In this thesis, a two node nonlinear elastic-plastic beam finite element is developed to analyze large deformations. The system of equations are derived from virtual work principle, and the updated Lagrangian formulation is used. Material is assumed to be isotropic and rate insensitive obeying J2-flow rule. Work hardening characteristics of material is considered and all nonlinear terms are included. For the two node iso-parametric beam element a layered model is used to analyze through-the-thickness distribution of elastic and plastic zones. A finite element program is developed and the numerical outcomes are compared with the experimental results. A good agreement is achieved between numerical and experimental results.

An accurate nonlinear 3d Timoshenko beam element based on Hu-Washizu functional Soydas, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-01) An accurate 3d mixed beam element that is efficient especially in nonlinear analysis is presented in this paper. The mathematical theory is based on Hu-Washizu principle that uses three-fields in the variational form. The composition of the variational form ensures independent selection of displacement, stress and strain fields. Timoshenko beam theory is extended to three dimensions for deriving strains from displacement field. Numerical integration of stress strain relations along control sections is carri...
An efficient filtering structure for Lagrange interpolation Candan, Çağatay (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-01-01) A novel filtering structure with linear complexity is proposed for Lagrange interpolation. The structure is similar to the Farrow structure in principle, but it is more efficient and has the additional feature of being order updatable on-the-fly. The main application for the proposed structure is the implementation of fractional delay filters to mitigate the symbol synchronization errors in digital communications. Some other applications are time-delay estimation, echo cancellation, acoustic modeling, and a...
An adaptive fully discontinuous Galerkin level set method for incompressible multiphase flows KARAKUS, Ali; WARBURTON, Tim; AKSEL, MEHMET HALUK; Sert, Cüneyt (Emerald, 2018-01-01) Purpose This study aims to focus on the development of a high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution of unsteady, incompressible, multiphase flows with level set interface formulation.
The DRBEM solution of incompressible MHD flow equations Bozkaya, Nuray; Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 2011-12-10) This paper presents a dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) formulation coupled with an implicit backward difference time integration scheme for the solution of the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow equations. The governing equations are the coupled system of Navier-Stokes equations and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetics through Ohm's law. We are concerned with a stream function-vorticity-magnetic induction-current density formulation of the full MHD equations in 2D. The stream f...
A 2-0 navier-stokes solution method with overset moving grids Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (1996-01-01) A simple, robust numerical algorithm to localize moving boundary points and to interpolate uniteady solution variables across 2-D, arbitrarily overset computational grids is presented. Overset grids are allowed to move in time relative to each other. The intergrid boundary points are localized in terms of three grid points on the donor grid by a directional search algorithm. The parameters of the search algorithm give the interpolation weights at the localized boundary point. The method is independent of nu...
