FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF CMUTs: CONVENTIONAL VS. COLLAPSE OPERATION MODES
Yaralioglu, Goksen G.; Bayram, Barış; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus T. (2006-01-01)
Collapse mode has been proposed to improve Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (CMUT) performance in terms of output pressure and receive sensitivity. The focus of this study is to compare the performance of optimized designs for conventional and collapse mode operations using finite element analysis (FEA). For this purpose, we have developed a 2D finite element model for output pressure calculation of CMUTs using commercially available FEA software (ANSYS 10.0). The model is composed of a membra...
Finite element structural model updating by using experimental frequency response functions
Öztürk, Murat; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
Initial forms of analytical models created to simulate real engineering structures may generally yield dynamic response predictions different than those obtained from experimental tests. Since testing a real structure under every possible excitation is not practical, it is essential to transform the initial mathematical model to a model which reflects the characteristics of the actual structure in a better way. By using structural model updating techniques, the initial mathematical model is adjusted so that...
Finite element formulations for Kirchhoff-Love microplates
Kandaz, Murat; Dal, Hüsnü; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020)
Micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS-NEMS) are integral parts of the modern world today and have gained importance since they were first introduced. There is still a huge demand for accurate electromechanical analyses of MEMS devices in order to reach even better design and manufacturing methods. It is vital that these devices are accurately modelled and analyzed based on the physical phenomena occurring within their inner structure as a result of the conditions they are subjected to. Classical c...

Finite element modeling of electromagnetic radiation
Özgün, Özlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a powerful numerical method to solve wave propagation problems for open-region electromagnetic radiation/scattering problems involving objects with arbitrary geometry and constitutive parameters. In high-frequency applications, the FEM requires an electrically large computational domain, implying a large number of unknowns, such that the numerical solution of the problem is not feasible even on state-of-the-art computers. An appealing way to solve a large FEM problem is to...
