Experimental and analytical investigation of the mechanics of crawl stroke swimming
Akis, T; Orcan, Y (Elsevier BV, 2004-03-01)
A three dimensional analytical model for crawl stroke swimming is developed in which the swimmer is modeled as a body and two arms connected to the body at the shoulder joints. Each arm is assumed to consist of three segments. The numerical results obtained from the model are compared with the results of two sets of experiments performed. In the first series of experiments, the tether forces developed in crawl stroke swimming are measured and a linear correlation between the tether force and the stroke rate...
Experimental and numerical investigation of mechanical properties of additively manufactured auxetic structures
Taşdemir, Mehmet; Evis, Zafer; Department of Engineering Sciences (2022-8)
In this thesis, two novel unit cell designs were constituted by combining different auxetic structures in literature, and they were produced via the 3D printers, which is one of the most popular additive manufacturing methods nowadays. Based on the unit cells produced with various parameters, tensile and compression samples were manufactured and the mechanical properties of auxetic structures and their feasibility in the field of additive manufacturing were investigated. Although polymer-based materials are...
Experimental and numerical investigation of sheet metal hydroforming (flexforming) process
Hatipoğlu, Hasan Ali; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
Sheet metal hydroforming(flexforming) is a process generally used in the manufacturing of aerospace parts in which a rubber diaphragm forms the sheet on a die with the help pressurized fluid and by this aspect it is different from the conventional stamping process. Some defects occur in the parts that are manufactured by this method and they are not different from the general sheet metal forming defects. Wrinkling, tearing and springback are among those defects. Variety of parts makes difficult to encounter...
Experimental and numerical study of flow and thermal transport in fractured rock
Tavakkoli Osgouei, Yashar; Akın, Serhat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-01)
An experimental and numerical study was carried out to investigate matrix-fracture thermal transport in fractured rock. Two different synthetically fractured core plugs were used during the flow-through experiments while core plugs' outer surface was maintained at two different constant temperatures. To investigate the matrix-fracture thermal transport, cold water was injected through the single fracture core plugs at different flow rates. A film type heat flux sensor was used in the fractured core plug to ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of ballistic impact behaviour of high strength aluminium plates
Başaran, Güralp; Gürses, Ercan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
A hybrid solution method was used to examine the ballistic collision situation to be used in armored vehicle design. This hybrid solution method includes an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and a Finite Element (FE) solver. MATLAB was used for ANN model, and LSDYNA® was used as FE solver. For this purpose, first ballistic tests were performed, and projectile residual velocities and depth of penetrations were measured. The FE model was confirmed by ballistic tests. After the FE model validation, FE analyses w...
