Acoustophoresis which means separation of particles and cells using acoustic waves is becoming an intensive research subject. The method is based on inducing an ultrasonic compression standing wave inside a microchannel. A finite element approach is used to model the acoustic and electro-mechanical behavior of the piezoelectric material, the micro-channel geometry as well as the fluid inside the channel. The choices of silicon and PDMS materials are investigated as the chip materials for the resonator. A separation channel geometry which is commonly used in the literature is implemented in this study and the fluid flow inside the microchannel geometry is simulated using computational fluid dynamics. The acoustic field inside the fluid channel is also be simulated using the finite element method. For the separation process to be successful micro-particles of different diameter groups should end up in different channels of the micro-separator. In order to simulate real life scenarios, each particle size group have a size distribution within themselves. For realistic simulation results the particles will be released into the micro separator from a different starting locations (starting location distribution). The results of this Monte-Carlo based finite element simulation approach will be compared with the reported experimental results.

Finite element analysis of a projection-based stabilization method for the Darcy-Brinkman equations in double-diffusive convection
Cibik, Aytekin; Kaya Merdan, Songül (2013-02-01)
This paper presents a projection-based stabilization method of the double-diffusive convection in Darcy-Brinkman flow. In particular, it is concerned with the convergence analysis of the velocity, temperature and concentration in the time dependent case. Numerical experiments are presented to verify both the theory and the effectiveness of the method. (C) 2012 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
A methodology for designing tonpilz-type transducers
Çepni, Kerim; Baker, Derek Keıth; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
Tonpilz-type transducers are the most commonly used projectors in underwater acoustic applications. However, no complete design approach is available in the literature for such transducers. The present study aims to fill this gap in the literature by providing a systematic design approach for the Tonpilz-type transducers. The proposed methodology involves the use of different analytical models and a finite element model of such transducers. Each model provides a different level of accuracy that is tightly c...
Finite Element Modelling of TBC Failure Mechanisms by Using XFEM and CZM
Bostanci, Safa Mesut; Gürses, Ercan; Çöker, Demirkan (Elsevier BV; 2019-01-01)
Thermal Barrier Coatings have been widely used in modern turbine engines to protect the nickel based metal substrate from the high temperature service conditions, 1600-1800 K. In this study, failure mechanisms of typical Air Plasma Sprayed Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) used in after-burner structures composed of three major layers: Inconel 718 substrate, NiCrAlY based metallic bond coat (BC) and Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) based ceramic top coat (TC) are investigated. Investigation of the cracking mec...
Finite element modelling and simulation of drying isotropic and anisotropic food samples
Soydan Karabacak, Meltem; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Esin, Ali; Department of Food Engineering (2013)
The aim of this study was to investigate drying characteristics (temperature gradient, rate of drying and temperature change, drying time, diffusivity values, shrinkage) of isotropic and anisotropic foods by observing the changes in temperatures at four different locations and moisture contents and to build an appropriate model for simulation of temperature and moisture distribution using finite element method. The lean meat samples (anisotropic) with three fiber configurations (v; flow normal to fiber, dry...
Finite element modeling of beams with functionally graded materials
Gürol, Tolga; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
In this thesis a new beam element that is based on force formulation is proposed for modeling elastic and inelastic analysis of beams with functionally graded materials. The attempt of producing functionally graded materials (FGM) arose from mixing two materials in such a way that both of them preserve their physical, mechanical and thermal properties most effectively. FGM shows a gradation through the depth from typically a metallic material such as steel or aluminum at one face of the beam’s section depth...
