Haghighat Shoar, Amin (Author) ; Behzad, Mehdi (Supervisor) ; Mohammadi, Somayeh (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Gas turbines' safe operation depends on the monitoring of performance thresholds and equipment limitations. This is accomplished through online data monitoring using sensors, with the collected data processed by monitoring software supplied by turbine manufacturers to extract information on operating conditions. The thresholds are usually set during manufacturing under standard conditions and saved in the control software. As the turbine ages and undergoes maintenance, these thresholds and operating conditions may change, requiring expert analysis to determine safe operating limits. Technological advancements have enabled the processing of operational data to establish patterns and create...

    Efficient Observer-Dependent Simplification in Polygonal Domains

    , Article Algorithmica (New York) ; April , 2011 , Pages 1-21 ; 01784617 (ISSN) Zarei, A ; Ghodsi, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2011
    Abstract
    In this paper, we consider a special version of the well-known line-simplification problem for simplifying the boundary of a region illuminated by a point light source q, or its visibility polygon VP(q). In this simplification approach, we should take the position of q as an essential factor into account to determine the quality of the resulting simplification. For this purpose, we redefine the known distance- and area-distortion error criteria as the main simplification criteria to take into account the distance between the observer q and the boundary of VP(q). Based on this, we propose algorithms for simplifying VP(q). More precisely, we propose simplification algorithms of O(n2) and...

    Abstract
    Obtaining a reliable reservoir permeability map that is consistent with all available data is of great important for reservoir engineers. However, there is not enough core from existing wells to estimate the reservoir permeability directly but Well log data are more widely available. This study aims to model permeability within the reservoir while there is no enough data. In particular, we use artificial neural networks to estimate permeability using four input logs of sonic, gravity, porosity and neutron logs in six existing wells. In order to eliminate the correlated data, we have done Principal Component Analysis on selected input logs. Collocated cokriging is considered as a valuable... 

    A practical approach for planar visibility maintenance

    , Article Journal for Geometry and Graphics ; Volume 13, Issue 1 , 2009 , Pages 75-90 ; 14338157 (ISSN) Zarei, A ; Ghodsi, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2009
    Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a method for maintaining the region visible from a moving point observer inside a planar scene. In this method, we check the observer position in discrete time-stamps to detect and apply changes to the visible or illuminated region of a moving point observer q, or VP(q). We efficiently maintain a list C(q) of edges in VP(q) which are subject to change during the motion. In each time-stamp that VP(q) is to be updated, we only refine and redraw the view against the edges of C(q) that indicate the positions of the visibility changes. We build an enriched representation of the visibility graph in a preprocessing step to apply the required updates on C(q) efficiently and...

    Abstract
    In this paper, we consider the problem of computing the visibility of a query point inside polygons with holes. The goal is to perform this computation efficiently per query with more cost in the preprocessing phase. Our algorithm is based on solutions in [13] and [2] proposed for simple polygons. In our solution, the preprocessing is done in time O(n3 log(n)) to construct a data structure of size O(n3). It is then possible to report the visibility polygon of any query point q in time O((1 + h′) log n + |V(q)|), in which n and h are the number of the vertices and holes of the polygon respectively, |V(q)| is the size of the visibility polygon of q, and h′ is an output and preprocessing...

    Abstract
    In a recently published article by Backer [Opt. Express 27(21), 30308 (2019).], a computational inverse design method is developed for designing optical systems composed of multiple metasurfaces. The forward propagation model used in this method was a discretized version of the angular spectrum propagator described by Goodman [Introduction to Fourier Optics, 1996]. However, slight modifications are necessary to increase the accuracy of this inverse design method. This comment examines the accuracy of the results obtained by the above-mentioned method by a full-wave electromagnetic solver and explains the reason of their difference. Thereafter, slight modifications to the method proposed by...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Zarei, Mohammad (Author) ; Jahed, Mehran (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Disconnections in neural paths from the central nervous system to the muscles or vice versa cause different neuropathies, thus paralysis in different limbs may occur. As a result of the lack of muscular activity and the decrease in blood perfusion in paralyzed limbs, problems like osteoporosis, increase in the risk of breaking, decline in muscle size, cardiovascular diseases, renal dysfunction, bedsores, etc may happen. In order to induce movement in paralyzed limbs, thus preventingmentioned problems, rowing exercise through Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) may be utilized. In FES, electrical Stimulation using current stimulating pulses is applied to contracting and relaxing muscles,...
