    Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare and lethal condition associated with a high risk of rapid enlargement and rupture. It develops after transmural myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac surgery, trauma, or infection. When a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is detected, surgical repair is recommended due to the high possibility of rupture. In this report, we present surgical treatment of a giant cardiac pseudoaneurysm that occurred after MI in a colon carcinoma patient

    Hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium alloy thin films prepared by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) with varying Germanium concentrations have been investigated in both the annealed and the light soaked state. Samples were characterized using steady state photoconductivity and dual beam photoconductivity (DBP). The Staebler-Wronski effect has been investigated by monitoring the changes in the photoconductivity, σ ph, and the increase in the sub-bandgap absorption coefficient, α. The kinetics of defect creation for different germanium contents has also been compared with those for unalloyed hydrogenated amorphous silicon films. It is found that for the films with low Ge fraction, both a decrease in the photoconductivity and an increase in α (1.0eV) show similar time dependences to those observed in a-Si:H films. However, as the Ge content increases, σ ph degrades faster and the same time dependence is not seen in the increase of α(1.0eV)

    Konferans Bildirisi -- Teorik ve Uygulamalı Mekanik Türk Milli Komitesi, 2008Conference Paper -- Theoretical and Applied Mechanical Turkish National Committee, 2008Bu çalışmada, mekanik ve ısıl yüklemelere maruz fonksiyonel kademelendirilmiş dairesel plakaların geometrik lineer olmayan analizleri yapıldı. Analizlerde Green-Lagrange şekil değiştirme tensörü kullanıldı. Kademelendirilmiş bölgedeki lokal malzeme özelliklerinin hesaplanmasında mikromekanik model olarak Mori-Tanaka şeması kullanıldı. Isıl yüklemeye maruz plakalarda kalınlık boyunca sıcaklık dağılımı sürekli rejim ısı transferi denklemi çözülerek tespit edildi. Örnek olarak da Zirkonya (ZrO2) ve Alüminyumdan (Al) oluşan fonksiyonel kademelendirilmiş dairesel plaka kullanıldı ve elde edilen sonuçlar grafik olarak sunuldu.In this study, geometrically nonlinear analysis of functionally graded circular plates subjected to mechanical and thermal loads was carried out. The Green-Lagrange strain tensor in its entirety was used in the analysis. The locally effective material properties were evaluated using homogenization method that is based on the Mori-Tanaka scheme. In the case of thermally loaded plates, the temperature variation through the thickness was determined by solving a steady-state heat transfer (i.e., energy) equation. As an example, an FGM circular plate composed of Zirconium (ZrO2) and Aluminum (Al) was used and results are presented in graphical form

    Konferans Bildirisi -- Teorik ve Uygulamalı Mekanik Türk Milli Komitesi, 2015Conference Paper -- Theoretical and Applied Mechanical Turkish National Committee, 2015Sandviç yapılar, sahip oldukları yüksek performans özelliklerinin farklı malzeme kombinasyonları ile elde edildiği kompozit malzeme alanının özel bir uygulamasıdır. Konvansiyonel malzemelere göre sahip oldukları birçok üstün özellikleri ile oldukça geniş bir uygulama alanına (havacılık ve uzay, otomotiv, savunma, vs.) sahiptirler. Sandviç yapı elemanları, uygulama alanına yönelik istenilen özelliklere sahip olması açısından farklı yüzey plakaları ve çekirdek malzemelerinden oluşabilir. Sandviç yapılar, kullanım alanlarına bağlı olarak darbeli yüklemelere maruz kalabildikleri için düşük hızlı darbe cevabının belirlenmesi oldukça önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Fonksiyonel kademelendirilmiş plakalar ile desteklenmiş bal peteği sandviç yapıların düşük hızlı darbe yükleri altındaki deformasyonları ve enerji sönümleme kabiliyetleri LS-DYNA® sonlu elemanlar programı kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Sandviç yapı, Al/SiC fonksiyonel kademelendirilmiş kompozit yüzey plakaları ve Al 3003-H19 alaşımı bal peteğinden oluşmaktadır. Sandviç yapının darbe cevabı, fonksiyonel kademelendirilmiş destek plakalarının farklı malzeme kompozisyonu, vurucu kütlesinin sabit olduğu farklı çarpma enerjileri ve bal peteği çekirdek malzemesinin farklı hücre duvar kalınlıkları için incelenmiştir.Sandwich structures are specific applications of the composite materials whose high performance properties are obtained by different material combinations. They have quite extensive usage areas (aeronautics and aerospace, automotive, defense, etc.) with their several high quality properties compared with the conventional materials. Sandwich structures can be consisted of different facesheets and core materials in order to have required properties for the application areas. The determination of the low-velocity impact response of the sandwich structures has an important role by reason of their working areas with impulsive loadings. The deformations and energy absorption capability of the honeycomb sandwich structures reinforced by the functionally graded plates under low-velocity impact loads were investigated using explicit finite element software, LS-DYNA®. The sandwich structure was consisted of Al/SiC FG facesheets and Al 3003-H19 aluminum honeycomb core. The impact response of the sandwich structure was investigated in terms of different material compositions of the FG plates, impact energies and cell wall thickness of the honeycomb core

    Konferans Bildirisi -- Teorik ve Uygulamalı Mekanik Türk Milli Komitesi, 2015Conference Paper -- Theoretical and Applied Mechanical Turkish National Committee, 2015Günümüzde de gelişen tehditler karşısında daha etkin balistik koruma sağlayacak hafif ve yüksek performanslı zırhların geliştirilmesi kritik bir ihtiyaç haline gelmiş ve bu sahadaki yeni malzeme arayışları seramik ön yüzlü kompozit zırhları ön plana çıkarmıştır. Katmanlı yapıya sahip bu plakalar yüksek mukavemetleri ve yüksek rijitlikleri nedeniyle balistik sistemlerde yaygın olarak kullanılırlar. Ancak, katmanlardaki malzeme özelliklerinin ani olarak değişmesi nedeniyle ara yüzeylerde yüksek gerilmeler meydana gelir ve bu gerilmeler de katmanlar arasında ayrılmalara (delaminasyon) neden olur. Bu olumsuz etkiler fonksiyonel kademelendirilmiş malzemeler (FGM) kullanılarak azaltılabilir ya da ortadan kaldırılabilir. Bu çalışma ile farklı seramik bileşenlere sahip fonksiyonel kademelendirilmiş sandviç plakalarda balistik darbe yükleme altında meydana gelen hasar mekanizmaları ve deformasyonları deneysel olarak incelenmiştir.Today, the development of high-performance and light armors has become a critical requirement against emerging threats. The research for new materials in this field has brought ceramic-faced composite armors to the forefront. Layered composite structures are widely used in ballistic systems due to their high strength and high stiffness. An abrupt change in their material properties across an interface between discrete materials introduces large interlaminar stresses that could cause delamination. One way to overcome this adverse effect is to use a functionally graded material (FGM). The purpose of this study is to determine damage and deformation mechanisms of functionally graded sandwich plates, which have different ceramic components, under ballistic impact loads

    Background: An abscess is a pocket of pus that forms around the root of an infected tooth. In this study, we aimed to investigate the extracellular matrix proteases ADAMTS1, ADAMTS4, osteonectin, and osteopontin expressions in abscess fluid cells in jaws after implantation and prosthesis operation. Materials and methods: In this clinical study, abscess fluids belonging to 17 patients who applied to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery were examined histopathologically and immunohistochemically. In the histopathological examination of the abscess fluid, separation of chromatin bridges in the nuclei of neutrophil cells, pyknosis and apoptotic changes in the nucleus, degenerative change in the cytoplasm, and occasional vacuolar structures were observed. Results: The positive reaction of ADAMTS1 was observed in fibroblast cells, plasma cells, and macrophage cells. The positive reaction of ADAMTS4 was observed in fibroblast cells, osteoclast cells, and some apoptotic leukocyte cells. Osteopontin expression in osteoclastic cells and polymorphonuclear cells was defined as positive. Osteonectin expression was positive in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and hypertrophic fibroblast cells. Conclusions: ADAMTS1 and ADAMTS4 may induce bone destruction with its distinctive property in alveolar bone resorption, which promotes the activation of osteoclasts, which can accelerate the destruction of the extracellular matrix in the acute phase. Furthermore, osteoclastic activity increased with the increase of osteonectin and osteopontin protein expression due to inflammation in the abscess cases
