A Modulus gradient elasticity model for nano-reinforced composites
Gülaşık, Hasan; Gürses, Ercan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
In this work, nanocomposites and their numerical simulations are studied. At the beginning of the study, the properties of the polymer nanocomposites are explained based on a specific nano-inclusion and polymer matrix couple, namely, carbon nanotube (CNT) and thermoplastic polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer. In a literature comparison study, it is shown that the properties of the constituents, interface properties, manufacturing methods, characterization methods and therefore mechanical properties of the C...
A macroscopic model for self-organized aggregation in swarm robotic systems
Soysal, Onur; Şahin, Erol (2006-10-01)
We study the self-organized aggregation of a swarm of robots in a closed arena. We assume that the perceptual range of the robots are smaller than the size of the arena and the robots do not have information on the size of the swarm or the arena. Using a probabilistic aggregation behavior model inspired from studies of social insects, we propose a macroscopic model for predicting the final distribution of aggregates in terms of the parameters of the aggregation behavior, the arena size and the sensing chara...
A RANDOM-FIELD MODEL FOR THE ESTIMATION OF SEISMIC HAZARD
Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (Elsevier BV, 1993-10-01)
A stochastic framework is developed, in terms of the theory of homogeneous random functions, to estimate the seismic hazard associated with linearly extending seismic sources. The formulation is carried out in the space-time domain. An earthquake having at least a magnitude of m is assumed to occur whenever the total strain energy accumulated over the potential rupture plane exceeds the energy level corresponding to this magnitude, m. An alternative formulation, in which an earthquake is generated when the ...

A constitutive model for finite deformation of amorphous polymers
FLEISCHHAUER, R.; Dal, Hüsnü; KALISKE, M.; SCHNEIDER, K. (2012-12-01)
The paper introduces a three-dimensional constitutive model for the mechanical behavior of amorphous polymers, thermosets and thermoplastics. The approach is formulated in terms of finite deformations, appropriate for glassy polymers. The rheology of the model consists of a Langevin-type free energy function for the energy storage due to molecular alignment connected in parallel to a Maxwell element with a viscoplastic dashpot. The model proves successful for the constitutive description of glassy polymers ...
