As nanofabrication techniques progress, systems at the nanoscale find a rapidly increasing number of applications in various areas of technology. A particularly spectacular example of this phenomenon is carbon nanotubes (CNTs), tiny graphene sheets rolled up into single-or multi-walled cylinders. So far, CNTs have been used in diverse applications in device technology, drug delivery, field emission, air and water filtration, and many others. In addition to their unusual electronic properties, CNTs also possess extremely high axial strengths and are often used as strengthening agents in various host materials. In this talk, I will present results from a joint project run in the Aeroscape Engineering and Physics Departments on the reinforcement of polymer matrices by carbon nanotubes. We conduct molecular dynamics (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to model the interaction between the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer and single-walled CNTs. Our study serves not only to understand the physical properties of this novel interface such as adhesion energies, but also as a test of the REAXFF empirical potential (CHO and LG variants) against DFT studies. Following a brief introduction of the problem, I will first show results from our benchmark studies on the elastic properties of the two components separately, namely PEEK and CNTs. I will then present our finding on the interface, starting with a single polymer on a graphene sheet.

An intelligent design approach trained by fabrication techniques
Sönmez, Ayça; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-2-15)
The developments in recent technologies through Industry 4.0 lead to the integration of digital design and manufacturing processes. While manufacturing is becoming an essential input of the design, it is usually considered at the last stages of the design process. This misconception creates a gap between digital design and fabrication, resulting in fabricated outcome being different from initial design in the context of architectural tectonics. This thesis aims to provide a basis to bridge digital design an...
A Multi-camera system for automation of mouse grimace scaling using convolutional neural networks
Ağca, Ahmet; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
Over the past decade, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained great progress on the area of computer vision. Many problems related to automation of image recognition or classification are now possible to be solved using CNN with an accuracy much more than a human can achieve. One of these problems is the automation of Mouse Grimace Scaling (MGS). It is such a time consuming and error-prone task even for an expert to classify the pain levels of a mouse for lots of images captured from videos. For th...
A singular value decomposition approach for recommendation systems
Osmanlı, Osman Nuri; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Data analysis has become a very important area for both companies and researchers as a consequence of the technological developments in recent years. Companies are trying to increase their profit by analyzing the existing data about their customers and making decisions for the future according to the results of these analyses. Parallel to the need of companies, researchers are investigating different methodologies to analyze data more accurately with high performance. Recommender systems are one of the most...
A Numerical Approach to Simulating Oxidation in Thermal Barrier Coatings
Saeidi, Farid; Gürses, Ercan; Aslan, Özgür (Elsevier, Elsevier, 2020-01-01)
Computational analysis and simulation of multi-physics phenomena taking place in coating systems is still a challenging task. Specifically, for ceramic coatings used as a system of protection for base materials against elevated temperatures, known as thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems, construction of continuum level models which can express coupled nonlinear phenomena has attracted great attention. Thermal stresses, oxidation, creep and numerous other mechanisms and phenomena makes it even harder to mod...
A deep learning approach for the transonic flow field predictions around airfoils
Duru, Cihat; Alemdar, Hande; Baran, Özgür Uğraş (2022-01-01)
Learning from data offers new opportunities for developing computational methods in research fields, such as fluid dynamics, which constantly accumulate a large amount of data. This study presents a deep learning approach for the transonic flow field predictions around airfoils. The physics of transonic flow is integrated into the neural network model by utilizing Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations. A detailed investigation on the performance of the model is made both qualitatively and quant...
