The relaxation, creep, temperature-dependence and frequency-dependence characteristics of sweet potato roots were evaluated using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The sweet potato was cut into rectangular to meet the testing requirements and wrapped with sealing film or aluminum foil to prevent water loss. The temperature scanning tests were carried out at 2 degrees C/min and 10 degrees C/min in the temperature range of 30-100 degrees C, and the frequency sweep tests were conducted in a range of 50-0.1 Hz. The regression results suggested that 5-element Maxwell model described relaxation behavior better for consisting of two relaxation times; the creep behavior matched the Burgers model well, and changes in creep parameters were observed after each creep cycle. The temperature scanning tests revealed that starch gelatinization was only obtained when the temperature increased at 2 degrees C/min. A resonance frequency was detected both in 3-point bending and compression deforming clamps.

Dynamic Viscoelastic Properties of Rice Kernels Studied by Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer CHEN, Ke-cheng; Lİ, Dong; WANG, Li-jun; Özkan, Necati; CHEN, Xiao Dong; MAO, Zhi-huai (2007-01-01) Dynamic viscoelastic properties of brown rice kernels were investigated using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). In order to meet the sample requirements for the DMA and prevent moisture loss of rice kernels during the DMA measurements, necessary precautions were taken. To prevent moisture loss of rice kernels during the DMA measurements at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 120 degrees centigrade, rice kernels were wrapped with a thin layer of sealing film. Then the wrapped rice kernels were a...
Dynamic performances of kinematically and dynamically adjustable planar mechanisms İyiay, Erdinç; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) In this thesis, the dynamic performances of kinematically and dynamically adjustable planar mechanisms have been investigated. An adjustable mechanism is here defined to be a mechanism where some of the kinematic and/or dynamic parameters are changed in a controlled manner in order to optimize the dynamic behaviour of the mechanism in spite of variable operating conditions. Here, variable operating conditions refer to variable load(s) on the mechanism and/or variable desired input motion. The dynamic behavi...
Linear viscoelastic properties of polymeric suspensions Bayram, G; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Orbey, N (1999-05-06) Linear viscoelastic properties of a model suspension containing hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and glass beads with filler concentration up to 30% by volume were investigated by using a Haake parallel disk rheometer. For all the suspensions, it was observed that the rheological properties such as the storage modulus, G', loss modulus, G" and complex viscosity, eta* increases with the filler content, Phi. The relaxation spectra was calculated by using G' and G". The relaxation moduli, G(i)(lambda(i...
Analysis of thin walled open section tapered beams using hybrid stress finite element method Akman, Mehmet Nazım; Oral, Süha; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In this thesis, hybrid stress finite element is formulated for the analysis of the isotropic, thin walled, open section beams with variable cross sections. The beam element has two nodes each having seven degrees of freedom. Assumption of stress field is sufficient to determine the element stiffness matrix. Axial, flexural and torsional effects are taken into account in the analysis. The methodology can be applied both to the tapered and the uniform beams. Throughout this study, firstly element cross-sectio...
3d modeling of on-chip acoustophoretic particle manipulation in a polymer microfluidic device Çaǧatay, E.; Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Çetin, B. (2016-01-01) This study focuses on understanding of the sensitivities of the acoustophoretic process on uncertainties/errors in the geometric properties of the chip material and the piezoelectric actuators. The sensitivity of the acoustophoretic process is investigated both numerically and experimentally. For the numerical simulations a three dimensional finite element model is used. In the experimental analysis, a microfluidic chip with two stations is used. The first station has the accurate geometric values of the de...
