Conformal polyhedral linkages have drawn attention of scientists and engineers since the invention of Buckminster Fuller: a highly overconstrained spatial linkage, the Jitterbug. Many studies aimed to generalize Jitterbug-like linkages have been published, however a complete classification does not yet exist. This study introduces a definition for Jitterbug-like linkages and two major assumptions and then focuses on the properties of homothetic linkages.

Regular Polygonal and Regular Spherical Polyhedral Linkages Comprising Bennett Loops Kiper, Goekhan; Söylemez, Eres (2009-05-08) In this study, assemblies of Bennett loops constructing regular polygonal linkages and regular polyhedral linkages are presented. The regular polyhedral linkages, necessarily, depend on spherical polyhedral shapes. Most of the resulting linkages have single degree of freedom, but there are exceptions such as a cubic linkage.
Fulleroid-Like Linkages Kiper, Goekhan (2008-09-20) The Fulleroid, discovered by K. Wohlhart, is a 48-link overconstrained spatial linkage which expands and contracts within a rhombic dodecahedral boundary. In this paper, some similar types of linkages are synthesized based on some observations on the Fulleroid. First an infinite class of 24-faced polyhedral linkages is described. Next the idea is generalized for polyhedra having rhombic faces. Then analyzing these linkages a basic closed chain is derived as a module and some dipyramidal and stellated polyhe...
Elastic analysis of orthotropic cylinders under different boundary conditions Farukoğlu, Ömer Can; Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim; Department of Engineering Sciences (2016) Analytical solutions are derived to examine the elastic responses of fixed end cylinders made of orthotropic materials. Cylinders are investigated under different boundary conditions which are internal pressure, external pressure, combined pressure and annular rotation respectively. Making use of Maxwell relations, orthotropic cylinders are transformed to isotropic ones. In order to exhibit numerical examples different orthotropic materials are used and compared. It is observed that orthotrophy slightly inf...
Experimental analysis of curved laminated beam Uzhan, Tevfik; Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü; Department of Engineering Sciences (2010) In this thesis, experimental studies are carried out on curved laminated glass beams to form a database for the scientists who may like to test their mathematical models. Beams which are only free to rotate and constrained in radial direction at both ends are tested to make the data available for further calculations. Test setup is prepared to minimize error that could occur due to test setup and data readings. Material testing machine and 4 channel data collecting machine are used to measure the signals at...
FEM APPROXIMATION OF MAXWELL EQUATIONS: THE SOURCE PROBLEM, EIGENPROBLEM, AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES Dağlı, Tugay; Türk, Önder; Department of Scientific Computing (2023-1-25) In this thesis, edge-based finite element method (FEM) approximations of Maxwell's equations describing the relationship between the space variables and sources along the electromagnetic field are considered. In particular, the lowest-order Nédélec basis functions are implemented to construct the FEM model of the Maxwell source problem, Maxwell eigenvalue problem (EVP), and electromagnetic wave propagation problem. A computational model is constructed to conduct all these problems in the same framework of a...
