The inelastic behavior of beam-to-column joints has been studied since 1960’s; however, there is still limited information on eccentric connections, in which the centerline of the spandrel beam does not coincide with the centroid of the column. In this experimental study, the seismic behavior of three 3/4- scale eccentric beam-column-slab subassemblies was investigated. The main design parameters were selected as the eccentricity, normal beam width, and column section aspect ratio. The eccentricity between the centerline of the spandrel beam and centroidal axis of the column was selected as a design variable because some buildings with eccentric spandrel beams exhibited extensive damage during earthquakes and previous tests of planar (two-dimensional) specimens indicated early deterioration of joint shear strength for these types of structures. The main design variable for the column was the section aspect ratio (width vs. depth) to examine if the entire joint region of the rectangular column works under applied shear loading as effectively as a square column. Each specimen was tested twice. First, lateral loading was applied in the plane of the spandrel beam, then the specimen was rotated 90 degrees and the loading was applied in the plane of the normal beam that is perpendicular to the spandrel beam. The major design variable for the normal beam was its width, which was larger than the width of the supporting column for the last test specimen, to investigate the confinement of the joint region provided by the wide normal beams, and the transfer of moment from the wide beam to the column by a previously loaded spandrel beam. The experimental results indicated that when exterior connections have the floor system with slab and beams spanning in two perpendicular directions, the influence of the spandrel beam eccentricity on the seismic behavior of the joint region changes significantly. When the specimens were compared to previous tests, it was observed that the damage in the joint region was not as severe, the specimens have full hysteresis curves with high energy dissipation capacities, and the deterioration of joint shear stiffness and strength were delayed due to the additional torsional stiffness resulting from the use of a floor system.

Experimental investagation of drag reduction effects of polymer additives on turbulent pipe flow Zeybek, Şerife; Uludağ, Yusuf; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) Since the discovery of the drag reduction effects of even small amount of macromolecules in solutions in turbulent pipe flows, there have been many experimental and theoretical studies in order to understand mechanisms behind this phenomenon. Theories have been proposed based on the observations on the change in the characteristics of the turbulent flow near the pipe wall where friction of the momentum transfer between the flow and the conduit takes place. In this study drag reduction in fully developed tur...
Experimental investigation of residual stresses introduced via shot peening and their effect on fatigue life of ball bearings Küçükyılmaz, Ali; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010) In this study, residual stresses introduced via application of shot peening on the raceways of bearing rings and their effect on the fatigue life was investigated experimentally. For improvement of residual compressive stress state, shot peening operation with different parameters was utilized. Residual stress measurements were conducted via X-ray diffraction technique. Optimization of residual stress state during the production of ball bearings is the main target of this study. Process parameters for shot ...
Experimental and computational investigation of crack growth along curved interfaces Yavaş, Denizhan; Çöker, Demirkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) In this study, crack growth along curved weak interfaces is investigated experimentally and computationally. First, delamination of curved composite laminates subjected to axial load is studied computationally. Delamination in curved laminates is modeled using explicit finite element analysis in conjunction with cohesive zone method. It is observed that delamination is highly dynamic and that as the initial crack grows, the crack tip speed reaches the Rayleigh wave speed of the composite material with incre...
Application of non-convex rate dependent gradient plasticity to the modeling and simulation of inelastic microstructure development and inhomogeneous material behavior Klusemann, Benjamin; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M. G. D.; Svendsen, Bob (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) In this study, a two-dimensional rate-dependent gradient crystal plasticity model for non-convex energetic hardening is formulated and applied to the simulation of inelastic microstructure formation. In particular, non-convex hardening is modeled via a Landau-Devonshire potential for self-hardening and two interaction-matrix-based forms for latent hardening. The algorithmic formulation and the numerical implementation treats the displacement and the glide-system slips as the primary field variables. The num...
Experimental and numerical investigation of pressure swirl atomizers Sümer, Bülent; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) In this study, unsteady flows inside a pressure swirl atomizer are investigated using experimental and numerical techniques. High Speed Shadowgraphy Technique is used in order to visualize the flow structures inside the atomizer and the resulting spray at high temporal and spatial resolutions. The images of the air core inside the pressure swirl atomizer and the resulting spray formations are captured at four di erent water flow rates. Then, the time variation of the air core diameter at di erent axial loca...
