Our objective in this thesis is to find and study three-dimensional gravity models which are broadly termed as ``Chern-Simons-like models'' for $N=2,3,4$ cases. First, the term ``Chern-Simons-like" is discussed and the difference between the Chern-Simons theory and Chern-Simons-like theory is given. Starting from the most generic Lagrangians which are invariant under local Lorentz transformations, the conditions that must be fulfilled so that the Bianchi identity (in the first order formalism) holds is found for each case. To determine whether the models found by using local Lorentz invariance and Bianchi identity are physical, Hamiltonian analysis is used.

Particle content of quadratic and f (R-mu nu sigma rho) theories in (A)dS
Tekin, Bayram (2016-05-17)
We perform a complete decoupling of the degrees of freedom of quadratic gravity and the generic f(R-mu nu sigma rho) theory about any one of their possible vacua, i.e. maximally symmetric solutions, and find the masses of the spin-2 and spin-0 modes in explicit forms.
Massive higher derivative gravity theories
Güllü, İbrahim; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2011)
In this thesis massive higher derivative gravity theories are analyzed in some detail. One-particle scattering amplitude between two covariantly conserved sources mediated by a graviton exchange is found at tree-level in D dimensional (Anti)-de Sitter and flat spacetimes for the most general quadratic curvature theory augmented with the Pauli-Fierz mass term. From the amplitude expression, the Newtonian potential energies are calculated for various cases. Also, from this amplitude and the propagator structu...
Numerical investigation of non-homogenous plastic deformation in quenching process
Gür, Cemil Hakan (2001-12-01)
The aim of the study is to investigate the evolution of internal stresses and non-homogeneous plastic deformation in quenching by numerical simulation. This paper presents the finite element model of quenching of axisymmetric components and the results of various numerical experiments. In the simulation, first the temperature distribution is determined as a function of geometry and time, Then. a model is described to give the volume fractions of phases as a function of time for the corresponding cooling cur...
Theoretical prediction of bulk glass forming ability (BGFA) of Ti-Cu based multicomponent alloys
SUER, Sila; Mehrabov, Amdulla; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-01)
The bulk glass forming ability (BGFA) of Ti-Cu based multicomponent alloys has been evaluated via theoretical modeling and computer simulation studies based on a combination of electronic theory of alloys in the pseudopotential approximation and the statistical thermodynamical theory of liquid alloys The. magnitude of atomic ordering energies, calculated by means of the electronic theory of alloys in the pseudopotential approximation, was subsequently used for calculation of the key thermodynamic parameters...
MODELING OF ASYMMETRIC MEMBRANE FORMATION .1. CRITIQUE OF EVAPORATION MODELS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A DIFFUSION EQUATION FORMALISM FOR THE QUENCH PERIOD
Yılmaz, Levent (1986-09-15)
In this paper a review and critique is presented of the mathematical models which have been developed to describe the mass transfer processes occurring during asymmetric membrane formation in polymeric systems. A principal object is to point out several shortcomings of the modelling efforts which have been primarily confined to a description of the evaporation step. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the general mass transfer problem along with the development of a model based on a pseudobinary di...
