Thermoelectric effects in menososcopic physics
Çipiloğlu, M. Ali; Turgut, Sadi; Department of Physics (2004)
The electrical and thermal conductance and the Seebeck coefficient are calculated for one-dimensional systems, and their behavior as a function of temperature and chemical potential is investigated. It is shown that the conductances are proportional to an average of the transmission probability around the Fermi level with the average taken for the thermal conductance being over a wider range. This has the effect of creating less well-defined plateaus for thermal-conductance quantization experiments. For wea...
Thermodynamical and mechanical properties of Pd-Ag alloys
Kart, HH; Tomak, Mehmet; Uludogan, M; Cagin, T (2005-01-01)
The mechanical and thermodynamical properties of Pd, Ag pure metals and especially PdxAg1-x alloys are studied by using the molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of temperature and concentration on the physical properties of PdxAg1-x are analyzed. Sutton-Chen (SC) and quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) many-body potentials are used as interatomic interactions which enable one to investigate the thermodynamic, static, and dynamical properties of transition metals. The calculated results such as cohesive energy,...
Finite element modelling and analysis of recoil springs in automatic weapons
Zaloğlu, Hakan; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
As a tool for weapon designers, a finite element based analysis methodology is developed for estimating the mechanical behavior of the recoil spring during a firing cycle. All models are developed in LS-DYNA to be used in analysis to estimate the nonlinear force deflection characteristics and dynamic stress in the spring during a representative firing cycle. An experimental study is also performed to validate the finite element based analysis methodology. Modeling, analysis approach and modeling parameters ...
Analysis and control of gun barrel vibrations
Büyükcivelek, Fırat; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Dursun, Tolga; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
Modern battle tanks are equipped with gun stabilization systems using gyro and encoder data to stabilize the gun barrel, although these systems are very sensitive and reliable, these systems assume the gun barrel as a rigid beam, and do not use information from.
Nitro Derivatives of Parabanic Acid as Potential Explosives: A Theoretical Study
Türker, Burhan Lemi; Varis, Serhat (2014-01-01)
This work deals with certain parabanic acid (PA) derivatives because they possess great calculated density (>1.8 gcm(-3)) and high content of nitrogen (26%). Computed ballistic properties of eight different parabanic acid derivatives are presented. The structures were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level. The calculated data for PA are found to be compatible with the experimental X-ray data. The detonation performance analyses were done using empirical Kamlet-Jacobs equations. Additionally, detonation p...
