Microbeams are building blocks for many micro and nanostructures as well as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and cannot accurately be modelled by classical continuum theories due to size effects due to their micro-scale. These size effects can be taken into account by the so-called higher order continuum theories. Modified Strain Gradient Theory (MSGT) and Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST) are two commonly used theories, which extend the classical local continuum theories of grade one with the introduction of additional length scale parameters. In this contribution, the variational problem governing the elasticity of higher order beam formulation and the finite element implementation based upon, are briefly introduced. To this end, well known Euler-Bernoulli beam formulation assumptions are used. The size effect for gold-micro beams is demonstrated and the length scale parameters of gold micro-beams for MSGT and MCST are identified form the existing experimental data from literature for the first time. As a novel aspect, significant size effect is demonstrated for the length scales associated with the state of the art gold micro-beam structures developed for NEMS and MEMS applications, which reveals the necessity of the use of higher order theories at these length scales. Advantages and drawbacks of these theories are also discussed comparatively

Analysis of gold micro-beams with modified strain gradient theory Dal, Hüsnü (2017-07-01) Micro-beams are building blocks for many micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) and cannot accurately be modeled by classical continuum theories due to significant size effects at the length scales associated with these structures. Size effects can be taken into account by the so-called higher-order continuum theories. In this study, Euler-Bernoulli microbeams are analyzed with the Modified Strain Gradient Theory (MSGT), which extends the classical local continuum theories of grade one with ...
Computational studies on nitratoethylnitramine (NENA), its tautomers and charged forms Türker, Burhan Lemi; Atalar, Taner (2009-02-15) An energetic material, nitratoethylnitramine (NENA), its tautomers and also its charged forms are considered quantum chemically, using various basis sets at the levels of ab initio and density functional theories (DFT). NENA has been found to be sensitive to negative charge development, resulting in rupture of O-NO(2) bond. Also conformational and molecular dynamics (MD) studies have been performed on NENA. Various geometrical parameters, energies and infrared spectra have been obtained and discussed. Also,...
The numerical solution on coupling coefficients of corrugated waveguides / Menteş, Pınar; Çakır, Serhat; Department of Physics (2003) The problem of propagation and interaction of optical radiation in dielectric waveguides is cast in the coupled-mode formalism. This approach is useful for treating problems involving energy exchange between modes. In this study, the principal features of coupled modetheory are reviewed. A number of guided-wave interactions encountered in guided-wave optics are analyzed using coupled-mode theory. Explicit expressions for the coupling coefficient which play a central role in this theory, are given. Also, an ...
Investigation of Metal and Non-Metal Doped Dimer and Trimer C-60 Fullerene Chains as Prospective Spin Cluster Qubits Polad, S.; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2011-04-01) We have calculated the optimized geometries, electronic structures and spin distributions of metal and non-metal elements Li, Na, N and P doped C60 fullerene dimers and trimers with different spin multiplicities using hybrid density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G level of theory. Natural population analysis and Mulliken population analysis show that non-metal elements (N, P) inside the C60 fullerene dimers and trimers are well isolated and preserve their electronic structures while charge transf...
Study of W boson production in pPb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=5.02 TeV Adam, W.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2015-11-01) The first study of W boson production in pPb collisions is presented, for bosons decaying to a muon or electron, and a neutrino. The measurements are based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34.6 nb(-1) at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of root(NN)-N-S = 5.02 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment. The W boson differential cross sections, lepton charge asymmetry, and forward-backward asymmetries are measured for leptons of transverse momentum exceeding 25 GeV/c, and as a fu...
