A finite element (FE) model, that explicitly discretizes a single 3D spherulite is proposed. A spherulite is a two-phase microstructure consisting of amorphous and crystalline regions. Crystalline regions, that grow from a central nucleus in the form of lamellae, have particular lattice orientations. In the FE analyses, 8-chain and crystal viscoplasticity constitutive models are employed. Stress-strain distributions and slip system activities in the spherulite microstructure are studied and found to be in good agreement with the literature. Influences of the crystallinity ratio on the yield stress and the initial Young's modulus are also investigated.

Modeling of a Three-Dimensional Spherulite Microstructure in Semicrystalline Polymers Oktay, Hasan Emre; Gürses, Ercan (Springer, 2016-01-01) A finite element (FE) model, that explicitly discretizes a single 3D spherulite is proposed.

Stability criteria for linear Hamiltonian systems under impulsive perturbations Kayar, Z.; Zafer, Ağacık (2014-03-01) Stability criteria are given for planar linear periodic Hamiltonian systems with impulse effect by making use of a Lyapunov type inequality. A disconjugacy criterion is also established. The results improve the related ones in the literature for such systems.
Stability criteria for linear periodic impulsive Hamiltonian systems Guseinov, G. Sh.; Zafer, Ağacık (2007-11-15) In this paper we obtain stability criteria for linear periodic impulsive Hamiltonian systems. A Lyapunov type inequality is established. Our results improve also the ones previously obtained for systems without impulse effect. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Modeling of the nonlinear behavior of steel framed structures with semi rigid connections Sarıtaş, Afşin; Özel, Halil Fırat (null; 2015-07-21) A mixed formulation frame finite element with internal semi-rigid connections is presented for the nonlinear analysis of steel structures. Proposed element provides accurate responses for spread of inelasticity along element length by monitoring the nonlinear responses of several crosssections, where spread of inelasticity over each section is captured with fiber discretization. Each material point on the section considers inelastic coupling between normal stress and shear stress. The formulation of the ele...
EQUIVALENT ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF LATTICES USING NON-UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED POINT CLOUD Yormaz, Engin Ege; Tuncay, Kağan; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-11-22) A method based on the equivalency of strain energy density is proposed for finding the elastic parameters of non-uniformly distributed lattice models in 2D with a Poisson’s ratio of 1/3. Lattice members are assumed to carry only normal force. Hence, the elasticity modulus times the area is the only defining parameter for each lattice member. The method is implemented in MATLAB and it is tested with regularly structured lattices whose solutions can be calculated exactly. A “User-Friendly Lattice Model P...
