Hot forming is highly utilized in manufacturing of complex shapes. Relatively low flow stresses of materials at elevated temperatures provide ease of manufacturing. On the other side, the current trend is to replace hot forming with cold forming due to the superior mechanical properties and higher dimensional accuracy of the products and less energy consumption. However, cold forming requires high tooling costs and forming loads. In this study, a new process is proposed for production of complex shaped products where the disadvantages of both of the alternatives are tried to be minimized. The basic idea is to control the mode of deformation by heating the specimen locally prior to forming. Electromagnetic induction is used for local heating. Numerical simulations are carried out by finite element method (FEM) for further investigation on the effect of parameters. Thermo-mechanical analysis of heat diffusion and upsetting is supported by electromagnetic analysis of induction heating. The failure modes and operational window of the novel process is established. Conclusions are drawn on the applicability of the process and the effect of process parameters on the efficiency.

Free forming of locally laser heated parts
Özmen, Murat; Tekkaya, A. Erman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
As metals have high formability at elevated temperatures, hot forming is preferred and widely used in manufacturing of complicated geometries. The term أhot formingؤ is usually used if the whole workpiece is processed at elevated temperatures. However, for certain products high formability is required only locally. Forming by local heating is proposed to provide ease of manufacturing of local forms on the workpiece. Also, tools can be simplified by this method. In this study, local laser heating procedures ...
Electromagnetic absorbance properties of a textile material coated using filtered arc-physical vapor deposition method
ESEN, MEHMET; İLHAN, İLHAMİ; KARAASLAN, MUHARREM; ÜNAL, EKİN ANIL; Dincer, F.; Sabah, C. (2015-09-01)
We explore the structure of a textile absorber in terms of its electromagnetic and absorption properties in the microwave region. Its absorption characteristics are similar to those reported for various metamaterial-based absorbers, exhibiting absorption as high as 98% at resonance. In addition, the angular behavior of the absorption properties of the sample reveal incident angle independency, which is the other added value of the study. Also, the suggested textile absorber has a simple configuration, which...
Inhibitory effects of plant originated extracts on bovine lens aldose reductase
Zaimoğlu, Selin; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
Aldose reductase, E.C.1.1.1.21, catalyzes the reduction of different types of aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols, and especially reduces various aldo-sugars using NADPH as the coenzyme. Under hyperglycemic conditions aldose reductase is involved in the development of diabetic complications. As a result, interest has been placed over the years on the development of potent aldose reductase inhibitors for possible use in the therapy of these severe diabetic complications. In this study, aldose reductase...
Steering of redundant robotic manipulators and spacecraft integrated power and attitude control-control moment gyroscopes
Altay, Alkan; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, recently developed Blended Inverse (B-inverse) steering law is applied to two different redundant actuator systems. First, repeatability of Binverse is demonstrated on a redundant robotic manipulator. Its singularity avoidance and singularity transition performance is also demonstrated on the same actuator system. It is shown that B-inverse steering law provides singularity avoidance, singularity transition and repeatability. Second, its effectiveness is demonstrated for an Integrated Power ...
On Micromechanically Based Approaches to Failure in Polymers
SCHÄNZEL, Lisa; Dal, Hüsnü; Miehe, Christian (2013-03-22)
Rubbery polymers comprise of three‐dimensional network structures, formed by flexible and mobile chains. They exhibit highly non‐linear ground state elastic combined with rate‐dependent inelastic material response. The key challenge in the micromechanically‐based modeling of polymer materials is the construction of micro‐macro transition that provides a bridge between microscopic kinematic variables of a single chain and macroscopic deformation measures of a continuum. The fracture toughness of rubbery poly...
