Design of a demolition boom
Çetin, Betül; Söylemez, Eres; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
Excavators are used for many purposes. Some of these are digging, drilling, breaking and demolition. A demolition excavator boom consists of 3-piece boom which is different in form and construction from a 2-piece boom used in standard excavator. The aim of this thesis is to design a demolition boom for hydraulic excavator with operation weight of 30 ton. With this construction a higher reach is gained. Design of the demolition boom consists of three stages. Firstly the mechanism design is performed to deter...
Design of a vehicle barrier
Kaplan, Engin Metin; Oral, Süha; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
In this study, the crash of a medium heavy vehicle onto a designed vehicle barrier is studied numerically. Structural integrity of the vehicle barrier is studied by nonlinear dynamic methods under the loading conditions which is defined in the standards. Nastran and Ls-Dyna which are commercial softwares are used to solve the problem. Outer geometry determination, allignment of the inner part and material properties of the vehicle barrier are studied linearly to yield design parameters. Best design paramete...
Design of Retaining Walls Using Big Bang-Big Crunch Optimization
Camp, Charles V.; Akin, Alper (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-03-01)
A procedure is developed for designing low-cost or low-weight cantilever reinforced concrete retaining walls, with base shear keys, using big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) optimization. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the total cost or total weight per unit length of the retaining structure subjected to constraints on the basis of stability, bending moment, and shear force capacities and the requirements of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-05). An iterative population-based heuristic sear...
