A materially non-linear layered beam super element is developed for the analysis of RC beams and columns strengthened by externally bonded steel/FRP plates. The elasto-plastic behavior of RC member is incorporated by its internally generated or externally supplied moment-curvature diagram. The steel plate is assumed to be elasto-plastic and the FRP laminate is assumed to behave linearly elastic up to rupture. The thin epoxy layer between the RC member and the externally bonded lamina is simulated by a special interface element which allows for the changing failure modes from steel plate yielding/FRP plate rupture to separation of the bonded plates as a result of bond failure in the epoxy layer. An empirical failure criterion based on test results is used for the epoxy material of the interface. The most critical aspect of such applications in real life frame structures is the anchorage conditions at the member ends and junctions. This has direct influence on the success and the effectiveness of the application. Therefore, a special corner piece anchorage element is also considered in the formulation of the joint super element, which establishes the fixity and continuity conditions at the member ends and the joints.

A 2D Slotted Rod Type PhC Cavity Inertial Sensor Design for Impact Sensing
Orsel, Ogulcan Emre; ERDİL, MERTCAN; Kocaman, Serdar (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-02-01)
A tunable 2D rod type Si Photonic Crystal cavity based impact sensing configuration is proposed and numerically analyzed. The cavity is sandwiched by perfect electric conductor (PEC) boundaries in order to provide out-of-plane light confinement. An on-purpose air slot is introduced between the Si rods and top PEC plate moving the light confinement into the slotted region and making the cavity highly responsive to the displacement of top PEC boundary. Optomechanical coupling strength is calculated to be on t...
A three component force transducer for reinforced concrete structural testing
Canbay, Erdem; Tankut, T (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-01)
The design, manufacture and calibration of two special force transducers, capable of measuring the axial force, shear, and bending moment at the base of a structural column are presented. The special force transducers were fabricated to measure the reactions at the base of the exterior columns of a reinforced concrete three-bay, two-story test specimen. The force transducers had the following capacities: 35 kN for axial load, 4 kN for shear, and 3 kN in for bending moment. These values include a safety fact...
A Modular Superconducting Generator for Offshore Wind Turbines
Keysan, Ozan; Mueller, Markus A (2013-05-01)
In this study, a new claw-pole type transverse flux superconducting generator topology is presented. The machine has a stationary superconducting field winding, which eliminates electrical brushes and cryocouplers. The machine is specifically designed for low-speed high torque applications such as large offshore wind turbines. The proposed machine is robust and has a modular structure.
A dual modality system for high resolution-true conductivity imaging
Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; İder, Yusuf Ziya (2001-06-01)
In this study, a dual modality imaging system which utilises the magnetic flux density measurements, acquired using Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MRCDI) techniques, and the surface potential measurements, obtained from conventional Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) techniques, to reconstruct high resolution absolute conductivity images. An iterative algorithm is developed to minimise the difference between the current densities calculated based on the potential and the magnetic field measu...
A PARYLENE BONDING BASED FABRICATION METHOD FOR GRAVIMETRIC RESONANT BASED MASS SENSORS
Gokce, Furkan; Aydın, Eren; Kangül, Mustafa; Toral, Taylan B.; Zorlu, Ozge; Sardan-Sukas, Ozlem; Külah, Haluk (2017-06-22)
In this study, a fabrication method utilizing parylene bonding for gravimetric resonant based mass sensors is presented. First, parylene bonding was experimentally tested and compared with the literature. Average shear strength was measured as 16.3 MPa (sigma=3MPa). Then, resonators located on top of a microchannel for real-time detection were fabricated using the presented method. Simulations and experiments verify proper operation of the fabricated resonators, and the applicability of the method for fabri...
