This thesis presents an automated shrinkage compensation algorithm for 2.5D specimens to be fabricated via Fused Filament Fabrication process. The algorithm operates on a closed curve representing the hole of a 2.5D specimen, and generates a corresponding compensation structure regardless of the hole’s geometric characteristics. Accordingly, this thesis initiates with introducing a viscoelastic model that would reproduce the behavior of the PLA ﬁlament from the time of extrusion onto the build plate until it is cooled down to room temperature. Based on the viscoelastic model and corresponding mathematical equations, a ﬁnal strain associated with a 2.5D structure having a central hole is calculated. Finally, to empirically verify the theory behind this work, three types of tests are designed and conducted. Two of these tests are seek to check the validity of the strain rate already obtained, on specimens without bridge lines. The third test setting, however, brings into play the positive eﬀect that bridge lines have on the shrinkage of the central opening.

A Planar Gyroscope Using a Standard Surface Micromachining Process Alper, Said Emre; Akın, Tayfun (2000-08-30) This paper presents a planar gyroscope based on a standard three-layer polysilicon surface micromachining process. Structural geometry is designed to minimize the effects of limitations coming from the standard surface micromachining. Finite element simulations are carried out, and mismatches of resonant frequencies of the drive and sense mode vibrations are reduced down to 0.5% in order to achieve increased performance. The third polysilicon layer on top of outer gimbal is used for feedback control and for...
An amperometric acetylcholine biosensor based on a conducting polymer Kanik, Fulya Ekiz; Kolb, Marit; TİMUR, SUNA; Bahadir, Muefit; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01) An amperometric acetylcholine biosensor was prepared by the generation of the conducting polymer poly(4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenamine) (poly(SNS-NH2)) on graphite electrodes. For pesticide detection, the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO) were co-immobilized onto the conducting polymer poly(SNS-NH2) films using covalent binding technique. Electrochemical polymerization was carried out using a three-electrode cell configuration via cyclic voltammetry. Characteri...
Single layer microbolometer detector pixel using ZnO material TANRIKULU, MAHMUD YUSUF; Yildizak, Cigdem; Okyay, Ali K.; Akar, Orhan; Sarac, Adem; Akın, Tayfun (2018-04-19) This paper presents the development of a single layer microbolometer pixel fabricated using only ZnO material coated with atomic layer deposition. Due to the stress-free nature and high temperature coefficient of resistance of the ALD coated ZnO material, it can be used both as structural and active layers in microbolometer detectors. The design, simulations, and the fabrication optimization of 35. m single layer ZnO microbolometers are shown in this study. The designed pixel has a thermal conductance of 3....
An approach to measure trace elements in particles collected on fiber filters using EDXRF ÖZTÜRK, FATMA; Zararsız, Abdullah; Kırmaz, Rıdvan; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2011-01-15) A method developed for analyzes of large number of aerosol samples using Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and its performance were discussed in this manuscript. Atmospheric aerosol samples evaluated in this study were collected on cellulose fiber (Whatman-41) filters, employing a Hi-Vol sampler, at a monitoring station located on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. between 1993 and 2001. Approximately 1700 samples were collected in this period. Six-hundred of these samples were analyzed by instru...
A fabrication process based on structural layer formation using Au-Au thermocompression bonding for RF MEMS capacitive switches and their performance Cetintepe, Cagri; Topalli, Ebru Sagiroglu; Demir, Şimşek; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2014-10-01) This paper presents a radio frequency micro-electro-mechanical-systems (RF MEMS) fabrication process based on a stacked structural layer and Au-Au thermocompression bonding, and reports on the performance of a sample RF MEMS switch design implemented with this process. The structural layer consists of 0.1 mu m SiO2/0.2 mu m SixNy/1 mu m Cr-Au layers with a tensile stress less than 50 MPa deposited on a silicon handle wafer. The stacked layer is bonded to a base wafer where the transmission lines and the iso...
