A numerical study of solidification and viscous dissipation effects on polymer melt flow in plane channels
Tutar, Mustafa; Karakuş, Ali (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2013-04-01)
The combined effects of solidification and viscous dissipation on the hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of polymer melt flow during the injection process in a straight plane channel of constant cross section are numerically studied by considering the shear-rate and temperature-dependent viscosity and transient-phase change behavior. A numerical finite volume method, in conjunction with a modified form of the Cross constitutive equation to account for shear rate, temperature-dependent viscosity changes and a...
A numerical study on block shear failure of steel tension members
Kara, Emre; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
Block shear is a limit state that should be accounted for during the design of the steel tension members. This failure mechanism combines a tension failure on one plane and a shear plane on a perpendicular plane. Although current design specifications present equations to predict block shear load capacities of the connections, they fail in predicting the failure modes. Block shear failure of a structural connection along a staggered path may be the governing failure mode. Code treatments for stagger in a bl...
A Numerical Study on the Behavior of Offshore Suction Bucket Foundations under Cyclic Lateral Loading
Alp, Yilmaz S.; Ercan, Tasan H. (2020-01-01)
Offshore wind turbines are exposed to high cyclic lateral loads induced by wind and waves which play a special role in the design of foundations. It's essential to clarify the bucket behavior under cyclic lateral loading to fulfil the design requirements of these foundations in both ultimate and serviceability limit states. In this study the behavior of monopods embedded in saturated sandy soil subjected to cyclic lateral loads were investigated using a sophisticated finite element model. The accumulation o...
A numerical study of single-phase convective heat transfer in microtubes for slip flow
Sun, Wei; Kakac, Sadik; Yazicioglu, Almila G. (2007-11-01)
The steady-state convective heat transfer for laminar, two-dimensional, incompressible rarefied gas flow in the thermal entrance region of a tube under constant wall temperature, constant wall heat flux, and linear variation of wall temperature boundary conditions are investigated by the finite-volume finite difference scheme with slip flow and temperature jump conditions. Viscous heating is also included, and the solutions are compared with theoretical results where viscous heating has been neglected. For ...
A numerical study on beam stability in eccentrically braced frames
Yiğitsoy, Gül; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
A two-phase research program was undertaken numerically to assess the behavior of the beam outside of the link that is designed for overstrength of the link in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). In the first phase, software was developed to conduct a statistical analysis of the typical cases designed according to the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings. In this analysis, it was noticed that most of the statistically analyzed cases do not satisfy the code requirement provided for overstre...
