Overhead transmission line towers may be subjected to a severe level of earthquake-related forces if the line lies in a seismically active region. However, the traditional practice in the industry generally overlooks the effect of seismic forces on the structural demand in parallel with universally valid design codes claiming that the base shear that emerges on an earthquake would generally be less than wind or wind + ice combined conditions. On the other side, in recent years, a rising number of scientific articles in relation to the possibility of severe consequences of an earthquake on the components of a transmission line (e.g., towers) have been published. Additionally, in late 2019, the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization of the Turkish Republic put a comprehensive earthquake code along with a new seismic map of the country into effect, also covering transmission line towers. Preliminary studies revealed that earthquake-related forces might be critical for specific components of towers, especially in case the line was located close to the fault zones. In this regard, modal analyses of towers have become a must for the industry of transmission line engineering in some countries. In addition, even the most common commercial software packages used in tower analysis and design do not have the option to perform the modal analysis. In order to determine the modal response of towers, the finite element model (FEM) of the tower or whole tower family must be generated or be transferred to an alternative FEM software, which is a cumbersome procedure. At this point, artificial neural networks (ANN) can be a practical solution. In brief, this study aims to construct and train an ANN architecture in order to determine the relationship between the structural parameters related to the mass and stiffness of the tower with first mode frequencies. In this way, required modal response data of the considered tower can be obtained rapidly with a high accuracy rate.

Simulation Based Optimal Sensor Actuator Positioning on a Fin Like Structure Pedremasl, Nıma; Şahin, Melin; Acar, Erdem (2015-06-26) Aircraft structures are subjected to high amplitude dynamic loads under service conditions; hence, it is necessary to determine their dynamic properties. Dynamic properties of a structure can be determined using simulation-based methods (e.g., finite element method) or using experimental modal analysis (EMA) methods. An EMA system should be lightweight and accurate so that it does not have a negative impact on the dynamic performance of the structure. For this purpose, the transducers (sensor and actuators)...
Prediction of input energy spectrum: attenuation models and velocity spectrum scaling Alici, F. S.; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 2016-10-25) Recent improvements in performance-based earthquake engineering require realistic description of seismic demands and accurate estimation of supplied capacities in terms of both forces and deformations. Energy based approaches have a significant advantage in performance assessment because excitation and response durations, accordingly energy absorption and dissipation characteristics, are directly considered whereas force and displacement-based procedures are based only on the maximum response parameters. En...
Optimization of types, numbers and locations of sensors and actuators used in modal analysis of aircraft structures using genetic algorithm Pedramasl, Nima; Şahin, Melin; Acar, Erdem; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017) Aircraft structures are exposed to dynamic loads under service conditions and therefore, it is necessary to determine their dynamic characteristics. Dynamic characteristics of a structure can be determined using simulation-based methods such as finite element analysis (FEA) or test-based methods such as experimental modal analysis (EMA). In order to perform an EMA with reliable and high quality results, test equipment must be lightweight and have high accuracy. In addition, the sensors and actuators must be...
Detailed load rating analyses of bridge populations using nonlinear finite element models and artificial neural networks Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2013-11-01) For assessing load rating capacity of bridges, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Manual (AASHTO) recommends a simple method, where distribution of the forces in transverse direction is estimated by axle-load distribution factors on a simply supported beam. Although the method is practical in the sense that it allows for rapid evaluation of bridge populations, it leads to over-conservative load ratings. A finite element (FE) based load rating analysis is conceived as a more a...
