Conference Object Optimization of the Flywheel of a Gyrostabilizer by Addressing “fair” Performance Criteria(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2023) Kurt, B.; Bozelli, M.R.; Dede, M.İ.C.Gyrostabilizers are used for producing anti-rolling torque to stabilize the undesired rolling motion of a vessel. There are several gyrostabilizer products with different specifications for the same size ships. This paper investigates this issue and proposes “fair” performance criteria for gyrostabilizers considering the targeted sea state conditions. A case study is carried out using the new performance criteria in a gyrostabilizer optimization process. The results indicate that the optimized design can outperform the commercially available products. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Article Product Design in Monopolistic Competition(Wiley, 2022) Dindaroğlu, BurakWe consider a model of monopolistic competition where producers can manipulate an elasticity parameter at an early stage. We interpret this as a choice of product specialization. Lower marginal costs of production lead to more generic products in all equilibria, which lead to fewer varieties under free-entry. Entry of a new firm increases overall specialization and increases prices, that is, the environment exhibits price-increasing competition. The loss of consumer surplus due to higher prices and lower consumption is compensated by the value of additional variety, hence entry also increases consumer surplus. Therefore, price-increasing competition need not be anticompetitive under endogenous specialization.Article Citation - WoS: 1An Apprenticeship Project: Silversmithing in Kapalicarsi (the Grand Bazaar)(Intellect Ltd., 2019) Tarcan, Berilsu; Cox, Ayça TunçVarious cultural objects, crafts and traditional production techniques from Turkey have been research subjects in the field of design studies in recent years. During this time, definitions of tradition, culture and craft have changed and, therefore, these changes need to be revisited, in particular relating to product design. This study explores these changes through a field study conducted in Istanbul, Turkey, one of the key areas of craft production. Focusing on silversmithing, a traditional craft in Turkey, the study seeks to identify new ways in which craft can be used in and lead to the design of new products. The field study was conducted with students from the Industrial Design Department of Istanbul Bilgi University during their second-year studio course. For the study, they were paired with craftsmen in the Kapalicarsi (the Grand Bazaar) area, one of the most well-known and historic craft neighbourhoods in Istanbul. The aim was to investigate the relationship between traditional craft methods, craft knowledge and contemporary product design, specifically to find out how traditional craft knowledge and methods can be used to inform contemporary product design, and in return, how the craftspeople might benefit from this exchange.
