The aim of this thesis is to investigate an alternative mode of transportation for METU and the impacts of spatial transformations generated by the proposed system in an architectural context. This study embraces modern concepts of space-time in the practice of architectural design, and involves a sensitive consideration of the perception of space relative to position, speed and movement. In an urban context, the thesis unfolds spatial transformations affected by new movement technology. While the notions of movement and speed fundamentally shape the image of the contemporary city, METU campus will be reanalyzed within this framework.

Numerical prediction and experimental investigation of fretting fatigue crack initiation at railway axle - wheel contacts Gürer, Göksu; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) The aim of this thesis is to develop a procedure based on the multi-axial fatigue theories that can be used at the design stage for minimizing fretting fatigue failures of the railway axles. The premature fretting fatigue failure of the press-fitted wheel-axle assembly was investigated by means of mechanical and metallurgical methods. First, the loading path obtained through finite element analysis was implemented into the stress-based multiaxial fatigue models to predict possible sites of crack initiation....
Prediction of ground borne vibrations due to railway traffic Alan, Salih; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) The aim of this thesis is to analyze the ground borne vibrations originating from railway traffic. A numerical prediction model is developed and elements of the railway structure are analyzed for ground vibrations due to railway traffic. The proposed prediction model is a time domain three-dimensional model. Modal parameters of track-and-ground-coupled structure and railway vehicle are obtained by modal analyses. Impulse response functions are calculated from modal parameters. The vibration responses are pr...
Conservation and transformation of railway areas : Iskenderun Terminus area Fidan, Derya; Özgönül, Nimet; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012) The aim of this thesis is to understand the conservation and transformation problems of railway heritage and to prepare a conservation and transformation principles for Iskenderun railway area. Primarily, it is tried to understand the historical process and the current situation of conservation of railway areas. In addition, in this study theoretical and historical framework of transformation of railway areas is developed in the light of international charters and documents. Transformation examples from Tur...
A green touch for the future of distance education Gündoğan, Mihraç Banu; Eby, Gülsün (Elsevier, 2012-5-01) This paper aims to draw attention to the sustainability of distance learning in terms of the design process based on learner characteristics and technology usage. Distance learning has become a cyberized system owing its presence to developments in digital technologies. Technological developments solve some immediate problems but also have the risk of leading to even greater ones. To ‘sustain’ is not only about keeping up, supporting or maintaining continuity but also is about nourishing, cultivation and ac...
