Sensitivity analysis of bridge decks for high-speed railway bridges
Rahman, Abdullah; Caner, Alp; Department of Civil Engineering (2020)
Continuous welded rail provides a smooth ride for railway traffic, the use of continuous welded rail allows the trains to reach higher speeds, where tracks are made to be continuous over supporting structure and discontinuities -embankment in front of and behind the bridge- the structure and the track jointly resist the longitudinal forces generated from rail traffic. Bridge structural properties can allow additional stresses in rail due to movement under variable actions. Bridge structure and track are int...
Sensitivity Study of Hydrodynamic Parameters During Numerical Simulations of Tsunami Inundation
Ozer, Ceren; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-11-01)
This paper describes the analysis of a parameter, "hydrodynamic demand,'' which can be used to represent the potential for tsunami drag force related damage to structures along coastlines. It is derived from the ratio of drag force to hydrostatic force caused by a tsunami on the structure. It varies according to the instantaneous values of the current velocities and flow depths during a tsunami inundation. To examine the effects of a tsunami in the present study, the analyses were performed using the tsunam...
Sensitivity Analysis of Distortion of Carburized Steel Shafts Using Computer Simulations
Yazır, Büşra; Evcil, Elif; Yıldız, Seçil; Davut, Kemal; Şimşir, Caner (null; 2016-12-01)
Carburizing and subsequent quenching heat treatments are commonly used industrial processes to improve the properties and performance of steel shafts. Undesired dimensional and shape changes (distortion) related to these treatments are still the most frequent reason for expensive and time consuming corrective operations, low performance during service and even product rejection. The major aim of this study is to identify the suitable control parameters for subsequent optimization of the carburized quenching...
Sensitivity Analysis of Major Drilling Parameters on Cuttings Transport during Drilling Highly-inclined Wells
Ozbayoglu, E. M.; Miska, S. Z.; Takach, N.; Reed, T. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, a layered cuttings transport model is developed for high-angle and horizontal wells, which can be used for incompressible non-Newtonian fluids as well as compressible non-Newtonian fluids (i.e., foams). The effects of major drilling parameters, such as flow rate, rate of penetration, fluid density, viscosity, gas ratio, cuttings size, cuttings density, wellbore inclination and eccentricity of the drillsting on cuttings transport efficiency are analyzed. The major findings from this study are,...
Sensitivity and uncertainty analysis for a radioecological model
Unver, O.; Kocar, C.; Tuncel, G. (Carl Hanser Verlag, 2020-10-01)
Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis were conducted for a radioecological model which was developed and applied for severe accident scenario for Akkuyu NPP in Turkey. Uncertainty was investigated in the doses and activity concentrations. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to find out most influencing parameters on the doses. 96 parameters, related with foodstuffs, feedstuffs and grass, inhalation rate and reduction factor for external irradiation, and transfer of Cs-137, Cs-134 and I-131 isotopes, were stud...
