The microstructural changes and mechanical response of an HT-9 sample shock loaded to a peak pressure of 11 GPa have been investigated by TEM, XRD, microhardness and EBSD techniques. Dislocation densities obtained by both direct measurements (via TEM) and indirect calculations (by XRD and hardness) indicate that shock loading results in similar to 2-3 fold increase in dislocation density. TEM analyses show that the shape, and density of the dislocations change after shock loading. In addition, shock loading causes local plastic deformation of the continuous parallel lath structure in some regions, together with an overall decrease in the aspect ratio of laths due to local plastic deformation and lath fragmentation. As a result of XRD analyses, the fraction of edge dislocations is determined to increase by similar to 24% after shock loading. Furthermore, hardness increases by similar to 40 HV after shock loading due to the increased dislocation density. EBSD analyses show that the fraction of CSL boundaries decreases by similar to 5-10% as a result of shock loading. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Effect of Electrolyte-to-Sulfur Ratio in the Cell on the Li-S Battery Performance
Emerce, Nur Ber; Eroglu, Damla (The Electrochemical Society, 2019-05-02)
The effect of electrolyte-to-sulfur (E/S) ratio on the electrochemical and cell- and systems-level performance of a Li-S battery is investigated through modeling efforts. A 1-D electrochemical model is proposed predicting the cell voltage at 60% discharge depth. In the model, increasing electrolyte amount improves the cell voltage by linearly increasing the cathode exchange current density, which is the single kinetic model parameter. Moreover, cathode specific capacity is either defined as a linear functio...
Effect of water-filling method on the PAPR for OFDM and MIMO systems
Vural, Mehmet; Akta, Tugcan; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2007-06-13)
In this paper, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is investigated. The variations in the nature of the problem along with the utilization of water-filling technique are observed and the corresponding cumulative distribution function for PAPR is determined. In addition to OFDM analysis, another analysis is carried out for the comparison of water-filling technique and an equal power distribution algorithm in case of a multiple input multiple ou...
Effect of electrolyte/sulfur ratio in the cathode on the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries
Emerce, Nur Ber; Külah, Görkem; Eroğlu Pala, Damla; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019)
In this study, the effect of electrolyte to sulfur (E/S) ratio in the cathode, which is an important cell design parameter, on the electrochemical and cell- and system-level performance of a Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery is investigated through modeling efforts. First, a 1-D electrochemical model is developed for an isothermal, constant-current discharge of a Li-S cell to predict the voltage at 60% discharge depth. In the model, cathode exchange current density is defined as a linear function of the electro...
Effect of solid state power amplifier nonlinearity on various phase shift keying modulation schemes
Dudak, Celal; Koç, Arzu; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
This study concentrates on the performance evaluation of a specific modulation scheme under nonlinear operation. This modulation scheme is the phase shift keying (PSK) modulation, exemplified by the special cases of BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, p/4-QPSK. The specific nonlinear block is chosen to be the solid state power amplifier (SSPA) structure whose simulation model is the Rapp model. Varying transmitter filter characteristic and one of the power amplifier parameters constitute the main methodology of simulations....
Effect of soil bridge interaction on the distribution of live load effects among integral bridge components
Erhan, S.; Dicleli, Murat (2010-07-15)
In this study, the effect of soil-bridge interaction on the magnitude of the internal forces in integral bridge (IB) components due to live load effects is studied. For this purpose, structural models of typical IBs are built by including and excluding the effect of backfill and foundation soil. The analyses of the models are then conducted under AASHTO live load. In the analyses, the effects of the backfill and foundation soil on the magnitude of the internal forces in IB components are studied for various...
