Details of the design and development study of a complex shear modulus measurement setup for viscoelastic materials have been presented in this paper. The new setup is specifically designed for measuring the complex shear modulus of pressure sensitive adhesives. The setup consists of a rigid block that is connected to a rigid fixture through two identical shear specimens of the viscoelastic material to be tested. The rigid block and the shear specimens resemble a single degree of freedom system. Once the frequency response function of the rigid block is measured, the frequency dependent material properties of the viscoelastic material can be calculated in a frequency range of 20 to 200 Hz. The setup also has a forced liquid convection heating/cooling system that enables testing in a temperature range of 5° F to 200° F. Test results for a sample viscoelastic material have also been presented in this paper. Basic principals of this testing method can be found in various sources, yet very few of them provide detailed information for practical implementation. Also, unlike the widely-known vibrating beam technique, no detailed standards exist on the subject. The main objective of this paper is to be an aid for future implementations of the testing approach through summarizing this recent effort for the design, analysis and construction of a sample test setup.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATIC DESIGN AND ANALYSIS TOOL FOR AXIAL FLOW COMPRESSORS Kundes, Necmettin Anil; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Baran, Özgür Uğraş (2019-01-01) This paper presents a new design and analysis tool that is developed to be employed during the design process of axial flow compressors. The tool chain implemented by this design tool consists of five parts: a mean-line design tool, followed by a blade geometry parametrization tool. Then 3D blade geometry is created, next a high quality structured mesh is generated and completed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution. All components employed in the new tool are either new developments, or achieved b...
Design of a Test Setup for Measuring Dynamic Stiffness of Vibration Isolators Uz, Canan; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2014-01-01) In this paper, design efforts to develop a custom test setup for measuring dynamic stiffness of vibration isolators are presented. The setup is designed to conduct dynamic stiffness measurements for various static preload values and over a certain (target) frequency range. Direct Method has been selected among the methods defined by standards found in the literature. In order to investigate the effect of basic design parameters of the test setup on its overall performance, an equivalent eight degree of free...
Design and analysis of filament wound composite tubes Balya, Bora; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) This thesis is for the investigation of the design and analysis processes of filament wound composite tubes under combined loading. The problem is studied by using a computational tool based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). Filament wound tubes are modeled as multi layered orthotropic tubes. Several analyses are performed on layered orthotropic tubes by using FEM. Results of the FEM are examined in order to investigate characteristics of filament wound tubes under different combined loading conditions. W...
Design and implementation of high fill factor structures on low-cost uncooled infrared sensors Ertürk, Ozan; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) This thesis presents the design and implementation steps of high fill factor structures for existing SOI diode low-cost microbolometer FPAs. Advancements in uncooled infrared detectors enable high performance military grade uncooled microbolometers as well as ultra-low-cost infrared imagers for civilian applications. The trend in uncooled microbolometers to reduce the pixel pitch has become increasingly significant to lower the cost of detector and system integration due to optics, and increase spatial reso...
Comparison of Two Alternative Silicon-On-Glass Microfabrication Processes for MEMS Inertial Sensors Torunbalci, M. M.; Tatar, E.; Alper, S. E.; Akın, Tayfun (2011-09-07) This paper presents experimental comparison of a modified silicon-on-glass (M-SOG) process to a previously-reported classical SOG (C-SOG) process based on the use of SOI wafers, yielding a stress free < 111 > silicon structural layer with desired structure thickness. The basic difference between these processes is the sequence of the step at which the silicon microstructures are defined by DRIE, making M-SOG more robust against critical dimension (CD) variations. Overall, M-SOG provides a simple, high yield...
