The extended tube-model was presented by KALISKE & HEINRICH (RCT 72, 602-632) in 1999 as a novel approach for isothermal hyperelasticity of rubberlike materials. This contribution is dedicated to its further development to finite non-linear thermo-viscoelasticity. A non-linear evolution law and a thermo-mechanical coupled free energy formulation are the kernel of the phenomenological approach where the elastic material response is inspired by statistical-mechanical theory. The representation of viscoelasticity is based on a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. The Helmholtz free energy of the material is formulated in terms of isothermal free energy functions multiplicatively coupled with non-linear temperature evolution functions. The non-linear evolution law for the viscous material branch is solved by applying a predictor-corrector algorithm with an exponential mapping scheme. In today's literature, several sophisticated thermo-mechanical material models are available. However, they are built upon a considerable number of material parameters governing the mechanical and thermal material response which need to be identified for practical application. Therefore, particular emphasis is given to an appropriate parameter identification technique for the thermal field. For the latter, a uniaxial extension test is carried out where the recorded data of the temperature field of the rubber specimen under cyclic loading is used for parameter identification.

Can, Hilal Aybike; Öztürk, Tayfur; AKYILDIZ, HASAN (2022-11-01)
ZnO-In2O3-SnO2 (ZITO) thin film library was produced via the combinatorial approach. The films were deposited using a magnetron sputtering system. Varying ZITO compositions were obtained in a single deposition run by employing a custom-made triangular type of substrate carrier magazine. The effect of various postgrowth annealing atmospheres on the electrical and optical properties of the films were ex-amined. Air, Ar, forming gas (Ar+4 vol% H-2), and successive annealing under forming gas + argon atmo-spher...

Behnke, Ronny; Dal, Hüsnü; Kaliske, Michael (2011-09-23)
This contribution is devoted to the further development of the original purely hyperelastic extended tube model, presented by Kaliske & Heinrich (1999), to finite nonlinear thermo-viscoelasticity using a nonlinear evolution law and a thermo-mechanical coupled free energy formulation. Particular emphasis is given to an appropriate parameter identification technique for the thermal field. For the latter, a uniaxial extension test is carried out where the recorded data of the temperature field of the rubber sp...
An approximate model for performance measurement in base-stock controlled assembly systems
Rodoplu, Umut; Avşar, Zeynep Müge; Department of Industrial Engineering (2004)
The aim of this thesis is to develop a tractable method for approximating the steady-state behavior of continuous-review base-stock controlled assembly systems with Poisson demand arrivals and manufacturing and assembly facilities modeled as Jackson networks. One class of systems studied is to produce a single type of finished product assembling a number of components and another class is to produce two types of finished products allowing component commonality. The performance measures evaluated are the exp...
Development of aero-thermodynamic cycle design code for turboshaft engines and investigation of fouling effects on performance
Sadıkoğlu, Umut; Baran, Özgür Uğraş; Baş, Onur; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-04)
In this thesis, a turboshaft engine performance analysis code is developed on MATLAB. Furthermore, compressor map generation from limited data and deterioration effects on the engine performance are investigated. It is considered that the first step of designing a gas turbine is the selection of the aero-thermodynamic cycle. For this purpose, design point analysis with the parametric design capability is conducted and engine limits are determined. Subsequently, off-design analyses are initiated. During the ...
A numerical study on special truss moment frames
Ölmez, Harun Deniz; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
A three-phase numerical study was undertaken to address some design issues related with special truss moment frames (STMFs). In the first phase, the design approaches for distribution of shear strength among stories were examined. Multistory STMFs sized based on elastic and inelastic behavior were evaluated from a performance point of view. A set of time history analysis was conducted to investigate performance parameters such as the interstory drift ratio and the plastic rotation at chord member ends. The ...
