This study presents a computational model to simulate the behavior of confined concrete in column plastic hinge zones. The model describes the distribution of confining stresses within a circular column cross-section and the hysteretic behavior of concrete under passive confinement. Of particular interest is the ability of the model to predict the maximum circumferential strains and thus estimate the limit state of the confining medium rather than relying on empirical limits such as concrete compressive strain or drift ratio. This is performed with fiber-discretized beam column analysis without the computational expenses of a continuum finite element (FE) model. The confined section and material model are implemented in an object-oriented computational platform for structural analysis. New classes are developed and presented for a confined fiber section, a confined concrete material, and associated hysteretic behavior rules. Finally, the results from two experimental programs on columns strengthened using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) lamina are reproduced using the developed computational model. Comparison of simulation and experiment shows that the computational model can closely match the observed response characteristics and can adequately predict the deformation level leading to FRP rupture.

A modified applied element model for the simulation of plain concrete behaviour Soysal, Berat Feyza; Arıcı, Yalın; Tuncay, Kağan (2022-08-01) A modified applied element model to simulate the behaviour of plain concrete continuum structures including discrete cracking is proposed in this study. In the classical applied element model, Poisson effects are fully ignored. To remediate this issue, diagonal elements are introduced to include the Poisson effect, and the constitutive parameters are rigorously determined using the Cauchy-Born rule and the hyper-elastic theory. The formulation is validated for linear elastic problems and the consistency and...
A frequency domain nonparametric identification method for nonlinear structures: Describing surface method Karaagacli, Taylan; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) In this paper a new method called 'Describing Surface Method' (DSM) is developed for nonparametric identification of a localized nonlinearity in structural dynamics. The method makes use of the Nonlinearity Matrix concept developed in the past by using classical describing function theory, which assumes that nonlinearity depends mainly on the response amplitude and frequency dependence is negligible for almost all of the standard nonlinear elements. However, this may not always be the case for complex nonli...
A phase-field model for fracture of unidirectional fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites Denli, Funda Aksu; Gultekin, Osman; Holzapfel, Gerhard A.; Dal, Hüsnü (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-04-01) This study presents a crack phase-field approach for anisotropic continua to model, in particular, fracture of fiber-reinforced matrix composites. Starting with the variational formulation of the multi-field problem of fracture in terms of the deformation and the crack phase fields, the governing equations feature the evolution of the anisotropic crack phase-field and the balance of linear momentum, presented for finite and small strains. A recently proposed energy-based anisotropic failure criterion is inc...
A Methodology for Resolution Mapping for Cross-Resolution Simulation using Event-B Kara, Ahmet; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Alpdemir, M. Nedim (2015-11-01) This paper proposes a software engineering solution for implementing simulations via the composition of models at different resolution levels with the help of formal methods. Our solution provides a systematic methodology that offers a well-defined sequence of stages to obtain executable converters for entity resolution mapping, given the types of entity attributes that are exchanged at model interfaces and the mapping specifications. Our methodology uses Event-B as the formal specification language and Dis...
A Numerical Study of a Modular Sparse Grad-Div Stabilization Method for Boussinesq Equations Demir, Medine; Kaya Merdan, Songül (2019-10-10) This study presents a modular sparse grad-div stabilization method for solving the Boussinesq equations. Unlike the usual grad-div stabilization which produces fully coupled block matrices, the proposed stabilization method produces block upper triangular matrices. Thus, the proposed method is more attractive in terms of both its computational cost and solution accuracy. We provide unconditional stability results for velocity and temperature. Two numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the effici...
