In this thesis, numerical and experimental design of a multi-frequency underwater acoustic transducer with cylindrical piezoelectric ceramic tubes is studied. In the numerical design, the acoustic, mechanical and thermal performances of the transducer are investigated by means of finite element method (FEM) in ANSYS. The design of the transducer that meets the acoustic requirements is checked in terms of the mechanical and thermal performances. After the completion of the numerical design, the transducer is manufactured and some performance tests such as impedance test, hydrostatic pressure test and full-power operation test are applied to it. Finally, the results of the numerical and experimental design are compared. As a result, the design of an underwater acoustic transducer that operates at two frequency bands centered at about 30 and 60 kHz under a hydrostatic pressure of 30 bars is accomplished. This transducer also resist to a shock loading of 500g for 1 millisecond.

Assessment of silicon, glass, FR4, PDMS and PMMA as a chip material for acoustic particle/cell manipulation in microfluidics
Açıkgöz, Hande N.; Karaman, Alara; Şahin, M. Akif; Çaylan, Ömer R.; Büke, Göknur C.; Yıldırım, Ender; Eroğlu, İrem C.; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Çetin, Barbaros; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (2023-03-01)
In the present study, the capabilities of different chip materials for acoustic particle manipulation have been assessed with the same microfluidic device architecture, under the same actuator and flow conditions. Silicon, glass, epoxy with fiberglass filling (FR4), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) are considered as chip materials. The acoustophoretic chips in this study were manufactured with four different fabrication methods: plasma etching, chemical etching, micromachining ...
Design of a tuned vibration absorber for a slender hollow cylindrical structure
Aksoy, Tuğrul; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Acar, Bülent (Informa UK Limited, 2020-09-01)
In this paper, details of the design work for a tuned vibration absorber to be used on a hollow cylindrical structure is presented. The vibration problem is of resonant type and the tuned vibration absorber is designed to suppress the displacement vibration response of the free end of the slender hollow structure dominated by the contribution of its lowest transverse vibration modes. The structure is modeled using a commercial finite element software. Finite element model of the structure is verified using ...
Design of a compliant mechanism to amplify the stroke of a piezoelectric stack actuator
Keskin, Tamer; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Main objective of this study is to design a compliant mechanism with high frequency and high mechanical amplification ratio to be used for amplifying the stroke of a piezostack actuator. In this thesis, first of all, related literature is investigated and then alternative conceptual designs are established utilizing the mechanisms found in literature survey. Once best conceptual design is selected, detailed design of this mechanism is done. For detailed design of the compliant mechanism, topology optimizati...
Design and development of a complex shear modulus measurement setup for viscoelastic materials
Özgen, Gökhan Osman (2005-01-01)
Details of the design and development study of a complex shear modulus measurement setup for viscoelastic materials have been presented in this paper. The new setup is specifically designed for measuring the complex shear modulus of pressure sensitive adhesives. The setup consists of a rigid block that is connected to a rigid fixture through two identical shear specimens of the viscoelastic material to be tested. The rigid block and the shear specimens resemble a single degree of freedom system. Once the fr...
Development of high fill factor and high performance uncooled infrared detector pixels
Küçük, Şeniz Esra; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
This thesis presents the design, fabrication and characterization of high performance and high fill factor surface micromachined uncooled infrared resistive microbolometer detectors which can be used in large format focal plane arrays (FPAs). The detector pixels, which have a pixel pitch of 25 μm, are designed and fabricated as two-level structures using the enhanced sandwich type resistor while the active material is selected as Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO). First level of the pixel structure is allo...
