Some of the research areas which are pursued by the faculty members of this Department include the following: Research Areas A brief explanation to get familiar with the research areas Dynamic and vibrations of mechanical systems In this research area, cinematic and synthetic modeling of mechanical systems is done and the behavior of vibration systems is reviewed. Mechanical Systems Non-Linear Control To control mechanical nonlinear systems, it is necessary to design and implement the nonlinear controllers including resistance, adaptive, and so on. Robotics (Design, Modeling, and Manufacturing) Robotic is the science of Robotics related to the design, manufacturing, general principles, and application of robots that have been created for human comfort, precision, and speed. Community Verified icon Modal Analysis Modal Analysis is a knowledge to determine the system dynamic parameters including natural frequencies, modes shapes, and damping coefficients. Biomechanics (Rehabilitation) Rehabilitation is a very vast scientific domain in the set of health and treatment services. It helps individuals to overcome the problem and regain the previous performance in dep after affliction with problems such as brain stroke, spinal cord injuries, orthopedic surgeries, traumatic brain injury, burning, hearing loss, auditory central processing disorder, balance problems, etc. Biomechanics (Scaffolds) Scaffolds are structures for planting cells and treating deficiencies such as breaks, injuries, tissues atrophy, etc. Manufacturing, pro, etc., findings, and modeling of these scaffolds are some of the objectives of the present Department. Computational Mechanics It is conducting research and development in the application of the finite element method to solve differential equations Sina Software Development Sina is software based on the finite element method which can analyze engineering problems. At present, this software is in progress with due attention to computational needs. Stress Analysis and Structure Vibrations In this area, the static and dynamic behavior of types of structures under loads is reviewed and computed. New Repairs of Fracture and Corrosion of Industrial Parts One of the basic problems of industries is the Fracture and wear of industrial parts. To correct and reconstruct the above Tow, methods have been innovated and presented which can be used depending on the type of material and conditions of equipment to correct the crack and wear. Condition Monitoring and Troubleshooting of Industrial Parts One of the methods of troubleshooting for rotating equipment is predictive condition monitor vibrational and thermal conditions monitoring are two areas that with paying attention to them, it is possible to forecast the troubleshooting of industrial equipment before any failure. Advanced Design and Manufacturing Design and manufacturing of all parts are performed with traditional machining, modern machining, and additive manufacturing methods. Smart Materials Today using materials whose properties are a function of different factors such as size, position and direction has a growing growth in advanced industries. In this fieldhouse mechanical behavior of these materials is dealt with. Stress Analysis Familiarity and performing stress measurement systems in experimental methods including the following: Photo-elasticity, strain gauge, brittle coating, DIC, and More Method Stress Experimental Analysis Using collision equations to simulate motion and collision of the discrete materials including minerals, bullets, etc. Processing Lines Simulation Simulation of dynamic systems including particles by using discrete element method DEM. Analysis and simulation of the processes of sheet metal forming and bulk metal forming by analytic, numerical, and lab methods Metal Forming Mechanics fracture in the analytic and experimental method Fracture Mechanics Design and manufacture the parts with the help of computers including modeling, design, analysis, and manual acting. Design and manufacturing with the help of computer: Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Condition Monitoring of mechanical systems in methods of vibration, temperature, and sound Condition Monitoring of Mechanical Systems UT, MT, and PT methods (especially in the process of welding) Non-Destructive Tests (NDT) Familiarity with and performing experimental stress measurements including: Photo-elasticity method, measurements method, a brittle coating method, DIC, and More Method Memory Alloys Memory alloys are a group of smart materials that can remember their primary shape, the caned in different industries broadly. At present numerical modeling, lab analyses, and equipment manufacturing by these materials are made. Perforated [Mesh]Materials These materials are a group of advanced materials with a scaffold-like structure that provides the possibility of bearing heavy loads while having slight weight, sound and vibration absorption, and shock absorption features. Characterization and numerical modeling are among the activities in progress. Additive Manufacturing (3-dimensional print) Additive Manufacturing which is known also as 3D Printing is a method that is used to produce very complex parts. In this method, each piece is produced by placing layers from a sample that is due to be produced. At present, lab and numerical works on this ground are in progress. Micromechanics Micromechanics deals with the materials microstructure features and uses it to create numerical models to predict the materials thermodynamic properties. Development Programs: 1. Department of Applied Design and Manufacturing Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical and Materials Engineering has always tried to have greater development of its body and this has caused have this Department to be acknowledged as one of the most successful bodies at the university. Some of the developmental plans of the departments are as follows: 1. Presenting Ph.D. in applied design 2. Presenting new interdisciplinary sciences 3. Developing industrial cooperation within the framework of industrial and student projects 4. Developing international cooperation with prestigious institutions and universities 5. Equipping the existing labs 6. Reinforcing and completing the required academic cadre
