Application of computer-aided injection moulding simulation for thermoplastic materials Onalir, B; Kaftanoglu, B; Balkan, Raif Tuna (1998-01-01) 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. Details of simu...
Development of mems technology based microwave and millimeter-wave components Çetintepe, Çağrı; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) This thesis presents development of microwave lumped elements for a specific surface-micromachining based technology, a self-contained mechanical characterization of fixed-fixed type beams and realization of a shunt, capacitive-contact RF MEMS switch for millimeter-wave applications. Interdigital capacitor, planar spiral inductor and microstrip patch lumped elements developed in this thesis are tailored for a surface-micromachining technology incorporating a single metallization layer, which allows an easy ...
Investigation of structural and electronic properties of ZnCdTe ternary alloy nanostructures Kurban, Mustafa; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2016) Nanostructures, including II-VI compound semiconductors, have attracted enormous attention in a wide range of applications of nanotechnology due to the unusual mechanical, electrical and thermal properties under varying size, geometry, temperature and pressure when compared to corresponding bulk materials. However, these properties are not directly measurable by experiments because of the methods or the availability of the experimental tools, so theoretical models and computations play an important role in ...
Evolution of the electronic structure and properties of charged titanium doped aluminum nanoclusters ERDOĞDU, YUSUF; Erkoç, Şakir (2013-11-01) A systematic study of the titanium doped aluminum clusters with various spin multiplicities have been performed by using Density Functional Theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap, ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA), Adiabatic Electron Affinity (AEA), Vertical Electron Affinity (VDE) and vertical detachment energy (VDE) are also computed for the most stable isomer of each cluster.
Piezoelectric ceramics and their applications in smart aerospace structures Çalışkan, Tarkan; Yaman, Yavuz; Nalbantoğlu, Volkan; Department of Aeronautical Engineering (2002) This thesis investigates some applications of smart structures in aerospace engineering. The smart structures considered are finite and flat aluminum beam-like and plate-like structures with surface bonded PZT (Lead-Zirconate-Titanate) patches. The smart structures are studied in cantilevered configuration. The thesis gives the theoretical and experimental studies conducted on the smart structures with particular attention given to the vibration control aspects. In the determination of the structural models...
