Stability and switching performance of light force driven opto-mechanical phase shifters are examined and a formula determining the stability condition has been proposed for various structures. The analysis showed that cantilever beams are inadequate to generate 180 phase difference.

Stability Formulation for Integrated Opto-mechanic Phase Shifters
Ozer, Yigit; Kocaman, Serdar (2018-01-31)
Stability of opto-mechanical phase shifters consisting of waveguides and non-signal carrying control beams is investigated thoroughly and a formula determining the physical limitations has been proposed. Suggested formulation is not only beneficial to determine physical strength of the system but also advantageous to guess the response of the output to the fabrication errors. In the iterative analysis of cantilever and double-clamped beam geometrical configurations, the stability condition is revealed under...
Thermal fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials using an equivalent domain integral approach
Dağ, Serkan (2006-12-01)
A new computational method based on the equivalent domain integral (EDI) is developed for mode I fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to thermal stresses. By using the constitutive relations of plane orthotropic thermoelasticity, generalized definition of the J-integral is converted to an equivalent domain integral to calculate the thermal stress intensity factor. In the formulation of the EDI approach, all the required thermomechanical properties are assumed to ha...
Structural Analysis of Synchronization in Networks of Linear Oscillators
Tuna, Sezai Emre (2022-07-01)
In undirected networks of identical linear oscillators coupled through dissipative and restorative connectors (e.g., pendulums undergoing small vibrations connected via dampers and springs), the relation between asymptotic synchronization and coupling structure is studied. Conditions on the interconnection under which synchronization can be achieved for some selection of coupling strengths are established. How to strengthen those conditions so that synchronization is guaranteed for all admissible parameter ...
Design and experimental analysis of mechanical force generators for performance improvement of machines
Ekinci, Mehmet Burak; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Recently, a novel overconstrained mechanism with favorable dynamic properties, namely the MFG (Mechanical Force Generator), has been proposed. This mechanism can provide a desired mechanical force, or power variation depending on the position of its input links. This power profile can be adjusted in order to improve the performance of a machine and its actuators that are connected to the MFG. In previous works, determination of an optimum power profile for the MFG and determination of the MFG design paramet...
Quantum Monte Carlo methods for fermionic systems : beyond the fixed-node approximation
Dugan, Nazım; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2010)
Developments are made on the quantum Monte Carlo methods towards increasing the precision and the stability of the non fixed-node projector calculations of fermions. In the first part of the developments, the wavefunction correction scheme, which was developed to increase the precision of the di usion Monte Carlo (DMC) method, is applied to non fixed-node DMC to increase the precision of such fermion calculations which do not have nodal error. The benchmark calculations indicate a significant decrease of st...
