Due to the complexity in the development of highly nonlinear models, engineers tend to use more practical ones such as smoothed or sharp bilinear models. It has been shown that differences in hysteresis characteristics may lead to variance in performance parameters, resulting in possible overdesign or underdesign. In this study, to assess the effect of the modelling approach on seismic performance, high damping rubber bearing was designed and evaluated in terms of structural performance for a selected hospital building. Commonly used bilinear and highly nonlinear isolator hysteresis models from the literature were adopted, and structural models were created for 2475 years return period earthquake level. Three-dimensional nonlinear time history analyses were conducted on the 10-story building model under a set of 11 ground motions. For each model, structural performance is evaluated and compared in terms of maximum isolator displacements, base shear reactions, story accelerations, and inter-story drifts. The results show that when bilinear models are used instead of more accurate nonlinear models, there is significant variation in the superstructural response, especially for sharply bilinear models for the considered building.

A Modified Inverse Eigensensitivity Method for Large Finite Element Models Unlu, Dogus; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgen, Gökhan Osman (2016-01-28) Finite element models should represent the dynamic behavior of real structures accurately to be subsequently used in design purposes. Therefore, finite element model updating methods have been developed in order to decrease the difference between analytical model and modal test results. In this paper, inverse eigensensitivity method as a sensitivity-based model updating method is summarized. Inverse eigensensitivity method with improved sensitivity computation which decreases the total calculation time of t...
A comparative study on polygonal mesh simplification algorithms Yirci, Murat; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Polygonal meshes are a common way of representing 3D surface models in many different areas of computer graphics and geometry processing. However, these models are becoming more and more complex which increases the cost of processing these models. In order to reduce this cost, mesh simplification algorithms are developed. Another important property of a polygonal mesh model is that whether it is regular or not. Regular meshes have many advantages over the irregular ones in terms of memory requirements, effi...
A non-linear mathematical model for dynamic analysis of spur gears including shaft and bearing dynamics Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 1991-3) A six-degree-of-freedom non-linear semi-definite model with time varying mesh stiffness has been developed for the dynamic analysis of spur gears. The model includes a spur gear pair, two shafts, two inertias representing load and prime mover, and bearings. As the shaft and bearing dynamics have also been considered in the model, the effect of lateral-torsional vibration coupling on the dynamics of gears can be studied. In the non-linear model developed several factors such as time varying mesh stiffness an...
A comparative study on hyperelastic constitutive models on rubber: State of the art after 2006 Dal, Hüsnü; Acikgoz, K.; Denli, F. A. (2019-01-01) The micromechanically based network models are known to be superior over the purely phenomenological models in the analysis of unfilled rubber. However, various factors play a crucial role in the selection of the appropriate constitutive model for the analysis of technical rubbers. These are; ( i) the number of available experiments under various loading conditions, (ii) maximum stretch level expected in the critical loading scenarios of the rubber component, and (iii) percentage of fillers and additives th...
A New Design Approach for Rapid Evaluation of Structural Modifications Using Neural Networks Demirkan, O.; Olceroglu, E.; BAŞDOĞAN, FATMA İPEK; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2013-02-01) Design optimization of structural systems is often iterative, time consuming and is limited by the knowledge of the designer. For that reason, a rapid design optimization scheme is desirable to avoid such problems. This paper presents and integrates two design methodologies for efficient conceptual design of structural systems involving computationally intensive analysis. The first design methodology used in this paper is structural modification technique (SMT). The SMT utilizes the frequency response funct...
