Supported hollow structural elements have a usage area in various types of structures or machines. They exhibit an oscillatory behavior under various excitations since their modal frequencies are quite low. This behavior results in vibrations which reach huge amplitudes especially at the tip of the structures. This situation may be harmful for the structural integrity of the structures and may reduce the service life. Moreover, these vibrations can distort the performance of the machines’ which involve the supported hollow structure. In this thesis study, a tuned vibration absorber (also called as tuned mass damper) design is proposed to suppress the vibrations of a supported hollow cylindrical structure under impulsive loading. Within the scope of this study, a tuned vibration absorber (TVA) designed and applied on a sample supported hollow cylinder structure. Then, the mitigation in vibration amplitudes as a result of this application is investigated. In order to see the effectiveness of the TVA application, a physical structure involving a supported hollow cylindrical structure is designed and manufactured. TVA is designed by considering the modal parameters of this physical structure and applied on it. Experiments are carried out in order to verify the effectiveness of the TVA application on the dynamics of the system. After then, dynamic test are carried out on the system and the mitigation in vibration levels is investigated as the result of the TVA application.

A new formulation for the analysis of bonded elastic layers Pınarbaşı, Seval; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Elastic layers bonded to reinforcing sheets are widely used in many engineering applications, e.g., as elastic foundations to machinery, as seismic isolators to structures, etc. Because of its practical importance, the behavior of bonded elastic layers under some basic deformation modes (e.g., compression, bending and shear modes) has attracted the attention of many researchers. However, the analytical works available in literature involve, with the object of obtaining design formulas, many simplifying assu...
Radiation of dipoles in multilayered cylinder with ferrite layer Aydin, O; Hizal, A (1996-07-26) Radiation characteristics of infinitesimal dipole in multilayered circular cylindrical structure including gyromagnetic media are investigated. Transversal field equations in spectral domain are obtained for gyromagnetic medium in cylindrical coordinates. These expressions are formed into a set of linear differential equations. The solution at each layer is expressed in terms of state transition matrices. Fields are matched at the interfaces. Far fields are evaluated asymptotically. The effects of changing ...
Behavior of reinforced concrete deep beam with web openings strengthened with (CFRP) sheet Jasim, Waleed A.; Tahnat, Yazan B. Abu; Halahla, Abdulsamee M. (2020-08-01) Deep beams are used in various applications in reinforced concrete (R.C.) structures. There have been continuous efforts to enhance and improve the performance of these crucial elements in (R.C.) structures by using several strengthening techniques such as using the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). However, by exploring the literature, none of the previously conducted experimental tests have studied the propagation of cracks beneath the (CFRP) sheets. In this research, the propagation of the first di...
Development of a 2D and 3D computational algorithm for discontinuity structural geometry identification by artificial intelligence based on image processing techniques Azarafza, Mohammad; Ghazifard, Akbar; Akgün, Haluk; Asghari-Kaljahi, Ebrahim (2019-07-01) Block geometry is commonly the most important feature determining the behaviour of a rock mass and directly controls the structural instability in underground openings or surface cuttings. Various methods are used to estimate block geometry and to perform a block survey, and these are standardly divided into empirical-based methods (e.g. spot mapping, linear mapping, areal mapping) and computer-based methods (e.g. laser scanning, image processing, digital image mapping). Empirical approaches are associated ...
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete for Pavements Şengün, Emin; Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (2016-09-21) The addition of fibers has allowed concrete to take a role in the field of ductile materials. In this field, pavements were always a challenge and a success for concrete. To be a strong rival to asphalt, concrete needs to be more flexible, which is possible by the use of fibers. However, for this concrete pavement to be able to survive and last as long as possible it needs to be a high performance one. The shy use of concrete pavements in Turkey shows the need for further researches on the local base to all...
