Pulse testing of an agitated vessel

1987
The dynamic study of an agitated insulated vessel was performed using the pulse test method. Adequate pulse characteristics which will disturb a first- and a second-order system in a single pulse test were found by analysing the effects of pulse height and duration, integration step size in computation and the type of approximation used on the accuracy of the results. The theoretical multivariable matrix for the system was found and the best manipulated-controlled variable couples were determined by Bristol's technique.

Experimental characterization of a tuned vibration absorber
Aksoy, Tuğrul; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Acar, Bülent; Gençoğlu, Caner (2016-01-01)
In this paper, experimental characterization studies conducted for a tuned vibration absorber is presented. The tuned vibration absorber has been particularly designed to reduce transverse resonant vibration response of a supported cylinder structure at its dominant two modes. Various testing configurations and techniques have been used such as transmissibility measurements, frequency response measurements, sweep sine testing, impact testing, and random testing. Different testing approaches were needed to e...
Vibration Fatigue Analysis of a Cantilever Beam Using Different Fatigue Theories
Eldoğan, Yusuf; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2014-02-11)
In this study, vibration fatigue analysis of a cantilever beam is performed using an in-house numerical code. Finite element model (FEM) of the cantilever beam verified by tests is used for the analysis. Several vibration fatigue theories are used to obtain fatigue life of the cantilever beam for white noise random input and the results obtained are compared with each other. Fatigue life calculations are repeated for different damping ratios and the effect of damping ratio is studied. Moreover, using strain...
Vortex generator design for subsonic inlets
Nasuhbeyoğlu, Batuhan; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, numerical investigation of the benefits of vortex generators control on the performance of S-shaped inlets has been performed. This study is divided into two main parts. In the first part, a diffusive S-shaped inlet is examined and the numerical analyses results are compared with the experimental results. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are solved and three different turbulence models which are Realizable k-ε, Standard k-ω, and Spalart-Allmaras methods are used. Distortion coeffici...
3D-FE model field-calibration and rating studies on existing r/c buildings
Demirok, Emel; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
Dynamic instrumentation and a series of ambient vibration tests were performed on a four storey strengthened R/C building within the scope of this study. Traffic load and wind load were accepted as natural dynamic loads and the vibrations were recorded by sensitive accelerometers.For that study, 12 uniaxial, 1 triaxial accelerometers and a 15 channel data logger system were used. Four sets of dynamic measurements were recorded over a period of 6 months. Recorded readings were analyzed using UPC, PC and CVA ...
THERMAL AND MASS DIFFUSIVITY FROM DYNAMIC SINGLE PELLET EXPERIMENTS
DOGU, G; CABBAR, C; Doğu, Timur (Informa UK Limited, 1991-01-01)
The single-pellet moment techniques previously developed for the evaluation of effective diffusion coefficient and effective thermal conductivity of a porous solid are combined and a procedure is proposed for the simultaneous evaluation of these constants from a single set of pulse response experiments. It is shown that both temperature and concentration response curves can be measured from a single pulse of oxygen injected into hydrogen carrier gas flowing past a catalyst pellet. It is shown that the zerot...
