Fulleroid-Like Linkages

2008-09-20
Kiper, Goekhan
The Fulleroid, discovered by K. Wohlhart, is a 48-link overconstrained spatial linkage which expands and contracts within a rhombic dodecahedral boundary. In this paper, some similar types of linkages are synthesized based on some observations on the Fulleroid. First an infinite class of 24-faced polyhedral linkages is described. Next the idea is generalized for polyhedra having rhombic faces. Then analyzing these linkages a basic closed chain is derived as a module and some dipyramidal and stellated polyhedral linkages are synthesized using this module.

Regular Polygonal and Regular Spherical Polyhedral Linkages Comprising Bennett Loops
Kiper, Goekhan; Söylemez, Eres (2009-05-08)
In this study, assemblies of Bennett loops constructing regular polygonal linkages and regular polyhedral linkages are presented. The regular polyhedral linkages, necessarily, depend on spherical polyhedral shapes. Most of the resulting linkages have single degree of freedom, but there are exceptions such as a cubic linkage.
FEM APPROXIMATION OF MAXWELL EQUATIONS: THE SOURCE PROBLEM, EIGENPROBLEM, AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
Dağlı, Tugay; Türk, Önder; Department of Scientific Computing (2023-1-25)
In this thesis, edge-based finite element method (FEM) approximations of Maxwell's equations describing the relationship between the space variables and sources along the electromagnetic field are considered. In particular, the lowest-order Nédélec basis functions are implemented to construct the FEM model of the Maxwell source problem, Maxwell eigenvalue problem (EVP), and electromagnetic wave propagation problem. A computational model is constructed to conduct all these problems in the same framework of a...
Flexible multibody analysis using absolute nodal coordinate formulation
Çiftçi, Muhammed Ali; Darendeliler, Haluk; İder, S. Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
The motion of the planar flexible multibody system with large deformation is analyzed by using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). For this purpose, flexible multibody systems consisting of beams are considered. In the conventional planar ANCF beam elements, there are two nodes located at the ends. Each element has eight degrees of freedom which consist of four global coordinates and four global slopes. In this study, a planar beam element is developed with quadratic shape functions and new no...
Constraining four generation Standard Model with b->sy and b->sg
Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Pak, NK (1996-12-05)
Using the experimental result on b --> s gamma and theoretical result on b --> sg, a four generation Standard Model (SM) is analysed to constrain the rephasing-invariant combinations of the CKM matrix and masses of the fourth generation quarks.
Axial vector transition form factors of N -> Delta in QCD
Küçükarslan, Ayşe; Özdem, Ulaş; Özpineci, Altuğ (Elsevier BV, 2016-12)
The isovector axial vector form factors of N -> Delta transition are calculated by employing Light-cone QCD sum rules. The analytical results are analyzedby both the conventional method, and also by a Monte Carlo based approach which allows one to scan all of the parameter space. The predictions are also compared with the results in the literature, where available. Although the MonteCarlo analysis predicts large uncertainties in the predicted results, the predictions obtained by the conventional analysis ar...
