The embedded pile model is developed in Plaxis 3D Foundation Beta Version, to describe the pile-soil interaction in a foundation and to provide a numerical model for describing non-linear behaviour of the pile-soil interaction. In the present approach, the pile is considered as a beam element which can cross the soil at any place with any arbitrary orientation. The interaction between the pile and the surrounding soil at the pile shaft is described by means of embedded interface elements. At the pile tip, the soil resistance against compression is represented by means of embedded non-linear spring elements. Modelling the pile with embedded beam elements facilitates the analysis; however it brings out a kind of "mesh dependent" behaviour. In this paper, firstly the investigation of the mesh dependent behaviour, then the improvement of the model and finally verification/validation testing of "embedded pile" elements are presented. The mesh dependency is investigated and verified by using different mesh sizes for a unique model. Then, the model is improved by introducing an "elastic region" around and also at the tip of the pile element. Finally, two pile load tests are simulated by using the improved embedded pile elements for the validation.

Improved Image Generation in Normalizing Flows through a Multi-Scale Architecture and Variational Training Sayın, Deniz; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-8-31) Generative models have been shown to be able to produce very high fidelity samples in natural image generation tasks in recent years, especially using generative adverserial network and denoising diffusion model based approaches. Normalizing flow models are another class of generative models, which are based on learning invertible mappings between the latent space and the image space. Normalizing flow models possess desirable features such as the ability to perform exact density estimation and simple maximu...
Computational modeling of passive myocardium Göktepe, Serdar; Wong, Jonathan; Kuhl, Ellen (Wiley, 2011-01-01) This work deals with the computational modeling of passive myocardial tissue within the framework ofmixed, non-linear finite element methods. We consider a recently proposed, convex, anisotropic hyperelastic model that accounts for the locally orthotropic micro-structure of cardiac muscle. A coordinate-free representation of anisotropy is incorporated through physically relevant invariants of the Cauchy-Green deformation tensors and structural tensors of the corresponding material symmetry group. This model...
An improved method for inference of piecewise linear systems by detecting jumps using derivative estimation Selcuk, A. M.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) Inference of dynamical systems using piecewise linear models is a promising active research area. Most of the investigations in this field have been stimulated by the research in functional genomics. In this article we study the inference problem in piecewise linear systems. We propose first identifying the state transitions by detecting the jumps of the derivative estimates, then finding the guard conditions of the state transitions (thresholds) from the values of the state variables at the state transitio...
Moving Object Detction in 2D and 3D Scenes Sırtkaya, Salim; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) This thesis describes the theoretical bases, development and testing of an integrated moving object detection framework in 2D and 3D scenes. The detection problem is analyzed in stationary and non-stationary camera sequences and different algorithms are developed for each case. Two methods are proposed in stationary camera sequences: background extraction followed by differencing and thresholding, and motion detection using optical flow field calculated by أKanade-Lucas Feature Trackerؤ. For non-stationary ...
Modified Combined Tangential Formulation for Stable and Accurate Analysis of Plasmonic Structures Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-03-30) We present a modified combined tangential formulation (MCTF) for stable solutions of plasmonic problems involving metallic objects that are modeled as penetrable structures. For a wide range of negative real permittivity values, corresponding to the varying characteristics of the metals at infrared and visible frequencies, MCTF provides both accurate and efficient solutions in comparison to the conventional formulations. We explain the stability of MCTF in terms of the discretized operators for the limit ca...
