None DESCRIPTION Objectives: The static nature of many physical systems are not quite linear, although they can be in many cases approximated by linear equations mainly for mathematical simplicity. This simplification may be satisfactory as long as the resulting solutions are agreement with experimental results. One of the most important characteristics of non-linear systems is the dependence of the system response behavior on the magnitude and type of the input. For example, a non-linear system may behave completely different in response to step inputs of different magnitudes. As pointed out in “Advanced Control” courses, non-linear systems differ from linear systems greatly in that the principle of “Superposition” does not hold for the former. Non-linear systems exhibit many phenomenon that cannot be seen in linear systems and in investigating such systems, one most be familiar with these phenomenon. In this lecture, different kind of nonlinearities and their properties and the methods to represent them, will be discussed.

None DESCRIPTION Objectives: The transfer of energy by thermal radiation depends on the differences of individual absolute temperatures of the bodies each raised to a power in the range of about 4 or 5. Consequently radiation contributes substantially to the heat transfer in furnaces and combustion chambers besides, when no medium is present; radiation becomes the only significant mode of heat transfer. The importance of such a course arose from high temperatures associated with increased engine efficiencies, the operation of devices where convection vanishes and radiation becomes the only external mode of heat transfer.

Learning outcomes:

Amplify the significance of radiative heat transfer especially for high temperature over design.

Contents: The course is divided into three main sections. The first deals with the radiation properties of opaque materials. This includes the black body and the measured properties. The second discusses radiation exchange in enclosures, with and without convection and wall conduction. Finally radiation in partially transmitting materials is studied.


The course is taught in a lecture, class presentation and discussion format. All class members are expected to attend and both the lecture and seminar hours and take part in the discussion sessions.

The emphasis in this course is an analysis of continuous systems rather than discrete system models. Starting with single degree of freedom systems with nonlinear stiffness and damping and variable inertia problems, various analytical, graphical and numerical techniques including stability analysis are discussed. A concise treatment of variational principles and their application to vibration problems is given next.

None DESCRIPTION

Objectives: The primary objective of this course is to expand the theoretical and numerical background of the student beyond that covered in a first course in elementary strength of materials.

Learning outcomes:

To review and make more useful the methods and results presented in the first course in strength of materials. To show the limitations of the ordinary formulas of strength of materials, to consider the conditions under which these limitations are significant, and to extend the subject to include a variety of important topics more complex than those usually considered in a first course. To present a more comprehensive and useful view of the fundamental concepts and methods used in the analysis of stresses in structural and machine members. To change the usual attitude of the student from one of dogmatic confidence in the methods employed and results obtained to one in which the methods and results are viewed as merely approximate but such that under certain conditions they become available and useful.

Contents: The course reviews the basic definitions and relationships between fundamental state properties beginning with external forces, the discussion them leads to into the theory of stress. The presentation of the theory of strain is followed. Although both these theories are based on the concept of a general continuum they are presented separately. However, to relate the stress at a point in a material to the corresponding strain at that point, material properties are required. These properties enter into the stress-strain temperature relations as material coefficients. The first law thermodynamics is presented there after since it constitutes the theoretical basis for these relations. Torsion of prismatic bars with non-circular cross-section is discussed. And finally membrane stresses in shells is introduced as selected classic topics. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS

Instructor: Prof. Dr. Ramazan KARAKUZU Instruction Language: Turkish PREREQUISITIES None DESCRIPTION Objectives: The finite element method has become a powerful tool for the numerical solution of a wide range of engineering problems. Applications range from deformation and stress analysis of automotive, aircraft, building, and bridge structures to field analysis of heat flux, fluid flow, magnetic flux, seepage, and other flow problems. With the advances in computers technology and CAD systems, complex problems can be modeled with relative ease. Several alternative configurations can be tried out on a computer before the first prototype is built. All of this suggests that we need to keep place with these developments by understanding the basic theory, modeling techniques, and computational aspects of the finite element method. In this method of analysis, a complex region defining a continuum is discretized into simple geometric shapes called finite elements. The material properties and the governing relationships are considered over these elements and expressed in terms of unknown values at element corners. An assembly process, duly considering the loading and constrains, results in a set of equations. Solution of these equations gives us the approximate behavior of the continuum.

Knowledge of fatigue mechanism n the material and how it can be affected by a large variety of practical conditions is essential for dealing with fatigue problems. Designing against fatigue not only includes the overall concept of the structure with related safety and economic aspects, but also design, production and material surface quality, as well as the fatigue performance of the structure. This requires a knowledge of the various influencing factors since predictions on fatigue have their limitations and shortcomings.

The analysis of fatigue of materials and structures will be covered by giving real life examples and ways of preventing in-service structural fatigue failures. It will be emphasized that prediction, without understanding the relevant aspects involved in fatigue s uacceptable.

Learning outcomes:

This course is expected to help the students to predict failure by fatigue by examining the structure and distinguish between several failure types.

To help the student to learn the fundamental concepts involved in fatigue.

To develop students’ ability of designing against fatigue failure by taking into consideration the relevant aspects of “fail-safe” approach.

Contents: The course begins with a brief introduction of fatigue as a phenomenon in the material, crack initiation and growth mechanisms and characteristic features of fatigue failures. Stress life and strain life approaches are examined. Stress concentrations at notches, residual stresses and stress intensity factors of cracks are emphasized. Fatigue properties of several materials are investigated. Fatigue crack growth in notched materials including test methods, and analysis approaches, are examined. Finally fatigue of joints and structures are investigated.

Dynamics is founded upon a few basic principles, and it is the manipulation and interpretation of these principles that form the advanced nature of the subject. In general, new methods for the analysis of more complex problems are formulated from the basic principles and a broader use of mathematics.

It is tried to integrate the principles of dynamics with other subject matter encountered in the engineering curriculum in this course. In this way the student’s viewpoint of engineering is broadened so that he begins to grasp the concept of “engineering analysis”.

Learning outcomes:

This course is expected to help the students to predict through calculation the behaviour of engineering components and systems.

To help the student to develop a solid background of analytical capability for advanced analysis.

To develop students’ ability of formulating a problem by constructing a mathematical model which incorporates appropriate physical assumptions and mathematical approximations .

Contents: The course begins with a brief review of particle kinematics in three different coordinate systems. Kinetics of systems of particles is followed. Motion relative to rotating axes is investigated and rigid bodies including work-energy and impulse-momentum principles are discussed next. Finally, three dimensional kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies are analyzed. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS

This course is taught in a lecture, class presentation and problem-session format. All students are expected to attend both the lecture and problem-session so they are also expected to solve on their own and submit homeworks in time.

Instructor: Prof.Dr. İsmail Hakkı TAVMAN Instruction Language: English PREREQUISITIES None DESCRIPTION Objectives: Conventional power generation, on average, is only 35% efficient -up to 65% of the energy potential is released as waste heat. More recent combined cycle generation can improve this to 55%, excluding Iosses for the transmission and distribution of electricity .Cogeneration reduces this ioss by using the heat for industry , commerce and home heating/cooling. Cogeneration is the simultaneous generation of heat and power, both of which are used. it encompasses a range of technologies, but will always include an electricity generator and a heat recovery system. Cogeneration is also known as 'combined heat and power (CHP)' and 'total energy'. , In conventional electricity generation, further Iosses of around 5-1 0% are associated with the transmission and distribution of electricity from relatively remote power stations via the electricity grid. These Iosses are greatest when electricity is delivered to the smallest consumers. Through the utilisation of the heat, the efficiency of cogeneration plant can reach 90% or more. In addition, the electricity generated by the cogeneration plant is normally used Iocally, and then transmission and distribution Iosses will be negligible. Cogeneration therefore offers energy savings ranging between 15-40% when compared against the supply of electricity and heat from conventional power stations and boilers. Cogeneration technique is widely used in the world and in Turkey , and is included in most of graduate programs. dealing with energy , so this course will be useful for the students who wish to specialize in energy savings techniques.
