Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Design Alternatives of Light Shelves Using Altmann Linkage(Solarlits, 2024) Atarer, Fulya; Korkmaz, Koray; Kiper, GokhanThis paper proposes a novel new light shelf design with Altmann linkage using its kinetic principles: geometry and rotational angles. As previous studies explain a light shelf's design in two ways: static and movable, the proposed one in this study has the potential to track the path of the sun due to its diagonal movement. The primary purpose is to direct the light shelf to intermediate directions, such as southeast and southwest, by utilizing the geometric properties of the Altmann linkage. The study explains how to dimension the links, calculate rotation angles, and model this device in Relux to test its daylight performance on specific dates in a year. A total of nine variations were analyzed during the three phases of design. They include shelf forms such as a rectangle, two rectangles, two squares, and varying link lengths, which define the distance to the windowsill. The final set of variations with two-square forms moving west and east successfully satisfied with sDA values as 71.52%, 72.99% (w), 75.92% (e); with ASE values as 8.83%, 8.56% (w), and 8.22% (e). This best design of Altmann linkage would be beneficial as an adaptive fa & ccedil;ade module that can direct daylight inside and achieve proper shading throughout the day and year.

In addition to simple scissor linkages with straight rods, linkages with angulated elements have been introduced in the last decades. In the related literature, two methods have been used to design scissor linkages, one of which is based on scissor elements, and the other is based on assembling loops. This study presents a systematic classification of scissor linkages as assemblies of rhombus, kite, dart, parallelogram and anti-parallelogram loops using frieze patterns and long-short diagonal connections. After the loops are replicated along a curve as a pattern, the linkages are obtained by selection of proper common link sections for adjacent loops. The resulting linkages are analyzed for their motions and they are classified as realizing scaling deployable, angular deployable or transformable motion. Some of the linkages obtained are novel. Totally 10 scalable deployable, 1 angular deployable and 8 transformable scissor linkages are listed. Designers in architecture and engineering can use this list of linkages as a library of scissor linkage topologies.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12A Novel Transformable Structural Mechanism for Doubly Ruled Hypar Surfaces(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2015) Maden, Feray; Aktaş, Engin; Korkmaz, KorayA novel structural mechanism (SM) that is capable of transforming itself into various hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar) geometries is introduced in this paper. Composed of straight bars and novel joint types, the SM is designed based on the ruled surface generation method. Thus, the paper first investigates the geometrical properties and morphology of the hypar surface. Second, it constructs the SM and discusses its transformation capability with respect to its kinematic properties. Then, it presents a parametric model not only to analyze the geometry and possible configurations of the SM but also to prepare a model for the structural analysis. Finally, a transformable shelter structure is proposed as an architectural application of the SM and its feasibility is tested based on the structural analysis conducted in different configurations of the structure. According to the results of the structural analysis, the strength, and the stiffness of the structure are discussed in detail.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Çok Fonksiyonlu Form Değiştirebilir Köprü Tasarımı için İki Serbestlikli Strüktürel Mekanizma Önerisi(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2017) Gür, Şebnem; Yar, Müjde; Korkmaz, KorayHareketli köprüler ilk zamanlar korunma ihtiyacı ile tasarlanmıştır.

Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, 2019) Maden, Feray; Akgün, Yenal; Kiper, Gökhan; Gür, Şebnem; Yar, Müjde; Korkmaz, KorayWhen the existing literature on the research of scissor structures is thoroughly investigated, it is seen that different researchers use different terminologies and classifications especially for the definition of the primary units and the motion type. Some of the studies define the whole geometry based on the geometric properties of the primary scissor units and the unit lines while some other studies define it according to the loops. All these studies use different names for similar elements. This article aims to review the literature on the classification and terminology of scissor structures and represent the state of art on the studies. Tables are represented showing all approaches in the literature. In addition, the article criticizes the missing points of each terminology and definition, and proposes some new terminology. In order to arrive at this aim, different definitions of the primary scissor units and motion types used in key studies in the literature are investigated thoroughly. With several examples, it is demonstrated that naming the scissor units according to the resulting motion type might be misleading and it is better to specify the motion type for the whole structure. A classification for transformation of planar curves is presented.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Design of Anti-Parallelogram Loop Assemblies(Int. Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, 2019) Gür, Şebnem; Korkmaz, Koray; Kiper, GökhanScissor mechanisms are frequently used for deployable structures and many studies have been conducted on the subject. Most of the studies consider scissor units as modules in the design process. An alternative approach is to utilize loops as the modules for design. In this paper, the design alternatives of single degree-of-freedom planar linkages comprising anti-parallelogram loops using the loop assembly method is presented. First, scissor mechanisms are reviewed. Next, the types of four-bar loops and the resulting linkages in the literature are introduced and those which are yet to be explored, anti-parallelogram being one of them, are identified. Then the loop assembly method and the examples in the literature are reviewed. As a method to form as many alternatives as possible, symmetry operations are proposed. Suitable frieze symmetry groups utilized for obtaining the assemblies are explained and the anti-parallelogram loop patterns are derived. Next, the single degree-of-freedom linkages are obtained from the loop assemblies. Finally, a selection of the resulting linkages with novel properties are presented. This study shows that loop assemblies are efficient in systematic type synthesis of scissor linkages, some types of which could not be foreseen by using units as modules.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7A New Approach To the Generation of Retractable Plate Structures Based on One-Uniform Tessellations(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2017) Gazi Gezgin, Aylin; Korkmaz, KorayRetractable plate structure (RPS) is a family of structures that is a set of cover plates connected by revolute joints. There exists wide range of possibilities related with these structures in architecture. Configuring the suitable shape of rigid plates that are able to be enclosed without any gaps or overlaps in both closed and open configurations and eliminating the possibility of contact between the plates during the deployment have been the most important issues in RPS design process. Many researchers have tried to find the most suitable shape by using kinematical or empirical analysis so far. This study presents a novel approach to find the suitable shape of the plates and their assembly order without any kinematical or empirical analysis. This approach is benefited from the one-uniform mathematical tessellation technique that gives the possibilities of tiling a plate using regular polygons without any gaps or overlaps. In the light of this technique, the shape of the plates is determined as regular polygons and two conditions are introduced to form RPS in which regular polygonal plates are connected by only revolute joints. It should be noted that these plates are not allowed to become overlapped during deployment and form gaps in closed configuration. Additionally, this study aims to reach a single degreeof- freedom (DoF) RPS. It presents a systematic method to convert multi-DoF RPS into single DoF RPS by using the similarity between graph theory and the duality of tessellation.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 9The Effect of Architectural Form on the Earthquake Behavior of Symmetric Rc Frame Systems(Techno Press, 2014) İnan, Tuğba; Korkmaz, Koray; Çağatay, İsmail HakkıIn this study, structural irregularities in plan, which has a considerable effect on earthquake behavior of buildings, have been investigated in detail based on Turkish Earthquake Code 2007. The study consists of six main parametric models and a total of 144 sub-models that are grouped based on RC structural systems such as frame, frame + rigid core, frame with shear wall, and frame with shear wall + rigid core. All models are designed to have both symmetrical plan geometry and regular rigidity distribution. Changes in the earthquake behavior of buildings were evaluated according to the number of storeys, number of axes and the configuration of structural elements. Many findings are obtained and assessed as a result of the analysis for each structural irregularity. The study shows that structural irregularities can be observed in completely symmetric buildings in terms of plan geometry and rigidity distribution.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11An Investigation on Plan Geometries of Rc Buildings: With or Without Projections in Plan(Techno Press, 2012) İnan, Tuğba; Korkmaz, Koray; Çağatay, İsmail HakkıThe interaction of plan geometry and structural configuration, a determinative factor in the earthquake behavior of buildings, has become a serious issue in the building industry in Turkey due to the poor seismic performance of R/C buildings during the latest earthquake. Consequently, designing new buildings without structural irregularities against earthquake loads is proving to be more significant. This study focuses on the effects of plan geometries on earthquake performances of buildings. In that respect, structural irregularities in the plan are investigated in detail based on the Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC 2007). The study is based on five main parametric models and a total of 40 sub-models that are grouped according to their plan geometries with excessive projections such as L-shaped, H-shaped, T-shaped and U-shaped models. In addition to these, a square model without any projections is also generated. All models are designed to have the same storey gross area but with different number of storeys. Changes in the earthquake behavior of buildings were evaluated according to the number of storeys, the projection ratios and the symmetry conditions of each model. The analysis of each structural irregularity resulted in many findings, which were then assessed. The study demonstrates that the square model delivers the best earthquake performance owing to its regular plan geometry.Article Citation - Scopus: 11A Novel Planar Scissor Structure Transforming Between Concave and Convex Configurations(WITPress, 2017) Yar, Müjde; Korkmaz, Koray; Kiper, Gökhan; Maden, Feray; Akgün, Yenal; Aktaş, EnginIn this paper, a novel two-dimensional scissor structure that transforms between concave and convex configurations is presented.
