Surface damping treatment concepts are developed utilizing viscoelastic materials as a damping layer where it is applied to the main structure. The main aim for adding these materials is to increase cyclic deformation in the frequency region of interest, which increases dissipated energy from the main structure. Constrained layer damping treatment is the most common, where the viscoelastic layer is constrained by a stiff top layer. Recently, a spacer or standoff layer has been added between the base and constrained damping layer to increase the damping performance of the structure. Adding a standoff layer increases the distance between the damping layer and the base layer, which results in increasing shear strain. Also, the electromagnetic and acoustic metamaterial concepts are extended to reduce vibration levels using the vibration absorber analogy, known as mechanical metamaterial or metastructure concept. It is developed by embedding vibration absorbers to the main structure rather than attaching them in this concept. In the frame of this thesis study, novel damping treatment designs are developed using surface damping treatment and vibration absorber concepts to optimize dynamic behavior and reduce vibration amplitudes of the main structure. The proposed designs are compared using the performance metric that quantifies the vibration damping performance of the design. Hence, the main aim is to find optimal design geometry that maximizes vibration amplitude reduction with minimum mass. The modelling of these complex geometries is developed in ANSYS finite element simulation environment. Finally, the proposed optimum designs are manufactured and tested to verify the methodology used and finite element results.

A simplified model for the analysis of machine foundations on a nonsaturated, elastic and linear soil layer Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü (Elsevier BV, 2001-12) A simplified semi-analytical method, which considers advantages of analytical and numerical approaches, is developed to compute the response of a rigid strip and circular machine foundations - subjected to a harmonic excitation - resting on a layer of soil deposit with a noncompliant rock or rock-like material at the base. The method is based on variational principles and minimization of energy using Hamilton's principle. Nondimensional equations are developed for both type of footing resting on a soil laye...
Frequency dependence of the constitutive parameters of causal perfectly matched anisotropic absorbers Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (1996-12-01) Perfectly matched layers (PML's), which are employed for mesh truncation in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) or in finite element methods (FEM's), can be realized by artificial anisotropic materials with properly chosen permittivity and permeability tensors. The tensor constitutive parameters must satisfy the Kramers-Kronig relationships, so that the law of causality holds. These relations are used to relate the real and imaginary parts of the constitutive parameters of the PML media to deduce the a...
Thinking the future of membranes: Perspectives for advanced and new membrane materials and manufacturing processes Nunes, Suzana P.; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Ramon, Guy Z.; Visser, Tymen; Koops, Geert Henk; Jin, Wanqin; Ulbricht, Mathias (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-15) The state-of-the-art of membrane technology is characterized by a number of mature applications such as sterile filtration, hemodialysis, water purification and gas separation, as well as many more niche applications of successful membrane-based separation and processing of fluid mixtures. The membrane industry is currently employing a portfolio of established materials, mostly standard polymers or inorganic materials (not originally developed for membranes), and easily scalable manufacturing processes such...
Evaluation of surface free energy for PMMA films Ozcan, Canturk; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2008-04-05) Surface free energy (SFE) is a property resulted from the chemical structure and the orientation of the molecules at the surface boundary of the materials. For solids, it can be calculated from the contact angles of liquid drops with known surface tension, formed on the solid surface. There are various SFE evaluation methods based on different theoretical assumptions. In this study, SFE and the dispersive, polar, acidic and basic components of the SFE of a polymeric material, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA...
Facile Synthesis of Three-Dimensional Pt-TiO2 Nano-networks: A Highly Active Catalyst for the Hydrolytic Dehydrogenation of Ammonia-Borane Khalily, Mohammad Aref; Eren, Hamit; Akbayrak, Serdar; Susapto, Hepi Hari; BIYIKLI, NECMİ; Özkar, Saim; GÜLER, Mustafa Özgür (2016-09-26) Three-dimensional (3D) porous metal and metal oxide nanostructures have received considerable interest because organization of inorganic materials into 3D nanomaterials holds extraordinary properties such as low density, high porosity, and high surface area. Supramolecular self-assembled peptide nanostructures were exploited as an organic template for catalytic 3D Pt-TiO2 nano-network fabrication. A 3D peptide nanofiber aerogel was conformally coated with TiO2 by atomic layer deposition (ALD) with angstrom-...
