Mechanical connections play a significant role in predicting dynamic characteristics of assembled structures. Therefore, equivalent dynamic models for joints are needed. Due to the complexity of joints, it is difficult to describe joint dynamics with analytical models. Reliable models are generally obtained using experimental measurements. In this paper an experimental identification method based on FRF decoupling and optimization algorithm is proposed for modeling joints. In the method the FRFs of two substructures connected with a joint are measured, while the FRFs of the substructures are obtained numerically or experimentally. Then the joint properties are calculated in terms of translational, rotational and cross-coupling stiffness and damping values by using FRF decoupling. In order to eliminate the numerical errors associated with matrix inversion an optimization algorithm is used to update the joint values obtained from FRF decoupling. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated with experimental studies with bolted joints.

3D linear identification of mechanical joint using FRF decoupling and inverse structural modification methods Soleimani, Hossein; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2021-01-01) Mechanical connections such as bolts and rivets are inevitable in most engineering structures and may significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the structures. Therefore, modeling a joint simply and accurately is essential for assembled structures. On the other hand, the most important step is the determination of these joint model parameters which will be used in the calculation of dynamic response of assembled structures. For this purpose, in this paper, FRF Decoupling Method (FRF-DM), proposed in an e...
Dynamic modeling of joints in 3D structural models Tekin, Merve; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) For aviation applications, the noise and vibration cancellation is so important that there are many damping methods and applications used in the field. In military configurations the weight and the visual elegance is not so important that even a blanket may solve the problem. In civil configurations, on the other hand, there should be a lightweight solution for vibration damping. For this reason, since shell structures are widely used on aerospace applications, it is common to use surface damping solutions ...
Dynamic modeling of structural joints Tol, Şerife; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) Complex systems composed of many substructures include various structural joints connecting the substructures together. These mechanical connections play a significant role in predicting the dynamic characteristics of the assembled systems accurately. Therefore, equivalent dynamic models of joints that consist of stiffness and damping elements should be developed and the joint parameters should be determined for an accurate vibration analysis. Since it is difficult to estimate joint parameters accurately by...
Analytical modeling of asymmetric multi-segment rotor - bearing systems with Timoshenko beam model including gyroscopic moments Özşahin, Orkun; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-11-01) In this study, analytical modeling and an analysis approach for asymmetric multi-segment rotor bearing systems are presented. Timoshenko beam model which includes the effect of gyroscopic moments is employed for modeling rotor segments. Instead of applying FEM, sub-segment Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) are obtained analytically, and sub-segment FRFs obtained are coupled by using receptance coupling method. Bearing properties are included into system dynamics by employing structural modification techni...
Experimental investigation on seismic behavior of eccentric reinforced concrete beam-column-slab connections Canbolat, Burcu B.; Wight, James K. (2008-03-01) Design recommendations for reinforced concrete beam-column connections are based on limited experimental studies on the seismic behavior of eccentric connections. To supplement existing information, an experimental study was conducted that focused on the affect of eccentricity of spandrel beams with respect to the column. Specimens included a floor slab and transverse beams to evaluate the effect of slab participation. Test results indicated that including the floor system significantly reduced the negative...
