In this essay, our main aim is to identify the similarities between the techniques used by the 19th and 20th century painters, and scientists dealing with the Finite-Difference/Finite-Element methods. First, we discuss the concept of representation in art, together with its mathematical formulation. We next formulize the perception, and conclude with a discussion about the analogies between artistic movements and some concepts of the Finite-Element Method.

Technological characteristics of abrick masonry structure and their relationship with the structural behaviour /
Aktaş, Yasemin Didem; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Archaeometry (2006)
The aim of this study is to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials in relation with the structural behaviour of a historic structure. Within this framework, the brick masonry superstructure of Tahir ile Zuhre Mescidi, a XIIIth century Seljuk monument in Konya was selected as case study. The study started with the determination of the basic physical (bulk density, effective porosity, water absorption capacity), mechanical (modulus of elasticity, uniaxial compressive stre...
Arthur Danto’s ontology of aesthetics upon pop art
İsmet, Burçak; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2014)
The main objective of this dissertation is to examine Arthur Danto’s method of indiscernibles in his theory of aesthetics. In order to explicate this conception, Danto’s method of indiscernibles is elucidated by means of Andy Warhol’s works of Pop Art. Through this study Danto’s critical approach against traditional realism in philosophy of art is examined and Danto’s renewed solution for the reality problem of artworks is exposed with the acquaintance of Warhol’s art. After the examination of Danto’s use o...
The Historiographic Problem in the Renaissance
Vatan Demirkan, Pelin; Boztemur, Recep; Department of History (2023-3-22)
This thesis aims to analyze some characteristics of history writing in the Renaissance era as an overlooked concept of the subject. In the literature, the period is perceived either in too romantic or too critical perspectives. The former side views the era as the emergent movement of modern European culture, without analyzing its Medieval characteristics. On the other hand, the latter side tends to underestimate the significant features of this era, mostly because of romantic perspective’s effect. Neverthe...
The Social and symbolic role of early pottery in the Near East
Yıldırım, Burcu.; Atakuman, Çiğdem; Department of Settlement Archaeology (2019)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the social and symbolic role of the earliest pottery in the Near East which flourished during the Neolithic Period. This dissertation provides a comparative analysis of the earliest ceramics and the relationship of pottery form and technology to the plaster and figurine technologies. As early as the 9th millennium BC, the skilled use of ceramic technology and control of fire was evident in the production of lime plaster, as well as anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figu...
Simulation of orthogonal metal cutting by finite element analysis
Bil, Halil; Kılıç, Engin; Tekkaya, Erman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
The aim of this thesis is to compare various simulation models of orthogonal cutting process with each other as well as with various experiments. The effects of several process parameters, such as friction and separation criterion, on the results are analyzed. As simulation tool, commercial implicit finite element codes MSC.Marc, Deform2D and the explicit code Thirdwave AdvantEdge are used. Separation of chip from the workpiece is achieved either only with continuous remeshing or by erasing elements accordi...
