A two-phase research program was undertaken numerically to assess the behavior of the beam outside of the link that is designed for overstrength of the link in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). In the first phase, software was developed to conduct a statistical analysis of the typical cases designed according to the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings. In this analysis, it was noticed that most of the statistically analyzed cases do not satisfy the code requirement provided for overstrength factor. Furthermore, the analyses results revealed that troublesome designs are highly influenced by normalized link length and slenderness of the beam. In this phase, redistribution of forces between beam and brace after the yielding of beam was also studied and it was observed that the forces not carried by the yielded beam are taken by the brace. In second phase, a total of 91 problematic designs were analyzed on finite element program to investigate the effective parameters on the overstrength issue, and overall and local stability of the beam outside of the links. According to analysis results, it was observed that unbraced beam length and flange slenderness are responsible for the stability of the system. Based on these results, the boundary values were suggested to prevent lateral torsional buckling of the beam and local buckling of the brace connection panel separately. Moreover, the overstrength factor specified by code was found conservative for the intermediate and long links although it is fit for the short links.

Short wave infrared camera design and focal plane analysis
Bolat Beldek, Tuğba; Esendemir, Akif; Department of Physics (2012)
The subject of this study is the design of a camera, which has maximum volume of 50 mm x 50 mm x 300 mm, using short infrared wavelength providing Rayleigh criteria. Firstly, the required flux per pixel has been calculated. Throughout these calculations, atmospheric losses have been obtained by MODTRAN program. Also signal to noise ratio has been examined at minimum and maximum integration time intervals. The focal length of the camera has been calculated as it receives 1 m resolution from 8 km distance. Mo...
Design and construction of a six degree of freedom platform
Gürbüz, Sarper; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
In this thesis a six degree of freedom (DOF) parallel manipulator is designed, developed and simulated virtually. The platform, which is specified and focused on in this thesis, is the specific solution for the generating the required data to simulate a land, airborne or sea vehicle’s motion trajectory in the laboratory environment. After explaining the need for such platforms for the military industry, the existing devices will be presented and discussed. Then the design period will be explained while poin...
A new method for automated estimation of joint roughness coefficient for 2D surface profiles using power spectral density
Unlusoy, Deniz; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
In this study, a new method for the objective and accurate estimation of the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) of surface profiles, which are extracted from terrestrial laser scanner point clouds, is proposed. The requirements of objectivity, accuracy, reliability, and suitability for automatic analysis have been the basic criteria in assessing the performance of the procedure for JRC estimation. The procedure to estimate the JRC value of a sample profile is based on a similarity measure, between the third-...
A study on heat transfer inside the wellbore during drilling operations
Apak, Esat Can; Özbayoğlu, Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2006)
Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature in a circulating well is the main objective of this study. Initially, an analytical temperature distribution model, which utilizes basic energy conservation principle, is presented for this purpose. A computer program is written in order to easily implement this model to different cases. Variables that have significant effect on temperature profile are observed. Since the verification of the analytical model is not probable for many cases, a computer program (ANSYS...
A short cut numerical method for determination of periods of free oscillations for basins with irregular geometry and bathymetry
Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-01)
A short cut numerical method for evaluation of the modes of free oscillations of the basins which have irregular geometry and bathymetry is presented in this paper. In the method, a single wave is inputted to the basin as an initial impulse. The respective agitation in the basin is computed by using the numerical method solving the nonlinear form of long wave equations. The time histories of water surface fluctuations at different locations due to propagation of the waves in relation to the initial impulse ...
