We report experimental results from a comparative study on collapsed region and conventional region operation of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) fabricated with a wafer bonding technique. Using ultrasonic pulse-echo and pitch-catch measurements, we characterized single elements of 1-D CMUT arrays operating in oil. The experimental results from this study agreed with the simulation results: a CMUT operating in the collapsed region produced a higher maximum output pressure than a CMUT operated in the conventional region at 90% of its collapse voltage (3 kPa/V vs. 16.1 kPa/V at 2.3 MHz). While the pulse-echo fractional bandwidth (126%) was higher in the collapsed region operation than in the conventional operation (117%), the pulse-echo amplitude in collapsed region operation was 11 dB higher than in conventional region operation. Furthermore, within the range of tested bias voltages, the output pressure monotonously increased with increased bias during collapsed region operation. It was also found that in the conventional mode, short AC pulses (larger than the collapse voltage) could be applied without collapsing the membranes. Finally, while no significant difference was observed in reflectivity of the CMUT face between the two regions of operation, hysteretic behavior of the devices was identified in the collapsed region operation.

Optimum design of composite structures with curved fiber courses
Parnas, L; Oral, Süha; Ceyhan, U (2003-05-01)
In this study, a new methodology for the optimum design of laminated composites with curved fiber courses is presented. The objective of the optimization problem is to minimize the weight of the composite laminate under stress constraints. The Tsai-Hill criterion is employed on the first ply failure basis. Layer thicknesses and fiber angles are represented by bicubic Bezier surfaces and cubic Bezier curves, respectively. Design variables are coordinates of control points of the corresponding Bezier splines....
Evaluation of the Effect of Spar Cap Fiber Angle of Bending-Torsion Coupled Blades on the Aero-Structural Performance of Wind Turbines
Şener, Özgün; Gozc, M. Ozan; Kayran, Altan (ASME International, 2018-08-01)
This paper presents a comprehensive study of the evaluation of the effect of spar cap fiber orientation angle of composite blades with induced bending–torsion coupling (IBTC) on the aero-structural performance wind turbines. Aero-structural performance of wind turbines with IBTC blades is evaluated with the fatigue load mitigation in the whole wind turbine system, tower clearances, peak stresses in the blades, and power generation of wind turbines. For this purpose, a full E-glass/epoxy reference blade has ...
Adsorption of RuSex (x=1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene: First principle calculations
AKTÜRK, OLCAY ÜZENGİ; Tomak, Mehmet (2015-08-30)
We have investigated the adsorption of RuSex (x =1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene. The change of the adsorption energy with the number of Se atoms and magnetization values are investigated. Electronic properties of adsorption of RuSex (x =1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene are investigated. The highest adsorption energy belongs to RuSe adsorbate. The biggest magnetization value belongs to RuSe2 adsorbate. This adsorbate makes the substrate half metallic. This property is important in electronic device appli...
TRANSPARENT GRAPHENE ANODES FOR ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODES
Sharif, Parisa; Oral, Ahmet; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2021-7-14)
This thesis presents a novel method for fabrication of OLEDs on a specific flexible PET substrate with graphene anodes, demonstrating low sheet resistance, high work function, and an extremely high luminance. Firstly, a single-layer graphene growth process with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is optimized. Flexible anodes are then fabricated by stacking 7-layers of graphene films and doped with nitric acid to reduce the sheet resistance. Modified few layer graphene anodes by 29 Ω/□ sheet resistance a...
Preparation and characterization of cost effective spray pyrolyzed absorber layer for thin film solar cells
Sankir, Nurdan D.; Aydin, Erkan; Unver, Hulya; Uluer, Ezgi; Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-01)
In this study, highly (1 1 2) oriented crystalline copper indium disulfide (CuInS2) thin films with high mobility have been deposited via ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Structural and electrical properties of CuInS2 thin films were examined to utilize them in solar cell applications. Various amounts of precursor solution ranging from 0.25 to 2.02 ml/cm(2) were used to form CuInS2 thin films onto the soda lime glass substrates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that all sprayed films were pin...
