Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly developing set of methods with lots of benefits. This technology promises fast, cheap and lightweight fabrication for the antennas and waveguides. Different AM technologies such as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), Stereolithography (SLA), Material Jetting and Powder Bed Fusion are used to fabricate antennas operating at various frequency bands and provide desirable results. To test the feasibility of the AM technologies for antenna manufacturing, a specific antenna has been modeled and fabricated via FFF and SLA type of 3D printers. The fabricated antennas are coated with copper spray and aluminum and the radiation parameters are measured. The accordance of the measurement results with the simulations and CNC machined pair have been inspected.

Use of Auxetic Infill Structures for the Compensation of Shrinkage in Fused Filament Fabrication Process Uncu, Rahman; Bacikoglu, Mehmet Canberk; Caliskan, Burak; Yaman, Ulaş (2023-01-01) The polymer parts fabricated by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process deteriorated noticeably in terms of dimensional accuracy due to the thermal processes during the fabrication and cooling phases. Commonly, researchers tend to concentrate on modifying the CAD model or fabricating the parts larger than the nominal then post-processing the artifacts to compensate for shrinkage. This paper investigates the effects of auxetic infill structures on shrinkage compensation. Parts with different internal geomet...
Development of a three-dimensional basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically active near-fault region of Gölyaka basin, Düzce, Turkey Yousefi-Bavil, Karim; KOÇKAR, MUSTAFA KEREM; Akgün, Haluk (2022-01-01) © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.The high seismicity and tectonic activity of the study area located in a near-fault region in Gölyaka, Düzce, results in a bedrock geometry highly complex in the sense of faulting and deformation. This makes this area very challenging in terms of a site response study that would aid seismic hazard assessment. This study develops a basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically formed Plio-Quaternary fluvial sedimentary layer...
Real-time measurement of laser beam characteristics for a waterjet-guided laser machine Subasi, Levent; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Yaman, Ulaş (2022-01-01) © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.Waterjet-guided laser machining is a novel process used for precision cutting and drilling of various materials and geometries. There are many noise factors in the process affecting the laser beam characteristics, namely the effective cutting length and laser power in the waterjet. Although these variables are mainly set by the laser and waterjet parameters, uncontrollable factors result in variations. Pre...
Summary of the Abrahamson and Gulerce NGA-SUB ground-motion model for subduction earthquakes Abrahamson, Norman A; Gülerce, Zeynep (2022-01-01) © The Author(s) 2022.A set of region-specific ground-motion models (GMMs) for subduction zone earthquakes are developed based on the database compiled by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) Next Generation Attenuation: Subduction project (NGA-SUB). The subset used to develop the GMMs includes 3914 recordings from 113 subduction interface earthquakes with magnitudes between 5 and 9.2 and 4850 recordings from 89 intraslab events with magnitudes between 5 and 7.8. The functional form of t...
Design of a linear to circular polarization converter integrated into a concrete construction for radome applications Öztürk, Murat; Sevim, Umur Korkut; Altlntaş, Olcay; Ünal, Emin; Akgöl, Oguzhan; Karaaslan, Muharrem; Sabah, Cumali (2021-01-01) © 2021 The Author(s). Published by Cambridge University Press in association with the European Microwave Association.In this paper, we present a linear to circular polarization converter integrated in a concrete structure to eliminate signal transmission problem originated from the concrete buildings in microwave regime. Two polarization converter samples and a control specimen made by traditional concrete are designed and their signal transmission responses are compared experimentally. Axial ratio values w...
