In this thesis, transverse vibration of a cracked beam on an elastic foundation and the effect of crack and foundation parameters on transverse vibration natural frequencies are studied. Analytical formulations are derived for a beam with rectangular cross section. The crack is an open type edge crack placed in the medium of the beam and it is uniform along the width of the beam. The cracked beam rests on an elastic foundation. The beam is modeled by two different beam theories, which are Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and Timoshenko beam theory. The effect of the crack is considered by representing the crack by rotational springs. The compliance of the spring that represents the crack is obtained by using fracture mechanics theories. Different foundation models are discussed; these models are Winkler Foundation, Pasternak Foundation, and generalized foundation. The equations of motion are derived by applying Newton's 2nd law on an infinitesimal beam element. Non-dimensional parameters are introduced into equations of motion. The beam is separated into pieces at the crack location. By applying the compatibility conditions at the crack location and boundary conditions, characteristic equation whose roots give the non-dimensional natural frequencies is obtained. Numerical solutions are done for a beam with square cross sectional area. The effects of crack ratio, crack location and foundation parameters on transverse vibration natural frequencies are presented. It is observed that existence of crack reduces the natural frequencies. Also the elastic foundation increases the stiffness of the system thus the natural frequencies. The natural frequencies are also affected by the location of the crack.

Vibration Analysis of a Cracked Beam on an Elastic Foundation Batihan, Ali Cagri; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (2016-06-01) The transverse vibrations of cracked beams with rectangular cross sections resting on Pasternak and generalized elastic foundations are considered. Both the Euler-Bernoulli (EB) and Timoshenko beam (TB) theories are used. The open edge crack is represented as a rotational spring whose compliance is obtained by the fracture mechanics. By applying the compatibility conditions between the beam segments at the crack location and the boundary conditions, the characteristic equations are derived, from which the n...
Nonlinear Vibrations of a Beam with a Breathing Edge Crack Using Multiple Trial Functions Batihan, Ali C.; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2016-01-28) In this paper, a beam like structure with a single edge crack is modeled and analyzed in order to study the nonlinear effects of breathing crack on transverse vibrations of a beam. In literature, edge cracks are generally modeled as open cracks, in which the beam is separated into two pieces at the crack location and these pieces are connected to each other with a rotational spring to represent the effect of crack. The open edge crack model is a widely used assumption; however, it does not consider the nonl...
Theoretical Analysis of Open Spherical Microphone Arrays for Acoustic Intensity Measurements Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2014-02-01) Acoustic intensity is a vectorial measure of acoustic energy flow through a given region of interest. Three-dimensional measurement of acoustic intensity requires special microphone array configurations. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of open spherical microphone arrays for the 3-D measurement of acoustic intensity. The calculations of the pressure and the particle velocity components of the sound field inside a closed volume are expressed using the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation. The con...
Constitutive parameters determination of bi-anisotropic metamaterials using a waveguide method HASAR, UĞUR CEM; BUTE, MUSA; Muratoğlu, Abdurrahim; BAROSSO, JOSE JOAQUIM; KARACALI, TEVHİT; ERTUĞRUL, MEHMET (2016-01-04) A retrieval method is proposed for determination of electromagnetic properties of bi-anisotropic metamaterial (MM) slabs inserted in a waveguide. For this goal, forward and backward reflection and transmission scattering (S-) parameters of a configuration where the slab is positioned into a waveguide are first derived and then a procedure for extraction of electromagnetic properties of this slab is presented. We performed full-wave electromagnetic simulations on the bi-anisotropic MM slab with split-ring-re...
Investigation of tightly coupled arrays for wideband applications Arda, Kaan; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-10) This thesis aims to provide in depth research on tightly coupled dipole arrays to be used in ultrawideband apertures applications. First, operation principles of tightly coupled dipole arrays are investigated. Starting from the Wheeler’s current sheet aperture concept, some calculations on bandwidth and impedance concepts are conducted. B.A. Munk’s addition to the concept, use of capacitive elements between adjacent dipoles, are introduced. Array unit cell is modeled using equivalent circuit approach,...
