This paper presents the results of a feasibility study for the design of multi-band tunable metamaterials based on the use of micro-split SRR (MSSRR) structures. In this study, we have designed and constructed a conventional split-ring resonator (SRR) unit cell (type A) and two modified SRR unit cells having the same design parameters except that they contain two (type B) or four (type C) additional micro-splits on the outer square ring, along the arm having the main split. Transmission characteristics of the resulting MSSRR cells are obtained both numerically and experimentally and compared to those of the ordinary SRR unit cell. It is observed that the presence of the additional micro-splits leads to the increase of resonance frequency by substantial amounts due to the series capacitance effect. Next, we have designed and constructed 2x2 homogeneous arrays of magnetic resonators which consist of the same type of cells (either A, or B, or C). Such MSSRR blocks are found to provide only a single frequency band of operation around the magnetic resonance frequency of the related unit cell structure. Finally, we have designed and constructed 2x2 and 3x2 inhomogeneous arrays which contain columns of different types of metamaterial unit cells. We have shown that these inhomogeneous arrays provide two or three different frequency bands of operations due to the use of different magnetic resonators together. The number of additional micro-splits in a given MSSRR cell can be interactively controlled by various switching technologies to modify the overall metamaterial topology for the purpose of activating different sets of multiple resonance frequencies. In this context, use of electrostatically actuated RF MEMS switches is discussed, and their implementation is suggested as a future work, to control the states of micro-splits in large MSSRR arrays to realize tunable multi-band metamaterials.

A Transformation Media Based Approach for Efficient Monte Carlo Analysis of Scattering From Rough Surfaces With Objects Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2013-03-01) This paper presents a computational model that utilizes transformation-based metamaterials to enhance the performance of numerical modeling methods for achieving the statistical characterization of two-dimensional electromagnetic scattering from objects on or above one-dimensional rough sea surfaces. Monte Carlo simulation of the rough surface scattering problem by means of differential equation-based finite methods (such as finite element or finite difference methods) usually places a heavy burden on compu...
A robust design optimization of a mixed-flow compressor impeller Çevik, Mert; Uzol, Oğuz; Yavrucuk, İlkay (null; 2009-06-08) This paper presents the results of a design and optimization study for the impeller of a small mixed-flow compressor. The objective of the optimization is to obtain an impeller geometry that could minimize a cost function based on the specific thrust and the thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC) of a small jet engine. The design methodology is based on generating a configurational database for various compressor geometries using ID design codes and a commercial turbomachinery design/analysis software, app...
A parametric modeling study on distributed MEMS transmission lines Unlu, M; Topalli, K; Demir, S; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Koc, S; Akın, Tayfun (2004-10-14) This paper presents a parametric study of a new model for the distributed MEMS transmission line (DMTL) structures. In this new model, the MEMS bridges which are used as the loading elements of the DMTL structures are represented as low-impedance transmission lines, rather than a lumped CLR circuit. The model also includes LC networks at the transition points from the MEMS bridges to the unloaded parts of the DMTL which are simply high-impedance transmission lines. These LC networks are employed to model th...
A novel mobile robot navigation method based on combined feature based scan matching and fastslam algorithm Özgür, Ayhan; Saranlı, Afşar; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) The main focus of the study is the implementation of a practical indoor localization and mapping algorithm for large scale, structured indoor environments. Building an incremental consistent map while also using it for localization is partially unsolved problem and of prime importance for mobile robot navigation. Within this framework, a combined method consisting of feature based scan matching and FastSLAM algorithm using LADAR and odometer sensor is presented. In this method, an improved data association ...
A substructure based parallel linear solution framework for structural systems having multiple loading cases Kurç, Özgür (2005-10-31) This study presents a substructure based parallel linear solution framework for the static analysis of linear structural engineering problems having multiple loading cases. The framework is composed of two separate programs designed to work on PC Clusters having the Windows operating system. The first program is responsible for creating the optimum substructures for the parallel solution and first partitions the structure in such a way that the number of substructures is equal to the number of processors.
