In this study, experimental modal analysis was studied. Experimental modal analysis includes modal testing, modal parameter estimation and calibration. For this purpose a 4 span skewed steel frame was constructed in Structural Mechanics Laboratory of Civil Engineering Department of METU. The model was transported to Vibration and Acoustic Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering Department of METU. The tests were conducted by cooperation with Vibration and Acoustics Laboratory. Due to lack of experimental modal analysis software in Structural Mechanics Laboratory, modal parameter estimation and finite element updating softwares were written in Matlab platform. The written softwares were executed on the data obtained from modal testing. 15 reasonable modes are extracted from the FRFs that are obtained from modal testing. 59.23 percent consistency is found for the nominal modal comparison. At the end of calibration process 76.14 percent consistency is achieved between the experimental results and analytical results.

Numerical and experimental investigation of damping in a dam-break problem with fluid-structure interaction
Demir, Abdullah; Dincer, Ali Ersin; Bozkuş, Zafer; Tijsseling, Arris S. (Zhejiang University Press, 2019-04-01)
There have been few experimental and numerical studies on damping effects in fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. Therefore, a comprehensive experimental study was conducted to investigate such effects. In experiments, a water column in a container was released and hit a rubber plate. It continued its motion until hitting a downstream wall where pressure transducers had been placed. The experiments were repeated using rubber plates with different thickness and material properties. Free-surface profil...
Optimum design of steel structures via differential evolution algorithm and application programming interface of SAP2000
Dedekargınoğlu, Özgür; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
The objective of this study is to investigate the use and efficiency of Differential Evolution (DE) method on structural optimization. The solution algorithm developed with DE is computerized into software called SOP2011 using VB.NET. SOP2011 is automated to achieve size optimum design of steel structures consisting of 1-D elements such as trusses and frames subjected to design provisions according to ASD-AISC (2010) and LRFD-AISC (2010). SOP2011 works simultaneously with the structural analysis and design ...
Statistical tolerancing using designed experiments in a noisy environment
Köksal, Gülser (Elsevier BV, 2003-03-01)
We consider the method of designed experiments for statistical tolerance analysis, and study the impact of experimental error on its results.-It is observed that presence of random error in the experiment environment (e.g. laboratory) could introduce bias in the moment estimators and increases their-respective variances. We propose adjustments to the method that would reduce the bias as well as the variance of these estimators. A numerical example is presented.
Seismic vulnerability assessment using artificial neural networks
Güler, Altuğ; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
In this study, an alternative seismic vulnerability assessment model is developed. For this purpose, one of the most popular artificial intelligence techniques, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), is used. Many ANN models are generated using 4 different network training functions, 1 to 50 hidden neurons and combination of structural parameters like number of stories, normalized redundancy scores, overhang ratios, soft story indices, normalized total column areas, normalized total wall areas are used to achieve...
Modelling Energy Consumption of the Republic of Serbia using Linear Regression and Artificial Neural Network Technique
Protic, Milan; Fathurrahman, Fahman; Raos, Miomir (Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod, 2019-02-01)
The objectives of the study are twofold. First, we aim to examine the most influential socio-economic indicators to explain energy consumption in Republic of Serbia. The second objective is to develop models that are able to predict the future energy consumption in the Republic of Serbia. This could be the first important step towards proper energy management in the country. Several potential socio-economic indicators are selected to be the independent variables. Regression analysis is conducted to select t...
