Tidal records are usually processed on the basis of Harmonic Analysis which in fact works well for linear and stationary data. It is a mathematical procedure which divides the data in a finite number of harmonic constituents. But the tidal data is in reality non-linear and non-stationary because of atmospheric and meteorological parameters. Therefore in this work a MATLAB –based Toolbox has been developed for hourly tidal data collected from four tide gauge stations at the Turkish costs using Hilbert Huang Empirical Mode Decomposition (HHEMD) which is an efficient and powerful method for non-linear and non-stationary time series. Hilbert Huang Empirical Mode Decomposition (HHEMD) is carried out in two steps. Firstly data are processed by Empirical Mode decomposition (EMD) which decomposes the signal in a number of intrinsic mode components (IMFs). The second step is to apply the Hilbert transform to each IMF in order to find Phase, Amplitude and Instantaneous Frequency of the signal. In this study the hourly tidal data are decomposed in tidal and sub-tidal components using HHEMD and the results of the tidal components are compared with the results of harmonic analysis. Very long and non-stationary period components are filtered as sub tidal. Finally the frequency and amplitude of the diurnal and semi-diurnal component are used to extract the minimum and maximum velocities of the diurnal and semidiurnal tidal constituents in order to analyze the capability of producing tidal energies from possible tidal turbines to be located at tidal stations. Also an exemplarity completeness test has been performed to validate the decomposition of the time series obtained by the Antalya station utilizing EMD. The result showed that the signal has been recovered properly.

Derivation of analytical fragility curves using SDOF models of masonry structures in Erzincan (Turkey) Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Yakut, Ahmet (2020-02-01) Seismic loss estimation studies require fragility curves which are usually derived using ground motion datasets. Ground motion records can be either in the form of recorded or simulated time histories compatible with regional seismicity. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the use of alternative ground motion datasets (simulated and real) on the fragility curves. Simulated dataset is prepared considering regional seismicity parameters corresponding to Erzincan using the stochastic finite-fault ...
Evaluation of disparity map characteristics for stereo image coding Aksay, A; Bici, MO; Akar, Gözde (2005-09-14) In order to compress stereo image pairs effectively, disparity compensation is the most widely used method. In this paper we examined the effects of using different disparity maps and their properties in an embedded JPEG2000 based disparity compensated stereo image coder. These properties include the block size, estimation method and the resulting entropy of the disparity map. Experimental results show that basic block matching gives better results than ground truth, especially on occluded regions and bound...
ASSESSMENT OF RPIM SHAPE PARAMETERS FOR SOLUTION ACCURACY OF 2D GEOMETRICALLY NONLINEAR PROBLEMS BOZKURT, ÖMER YAVUZ; KANBER, BAHATTİN; Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2013-06-01) This study discussed the effects of shape parameters on the radial point interpolation method (RPIM) accuracy in 2D geometrically nonlinear problems. Four finite deformation problems with compressible Neo-Hookean material are numerically solved with the RPIM algorithm using the multi-quadric (MQ) radial basis function. Both regular and irregular node distributions are used. Their displacements and Cauchy stresses are compared for different values of shape parameters and monomial basis. It is found that the ...
An attempt to classify Turkish district data : K-Means and Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithms Aksoy, Ece; Işık, Oğuz; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2004) There is no universally applicable clustering technique in discovering the variety of structures display in data sets. Also, a single algorithm or approach is not adequate to solve every clustering problem. There are many methods available, the criteria used differ and hence different classifications may be obtained for the same data. While larger and larger amounts of data are collected and stored in databases, there is increasing the need for efficient and effective analysis methods. Grouping or classific...
Reconfigurable UKF for in-flight magnetometer calibration and attitude parameter estimation Söken, Halil Ersin (2011-01-01) In this study a reconfigurable unscented Kalman filter (UKF) based algorithm for the estimation of magnetometer biases and scale factors is proposed as a part of the attitude estimation scheme of a pico satellite. Algorithm is composed of two stages; in first stage UKF estimates magnetometer biases and scale factors as well as six attitude parameters of the satellite. Differently from the existing algorithms, scale factors are not treated together with the other parameters as a part of the state vector; thr...
