Uğurcan Eroğlu

Uğurcan Eroğlu serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ Ayazağa Kampüsü, 34000 Istanbul). His research focuses on structural mechanics with emphasis on vibration analysis, damage identification techniques, and nano-structure mechanics. He maintains active collaborations with international researchers including G. Ruta, E. Tüfekci, and A. Pau.

His research interests encompass Structural Engineering, Vibration Analysis, Damage Identification, Nano-mechanics, Functionally Graded Materials, and Curved Beam Theory. Eroğlu develops advanced mathematical models using perturbation methods and non-local elasticity theories to solve complex structural problems. His work bridges theoretical mechanics with practical applications in structural health monitoring, particularly through modal curvature analysis and acoustic beamforming techniques for damage detection in arch structures and nano-beams.

Analysis of his recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a consistent trend toward developing closed-form solutions for vibration problems in non-local structures. His research demonstrates increasing focus on nano-mechanics applications and damage detection methodologies, with notable contributions in parabolic arch analysis and beamforming techniques. The publications show interdisciplinary connections between structural mechanics, materials science, and signal processing.

Dr. Eroğlu has secured two research projects as Principal Investigator: Hüzme Oluşturma Yöntemlerinin Yapısal Mekanikte Hasar Tespiti Problemlerinde Kullanılması (Beamforming Methods for Damage Detection in Structural Mechanics, 2023-2024, completed) and Reçine Baskı Yöntemi ile Parça Analizi (Resin Printing Method for Part Analysis, 2025, active). His scholarly impact is evidenced by an h-index of 10 and 287 citations across 25 research outputs from 2015-2025.
