inhibitors, evaluation of corrosion behavior of coatings on metals, cathodic
protection of steel in soils and concrete, corrosion in water and petroleum,
corrosion of steel in polymer impregnated concrete and investigating the
stability of passive films by DC and AC techniques . The group is undertaking kinetic studies in corrosion investigation
by applying the AC-Impedance technique. Different electrochemical methods are
to be applied in the production of organic and inorganic substances.
Furthermore, electrochemical models are to be developed for enhancing the
separation of impurities in solutions.
Distillation & Separation Processes
A diverse set of separation
processes are under investigation by members of this group examples of which
are : simulation as well as experimental studies in tray type and packed distillation
columns, separations based on the use of surface active agents, novel

Research
Activities
Research
by the faculty is carried out in three distinct groups of Structural Analysis,
Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, and Geotechnical Engineering.
Structural
Analysis
The
rapid developments in industry, particularly in the aerospace industry, in
recent years has motivated detailed study into the behavior of plates and
composite plates. Following these lines, much attention has been directed
towards the static, dynamic, and stability analysis of plates with different
shapes and boundary conditions.
Encased castellated I-beams are extensively
used in roofs and ceilings in most buildings throughout the country. The
present methods applied in the analysis and design of such beams are grossly
conservative. The objective of research in this area is to obtain a method that
can predict the strength of these beams more realistically.
The themes addressed by the research group in
this area: investigation of the dynamic behavior of structures based on
base isolation; static and dynamic analysis of stability of plates with
different geometrical shapes through Galerkin and Ritz techniques using bubble
equations in the analysis of plates and sections stability; investigation of
concrete slabs without beams and power transition in them; investigation of the
behavior of high, pipe-system buildings; optimization of reinforced concrete
structures; the behavior of prestressed and partially prestressed components;
investigation of castellated beams and its interaction with concrete;
investigation of high-quality concretes and application of various materials
for the improvement of concrete physical and chemical properties as well as its
durability .
The group is currently engaged in the
following research:
-
Free-vibration analysis of tanks containing more than one liquid
-
Investigation of the elastic and plastic behavior of encased castellated
I-beams
-
Solution of triangular plates having variable thickness and different
boundary conditions
-
Local, distortional, lateral and post buckling of monosymmetric I-beams
-
Investigation of strength of masonry columns under axial loads.
Water
Resources and Environmental Engineering
Proper
water quality management seems unattainable without controlling the point and
nonpoint pollution sources. Among the nonpoint sources, the urban runoff is
usually the most frequent sources of pollution in water resources. The faculty
have been heavily involved in urban runoff pollution and its control but the
other main areas of interest and current research include:
-
Water resources planning and management
-
Assessment and control of environmental impacts of urban runoff
-
Study into the environmental impacts of urban, industrial, and
agricultural development
-
Industrial wastewater survey
-
Investigation of surface water and groundwater quality and pollution
control
-
Hydraulic structures and environmental hydraulics
-
Water quality modelling
The group is also involved in the following
projects:
-
Industrial and sanitary wastewater survey of Isfahan Steel Mill Co.
-
Investigation of the environmental impacts of urban, industrial and
agricultural development
-
Study of the urban stormwater pollutant load
-
Mathematical modelling of the impacts of industrial wastewater from
textile plants on the Zayandehrood River
-
Fuzzy set theory in water resources systems planning
Geotechnical
Engineering
The
activities within this group fall under the following topics:
-
Design and analysis of protection for tunnels and underground spaces and ground deformations
-
Analysis of stability of earth and rock dams and their stability during
earthquakes.

Systems Operation, Control and Protection
The
research projects in this group have been carried out mainly in collaboration
with Isfahan Electricity Board and the local industries. Some such researches
include spotpricing, optimal power flow, unit commitment,
hydro-thermal coordination, scada, energy management systems, and voltage
collapse . Research has also been pursued on the
design of power area controls, within whose framework several projects have
been completed such as area interchange control, power system
stabilizers, SVC design and control, HVDC design and control, design of various
classical and expert controls . Much
research has also been devoted to power systems protection in which several
projects on various adjustment relays and their tests are underway. The results
from these activities have not only provided solutions to industrial problems
but have also been disseminated through papers and presentations to national
and international conferences around the world. The group maintains close-knit
ties with industry and regional authorities such as Isfahan Electricity Board
and its various associated committees as well as with the Power Research Center
and the Electricity Research Council. The collaboration with industry has found
a more solid base through the establishment of the Collaboration Council
consisting of members from IUT and Isfahan Electricity Board.

program aimed to train analysts capable of identifying and solving problems of
manufacturing management. The department has usually sought solutions to
problems of industry through a quantitative approach. Part of the approach
entails the development of mathematical models of the problems under study to
be ultimately solved by computer.
The activities within the department can be
classified into the following areas:
Product and/or Service
- Analyzing the production of a proposed
product or service to determine its
profitability, adaptability of the new product to the existing production line, optimum design of the
product, identification of the best raw
materials for its production, and optimum integration of production lines
- Continuous improvement of an existing
product or service
- Analysis of the product or service delivery
Manufacturing Process
- Determining optimum production and
manufacturing processes
- Optimum selection of production equipment
and machinery
- Designing plant layout with maximum
efficiency
- Determining the best way for material and
semi-finished products handling and
their transportation within the plant
- Determining an efficient organization for
material production
- Workplace design
- Designing storage facilities
Production and Performance
- Estimating activity levels to determine
production levels
- Analysis of production capacity and
constraints (raw materials, manpower,
and equipment)
- Designing plant performance in order to
determine the plant layout and the method
of material transportation within the plant; making decision on equipment manufacturing or purchase
- Interpretation of problem solving in terms
of problem statement and its
presuppositions, and insisting on making decisions based on non-subjective criteria
- Identification of the changing nature of the
system under study and taking this
nature into view when suggesting solutions
Design
- Optimum design of the system from various
aspects (e.g., optimum design of
the transportation system, storing system, delivery of goods, and
information analysis)
- Identification of the relationships holding
among the system components and
designing the system as a whole rather than designing its individual components)
Personnel
- Establishing procedures for testing,
recruitment, and training of employees
- Design and implementation of job evaluation
and incentive plans
- Designing safety procedures for employees
and commodities
- Application of human factor engineering
principles in the design of type
and volume of jobs, and providing appropriate tools and equipment
- Coordinating the activities by the
professionals for better performance
- Application of proper principles in
personnel relationships for effective use
of the workforce
Control
- Developing job standards;
- Designing procedures and systems for
performance information analysis,
and interpreting their results
- Designing appropriate efficiency criteria
for monitoring plant performance
Transportation
Transportation systems were found to play a significant role in
the economic development of Iran. As a response to the pressing need for improved
transportation systems, the department set up a research group to explore
solutions to problems in transportation networks and to find methods for the
integration of the different existing systems (land, water, air, and railroad).
These networks are designed within the framework of short, medium, and
long-term programs with respect to available facilities (financial resources,
manpower, equipment and raw materials) as well as the existing constraints. In
this planning, advantage is taken of the relationship existing between
communications and transportation.
The inter-city transportation and a proper
combination of public and private transportation means, which forms a major
problem in large cities,
are dealt with in transportation system
planning. Time scheduling of
public vehicles for an efficient use of
the existing facilities, traffic control and management in cities, and road
safety are further examples of such problems. An integration of such problems
were to be solved by the department
in a project on the Design of a
Comprehensive Inter-City Transportation System for Isfahan .
Energy
It is vital for the survival and development of every economy to
provide sufficient supplies of energy. Energy planning heavily draws on the
selection of appropriate technology and the location and capacity of energy
production and conversion units. In systems planning, these problems are
addressed with regards to the existing energy resources and their capacity,
energy consumption estimates in different economic sectors and areas, and the
available technology. The department has been involved in many small and full
scale studies on energy planning for Iran within several projects.
Economy
Issues addressed in economic development planning are designing appropriate
development strategies and policies, designing large-scale development
programs, planning development programs for various economic sectors, and
policy making for proper economic management in accordance with social values
and priorities. In fact, such programs determine the socio-economic trend of
the country and its various economic sectors and formulate their activities
within the framework thus established.
In addition to the areas described above, the
faculty is also involved in research on the
role of computer in complex management systems while at the same time activity goes on the two major
areas of manufacturing and planning .
In manufacturing
, issues such as scheduling and computer simulation form the core interests. The
research priorities in planning are economic issues and optimum exploitation of scarce resources . Some members are also working on projects on data management and information systems .
Another major research area in the department
is mathematical planning with special emphasis on
integer programming. Project control and maintenance form the other area of interest at the department. It needs
be mentioned that the First National Congress on Maintenance was held by the department
in 1993.
The activities pursued within the department
since its establishment has been oriented towards tackling the problems in
local industries in the two main areas of manufacturing
and planning . This includes, in addition to those mentioned above, projects
such as:
Manufacturing:
- Studies on manpower
efficiency at Isfahan Steel Mill
-
Determination of the profitability and efficiency achieved in organizations through development and manpower
downsizing programs
Planning:
- Simulation of brick
production line
- Optimum
design for water supply systems
-
Optimization of pipeline diameter for water supply systems
- Survey
and improvement of Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT)
-
Evaluation of regional development projects
- Studies
on the various systems of Mobarakeh Steel Complex (the largest
steel manufacturing site in Iran)
