An approximation method for design applications related to sway in RC framed buildings
TEKELİ, Hamide; Atimtay, E.; TÜRKMEN, Mustafa (2015-09-01)
In this paper, an approximate method is proposed for determining sway of multistory RC buildings subjected to various types of lateral loads. The calculation of both fundamental period and stability index in RC building requires the sway term at each story level. Using approximate method design engineers can estimate sway terms at each story level. The developed analytical expressions are inserted into fundamental period and stability index equations to replace the sway terms, which yields modified equation...
An Integral-Equation-Based Method for Efficient and Accurate Solutions of Scattering Problems with Highly Nonuniform Discretizations
Khalichi, Bahram; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Erturk, Vakur B. (2021-01-01)
© 2021 IEEE.We present a full-wave electromagnetic solver for analyzing multiscale scattering problems with highly nonuniform discretizations. The developed solver employs an elegant combination of potential integral equations (PIEs) with the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) to improve the iterative convergence properties of matrix equations obtained via method of moments, especially derived from highly nonuniform discretizations for which PIEs suffer from ill conditioning. A mixed-form multilevel fa...

An approximate model for performance measurement in base-stock controlled assembly systems
Rodoplu, Umut; Avşar, Zeynep Müge; Department of Industrial Engineering (2004)
The aim of this thesis is to develop a tractable method for approximating the steady-state behavior of continuous-review base-stock controlled assembly systems with Poisson demand arrivals and manufacturing and assembly facilities modeled as Jackson networks. One class of systems studied is to produce a single type of finished product assembling a number of components and another class is to produce two types of finished products allowing component commonality. The performance measures evaluated are the exp...
An Approximate method to calculate the stiffness of shallow foundations subjected to eccentric loads
Durucan, Ayşe Ruşen; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tolga; Department of Engineering Sciences (2016)
A computationally simple method to calculate the static response of arbitrarily shaped shallow foundations subjected to eccentric loading is proposed. A theoretical relationship to estimate the area beneath the foundation that is contact with the load bearing support is developed. This relationship yielded an equation to calculate rocking angle of an arbitrarily shaped foundation under any load eccentricity. Consequently, a simple theoretical model capable of simulating the effects of material and geometric...
