Nonlinear reduced order modeling of bolted joints
Karapıstık, Gökhan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Most of the structural systems assembled by using bolted joints. Therefore, bolted joint models have a critical importance to estimate the behavior of the overall assembled system. There are several linear bolted joint models, which consist of spring and dashpot elements in literature. While they can estimate the resonant frequency of the overall system with a sufficient accuracy, linear bolted joint models are inadequate for approximating the damping, which arises from the friction in the contact interface...
Analytical Evaluation of the Cyclic Response of Reinforced Concrete Beam-to-Column Connections
Burak Bakır, Burcu (2012-09-24)
The shear distortions that beam-to-column connections undergo under earthquake loading have a major contribution to the story drift of a structure. However, the connection regions are generally modeled as rigid zones and the inelastic behavior of the joint is not considered in the dynamic analysis. Therefore, the story drifts are underestimated and the seismic performance of a building cannot be assessed properly. In this study, a model that predicts the joint shear strength versus strain relationship is de...
Comparison of rotor inflow models for flight simulation fidelity
Güner, Feyyaz; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016)
In real-time rotorcraft simulations, there are various dynamic inflow models to chose from. Although dynamic inflow models are well documented in literature, a comparisons of them are not commonly available. In this thesis, dynamic inflow models commonly used in flight simulators are, namely uniform inflow, extesion of uniform inflow with Payne’s coefficients, Pitt-Peters inflow and Peters-He inflow model with higher harmonics, integrated to a well-known blade element model. A theoretical background for dyn...
3D linear identification of mechanical joint using FRF decoupling and inverse structural modification methods
Soleimani, Hossein; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2021-01-01)
Mechanical connections such as bolts and rivets are inevitable in most engineering structures and may significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the structures. Therefore, modeling a joint simply and accurately is essential for assembled structures. On the other hand, the most important step is the determination of these joint model parameters which will be used in the calculation of dynamic response of assembled structures. For this purpose, in this paper, FRF Decoupling Method (FRF-DM), proposed in an e...
Nonlinear vibration analysis of rotors supported by ball bearings
Bahan, Doğancan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Performance of ball bearing-rotor systems is highly dependent on and often limited by characteristics of ball bearings. Ball bearings are nonlinear by their nature and this nonlinearity must be investigated rigorously to correctly predict vibration response of the system. The steady-state periodic response of rotor systems with nonlinear ball bearings is investigated. The rotor is modeled with the Finite Element Method. Nonlinear model for the bearings considers finite number of balls, bearing clearance and...
