Book Part Citation - Scopus: 518 - Acoustic and Mechanical Properties of Biofibers and Their Composites(Elsevier, 2022) Koç, Büşra; Genç, Garip; Körük, HasanIn this study, the acoustic and mechanical properties of many biofibers and their composites are presented. First, the sound absorption coefficients and transmission losses of commonly used natural fibers and their composites are presented, by clearly reporting the thickness of the samples, for three different frequency ranges (<500 Hz: low, 500–2000 Hz: medium, and >2000 Hz: high). In addition, the sound absorption coefficients (for low- and medium-frequency ranges) and noise reduction coefficients of some 40-cm-thick samples are overlaid in order to directly compare their performances. Second, the physical properties, such as the density, diameter, and length of biofibers, and mechanical properties, such as the damping (or loss factor) and Young’s modulus of biofibers and their composites, are presented in detail. For comparison purposes, the acoustic and mechanical properties of some conventional materials, such as carbon and glass fibers, are included in the tables and figures. Finally, the effects of some parameters, such as pretreatment, fiber diameter, fiber/matrix ratio, moisture content, manufacturing and machining parameters/techniques, and measurement conditions/methods, on the acoustic and mechanical properties of natural materials are presented. Furthermore, current applications and potential usage areas of natural fibers are briefly discussed.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 319 - Identification of the Elastic and Damping Properties of Jute and Luffa Fiber-Reinforced Biocomposites(Elsevier, 2022) Genç, Garip; Saygılı, Yusuf; Körük, Hasan; Şanlıtürk, Yusuf KenanAlthough there are many studies in the literature on the static mechanical properties of biomaterials such as tensile strength, the dynamic mechanical properties of biomaterials such as modal loss factors have not been investigated in detail. In this study, the Young’s moduli and damping (or loss factors) of some jute and luffa fiber-reinforced biocomposites are investigated. The effects of fiber/resin ratio and thickness on the mechanical properties of the jute and luffa composites are identified via an experimental approach. For this purpose, acoustic and structural frequency response functions of some homogeneous and hybrid jute and luffa composite plates with different fiber/resin ratios and thicknesses are measured. By analyzing the measured frequency response functions using the circle-fit method, the modal frequencies and loss factors of the homogeneous and hybrid composite plates are determined. By assuming that the homogeneous plates are isotropic, the same plates are modeled using the finite element method, and by comparing the experimental and theoretical natural frequencies, the elastic properties of the homogeneous plates are determined. In addition, the same homogeneous plates are modeled by considering an anisotropic material model, and the associated material properties are determined. By using the identified material properties, the finite element models of the hybrid composite plates are developed, and by comparing their experimental and theoretical natural frequencies, the identified elastic material properties are evaluated and validated.Conference Object A Business Model Frame for Innovative Startups - (july 11-15, 2017)(Global Business & Technology Association, 2017) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante JorgeCurrent business model frames such as the Business Model Canvas and the Lean Canvas do not address aspects of open innovation, problem statement, innovative problem solving, business metrics and disruptive strategies; therefore, a novel business model frame is introduced to cover these aspects. This new model is based on a combination of key principles of the theory of inventive problem solving applied to business and management, such as multi-screen analysis of value-conflict mapping, trends of ideality of business system evolution positioning, among others; but also, intellectual property, disruptive strategies, and open innovation, as well as startup metrics to describe the business differentiation and attractiveness to potential investors, incubators and accelerators. The entrepreneur designing his/her own startup should be able to justify if not all, most of the items to be able to demonstrate the idea strengths. And regarding both building blocks “Product Formulation and Inventive Problem Solving” and “Disruption Strategy”, certain training should be necessary.Article A Novel Business Model Frame for Innovative Startups – (Article)(2017) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante JorgePurpose- This paper presents a novel business model frame that is meant to explicitly include several approaches of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, disruptive strategies, business metrics, problem statement and opportunity formulation, as well as improvements on the profit formula. Methodology- The analysis first addresses the business model canvas, sketching and framing key points behind the development of startups. The analysis on existing business models covers the firm’s value proposition, partners, resources, activities, customer relationships, distribution channels, customers, revenue streams and cost structure. When it comes to innovative startups, the author emphasizes that existing template do not explicitly include innovation measures, no problem/opportunity formulation, intellectual property, or even basic business model concepts as the profit formula. Hence, an innovative frame is developed primarily using the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving technique applied to business and management such as multi-screen analysis of value-conflict mapping, trends of ideality of business system evolution positioning, among others; but also, intellectual property, disruptive strategies, and open innovation, as well as startup metrics. Findings- A novel frame is proposed, providing general guidelines for each of the sections. Any entrepreneur designing his/her own startup should be able to justify, if not all, most of the items to be able to demonstrate the idea strengths. Regarding the specific building blocks: “Product Formulation and Inventive Problem Solving” and “Disruption Strategy”, certain short training should be necessary. Conclusion- The proposed business model frame visually and concisely sketches, besides accurately stating traditional business concepts, the key innovation concepts that any startup should integrate to be a game-changer in a competitive market. The developed frame is a helpful mapping and evaluation tool to accurately describe the business differentiation and innovation attractiveness to potential investors, incubators and accelerators.Conference Object A Novel Business Model Frame for Innovative Startups - (may 12-14, 2017)(World Conference on Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 2017) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante JorgeThe business model canvas has been used in business and entrepreneurship to sketch and frame the key points behind the development of a startup, and it was meant to strategically analyze and develop startups or documenting existing businesses. The business model canvas describes the firm’s value proposition, partners, resources, activities, customer relationships, distribution channels, customers, revenue streams and cost structure. However, when it comes to innovative startups, this template does not explicitly include innovation measures, no problem/opportunity formulation, or even such a basic component of a business model, as the profit formula. The present paper proposes a novel business model frame to visually and concisely sketch, besides accurately state traditional business concepts, key innovation concepts that any startup should integrate to be a game-changer in a competitive market. This new model is based on a combination of key principles of the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) applied to business and management, such as multi-screen analysis of value-conflict mapping, trends of ideality of business system evolution positioning, among others; but also intellectual property, disruptive strategies, and open innovation, as well as startup metrics to describe the business differentiation and attractiveness to potential investors, incubators and accelerators.Conference Object Advances on Laser-Generated Surface Acoustic Wave-Based Characterization of Thin Films and Skin Tissues(2016) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge...Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Approximate Closed-Form Solutions for Vibration of Nano-Beams of Local/Non-local Mixture(Springer, 2022) Ruta, Giuseppe; Eroğlu, UğurcanThis paper presents an approach to natural vibration of nano-beams by a linear elastic constitutive law based on a mixture of local and non-local contributions, the latter based on Eringen's model. A perturbation in terms of an evolution parameter lets incremental field equations be derived; another perturbation in terms of the non-local volume fraction yields the variation of the natural angular frequencies and modes with the 'small' amount of non-locality. The latter perturbation does not need to comply with the so-called constitutive boundary conditions, the physical interpretation of which is still debated. The possibility to find closed-form solutions is highlighted following a thorough discussion on the compatibility conditions needed to solve the steps of the perturbation hierarchy; some paradigmatic examples are presented and duly commented.Conference Object Assessment of the Models for Predicting the Responses of Spherical Objects in Viscoelastic Mediums and at Viscoelastic Interfaces(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021) Körük, HasanSpherical objects, such as bubbles and spheres, embedded in mediums and atviscoelastic interfaces are encountered in many applications, including the determination ofmaterial properties.

The model is based on Hertz contact model and the model for a sphere in a medium.In addition to the elastic properties of medium and the size of sphere, the model considers thedensity of sphere, the density and viscosity of medium, and damping of oscillations of spheredue to radiation of shear waves. The model can predict not only the effects of the mechanicalproperties of medium, the physical properties of sphere, and the amplitude of excitation forceon sphere displacement, but also the effects of these parameters on shift of resonancefrequency. The proposed model can be used to identify the elastic and damping properties ofmaterials, and to understand the dynamic responses of spherical objects at viscoelasticinterfaces in practical applications.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Development of an Improved Mathematical Model for the Dynamic Response of a Sphere Located at a Viscoelastic Medium Interface(IOP, 2021) Körük, HasanA comprehensive investigation on the static and dynamic responses of a sphere located at elastic and viscoelastic medium interfaces is performed in this study. First, the mathematical models commonly used for predicting the static displacement of a sphere located at an elastic medium interface are presented and their performances are compared. After that, based on the finite element analyses, an accurate mathematical model to predict the static displacement of a sphere located at an elastic medium interface valid for different Poisson's ratios of the medium and small and large sphere displacements is proposed. Then, an improved mathematical model for the dynamic response of a sphere located at a viscoelastic medium interface is developed. In addition to the Young's modulus of the medium and the radius of the sphere, the model takes into account the density, Poisson's ratio and viscosity of the medium, the mass of the sphere and the radiation damping. The effects of the radiation damping, the Young's modulus, density and viscosity of the medium and the density of the sphere on the dynamic response of the sphere located at a viscoelastic medium interface are explored. The developed model can be used to understand the dynamic responses of spherical objects located at viscoelastic medium interfaces in practical applications. Furthermore, the proposed model is a significant tool for graduate students and researchers in the fields of engineering, materials science and physics to gain insight into the dynamic responses of spheres located at viscoelastic medium interfaces.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Displacement of a Bubble Located at a Fluid-Viscoelastic Medium Interface(Acoustical Society of America, 2019) Körük, Hasan; Choi, James J.A model for estimating the displacement of a bubble located at a fluid-viscoelastic medium interface in response to acoustic radiation force is presented by extending the model for a spherical object embed- ded in a bulk material. The effects of the stiffness and viscosity of the viscoelastic medium and the amplitude and duration of the excitation force on bubble displacement were investigated using the proposed model. The results show that bubble displacement has a nonlinear rela- tionship with excitation duration and viscosity. The time at which the steady state is reached increases with increasing medium viscosity and decreasing medium stiffness.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3First Iterative Solution of the Thermal Behaviour of Acoustic Cavitation Bubbles in the Uniform Pressure Approximation(2015) Delale, Can Fuat; Pasinlioglu, ŞenayThe thermal behaviour of a spherical gas bubble in a liquid driven by an acoustic pressure is investigated in the uniform pressure approximation by employing an iterative method to solve the energy balance equations between the gas bubble and the surrounding liquid for the temperature distribution and the gas pressure inside the bubble. It is shown that the first iterative solution leads to the first order law of the gas pressure as a polytropic power law of the bubble wall temperature and of the bubble radius, with the polytropic index given as an explicit function of the isentropic exponent of the gas. The resulting first order law of the gas pressure reduces to the classical isothermal and adiabatic laws in the appropriate limits. The first order gas pressure law is then applied to an acoustically driven cavitation bubble by solving the Rayleigh-Plesset equation. Results obtained show that the bubble wall temperature pulsations during collapse and rebound can become a few orders of magnitude higher than the bulk liquid temperature.Article Citation - Scopus: 3Identification of Material Viscoelastic Properties Using the Motion of a Rigid Sphere Located at Tissue-Mimicking Material Interface in Response To a Dynamic Force(Trans Tech Publications, 2022) Koç, Hayati Ömer; Körük, Hasan; Beşli, Ayça; Yurdaer, Berk SalihThe motion of a rigid sphere located at tissue-mimicking material interface in response to a dynamic force of short duration for the purpose of the determination of material viscoelastic properties was investigated in this study. The experiments were performed using a rigid sphere located at tissue-like material (gelatin phantom) interfaces. An electromagnet was used to apply the desired dynamic force to the sphere and a high-speed camera was used to track the movement of the sphere. Using the experimentally measured response of the sphere and the dynamic response of the sphere predicted by a sophisticated analytical model of the sphere located at a medium interface, the shear modulus, density and damping of the tissue-mimicking material were determined. The procedure followed in this study successfully produced the shear modulus, density and viscous damping ratio of the 20% (and 30%) gelation phantom as 1320 Pa, 1040 kg/m3 and 0.12 (and 2580 Pa, 1180 kg/m3 and 0.2), respectively. As the sophisticated theoretical model that is valid for small and large sphere displacements includes many parameters for the system such as the mass and size of the sphere, the inertia force of the medium involved in motion and the radiation damping due to shear waves and the experimental setup is very straightforward, it is believed that the procedure proposed in this study can be widely exploited to identify accurate material viscoelastic properties in practice.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Identification of the Viscoelastic Properties of Soft Materials Using a Convenient Dynamic Indentation System and Procedure(Elsevier, 2022) Körük, Hasan,; Beşli, Ayça,; Koç, Ömer Hayati,; Yurdaer, Berk Salih,The responses of soft structures such as tissue depend on their viscoelastic properties. Therefore, the knowledge of the elastic and damping properties of soft materials is of great interest. This paper presents the identification of the viscoelastic properties of soft materials using a convenient dynamic indentation system and procedure. Using an electromagnet, a force is applied to a rigid sphere located at the soft-material interface and the dynamic response of the sphere is recorded using a high-speed camera. The recorded video is processed to identify the displacement of the sphere as a function of time. The dynamic response of the sphere located at the soft-material interface is predicted using an analytical model that considers the shear modulus and density of the soft sample, the radiation damping due to shear waves, and the radius and density of the sphere. By matching the measured and predicted steady-state displacements of the sphere, the shear modulus of the soft sample is determined. The viscous damping ratio of the soft sample is identified by using an equivalent viscous damping ratio for the soft sample in the analytical model and matching the measured and predicted oscillation amplitudes of the sphere. Experiments and analyzes are performed using gelation phantoms with different mechanical properties, spheres of different materials and sizes, and different force levels to verify the system and procedure. Three experiments are performed for each gelation phantom, sphere, and external force, and the repeatability of the results is presented. The results show that the dynamic indentation system and procedure presented in this study can be conveniently used to determine the viscoelastic properties of soft materials in practical applications.Conference Object Improved Business Model Representation of Innovation Concepts(World Conference on Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 2015) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge; Küçükaydın, Hande; Özlem, Şirin; Bulgan, Gökçe; Aydın, Utkun; Son Turan, Semen; Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı; Teixeira, Frederico FialhoExcept for academics and consultants, the concept and purpose of innovation (not to mention related concepts such as “Open Innovation", "Free-Intellectual Property Innovation," or "Open Source Innovation") is usually unclear for most entrepreneurs and other practitioners. It often times happens that newly coined terminology becomes misleading or may even include a certain degree of sensationalism, hence turning into a matter of debate for specialists in the realm of technology management. Such has been the case for the term “Open Innovation”, since the word “open” is mainly related to crowd sourced innovation, but not for the openness on intellectual property rights. Since innovation is about the commercialization of original ideas, so we propose a simple and visual business model setting to resolve these concepts. To this regard, the “Business Model Canvas” has been used in business and entrepreneurship to sketch and frame the key points behind the development of a startup. This model was suggested by Alexander Osterwalder (2008) in his work on Business Model Ontology, as a strategic analysis template for developing startups or documenting existing businesses. It describes the firm’s value proposition, partners, resources, activities, customer relationships, distribution channels, customers, revenue streams and cost structure. However, when it comes to innovative startups, this template does not explicitly include such significant innovation components as intellectual property, its alignment to strategies, and intellectual property flow. The present paper proposes the use of an improved version of the Business Model Canvas to originally represent different models of innovation like Open Innovation, thus providing a clear, visual and quick representation of their meaning, and consequently, contribute to a better understanding of different concepts of innovation.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 18Investigation of the Acoustic and Mechanical Properties of Homogenous and Hybrid Jute and Luffa Bio Composites(Taylor & Francis, 2020) Garip Genç; Hasan Körük; Kenan Y. Sanlıtürk; Yusuf SaygılıDesign and development of new biomaterials has become a necessity due to adverse effects of chemical materials on people and nature. As the mechanical properties of biomaterials are not as good as those of chemical materials, their different configurations should be developed and tested before considering them for practical applications. Acoustic and mechanical properties of homogenous and hybrid jute and luffa biocomposites are investigated here. Homogenous and hybrid composites using jute and luffa fibers and epoxy are designed and manufactured and methods for identification of the acoustic and mechanical properties are summarized. Acoustic and structural frequency response functions are measured using homogenous and hybrid composite plates to determine their natural frequencies and loss factors. Using the experimental modal parameters of the plates and their theoretical models, elasticity moduli of biomaterials are determined. The acoustic absorption properties and transmission losses of homogeneous and hybrid composites are determined using impedance tube method. Results show that homogenous and hybrid jute and luffa composites can have moderate absorption coefficients (0.1 for a thickness of 4 mm) and superior damping performance of luffa and stiffness property of jute can be used together to produce hybrid composites with high damping (2.2–2.6%) and elasticity modulus (3–5 GPa).Article Citation - Scopus: 4Investigation of the Motion of a Spherical Object Located at Soft Elastic and Viscoelastic Material Interface for Identification of Material Properties(Academic Enhancement Department, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok, 2024) Körük, Hasan; Pouliopoulos, A.N.Measuring the properties of soft viscoelastic materials is challenging. Here, the motion of a spherical object located at the soft elastic and viscoelastic material interface for the identification of material properties is thoroughly investigated. Formulations for different loading cases were derived. First, the theoretical models for a spherical object located at an elastic medium interface were derived, ignoring the medium viscosity. After summarizing the model for the force reducing to zero following the initial loading, we developed mathematical models for the force reducing to a lower non-zero value or increasing to a higher non-zero value, following the initial loading. Second, a similar derivation process was followed to evaluate the response of a spherical object located at a viscoelastic medium interface. Third, by performing systematic analyses, the theoretical models obtained via different approaches were compared and evaluated. Fourth, the measured and predicted responses of a spherical object located at a gelatin phantom interface were compared and the viscoelastic material properties were identified. It was seen that the frequency of oscillations of a spherical object located at the sample interface during loading was 10–15% different from that during unloading in the experimental studies here. The results showed that different loading cases have immense practical value and the formulations for different loading cases can provide an accurate determination of material properties in a multitude of biomedical and industrial applications. © 2023 King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok.

The sound absorption coefficients (SACs) and transmission losses (TLs) of green luffa fiber samples are thoroughly investigated and their acoustic performances are compared with the acoustic performances of green homogenous jute and hybrid jute/luffa fiber samples in this study. For this purpose, green homogenous luffa and jute fiber samples and their green hybrid fiber samples with different thicknesses (10, 20, 30, and 40 mm) are produced and their SACs and TLs are determined using the impedance tube method. First, the methods for the experimental identification of acoustic properties are presented and the variations in the measured acoustic properties are identified. After that, the effects of sample thickness on the acoustic performances of homogenous luffa as well as jute samples and their hybrid fiber samples as a function of frequency are explored. The thickness-dependent tendencies of the SACs and TLs of homogenous and hybrid luffa and jute fiber samples for low, medium and high frequency ranges are determined. Then, the acoustic performances of the homogenous and hybrid luffa and jute samples are compared and evaluated. The results and analyses for the acoustic properties of homogeneous luffa and jute fiber samples and their hybrid fiber samples for a variety of thicknesses and different frequencies presented here can be used to design homogenous as well as hybrid luffa and jute fiber structures in practical applications.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 24Jute and Luffa Fiber-Reinforced Biocomposites: Effects of Sample Thickness and Fiber/Resin Ratio on Sound Absorption and Transmission Loss Performance(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Şanlıtürk, Kenan Y.; Genç, Garip; Körük, Hasan; Özcan, Ahmet CihanThe acoustic properties of natural fiber-reinforced composites should be identified before using these materials in various engineering applications including sound and vibration isolation.
