Periodic orbits in a three-body problem are important issues. These orbits are mostly unstable. The Main reason of this instability is the second mass gravity. So, these orbits are deviated from Keplerian orbits. Besides, controlling a spaceship in these orbits is an important issue. In this research stability of these orbits are studied. We used Flouquet and Lyuponov exponents for measuring the instability. We introduced a new method for double Poincare map, as well. These maps can show the system changes in state space. In addition to above we introduced an algorithm that can reduce the time of periodic orbit finding. The conventional and unconventional control methods for stabilizing a...

One of the attractive fields of applied quantum mechanics in recent two-three decades is the field of quantum computing. Up to now different substrates have been proposed for a quantum computer. One of them is cavity quantum electrodynamics in which some quantum systems with finite energy states like atoms interact with quantized Bosonic modes like photons inside a cavity. In this dissertation we study a particular structure in this substrate. This structure consists of some quantum dots inside coupled cavities. Since we would like to build these cavities in a photonic crystal slab, we first introduce two new methods for analysis of this type of crystals. These methods are much faster than... 

Pipe freezing has become well established in industry as a method of short-termisolation in order to carry out maintenance or repairs. It is often necessary to repair system components without plant shutdown or drainage of system having many piping structures which may have hazardous or expensive fluid. Therefore, a series of tests has been arranged to investigate the ice plug formation in two standard pipes with different diameter size. The freeze zone on the pipe has been created by means of an aluminum jacket which liquid nitrogen flows in it. In the tests the freezing time, amount of liquid nitrogen usage andthe pressure tolerance of ice plug have been determined. Moreover, the numerical... 

The present thesis aims at investigating the dynamic interaction of slosh and aeroelasticity in the fuel contained aero vehicles. The main approach in this research is to develop reduced order models for description of the coupled system. In this regard, boundary element method is used to develop slosh dynamic model. Axisymmetric boundary element method with non-symmetric boundary conditions is used to develop slosh dynamic model for axisymmetric containers. Zoning method is used to develop slosh dynamic model for the multi-baffled tanks and based on it, slosh equivalent mechanical model is developed for multi-baffled tanks. Finite element method along with modal technique is used to develop...

Range Profile (RP) is known as one of the most important tools for radar target recognition. The main problem with range profile for radar target recognition is its sensitivity to aspect angle. To overcome this problem, range profiles are assumed to have the same statistical characteristics in small frames of aspect angles or context dependent models such as HMM may be used. All methods presented, seems to have some shortcomings to offer a model based on physical circumstances of target maneuver. For example in such models, consecutive samples of RPs in an aspect frame are assumed to be statistically independent with the same distribution (IID). Here we propose dynamic system (DS) for... 

There are numerous ways available to achieve low temperatures that cryocoolers might be among the most important of them. In the meantime, the pulse tube refrigerator has a special place due to its simple geometry and not be using any moving parts. This simple property make the pulse tube refrigerator one of the most popular methods to achieve low temperatures. Nowadays, a pulse tube refrigerator is used for cooling in the range of 4 to 123 Kelvin in two form of one-stage and two-stage and up to an approximate power of 1 KW. Today, due to the temperature and the amount of power required for cooling, as well as the time it takes to reach that temperature, this chiller is used in medical,... 

During the last few years, the study of urban environment structures is considered as a research field of interest in remote sensing. In satellite observations of the earth's surface, continuous imaging in terms of time and space has caused the remote sensing technique to be proposed as a useful and efficient tool for the analysis of urban areas. Obtaining quantitative spatial information from the urban environment in fields such as determining the height of buildings plays an essential role in urban planning, monitoring damage to buildings, establishing communication bases and digital cities. During the last two decades, the use of Tomosar approach in order to reconstruct the structures of... 

In this thesis we consider the effect of random locations of users in the capacity analysis of SIR-based power control systems and comparison to the strength-based systems, for the first time. Unlike previous works we do not consider a simple deterministic uniform model for the analysis. We provide simulations and analytical solutions for calculating the interference statistics, based on which, we not only calculate the interference statistics, but also study the effect of locating a user in every location in the network coverage area and its share in the interference. We also calculate each cell’s share in every statistics of the interference. In this thesis, based on the common assumption... 

In synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, the nadir echo is defined as the backscattered signal from the point directly below the satellite on the earth surface. If the timing of the radar is such that the nadir echo arrives at the receiver while the receiver is turned on for receiving the desired signal, it could damage the receiver or disrupt the resulting SAR image, unless it is suppressed enough by proper design of antenna radiation pattern. In current SAR satellites, ”avoiding” this phenomenon is associated with two problems: 1) limiting the swath width, 2) imposing stringent restrictions on the selection of pulse repeatition frequency (PRF). Therefore, ”suppressing” the nadir echo,... 

Localization of radio sources has various applications in civil and military communications. Some of important localization methods consist of Angle of Arrival (AoA) estimation of the illuminated signals from the interested sources. Between various Direction Finding (DF) methods, subspace based methods are of special importance, because of their high resolution and accuracy. And from beginning of invention, because of new challenges, have been focus of numerous researches. In this thesis, first we explain the most important subspace based DF methods called MUSIC and root-MUSIC. Then a novel modification for root-MUSIC is introduced. In our new method the computational complexity of... 

In order to study the interaction of sloshing and structural vibrations of baffled tanks a reduced order model based on modal analysis of structure model and boundary element method for fluids motion is developed. For this purpose the governing equations of elastic structure and incompressible flow used to derive simple models to simulate both fields. Using the modal analysis technique the structural motions are applied to the fluid model and on the other hand by using boundary element method the fluid loads are applied to the structural model. Based on this formulation a code is developed which is applicable to an arbitrary elastic tank with arbitrary arrangement of baffles. Results... 

In the present work, the buckling behavior of a composite beam with circular, rectangular and pentagonal cross sections is investigated. The structural model is based on the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and incorporates other non-classical effects such as primary and secondary warpings and restrained warping. The linear buckling equations are derived from the non-linear governing equations of motion and their associated boundary conditions and solved using the Galerkin method for a composite beam with the clamped-free end condition and the special layup configuration of Circumferentially Asymmetric Stiffness (CAS) which induces elastic couplings between torsional and flexural...
