A depth sensing indentation hardness test with an associated analysis is described as a convenient and simple technique for characterizing mechanical properties of food materials, such as hardness (H), elastic modulus (E), and an elasticity index (I-E) which represents the ratio of elastic to total deformation. Storage modulus (G) and loss tangent (tandelta) of the selected model food material, a whey protein concentrate (WPC) gel, have also been determined using an oscillatory dynamic testing. Fractal dimension (D) and strain rate (or frequency) exponent (n) of the WPC gels were determined using both the indentation and dynamic test results. A good correlation between the results from the indentation and the dynamic tests was established. The effects of protein concentration, deformation rate, and chemical treatment on the mechanical properties of the WPC gels were clearly illustrated using the indentation test.

EVALUATION OF TRANSVERSE SHEAR MODULI OF COMPOSITE SANDWICH BEAMS THROUGH THREE-POINT BENDING TESTS Şener, Özgün; ATALAY, OĞUZ; ATASOY, MERT; Kayran, Altan (2018-11-15) Transverse shear moduli of the sandwich core and flexural stiffness of all-composite sandwich constructions are determined with three-point beam bending tests, and compared with the analytical and finite element analysis solutions. Additionally, Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system is employed to validate the experimental results by monitoring the displacements. The effect of orientation of the composite core material with respect to the beam axis on the shear modulus of the core material itself, flexural...
Evaluation of cement mortars by ultrasound Paksoy, Nesibe Gözde; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) Ultrasonic testing of concrete is often used for the assessment of its uniformity, strength, modulus of elasticity, durability and etc. therefore, the related parameters of testing such as the transducer frequency, the specimen geometry and etc. are well-known. On the other hand, most of the concrete properties are affected by the cement and the mechanical as well as some durability properties of cements are determined through cement mortars. Applications of ultrasound on determining the properties of cemen...
Fast and accurate analysis of three-dimensional structures involving near-zero-index materials Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Koyaz, Yesim; İbili, Hande; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-09-01) We present efficient and accurate frequency-domain analysis of three-dimensional structures involving near-zero-index (NZI) materials with very small permittivity and/or permeability values. Accurate simulations are required to analyze these homogenized models that represent metamaterials with exotic NZI properties, which can be useful in a plethora of applications. When traditional solution methods are directly applied, however, instability and inaccuracy issues arise, making solutions inefficient and inac...
Analysis of flexible pavements incorporating nonlinear resilient behavior of unbound granular layers Karagöz, Cem; Acar, Soner Osman; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) Traditionally, the resilient modulus values obtained from repeated unconfined or triaxial compression tests are used as the elastic modulus of granular layers in structural analysis of flexible pavements. Sometimes the resilient modulus of granular materials are estimated from known California bearing ratios (CBR) or stabilometer resistance (R) values by simple regression equations. On the other hand, it is well known that stress-strain relation for unbound granular materials is nonlinear and the resilient ...
Sliding frictional contact between a rigid punch and a laterally graded elastic medium Dağ, Serkan; Yidirim, Bora; Ozatag, A. Cihan (2009-11-01) Analytical and computational methods are developed for contact mechanics analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) that possess elastic gradation in the lateral direction. In the analytical formulation, the problem of a laterally graded half-plane in sliding frictional contact with a rigid punch of an arbitrary profile is considered. The governing partial differential equations and the boundary conditions of the problem are satisfied through the use of Fourier transformation. The problem is then redu...
