In order to use either a linear or nonlinear model of viscoelasticity to calculate the stress response of a material to various deformations, it is usually necessary to have available an explicit equation for the linear relaxation modulus G(t). The most popular procedure is to use the data from a small-amplitude oscillatory shear experiment to determine the parameters of a generalized Maxwell model. However, this is an ill-posed problem and is not at all a straightforward curve-fitting operation. We compare three procedures for determining a set of relaxation times and discrete moduli that can then be used as empirical fitting parameters in fluid mechanics computations. These are linear regression, with and without regularization, and nonlinear regression. Nonlinear regression is found to give a good fit of the data with a minimum number of parameters.

A non-iterative pressure based algorithm for the computation of reacting radiating flows Uygur, Ahmet Bilge; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) A non-iterative pressure based algorithm which consists of splitting the solution of momentum energy and species equations into a sequence of predictor-corrector stages was developed for the simulation of transient reacting radiating flows. A semi-discrete approach called the Method of Lines (MOL) which enables implicit time-integration at all splitting stages was used for the solution of conservation equations. The solution of elliptic pressure equation for the determination of pressure field was performed...
Nanocomposites based on blends of polyethylene Işık, Fatma; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) In this study the effects of compatibilizer type, organoclay type, and the addition order of components on the morphological, thermal, mechanical and flow properties of ternary nanocomposites based on low density polyethylene, LDPE were investigated. As compatibilizer, ethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate, ethylene/glycidyl methacrylate, and ethylene/butyl acrylate/maleic anhydride; as organoclay Cloisite? 15A, Cloisite? 25A and Cloisite? 30B were used. All samples were prepared by a co-rotating t...
Immobilization of tyrosinase in polysiloxane/polypyrrole copolymer matrices Arslan, Ahu; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2006) Immobilization of tyrosinase in conducting copolymer matrices of pyrrole functionalized polydimethylsiloxane/polypyrrole (PDMS/PPy) were achieved by electrochemical polymerization. The polysiloxane/polypyrrole/tyrosinase electrode was constructed by the entrapment of enzyme in conducting matrices during electrochemical copolymerization. Maximum reaction rate (Vmax) and Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) were investigated for immobilized enzyme. Enzyme electrodes were prepared in two different electrolyte/solven...
Pyrolysis mass spectrometric analysis of copolymer of polyacrylonitrile and polythiophene Oğuz, Gülcan; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2004) In the first part of this work, the structural and thermal characteristics of polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylonitrile films treated under the electrolysis conditions in the absence of thiophene, polythiophene and the mechanical mixture and a conducting copolymer of polyacrylonitrile/polythiophene have been studied by pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique. The thermal degradation of polyacrylonitrile occurs in three steps; evolution of HCN, monomer, low molecular weight oligomers due to random chain cleavages a...
Preparation and characterization of thermally stable organoclays and their use in polymer based nanocomposites Abdallah, Wissam; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010) The present study was aimed at exploring the purification and modification of montmorillonite rich Turkish bentonites by organic salts and their subsequent effects on the morphology (X-diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy), melt flow index, mechanical (Tensile, Impact) and especially thermal stability (thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry) properties of polymer/organoclay nanocomposites with and without an elastomeric compatibilizer. The b...
