PC panel strengthening technique was developed in M.E.T.U. Structural Mechanics Laboratory in order to respond the need of practical and efficient pre-quake seismic strengthening procedures applicable to RC framed structures. The idea behind the method is simply to convert the non-structural infills into load bearing structural elements by gluing PC panels over the existing infill wall surface. The remarkable advantages of the procedure is not only the considerable amount of seismic performance improvement but also the simplicity of application, very low levels of disturbance to the occupants and most importantly, the applicability during service. A number of PC panel application parameters were experimentally investigated by previous researchers. The success of PC panel method on seismic performance improvement of RC frames with different aspect ratios was experimentally investigated in the present study. Total of fifteen, 1:3 scaled, one-bay, two-storey RC frames were tested in three various aspect ratio series. Constant axial load was applied to the columns and reversed cyclic load was applied in the lateral direction. Hollow brick v infilled frame and cast-in-place RC infilled frame were the lower and upper bound reference specimens, respectively. Seismic performance indicators such as response envelope curves, lateral load carrying capacities, cumulative energy dissipations, initial stiffness indicators and ductility values clearly showed the effectiveness of PC panel application over different geometry of RC frames of concern. Moreover, PC panel application either with rectangular or with strip shaped PC panels provided seismic performance improvement to be almost equal to that of cast-in-place RC infill application for all series. Equivalent diagonal strut concept was followed in analytical studies to simulate the infills of RC frame openings. The required strut material properties were estimated from total of eighteen individual wall panel tests. The bond-slip effect, due to utilization low strength of concrete and plain rebars, was also investigated and introduced to the analytical frame models. Non-linear push over analysis was performed for all specimens in OpenSees computer software. The analytical results were compared with that of experimental response envelopes.

Effects of sensitivity analysis on turbomachinery blade design
Kocabiçak, E.; Eyi, Sinan (2000-12-01)
The effects of sensitivity analysis on the performance of turbomachinery blade design were evaluated. Sensitivities were obtained by both analytical and finite-difference approach. A sensitivity code was developed to analytically obtain sensitivities using the material derivative concept of continuum mechanics. Several design optimizations were performed to evaluate the merits of the analytical approach in comparison with the finitedifference approach. The results show that the analytical approach provides ...
Beam Switching Reflectarray with MEMS Controls
Bayraktar, Omer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Akın, Tayfun (2010-04-16)
This paper presents a 26.5 GHz beam switching reflectarray monolithically fabricated on glass substrate with the RF MEMS switches. The array is formed using 10x10 aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMPA) elements. RF MEMS switches are implemented on the transmission lines in order to sustain the beam switching. A prototype of a reflectarray with 90 RF MEMS switches is monolithically produced using an in-house surface micromachining process including the wafer bonding steps. The measurement result s...
Effects of sensitivity derivatives on aerodynamic design optimization
Eyi, Sinan (Informa UK Limited, 2007-10-01)
The effects of sensitivity derivatives on the performance of aerodynamic design optimization were evaluated. Sensitivity derivatives were obtained by both analytical and finite-difference approaches. A sensitivity code was developed to analytically obtain sensitivity derivatives for the two-dimensional Euler equations using the material derivative concept of continuum mechanics. Several inverse design optimizations were performed to evaluate the merits of the analytical approach in comparison with the finit...
Effect of lattice structures on natural frequency of SLA fabricated parts
Kayiran, Ali Murat; Yaman, Ulaş (2019-01-01)
Modifying the interior structure of the artifacts improves not only the strength of the parts but also the dynamic responses of them which can be tuned according to the resonance frequencies of the mounting platforms. Additive Manufacturing (AM) approaches are the finest solutions for the fabrications of these parts with structured interiors. In this study, the main aim is to analyse the effect of improved lattice structures on the natural frequencies of the parts optimized for compliance. The effects of co...
Effects of surface reflectance on local second order shape estimation in dynamic scenes.
Dövencioğlu, Nahide Dicle; Ben-Shahar, O; Doerschner, K (2015-10-01)
In dynamic scenes, relative motion between the object, the observer, and/or the environment projects as dynamic visual information onto the retina (optic flow) that facilitates 3D shape perception. When the object is diffusely reflective, e.g. a matte painted surface, this optic flow is directly linked to object shape, a property found at the foundations of most traditional shape-from-motion (SfM) schemes. When the object is specular, the corresponding specular flow is related to shape curvature, a regime c...
