The objective of this thesis is to predict lining thickness inside circular mine shafts. A numerical study with different rock mass strengths and different in-situ non-hydrostatic stresses are carried out in 2D shaft section models to predict pressures that develop on lining support. An iterative process of applying support pressure until observing no failure zone around shaft is used to simulate lining support pressure for each individual model. Later, regression and fuzzy logic analyses are carried out to find a pressure equation for all of the models. Finally, the pressure equation derived is used in elastic “thick-walled cylinder” equation to calculate the lining thickness required to prevent the development of a failure zone around shafts. At the end of this research, a computer program “Shaft 2D” is developed to simplify the lining thickness calculation process.

A methodology for lining design of circular mine shafts in different rock masses Öztürk, Hasan (2016-09-01) In this study, the finite element numerical modelling of 2D shaft sections in a Hoek-Brown medium are carried out in a non-hydrostatic stress state in an attempt to predict pressures developing around mine shafts. An iterative process of applying support pressure until observing no failure zone around the shaft is used to simulate the required lining support pressure for different shaft models. Later, regression analysis is carried out to find a generic shaft pressure equation representing the rock mass and...
A New Method for Prediction of the Transient Force Generated by a Liquid Slug Impact on an Elbow of an Initially Voided Line KAYHAN, Bulent A.; Bozkuş, Zafer (ASME International, 2011-04-01) The aim of the present study is to predict the impact force applied by an individual transient liquid slug on an elbow at the end of a horizontal and initially empty pipeline. The liquid slug is driven by pressurized air in a tank located upstream of the pipeline. The time dependent pressure distribution along the elbow and a vertical extension segment after the elbow are solved with a 1D numerical approach along a curved line mesh. An assumed and calibrated axial turbulent velocity profile function with 3D...
AN INVESTIGATION ON DEVELOPMENT OF A PREDICTION MODEL FOR FATIGUE LIFE OF OPEN HOLE SPECIMENS WITH DOUBLE THROUGH THE THICKNESS CRACKS USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY Shabestari, Sohrab Heidari; Kayran, Altan (2019-09-18) In this study, a model for predicting the life of open hole specimens with a double through the thickness fatigue cracks emanating from the fastener hole walls is suggested. The model predicts the life of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy under constant amplitude loading for varying geometries and is valuable for basic experimental evaluations dealing with crack growth from fastener holes. For the experimental verification, experimental test data under constant amplitude loading with the load ratio R=0 was extracted f...
On the assessment of the effect of the anisotropy in in-situ stress on support pressure in tunnels Osgoui, Reza. R. (2006-06-21) This paper presents a newly empirical approach to estimate support pressure in rock tunnels. The new approach takes the rock mass quality (Geological Strength Index: GSI), the disturbance degree, the post-failure behavior, the size of tunnel, the state of in-situ stresses, and the squeezing-prone condition into consideration. A parametric study was, too, carried out using numerical analysis to investigate the influence of anisotropy in field stresses and the effect of the various shapes and sizes of tunnels...
A METHOD FOR THE CALCULATION OF NATURAL FREQUENCIES OF ORTHOTROPIC AXISYMMETRICALLY LOADED SHELLS OF REVOLUTION Kayran, Altan; ARDIC, ES (ASME International, 1994-01-01) A methodology is presented for the calculation of the natural frequencies of orthotropic axisymmetrically loaded shells of revolution including the effect of transverse shear deformation. The fundamental system of equations governing the free vibration of the stress-free shells of revolution are modified such that the initial stresses due to the axisymmetric loading are incorporated into the analysis. The linear equations on the vibration about the deformed state are solved by using the transfer matrix meth...
