This paper presents an experimental and numerical characterization of a piezoelectric d(36) shear-based torsion actuator made of xPb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-(1-x)PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) single crystals embedded between Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers. The generated rate of twist value of the piezoelectric d(36)-mode PMN-PT single crystal composite torsion actuator was obtained using a laser vibrometer from the maximum detected transverse deflection measurement. The quasi-static torsion actuation experiments were conducted on the piezoelectric d(36) torsion actuator by applying different AC voltages at 1 Hz. The experimental benchmark was further modelled by Finite Element (FE) code ABAQUS (R) using three dimensional (3D) piezoelectric finite elements. The experimental results and Finite Element computations showed good agreement. Findings reveal that more rate of twist is produced by PMN-PT single crystals in comparison to piezoceramic alternatives. This piezoelectric PMN-PT d(36)-mode composite torsion actuator can be effectively used in torsional deformation control.

This paper presents the computer-aided simulation of an injection moulding process for thermoplastic materials. The reasons for using computer simulation for the injection moulding process are discussed together with description of the mould-filling and cooling phenomena. The paper also traces the difficulties in transferring the geometry of the part database from a computer-aided design environment to a computer-aided analysis environment by proposing several solutions for plastic products.

Multi-Band Metamaterial Absorber: Design, Experiment and Physical Interpretation
Dincer, F.; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; ÜNAL, EKİN ANIL; Akgol, O.; Sabah, C. (2014-03-01)
This paper presents the design, fabrication, characterization and experimental verification of a perfect Multi-Band Metamaterial (MTM) absorber (MA) based on a simple configuration of a rectangular resonator and strips operating in microwave frequency regime. The proposed multi-band MA provides perfect absorption with TE-incident angle independency. Maximum absorption rate is achieved as 99.43% at 5.19 GHz for simulation and 98.67% at 5.19 GHz for experiment, respectively. The measurement results of the fab...
Radiation pressure excitation of a low temperature atomic force/magnetic force microscope for imaging in 4-300 K temperature range
Celik, Umit L; KARCI, Ozgur; UYSALLI, Yigit; Özer, Hakkı Tunçay; Oral, Ahmet (2017-01-01)
We describe a novel radiation pressure based cantilever excitation method for imaging in dynamic mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the first time. Piezo-excitation is the most common method for cantilever excitation, however it may cause spurious resonance peaks. Therefore, the direct excitation of the cantilever plays a crucial role in AFM imaging. A fiber optic interferometer with a 1310 nm laser was used both for the excitation of the cantilever at the resonance and the deflection measurement of the...
Numerical Modelling and Experimental Analysis of Vibratory and Acoustics Behaviours of a Special Design Squirrel-Cage Three-Phase Asynchronous Machine
Ionescu, R. M.; Negoita, A.; N'Diaye, A.; Torregrossa, D.; Djerdir, A.; Miraoui, A.; Scutaru, Gh. (2011-09-10)
The paper presents a comparison between the obtained results from testing a special design 5 kW squirrel-cage three-phase asynchronous machine and the numerical model of the same machine, simulated under the FLUX2D Finite Element Software. The aim is to validate the numerical model in the loaded and unloaded cases. The resulting model will be used for further research into the vibratory behaviour and noise of the motor. In this paper, an experimental approach is used to show the influence of load on motor v...
Inelastic axial-flexure-shear coupling in a mixed formulation beam finite element
Sarıtaş, Afşin (2009-10-01)
In this paper a beam element that accounts for inelastic axial-flexure-shear coupling is presented. The mathematical model is derived from a three-field variational form. The finite element approximation for the beam uses shape functions for section forces that satisfy equilibrium and discontinuous section deformations along the beam. No approximation for the beam displacement field is necessary in the formulation. The coupling of the section forces is achieved through the numerical integration of an inelas...
