Microscale forming operations have become popular due to miniaturisation which focuses on micro scale design and manufacturing of devices, components and parts, e.g. in RF-MEMS. In such processes when the component dimension becomes comparable with the grain size, considerable size effect is observed. Recent experimental studies on micron sized sheet specimens have shown that the ratio between thickness (t) and grain size (d) has a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of materials which cannot be explained merely with the intrinsic (grain) size effect. Even though the grain sizes are similar, remarkable differences in mechanical response is obtained for cases with different thicknesses. In this context the aim of the current study is to address this extrinsic type size effect through crystal plasticity simulations. A series of local crystal plasticity finite element simulations are conducted for different values of t/d ratio in tensile specimens. Different granular morphologies of polycrystalline samples are generated using Voronoi tessellation and tested under axial loading conditions. The macroscopic influence of varying t/d ratio is studied in detail and compared with the experimental findings in the literature.

Effect of annealing on the mechanical properties of pla parts produced by fused filament fabrication
Aydın, Sencer; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2021-9-01)
Additive manufacturing has become a disruptive technology for the production of load bearing components in a wide range of applications. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is among the most effective and economical techniques for the printing of polymeric parts. There are numerous thermoplastic materials suitable for FFF. Among these, Polylactic acid (PLA) is a renewable, sustainable and cost-effective alternative. For better utilization of PLA parts produced by FFF, there is a need to understand the structur...
The Effects of Gate-Connected Field Plates on Hotspot Temperatures of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs
Dundar, Canberk; Kara, Dogacan; Donmezer, Nazli (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-01-01)
To increase the reliability and the maximum performance of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), gate field plates are frequently used with surface passivation. Although significant research has been done to understand the electrical effects of gate field plates on devices, their thermal effects are still not fully understood. For this purpose, electrothermal simulations are performed on devices with and without gate field plates having different thicknesses of Si3N4 surface passivation at t...
The Effect of Thermohydrogen Process on the Mechanical Properties of the Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Produced by Selective Laser Melting
Bilgin, Guney Mert; Esen, Ziya; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2018-10-27)
Selective laser melting (SLM) is a powder bed fusion type additive manufacturing (AM) process that allows fabrication of complex and detailed components from computer aided design (CAD) model in one single step without the need of costly tools.Ti-6Al-4V alloy is widely used in the applications where high specific strength is required particularly in aero engine discs, frames and compressors.Production of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy with a conventional methodis inadequate in manufacturing complex shaped parts used e...
Strain Gradient Polycrystal Plasticity for Micro-Forming
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Özdemir, İzzet (2016-04-29)
The developments in the micro-device industry has produced a substantial demand for the miniaturized metallic components with ultra-thin sheet materials that have thickness dimensions on the order of 50-500 mu m which are produced through micro-forming processes. It is essential to have predictive tools to simulate the constitutive behavior of the materials at this length scale taking into account the physical and statistical size effect. Recent studies have shown that on the scale of several micrometers an...
Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured 18Ni300 Maraging Steels
Aydın, İbrahim; Yağmur, Aydın; Tirkeş, Süha; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2021-09-01)
Recently, additive manufacturing of maraging steels has gained importance as an alternative to the traditional manufacturing techniques for aerospace components. In this study, various procedures were conducted to find optimum homogenization and aging treatment parameters for 18Ni300 parts that were additively manufactured via Selective Laser Melting (SLM).
