Tunnel linings are generally analysed transversally as a plane strain problem. Very little attention is given to the flexural behaviour which may occur in the longitudinal direction as a result of settlements along the tunnel. Longitudinal bending is ignored, on the assumption that the settlement will be small and that the linings possess suficient flexibility to cope with the settlements without producing high stresses. This Paper presents an analytical study of the flexure-induced deformations and stresses in tunnel linings subject to settlement. Two tunnels with relevant vertical survey records have been analysed. The results of the analysis revealed that the deformation capacity of the linings under longitudinal bending was provided almost entirely by the lining joints. The joints experienced separation at high flexural stress regions as the stresses in longitudinal bolts in the joints exceeded their pre-tensioning value. Local bending of the transverse flanges appeared to be contributing most to the joint separation

Dynamic modeling and analysis of vibration effects on performance in optical systems Avşar, Ahmet Levent; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In order to understand the effects of structurally induced line of sight (SILOS) jitter (vibration) and to predict its effects on optical system performance, a simple and practical vibratory model and software are developed by using discrete and finite element modeling techniques. For an existing simple optical system, discrete and FE dynamic models are constructed and they are validated by modal tests for the frequency range of interest. In order to find material properties of adhesive, which is used in op...
Aeroservoelastic analysis and robust controller synthesis for flutter suppression of air vehicle control actuation systems Akmeşe, Alper; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) Flutter is one of the most important phenomena in which aerodynamic surfaces become unstable in certain flight conditions. Since the 1930’s many studies were conducted in the areas of flutter prediction in design stage, research of design methods for flutter prevention, derivation and confirmation of flutter flight envelopes via tests, and in similar subjects for aircraft wings. With the use of controllers in 1960’s, studies on the active flutter suppression began. First the classical controllers were used....
Assessment of twin tunnel induced ground deformation by empirical and numerical analyses (Eurasia tunnel: NATM part, Istanbul, Turkey) Ağbay, Ebru; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) Pre-support systems become very important for inner-city shallow tunnels especially while applying New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) which requires some deformation to relieve the stress. Previous studies about assessing the magnitude of surface displacements caused by twin tunneling do not include the effects of presupport system and stress release by deformation. Moreover, most of the established empirical equations were obtained by using data from tunnel passing through clayey soil. Objective of this ...
Active Hybrid Fault Tolerant Flight Control of an UAV under Control Surface Damage Ergocmen, Burak; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2020-01-01) Control surface or actuator faults or failures in any flight lead to system-induced loss of control in-flight (LOC-I) and the result can be fatal. In this paper, to prevent these accidents, an active fault-tolerant flight control (FTFC) is proposed. The system consists of the nonlinear control technique, state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) and a linear controller technique. In this paper, control surface damage is studied. To prevent LOC-I, a Reconfiguration Mechanism (RM) sends signals in real-time to ...
Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Aerodynamic Loads for Tall Buildings with Prismatic and Twisted Forms Orbay Akcengiz, Ezgi; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Ostovan, Yasar; Ay, Bekir Özer (null; 2017-04-21) Cantilevered from the ground, tall buildings reaching exceptional heights are inevitably exposed to severe lateral effects, particularly wind loads. As the structures get higher, slenderer and have larger strength-to-weight ratios, their design, both structural and architectural, is principally based on wind rather than gravity or seismic demands. Wind forces acting on this type of structures primarily depends on wind characteristics and the building form. Thus, creating distinctive forms that attract publi...
