Increasing the deformation capacities of code-incompliant RC columns by wrapping their potential plastic hinge regions with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has become a rather popular strengthening technique in recent years. FRP design guidelines are included in the 7th chapter of the Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC-07) that became effective in 2007. This study intends to scrutinize the design approach of TEC-07 in light of the test results of 10 columns tested under axial load and cyclic displacement excursions at METU and the test results of 18 columns gathered from literature. After careful investigations, it was clearly seen that in TEC-07, the FRP wrapped column performance limits were overconservative and led to uneconomical designs. Two different design methods were developed among which one of them is compatible with the current code procedure and the other one is based on inter-storey drifts in order to obtain simpler and more economical FRP design in addition to its accuracy.

Comparison of Two Alternative Silicon-On-Glass Microfabrication Processes for MEMS Inertial Sensors Torunbalci, M. M.; Tatar, E.; Alper, S. E.; Akın, Tayfun (2011-09-07) This paper presents experimental comparison of a modified silicon-on-glass (M-SOG) process to a previously-reported classical SOG (C-SOG) process based on the use of SOI wafers, yielding a stress free < 111 > silicon structural layer with desired structure thickness. The basic difference between these processes is the sequence of the step at which the silicon microstructures are defined by DRIE, making M-SOG more robust against critical dimension (CD) variations. Overall, M-SOG provides a simple, high yield...
Evaluation of effective elastic properties of honeycomb sandwich structures by optimization involving modal behavior Çınar, Okan; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve; Kayran, Altan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) This thesis aims to develop an alternative approach which estimates the effective elastic properties of 2D orthotropic equivalent model of the honeycomb core material. For this purpose, 3D detailed finite element (FE) model of honeycomb structure, with the actual cell geometry and the face sheets, is used as the reference structure. Effective elastic properties of the equivalent 2D orthotropic model, representing the honeycomb core, are determined by means optimization. The objective function of the optimiz...
Investigation of the effects of equal channel angular extrusion on light weight alloys Karpuz, Pınar; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Karaman, İbrahim; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Severe plastic deformation methods are of great interest in industrial forming applications, as they give rise to significant refinement in microstructures and improvements in mechanical and physical properties. In the “Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE)”, which is the most common method for production of ultrafine grained bulk samples, very high plastic strains are introduced into the bulk material without any change in cross section. This study is composed of two main parts. Part I focuses on the plas...
Investigating the effects of hardening of aluminium alloys on equal-channel angular pressing-A finite-element study Karpuz, P.; Simsir, C.; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-15) Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a promising severe plastic deformation method for production of ultrafine-grained bulk metals and alloys with considerably improved mechanical properties. In this study, numerical experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of strain hardening of aluminum alloys on the process performance of ECAP via finite element modeling. In the constitutive model, isothermal-plane strain, frictionless condition was assumed. The numerical results showed that strain hard...
Determination of cracking related properties of engineering cementitious composites Keskin, Süleyman Bahadır; Şahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (null; 2017-09-12) Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) are relatively new types of fiber reinforced cementitious materials with enhanced mechanical properties such as tensile strain hardening accompanying high tensile strain capacity. This is mainly attributed to close and multiple cracks with widths remaining under 60 µm which contributes to durability of ECC material. These properties are only achievable as a result of a micro-mechanical design that requires special ingredients that make ECC costly to be used alone, ho...
