Yayın Pros and cons of using building information modeling in the AEC industry(ASCE-AMER Soc Civil Engineers, 2019-08-01) Seyis Kazazoğlu, SenemAlthough a plethora of studies on building information modeling (BIM) have been conducted in the last decade, none of the previous studies collate and/or prioritize the benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM based on the data collected from a comprehensive literature review and subject matter experts (SMEs). In order to allow architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals and academics see the true potential of BIM in a wider context and help them understand its multiorganizational and multidisciplinary functions, there is an obvious necessity for identifying, classifying, and prioritizing the pros and cons of BIM; however, such a study is still currently absent in the AEC literature. The aim of this study is to identify, classify, and rank the pros and cons of BIM that address the benefits, challenges, and risks of BIM in the transition from computer-aided design (CAD). A literature review was performed and face-to-face semistructured interviews with SMEs on BIM were conducted for identification and classification purposes. A total of 41 types of benefits, 11 types of risks, and 13 types of challenges of BIM were identified via triangulation of literature review and face-to-face semistructured interviews with SMEs. The Delphi method was performed for prioritizing the benefits of BIM in terms of time, cost, and sustainability as well as the risks and challenges of BIM encountered in the transition process from CAD to BIM. The interrater agreement and significance-level statistics were performed to analyze and validate the consensus reached by the Delphi panel experts. This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge on BIM by providing comprehensive identification and classification of the benefits, challenges, and risks of BIM, and prioritization of the benefits for BIM in terms of time, cost, and sustainability as well as the risks and challenges of BIM. The priority rankings of benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM ensure successful completion of projects and create additional value by allowing professionals to make well-informed decisions that support decreasing time and cost-related waste in the transition process from CAD to BIM.Yayın A proposal for a computational design and ecology based approach to architectural design studio(Springer, 2022-03) Karadağ, Derya; Tüker, ÇetinUsing computational design methods, this study aims to analyze the effects of an integrated design process model on the ecological awareness of architectural students, and on their ability to incorporate ecological issues in their design work. To this end, two studies have been carried out. The first one involves a survey about how ecology-related and computational design courses complement the architectural design studio at different universities in Turkey. The second one, which is the main study of this paper, presents the results of an ecology-based computational design workshop. According to the results of the first study, computer-based design courses in Turkey usually lack the dimension of “computational thinking”, focusing only on computer-aided design tools. Moreover, we have also found out that ecology courses in Turkish architectural education are mostly elective, and hence, have only very indirect connection to the architectural design studio. In the second study, we have demonstrated how incorporating computational thinking into the design process increase students’ awareness of the ecological dimension and their ability to make this dimension an integral part of their projects. The paper concludes by elaborating on the importance of computational methods in architectural education.Yayın A numerical real frequency broadband matching technique based on parametric representation of scattering parameters(IEEE, 1998-11-24) Aksen, Ahmet; Çimen, Ebru Gürsu; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this study, a computer, aided broadband matching technique based on the parametric representation of scattering parameters is proposed. The new technique combines the advantageous of the so called parametric approach utilizing the impedance formalizm and the real frequency scattering technique. With the reformulation of these real frequency techniques, some laborous numerical computational steps are omitted. The descriptive network functions are obtained in an explicit form without any need to the polynomial factorizations and the solution of equation sets. The application of the technique and the comparision of the results with those of the other real frequency approaches is discussed on examples.Yayın Immitance data modelling via linear interpolation techniques: a classical circuit theory approach(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-11) Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Kılınç, Ali; Aksen, AhmetWith the advancement of the manufacturing technologies to produce new generation analog/digital communication systems, immitance data modelling has gained renewed importance in the literature. Specifically, models are utilized for behaviour characterization, simulation of physical devices or to design sub-systems with active and passive solid-state devices. Therefore, in this paper, new computer aided tools are presented to model one port immitance data by means of linear interpolation techniques. The basic philosophy of the new modelling tools is based on the numerical decomposition of the immitance data into its minimum and Foster parts. Computer algorithms are presented to model the minimum and the Foster parts of the given immitance data. Implementations of these algorithms are exhibited by means of examples. Depending on the application, modelling tools based on linear interpolation techniques may present 'computational and practical' advantages over the existing interpolation techniques, non-linear curve fittings or regression methods. It is expected that the new modelling tools will be utilized to provide initial circuit topologies to the commercially available analysis/simulation and design packages.Yayın A computer-aided design technique for lossless matching networks with mixed, lumped and distributed elements(Elsevier GMBH, 2004) Sertbaş, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaA computer-aided method for the design of lossless broadband matching networks with lumped elements and commensurate transmission lines is presented. ne method is based on combining the simplifield real frequency technique with the algebraic network decomposition by Fettweis. To show the application of the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) approach, an UHF antenna matching problem is solved.Yayın Coherent array imaging using phased subarrays. Part II: Simulations and experimental results(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2005-01) Johnson, Jeremy A.; Oralkan, Ömer; Ergün, Arif Sanlı; Demirci, Utkan; Karaman, Mustafa; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus ThomasThe basic principles and theory of phased subarray (PSA) imaging imaging provides the flexibility of reducing I he number of front-end hardware channels between that of classical synthetic aperture (CSA) imaging-which uses only one element per firing event-and full-phased array (FPA,) imaging-which uses all elements for each firing. The performance of PSA generally ranges between that obtained by CSA and FPA using the same array, and depends on the amount of hardware complexity reduction. For the work described in this paper, we performed FPA, CSA, and PSA imaging of a resolution phantom using both simulated and experimental data from a 3-MHz, 3.2-cm, 128-element capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer (CMUT) array. The simulated system point responses in the spatial and frequency domains are presented as a means of studying the effects of signal bandwidth, reconstruction filter size, and subsampling rate on the PSA system performance. The PSA and FPA sector-scanned images were reconstructed using the wideband experimental data with 80% fractional bandwidth, with seven 32-element subarrays used for PSA imaging. The measurements on the experimental sector images indicate that, at the transmit focal zone, the PSA method provides a 10% improvement in the 6-dB lateral resolution, and the axial point resolution of PSA imaging is identical to that of FPA imaging. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of PSA image was 58.3 dB, 4.9 dB below that of the FPA image, and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) is reduced by 10%. The simulated and experimental test results presented in this paper validate theoretical expectations and illustrate the flexibility of PSA imaging as a way to exchange SNR and frame rate for simplified front-end hardware.Yayın A computer aided design technique for hybrid and monolithic microwave amplifiers employing distributed equalizers with lumped discontinuities(IEEE, 2001) Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaThis paper will addres the use of mixed lumped and distributed elements in the matching equalizers of microwave amplifers for hybrid and monolithic MIC realizations. In this work we show how the computer aided real frequency technique can be extended to design broadband amplifiers employing distributed equalizers with lumped discontinuities. The scattering based two-variable description of lossless equalizers with mixed lumped-distributed elements will be discussed and the potential benefits of the approach will be indicated by examples.Yayın A parametric approach to describe distributed two-ports with lumped discontinuities for the design of broadband MMIC's(IEEE, 2003) Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaThis paper addreses the use of mixed lumped and distributed elements in the matching equalizers of broadband microwave communication subsytems in MMIC realizations. Construction of two-variable scattering functions for lossless equalizers with mixed lumped-distributed elements is discussed. For the computer aided design and the simulation of lossless distributed two-ports with lumped discontinuity models, a parametric real frequency matching technique is presented. It is expected that the proposed tool will find practical applications for accurate representation of MMIC layouts. A matching network design example is included to systematically exhibit the implementation of the proposed approach.
