A method based on the equivalency of strain energy density is proposed for finding the elastic parameters of non-uniformly distributed lattice models in 2D with a Poisson’s ratio of 1/3. Lattice members are assumed to carry only normal force. Hence, the elasticity modulus times the area is the only defining parameter for each lattice member. The method is implemented in MATLAB and it is tested with regularly structured lattices whose solutions can be calculated exactly. A “User-Friendly Lattice Model Program with Graphical User Interface” is developed in MATLAB within the context of this study. The program can deal with complex geometries in 2D. Many examples with different levels of complexity and boundary conditions are solved using the developed program, and solutions are compared with the equivalent finite element solutions. The developed framework is expected to form the foundation for nonlinear analysis of concrete structures as it does not suffer from compression locking reported for structured lattice approaches in earlier studies.

Numerical Aspects of POD-Based Reduced-Order Modeling forDarcy-Brinkman Equations Güler Eroğlu, Fatma; Kaya Merdan, Songül (2018-10-21) We propose, analyze and test a reduced order modelling with proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method for the modeling to flows governed by double diffusive convection, which models flow driven by two potentials with different rates of diffusion. We present a theoretical analysis of the method and give results for various numerical tests on benchmark problems that will demonstrate both the theory and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Analytical Solutions To Elastic Functionally Graded Cylindrical And Spherical Pressure Vessels Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2015-10-01) Analytical solutions to earlier models by Chen and Lin [1] concerning elastic analysis of functionally graded cylindrical and spherical pressure vessels are obtained and presented.
EXACT SPIN AND PSEUDO-SPIN SYMMETRIC SOLUTIONS OF THE DIRAC-KRATZER PROBLEM WITH A TENSOR POTENTIAL VIA LAPLACE TRANSFORM APPROACH Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (2012-09-28) Exact bound state solutions of the Dirac equation for the Kratzer potential in the presence of a tensor potential are studied by using the Laplace transform approach for the cases of spin- and pseudo-spin symmetry. The energy spectrum is obtained in the closed form for the relativistic as well as non-relativistic cases including the Coulomb potential. It is seen that our analytical results are in agreement with the ones given in the literature. The numerical results are also given in a table for different p...
Analysis of perfectly matched double negative layers via complex coordinate transformations Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2006-12-01) Complex coordinate transformations are introduced for the analysis of time-harmonic electromagnetic wave propagation in perfectly matched double negative layers. The layer is perfectly matched to free space in the sense that any incident plane wave is transmitted through the free space-material interface without reflection, irrespective of the frequency and angle of incidence of the plane wave. The material constitutive parameters are obtained by mapping spatial coordinates into a manifold in complex space....
MUTUAL COUPLING EFFECTS OF FINITE RECTANGULAR PHASED-ARRAYS YAVUZ, H; BUYUKDURA, OM (1994-04-14) A rigorous integral equation formulation for the analysis of a phased array of flangemounted waveguide apertures is given for a finite number of elements and nonuniform spacings. The resulting set of ihtegrd equations is reduced to a matrix equation called the coupling matrix which relates the coefficients of all the modes in all the waveguides to one another. The solution then yields the dominant mode reflection coefficient, coefficients of scattered modes and hence the field in each waveguide. The blockTo...
