In this paper, the effect of lead core heating and associated strength deterioration on the seismic response of bridges isolated with lead rubber bearings (LRB) is investigated as a function of the characteristics of the isolator and near fault ground motions with forward rupture directivity effect. Furthermore, the ability of bounding analyses to provide a design envelope for maximum isolator force and maximum isolator displacement is verified. For this purpose, a series of nonlinear dynamic analyses are conducted for LRB isolated bridges where both deteriorating and non-deteriorating force-deformation relationship of LRB were employed. The analyses are performed for both simulated and recorded ground motions. It is found that while the temperature rise in the lead core generally increases with increasing magnitude and number of near fault ground motion velocity pulses, it decreases with larger distances from the fault. It is also found that bounding analysis method provides conservative (envelope) estimates of maximum isolator displacement and maximum isolator force for design purposes that fulfill its intended purpose.

Effect of modifying bearing fixities on the seismic response of short- to medium-length bridges with heavy substructures Hindi, R; Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2006-02-01) The effect of modifying the fixity conditions of the bearings on the seismic response and vulnerability of existing bridges with heavy substructures is studied. For this purpose, nonlinear seismic analysis of a typical bridge with heavy substructures is conducted to assess its seismic response and vulnerabilities. Next, the bearings are modified to obtain four different configurations of bearing fixities over the substructures. Nonlinear seismic analyses of the bridge are conducted to assess its seismic res...
Effect of the high frequency components of near-fault ground motions on the response of linear and nonlinear SDOF systems: A moving average filtering approach Yalcin, O. Fatih; Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01) In this study, the effect of the high frequency components of near fault ground motions (NFGM) with forward rupture directivity effect (FRDE) on the seismic response of elastic and inelastic SDOF regular (non-isolated) and seismic isolated structures is studied. For this purpose, Moving Average filtering method is used to remove the high frequency content of the NFGM at various filtering levels. The key motive for this effort is to evaluate the appropriateness of representing the NFGMs by decomposed signals...
Effect of steady and transient wind shear on the wake structure and performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine rotor SEZER UZOL, NİLAY; Uzol, Oğuz (2013-01-01) This paper presents an investigation of the effect of steady and transient free-stream wind shear on the wake structure and performance characteristics of a horizontal axis wind turbine rotor. A new three-dimensional unsteady vortex-panel method potential flow solver based on a free-vortex wake methodology, AeroSIM+, is used for this purpose. The code is validated using the experimental data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Unsteady Aerodynamics Experiments. The effects of vortex core model, co...
Effect of tube spinning and subsequent heat treatments on strength, microstructure and residual stress state of AISI/SAE type 4140 steel Gür, Cemil Hakan (Informa UK Limited, 2003-11-01) In the present study, the effects of deformation percentage (23, 30, 50 and 66%) and subsequent stress relief and tempering heat treatments on the mechanical properties, residual stress state and microstructure of AISI/SAE type 4140 steel tubes manufactured by forward spinning were evaluated. Mechanical properties were determined by means of hardness and tensile tests. The tangential component of the surface residual stresses was determined by a slitting method. Plastic deformation of the metal during spinn...
Variations in the hysteretic behavior of LRBs as a function of applied loading ÖZDEMİR, GÖKHAN; BAYHAN, BEYHAN; Gulkan, Polat (2018-07-10) The study presented herein focused on the change in hysteretic force-deformation behavior of lead rubber bearings (LRBs). The material model used to idealize response of LRBs under cyclic motion is capable of representing the gradual attrition in strength of isolator unit on account of lead core heating. To identify the effect of loading history on the hysteretic response of LRBs, a typical isolator unit is subjected to cyclic motions with different velocity, amplitude and number of cycles. Furthermore, per...
