Aksoy, Tuğrul
Supported hollow structural elements have a usage area in various types of structures or machines. They exhibit an oscillatory behavior under various excitations since their modal frequencies are quite low. This behavior results in vibrations which reach huge amplitudes especially at the tip of the structures. This situation may be harmful for the structural integrity of the structures and may reduce the service life. Moreover, these vibrations can distort the performance of the machines’ which involve the supported hollow structure. In this thesis study, a tuned vibration absorber (also called as tuned mass damper) design is proposed to suppress the vibrations of a supported hollow cylindrical structure under impulsive loading. Within the scope of this study, a tuned vibration absorber (TVA) designed and applied on a sample supported hollow cylinder structure. Then, the mitigation in vibration amplitudes as a result of this application is investigated. In order to see the effectiveness of the TVA application, a physical structure involving a supported hollow cylindrical structure is designed and manufactured. TVA is designed by considering the modal parameters of this physical structure and applied on it. Experiments are carried out in order to verify the effectiveness of the TVA application on the dynamics of the system. After then, dynamic test are carried out on the system and the mitigation in vibration levels is investigated as the result of the TVA application.

Robustness Analysis of Intentional Mistuning Patterns in Randomly Mistuned Bladed Disk Assemblies
Yumer, M. E.; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2010-09-22)
It is known that bladed disks, which are usually designed as cyclically symmetric structures, undergo considerable amount of forced response amplitude magnification due to the phenomenon called mistuning. Mistuning is inevitable for any cyclically symmetric bladed disk assembly since it is caused by manufacturing tolerances, material properties and operational wear. Since reducing the level of mistuning beyond certain limits is not possible with the current technology, the attempts are rather made to reduce...
Investigation of novel geometrical design concepts for damping treatments
Çavuş, Bertuğhan; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-11)
Surface damping treatment concepts are developed utilizing viscoelastic materials as a damping layer where it is applied to the main structure. The main aim for adding these materials is to increase cyclic deformation in the frequency region of interest, which increases dissipated energy from the main structure. Constrained layer damping treatment is the most common, where the viscoelastic layer is constrained by a stiff top layer. Recently, a spacer or standoff layer has been added between the base and con...
Powder metal development for electrical motor applications
Bayramli, E; Golgelioglu, O; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2005-04-10)
In this paper, first the development process of a soft magnetic composite material for use in motor applications is described. Various mixtures are prepared to identify an optimum mix. It is found that highest packing is achieved for a mixing ratio of 45 % of 170 mesh particle size with 55 % 325 mesh particle size. The coating of the particles is obtained by using the "wetting method". The mechanical properties of the samples; such as stress versus strain, Strain% versus composition%, etc. are given, also s...
Nonlinear Vibrations of a Flexible L-shaped Beam Using Differential Quadrature Method
Samandari, Hamed; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2015-02-05)
Flexible L-shaped beams are integrated sub-components of several navy and space structures where overall response of the system is affected by these structures. Hence, an understanding of the dynamical properties of these structural systems is required for their design and control. Recent studies show that the dynamic response of beam like structures undergoing large deformation is nonlinear in nature where phenomenon such as jump and chaotic response can be detected. In this study, nonlinear free vibratio...

VURUSKAN, Ilker; Sert, Cüneyt; Ozer, Mehmet Bulent (2014-06-27)
In the last decade, there is a renewed interest in the integration of a sloshing tank into structural systems to decrease the vibrations of the structure. The purpose of this study is to try different numerical simulation programs for further use in studies in evaluation of the effectiveness of the sloshing tank absorbers for structural systems. The programs chosen for sloshing simulations are COMSOL Multiphysics, ANSYS CFX and ANSYS-FLUENT. In the numerical simulations, the free surface shape during sloshi...
