In this thesis, a two-stage stochastic mixed integer programming approach is proposed to determine the two types of post-disaster decisions, namely relief distribution with direct/ lateral transshipment and emergency roadway repair simultaneously, under the risk of potential aftershocks. Two objective functions are considered: minimization of the demand-weighted total travel time subject to satisfying all demand (efficacy-based), and minimizing the maximum unsatisfied demand over all demand points (equity-based). A case study for a potential earthquake in Istanbul, Turkey is implemented, through which it is shown that (i) ignoring the potential effects of aftershocks may lead to detrimental results, (ii) without road repair, relief transportation is significantly hampered, (iii) the decisions are quite robust to the number of roads that are affected by the disaster, and (iv) lateral transshipment leads to improvements in transportation times to a certain extent.

Fault detection and diagnosis in nonlinear dynamical systems
Kılıç, Erdal; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
The aim of this study is to solve Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) problems occurring in nonlinear dynamical systems by using model and knowledge-based FDD methods and to give a priority and a degree about faults. For this purpose, three model-based FDD approaches, called FDD by utilizing principal component analysis (PCA), system identification based FDD and inverse model based FDD are introduced. Performances of these approaches are tested on different nonlinear dynamical systems starting from simple t...
Linear modal combination procedure for structural dynamics
Tanışer, Sadun; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
Earthquake engineering practice utilizes different analysis procedures in the estimation of seismic demands on structures. These procedures are mainly divided into two groups as static and dynamic procedures. Dynamic procedures are more accurate than the static procedures since they include the entire history of any response parameter during the ground motion. Nevertheless, there are also approximate but much simpler static analysis procedures that overcome high computational demands and inherent difficulti...
Empirical prediction equations for peak ground velocity derived from strong-motion records from Europe and the Middle East
Akkar, Dede Sinan; Bommer, Julian J. (2007-04-01)
Peak ground velocity (PGV) has many applications in earthquake engineering, but there are relatively few prediction equations for this parameter in comparison with the large numbers of equations for estimating peak ground acceleration and response spectral ordinates. This lack of empirical equations for PGV has led to widespread use of the practice of scaling peak velocity from the 5%-damped response spectral ordinate at I sec, which is a poor substitute for direct prediction of the parameter. Responding to...
Nonlinear guidance and control of leader-follower UAV formations
Kumbasar, Sarper; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015)
In this thesis work, two nonlinear guidance methods are proposed to control the autonomous formation flight: State Dependent Riccati Equation method and Lyapunov function method. Leader-Follower formation scheme is chosen and a pair of fighter aircrafts are used in simulations. One of them is chosen as the leader and it carries out the commanded maneuvers. Other aircraft is the follower and it follows the leader keeping the prescribed formation structure. Both aircraft models are nonlinear. In the inner loo...
Nonlinear vibration analysis of L-shaped beams and their use in vibration reduction
Ekici, Yiğitcan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-9)
In this thesis, nonlinear vibration analysis of both fixed L-shaped beam and L-shaped beam attached to a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system is performed for several cases with different structural parameters to observe the effect of these parameters. Then these beams are proposed to reduce the vibration amplitudes of certain structures, and the nonlinear effects on the dynamic responses of these structures are investigated. The nonlinear dynamic model of the L-shaped beam is obtained by using Euler-Bern...
