Understanding and manipulating nanosized particles is crucial for the advancement of nanotechnology research. Dependent light scattering of noble metals can be used to achieve new material responses that can be used in different applications. Dependent light scattering of nanoparticles allows the understanding of orientation and location of closely positioned particles. Besides, dependently scattering metallic particles create significantly enhanced near fields and high absorption rates when excited at their plasmon resonance. It is used for spectrally selective heating and melting of nanosized particles as a nanomanufacturing method. With numerical methods dependent scattering properties of particles can be obtained. In this study, the dependent optical absorption efficiencies of metallic nanoparticles are obtained with the newly developed Integrated Poynting Vector Approach (IPVA). This is used in conjunction with a numerical light scattering solution tool DDSCAT. Results indicate that IPVA and DDSCAT together can be used for the estimation of scattering and absorption of nanoparticles affected by the near field of other particles in their close vicinity. The method is suggested to be suitable for the understanding of physical mechanisms behind dependent scattering prior to experiments that require lots of effort and resources.

Topological constraints on HMO heteroatom parameters Türker, Burhan Lemi (1997-01-01) Within the Huckel molecular orbital framework, the effect of topological factors on the selection of heteroatom parameters for heteroconjugated systems is discussed.
Structural modification with additional degrees of freedom in large systems Canbaloğlu, Güvenç; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) In the design and development stages of mechanical structures, it is important to predict the dynamic characteristics of modified structures. Since time and cost are critical in design and development stage, structural modification methods predicting the dynamic responses of modified structures from those of the original structure and modification properties are very important, especially for large systems. In this thesis structural modification methods are investigated and an effective structural modificat...
Development of a shell finite element for large deformation analysis of laminated composites Yıldız, Tuba; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) The objective of the present work is to investigate the behavior of laminated fiber -reinforced polymer matrix composite shell structures under bending load with the help of a modified finite element computer code which was previously developed for the analysis of pseudo-layered single material shells. The laminates are assumed to be orthotropic and the formulation is adapted to first order shear deformation theory. The aim is to determine the large deformation characteristics numerically, and to predict th...
An investigation of the principles of laboratory-scale particle-bed comminution Cimilli, Hande; Hoşten, Çetin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) The objective of this thesis is to investigate the principles of laboratory-scale particle bed comminution in a piston-die-press. The feed materials used in this investigation are quartz and calcite which were stage-crushed and dry screened to produce 3.35 x 2.36, 2.36 x 1.7, 1.7 x 1.18, 1.18 x 0.85, and minus 0.85mm size fractions. First, these narrow size fractions (excluding minus 0.85mm fraction) were comminuted under different pressures to determine the baseline for energy utilization. Then, these size...
Development of a web-based dynamic scheduling methodology for a flexible manufacturing cell using agent based distributed internert applications Alataş, Boran; Anlağan, Ömer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) The increasing importance of computer leads to develop new manufacturing methods. One of the most important example; 3unmanned shop floor4 model aims, the mankind can work in jobs that they can be more efficient and more comfortable. As the base of this model, in Middle East Technical University Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory (METUCIM) 3Agent Version 1.14 system is developed. Windows Distributed Internet Applications (DNA) modeling technique is used for the software development. In the develop...
