Current state of practice to assess ground response under seismic loading is mostly based on well-known and widely-used total stress-based equivalent linear assessment methodology, as part of which, mostly, strain compatible shear modulus and damping relationships need to be used. As implied by its name, "total stress", accumulation of excess pore water pressure which is a significant component of cyclic response, is not considered. Neglection of this component will produce unconservatively biased deformation and intensity estimations for soil sites at which cyclic-induced strains exceed small to medium strain range. Inspired from this gap, aim of this study is defined as development of probabilistic-based models for assessment of large strain modulus degradation response of fully saturated clean sands. For this purpose, an intensive literature survey was performed, and available resonant column, simple shear and cyclic triaxial test results were compiled. This data was assessed by probabilistic methods to develop a framework which takes into account not only the cyclic shear strain amplitudes but also the generation of excess pore water pressure.

Real-Time Detection of Interharmonics and Harmonics of AC Electric Arc Furnaces on GPU Framework
Uz-Logoglu, Eda; Salor, Ozgul; Ermiş, Muammer (2017-10-05)
In this paper, a method based on the multiple synchronous reference frame (MSRF) analysis is recommended and implemented to detect time-varying harmonics and interharmonics of rapidly fluctuating asymmetrical industrial loads. The experimental work has been carried out on a typical three-phase alternating current arc furnace (AC EAF) installation. In the recommended method, the reference frame is rotated in both directions at speeds corresponding to the positive and negative sequences of all harmonics and a...

Thermal fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials using an equivalent domain integral approach
Dağ, Serkan (2006-12-01)
A new computational method based on the equivalent domain integral (EDI) is developed for mode I fracture analysis of orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to thermal stresses. By using the constitutive relations of plane orthotropic thermoelasticity, generalized definition of the J-integral is converted to an equivalent domain integral to calculate the thermal stress intensity factor. In the formulation of the EDI approach, all the required thermomechanical properties are assumed to ha...
Unified assessment of stress scaling factors for liquefaction engineering problems
Çetin, Kemal Önder (2014-01-01)
Most of the widely used seismic soil liquefaction triggering methods propose cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) values valid at a reference normal effective stress (σv,0) of one atmosphere, and a zero static shear stress (τst,0) state. Then a series of correction factors are applied to the CRR to account for the effects due to variations from the reference normal effective and static shear stresses (i.e., Kσ and Kα corrections). In the literature exists a number of stress correction factors used for seismic soil...
Investigation of decoupling techniques for linear and nonlinear systems
Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Structural coupling methods are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled systems. In this study, the reverse problem, i.e. predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular subsystem from the knowledge of the dynamics of the overall system and of all the other subsystems, is studied. This problem arises when a substructure cannot be measured separately, but only when coupled to neighboring substructures. The dynamic decoupling problem of coupled linear structures is well investigated in literature. Howev...
