Damage Detection Models
Damage detection models are used to predict potential issues in materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and CFRP used in the defense industry and in the joining of these materials. Mechanical tests determine joint strength and failure loads, and various microscopic analyses are conducted. These models are implemented numerically in ABAQUS software using the subroutine method.
At TEDU, we are working on researching and developing new damage detection models. In our completed TEDU-BAP project, we investigated the stress wave propagation method in metallic materials with different damage modes. The damage model obtained from various experiments conducted at TEDU as part of the ongoing TÜBİTAK 3501 project is in the process of being published in high-impact journals. Additionally, our team contributes as researchers to two other ongoing projects at TEDU.

Biocompatible Composites and Multiscaled Materials
Biocompatible composites and multiscaled materials are based on multiscale production methods from nano to macro scale, inspired by the hierarchical structures in nature. The goal is to achieve superior mechanical properties by mimicking the structural complexity of natural materials, such as bone.
Projects conducted at the TEDU Multiscaled Composites Laboratory include green composite production, coatings and thin films, atomic force microscopy/lithography, and material properties at decreasing scales. TÜBİTAK and TEDU-BAP projects have been completed. In the TÜBİTAK 3501 project, a bone implant prototype material was developed with a focus on hierarchical composite production, resulting in a patent application and several high-impact journal publications. Completed TEDU-BAP projects focused on green material production methods and nanocomposites. Our laboratory contributes as researchers to two TÜBİTAK projects at TEDU and participates in European Union COST actions.

Human-Robot Interaction
Human-robot interaction is a contemporary technology field involving the development of robotic systems that coexist and work with humans, encompassing disciplines from engineering to psychology, software to neuroscience. In addition to traditional industrial robots, these systems include robots used in surgery and rehabilitation in the health sector, interactive educational simulators, increasingly common cleaning robots, and even autonomous vehicles designed for human interaction.
At TEDU, we conduct academic research on the design of functional robotic systems that can interact safely with humans in education, simulation, and rehabilitation applications. We collaborate with industrial companies focusing on this rapidly growing sector. In recent years, we have been involved in three TÜBİTAK-supported industrial projects and completed a TEDU-BAP research project.
