Soft biological tissue material models in the literature are frequently limited to integer order constitutive relations where the order of differentiation of stress and/or strain is integer-valued. However, it has been demonstrated that fractional calculus theory applied in soft tissue material model formulation yields more accurate and reliable soft tissue material models. In this study, firstly a fractional order (where the order of differentation of stress in the constitutive relation is non-integer-valued) linear viscoelastic material model for soft tissues is fitted to force-displacement-time indentation test data and compared with two different integer order linear viscoelastic material models by using MATLAB® optimization toolbox. After the superiority of the fractional order material model compared to integer order material models has been shown, the linear fractional order material model is extended to its nonlinear counterpart in finite deformation regime. The material model developed is assumed to be isotropic and homogeneous. v A user-subroutine is developed for the material model formulated to implement it into the commercial finite element software Msc.Marc 2010. The user-subroutine developed is verified by performing a small strain finite element analysis and comparing the results obtained with linear viscoelastic counterpart of the model on MATLAB®. Finally, the unknown coefficients of the fractional order material model are identified by employing the inverse finite element method. A material parameter set with an amount of accuracy is determined and the material model with the parameters identified is capable of simulating the three different indentation test protocols, i.e., “relaxation”, “creep” and “cyclic loading” protocols with a good accuracy.

Non-integer viscoelastic constitutive law to model soft biological tissues to in-vivo indentation Demirci, Nagehan; Tönük, Ergin (2014-01-01) Purpose: During the last decades, derivatives and integrals of non-integer orders are being more commonly used for the description of constitutive behavior of various viscoelastic materials including soft biological tissues. Compared to integer order constitutive relations, non-integer order viscoelastic material models of soft biological tissues are capable of capturing a wider range of viscoelastic behavior obtained from experiments. Although integer order models may yield comparably accurate results, non...
Design and verification of diamond based capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer Çetin, Ahmet Murat; Bayram, Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) Potential applications such as high intensity focused ultrasound in medical therapeutics require larger output pressures. To offer unprecedented acoustic output pressure in transmit without the limitations, Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer operation modes of collapse and collapse-snapback are introduced in literature. Both operation modes require the membrane to contact the substrate surface, which poses a problem on the durability of the membrane in terms of structural integrity and tribologi...
Numerical and Experimental Determination of the Residual Stress State in Multipass Welded API 5L X70 Plates Garipova, Nuriya; Batıgün, Caner; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2014-01-01) Residual stress distributions in multipass welded API 5L X70 steel plates were determined by numerical and experimental methods. SYSWELD finite element software was used for numerical simulations. Microstructure variations were also considered for calculation of residual stresses. The continuous cooling transformation diagram was obtained via JMatPro software. The results showed that residual stress distribution is sensitive to number of weld passes, and microstructure changes. The simulation results were c...
Improved design procedure for double-ridged waveguides Prakash, VVS; Mittra, R; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2002-11-01) This article presents a novel methodology for designing double-ridged waveguides by numerically optimizing their geometric shape such that they sustain the two prescribed lowest order modes. The field solution to the problem is obtained by using the finite element method. The performance of the microgenetic algorithm and the quasi-Newton methods is studied for carrying out geometry optimization. This generalized formulation is capable of handling inhomogeneous material fillings in the guide, and computation...
Modeling of localization and necking in dual phase steels through polycrystalline plasticity Çakmak, Serhat Onur.; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2020) In this thesis, the effect of ferrite crystallographic orientation distribution and other microstructural parameters such as martensite morphology, martensite volume fraction, and ferrite grain size on the plastic deformation, localization, and the necking behavior of dual-phase steels are investigated. Two different type of finite element models, i.e. full size micron-scale polycrystalline samples and polycrystalline Representative Volume Element (RVEs) are built through Voronoi tessellation. Local crystal...
