Nonlinear pattern formations are ubiquitous in nature. One of the analogous configurations in laboratory experiments to such nonlinear systems is the current filament formations observed in glow plasmas. These filaments can generate oscillatory fluctuations in glow, which are also observed in voltage and current measurements. Specifically, semiconductor-gas discharges are known to breed these types of current filaments naturally. The plasma discharge is initiated by applying a DC high voltage to electrodes while they are immersed in nitrogen gas at partial atmospheric pressure. Observed discharge behaves oscillatory in time. Harmonic frequency generation and coherency levels among these modes are investigated. Parametric scans are performed to study the transition to chaotic behavior. Observed results are discussed in detail.

Investigation of decoupling techniques for linear and nonlinear systems Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) Structural coupling methods are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled systems. In this study, the reverse problem, i.e. predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular subsystem from the knowledge of the dynamics of the overall system and of all the other subsystems, is studied. This problem arises when a substructure cannot be measured separately, but only when coupled to neighboring substructures. The dynamic decoupling problem of coupled linear structures is well investigated in literature. Howev...
Investigation of model updating techniques and their applications to aircraft structures Kozak, Mustafa Tuğrul; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) Mathematical models that are built in order to simulate the behavior of structures, most often, tend to respond differently than the actual structures in their initial state. In order to use the mathematical models and their computational outputs instead of testing the real structure under every possible case, it is mandatory to have a mathematical model that reflects the characteristics of the actual structure in the best possible way. In this thesis, the so called model updating techniques used for updati...
Assessment of Point-Source Stochastic Simulations Using Recently Derived Ground-Motion Prediction Equations Akkar, Dede Sinan; Yenier, Emrah (Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2009-12-01) The simplicity of the point-source stochastic simulation method makes it one of the most appealing tools for the quantification of ground motions for seismic hazard related studies. In this article, we scrutinize the limitations of this technique in terms of fundamental geophysical model parameters. To achieve this objective, we use the estimations of recent Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) and European empirical ground-motion models that are based on global strong-motion databases. The generated synthetic...
Dynamics of Coupled Structures, Volume 4 Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (null, Springer, 2016-01-01) Substructuring methods are well known and are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled structures. In theory, there is no reason why the same techniques could not be used in a reverse problem of predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular substructure from the knowledge of the dynamics of the coupled structure and of all the other substructures. However, the reverse problem, known as decoupling, usually requires matrix inversions, and therefore even small measurement errors may easily affect the ac...
Comparison of ASCE/SEI Standard and modal pushover-based ground motion scaling procedures for pre-tensioned concrete bridges Özgenoğlu, Müge; Arıcı, Yalın (2017-01-01) Complex analysis methods such as non-linear time-history analyses (NTHA) are often required for the design of non-standard bridges. The selection of the ground motions for the NTHA is a crucial task as the results of the analyses show a wide variability according to the selected records. In order to predict the demand in accordance with the seismic hazard conditions of the site, the selected motions are usually modified by scaling procedures. Within this context, the performance of two scaling methods, name...
