Hyperelastic materials are widely used over the last decades. Studies on molecular structure and stress-stretch response of such materials goes back to 1940. Since then, many researchers have developed various material models to represent the response of hyperelastic materials undergoing different loading scenarios. Generally phenomenological and micromechanically based material models are the two main categories considered during the modeling steps. Among the hyperelastic material models micromechanically based network models are known to have high performance and reliability over the purely phenomenological models dealing with the analysis of unfilled rubber. Number of available experimental data sets under different loading cases, maximum stretch level reached by each loading case, and additives with percentage of fillers, on the other hand, play an important role choosing the appropriate model for further analysis of technical rubber. Therefore, a well defined hyperelastic material model should have physically interpretable and minimum number of parameters. During the last decades number of hyperelastic material models has been increased, therefore, comparison among the material models and choosing an appropriate one turns to be crucial factor for researchers of the field. One may access to large number of review papers comparing strength and weakness of constitutive material models, implying the importance of making decision between different types of constitutive models suiting the specific analysis. In this study, fitting performance of 40 hyperelastic material models has been presented. In order to obtain parameters for each constitutive model a genetic algorithm is developed. Further improvement of the results are achieved using FMINCON utility of MATLAB. Four set of distinct and well known data for uniaxial tensile, equi-biaxial, pure shear, and biaxial tension loads has been considered during parameter optimization

Optimization of mechanical and microstructural properties of weld joints between aluminium - magnesium and aluminium - magnesium - silicon alloys with different thicknesses Ekşi, Murat; Ögel, Bilgehan; Batıgün, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) For the last decades usage of aluminium alloys have been increasing tremendously. They have been used in aerospace industry widely and now aluminium alloys are becoming more and more popular in automotive and defense industries. Consequently; successful welding of aluminium alloys gains importance. In this study a research is carried out on eldability of plates having different thicknesses of composition 5754 aluminium and 6063 aluminium in T-fillet geometry using Gas-metal Arc Welding technique. It was aim...
Recent advances in the synthesis and applications of inorganic polymer Pitcher, Michael W.; Arslan, Yasin; Edinc, Pelin; Hartal, Muejgan; Masjedi, Mehdi; Metin, Oender; Sen, Fatih; Tuerkarslan, Oezlem; Yigitsoy, Basak (Informa UK Limited, 2007-12-01) Polymers are ubiquitous in modern society. They are used in a variety of appli-cations, ranging from sophisticated - such as electronics - to relatively simple ones like packaging. Inorganic polymers often have certain advantages over their organic counterparts-such as increased thermal stability and unique material properties - and have been an active area of research for many years. The potential technological applications that are imagined for some of these polymers, however, have mostly failed to be rea...
A NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF A TLP SYSTEM Koç, Melodi Neşe; Oğuz, Elif; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-5-06) Renewable energy is becoming a popular research topic over the last decades. The floating wind turbine system consists of a typical wind turbine with a platform that the tower of the turbine is implemented. One of the popular floating systems is known as Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs). In this study, TLP is chosen due to the limiting nature of the system in terms of heave, roll and pitch motions. Due to the complexity of the system, coupling analysis of TLPs become important. In this thesis, a benchmark study...
The reaction engineering approach to modelling drying of thin layer of pulped Kiwifruit flesh under conditions of small Biot numbers Chen, XD; Pirini, W; Ozilgen, M (2001-07-01) Drying is a subject of extensive research in the last three decades due to its importance in manufacturing many types of products. It has been modelled by adopting the drying characteristic curve method, the comprehensive transport phenomena approach or the entirely empirical correlation. Following the approach by Chen and Xie, this paper describes a mechanistic model of drying of thin layer material (Biot numbers for both heat and mass transfer are small) using a reaction engineering approach, This method ...
A phase-field approach to viscoelastic fracture in rubbery polymers Denli, Funda A.; Gültekin, Osman; Dal, Hüsnü (null; 2019-08-23) Rubbery polymers are widely used in, e.g., the automotive, the aeronautical andspace industry. Rubbery polymers consist of network of long polymer chains responsible forthe elastic response and a secondary free chains superimposed to the elastic network in termsof entanglements leading to the rate-dependent viscoelastic response. The fracture toughnessof rubbery polymers is a rate-dependent phenomenon which manifests itself in the sense ofmonotonically increasing fracture toughness with rising crack velocit...
