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, performance of an LRB isolated single degree of freedom system is studied under different seismic input levels. Finally, the significance of lead core heating effect on LRBs is discussed by considering the current design approach for base isolated structures. Results of this study show that the response of an LRB is governed strongly by the amplitude and number of cycles of the motion and the considered seismicity level.

Effect of lead core heating on the seismic performance of bridges isolated with LRB in near-fault zones Ozdemir, Gokhan; Dicleli, Murat (2012-11-01) 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 c...
Change in optimal pump-and-treat remediation design and cost for different correlation lengths of spatially variable hydraulic conductivity field Gungor-Demirci, G.; Aksoy, Ayşegül (2011-11-01) In this study, variations in optimal pump-and-treat (P&T) remediation designs and costs for a contaminated and mass-transfer-limited aquifer are investigated for different hydraulic conductivity (K) heterogeneity conditions with focus on the influence of the correlation length (lambda) of spatially variable K values. Several heterogeneous K fields with diverse lambda values and variances (sigma(2)) are considered. The impact of lambda on optimal remediation design selection is analysed considering different...
Effects of Montmorillonite Content and Maleic Anhydride Compatibilization on the Mechanical Behavior of Polylactide Nanocomposites Sarı, Burcu (2016-08-01) The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of montmorillonite (MMT) type nanoclay content and maleic anhydride (MA) grafted polylactide (PLA) copolymer compatibilization on the mechanical properties of PLA nanocomposites; compounded by twin-screw extrusion melt-mixing followed with injection molding for shaping of bulk specimens. Successively intercalated and exfoliated structures of the nanocomposites were observed by XRD and TEM analysis, including the chemical interactions by FTIR. Mechanical t...
Effects of chromic acid anodizing on fatigue behavior of 7050 T7451 aluminum alloy Ilhan, Cagri; Gürbüz, Rıza (2021-09-01) The effect of chromic acid anodizing (CAA) surface treatment on 7050 T7451 aluminum alloy was presented in this study in terms of fatigue behavior. CAA is a treatment against corrosion by producing aluminum oxide layer (Al2O3) at the surface. However, fatigue performance of 7050 T7451 is affected by the coating. In this study, eight different CAA processes were examined with regard to etching stage of pre-treatments by using an alkaline etchant and/or acid etchants with various immersion times. Optical micr...
EFFECT OF AGING ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF Al-8Si-8Fe-1.4V/SiCp COMPOSITES Essari, A.; Sariuglo, F.; Petrovic, Z.; Sedmak, A.; Samardzic, I. (2016-01-01) In this study, Al-8Fe-8Si-1.4V/SiCp composites fabricated by squeeze casting process were age-hardened to study the influence of heat treatment on mechanical properties, such as hardness, bending strength and modulus of elasticity. The cast samples were solid soluted at 540 degrees C for one hour, then quenched in water to room temperature, and finally aged at 190 degrees C for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours for hardness test and at 195 degrees C for 2, 6 and 10 hours for bending strength determination.
