Microbeams are common structures encountered in micro-and nano-electromechanical systems. Their mechanical response cannot be modelled by local theories of continuum mechanics due to size effect, which becomesmore pronounced as the structural length scale approaches themicrostructural length scale. The size effect can be circumvented by higher-order continuum theories. In this study, Euler-Bernoulli microbeams are analysed with modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) and modified couple stress theory (MCST). The weak forms for the numerical implementation are obtained by using variational methods. Then, the set of algebraic equations for the finite element method are derived. As a novel aspect, the performance of MSGT and MCST is compared and the length scale parameters of these theories are identified for gold microbeams from the existing experimental results in the literature. With the help of the identified parameters, the cut-off point for the applicability of the classical beam theories for gold microbeams is assessed. The study suggests use of higher-order theories for the state-of-the-art gold microbeam structures having thickness t < 30 mu m.

Large deformation analysis of shells under impulsive loading Evcim, Mehmet; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this thesis large deformation behavior of shell structures under high intensity transient loading conditions is investigated by means of finite element method. For this purpose an explicit finite element program is developed with interactive user interface. The developed program deals with geometric and material nonlinearities which stem from large deformation elastic - plastic behavior. Results of the developed code are compared with the experimental data taken from the literature and simulation results...
An experimental study on single crystal diamond turning of optical quality silicon Çalı, Serdal; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) Silicon is commonly used in infrared (IR) imaging systems. The surface quality is an important issue in optics manufacturing since surface roughness affects optical performance of imaging systems. Surface quality of an optical component is determined by number of factor, including cutting parameters; cutting speed, depth of cut and feed in radial direction. In this thesis, an experimental study has been performed to investigate the relation between cutting parameters and average roughness of the surface of ...
A two dimensional euler flow solver on adaptive cartesian grids Siyahhan, Bercan; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In the thesis work, a code to solve the two dimensional compressible Euler equations for external flows around arbitrary geometries have been developed. A Cartesianmesh generator is incorporated to the solver. Hence the pre-processing can be performed together with the solution within a single code. The code is written in the C++ programming language and its object oriented capabilities have been exploited to save memory in the data structure developed. The Cartesian mesh is formed by dividing squares succe...
Development of a shell finite element for large deformation analysis of laminated composites Yıldız, Tuba; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) The objective of the present work is to investigate the behavior of laminated fiber -reinforced polymer matrix composite shell structures under bending load with the help of a modified finite element computer code which was previously developed for the analysis of pseudo-layered single material shells. The laminates are assumed to be orthotropic and the formulation is adapted to first order shear deformation theory. The aim is to determine the large deformation characteristics numerically, and to predict th...
An accelerated aerodynamic optimization approach for a small turbojet engine centrifugal compressor Ceylanoğlu, Arda; Ulaş, Abdullah; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) Centrifugal compressors are widely used in propulsion technology. As an important part of turbo-engines, centrifugal compressors increase the pressure of the air and let the pressurized air flow into the combustion chamber. The developed pressure and the flow characteristics mainly affect the thrust generated by the engine. The design of centrifugal compressors is a challenging and time consuming process including several tests, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses and optimization studies. In this s...
