Seismic behavior of nonstructural components Window glass panels

1995-05-17
Window glass panels respond in two modes during seismic excitation; one "in- plane" and the other "out-of-plane". Simple analytical procedures are developed for calculating out-of plane response of window glass panels mounted inside window frames in relatively rigid structures. The technique is extended to analyse structurally glazed window panels subjected to similar seismic loading 1. Introduction While modern seismic design codes permit some acceptable damage to structural systems which is closely related to their ductility, or deformability under a simulated earthquake, no codes or techniques are enforced to design window glass panels. The damage suffered by the nonstructural elements in

Behaviour of window glass panels during earthquakes
Sucuoğlu, Haluk (1997-08-01)
The seismic behaviour of window glass panels is investigated. Glass damage observed in past earthquakes and previous research on the seismic performance of glass components are reviewed, Seismic design code procedures proposed for mitigating the damage sustained by glass components are evaluated. Analytical procedures are developed for calculating the in-plane deformation capacity and out-of-plane resistance of window glass panels subjected to seismic excitation. Simple practical procedures are proposed for...
Electrical transport at a non-ideal CrSi2-Si junction
Anilturk, OS; Turan, Raşit (2000-01-01)
Electrical transport through a CrSi2/n-Si Schottky junction was investigated by internal photo emission spectroscopy and electrical current-voltage (I-V) techniques in a wide temperature range. When the thermionic emission theory is used in its common form the apparent barrier height is found to be strongly temperature dependent. Internal photoemission measurements yielded a barrier height weakly temperature dependent for these samples. This difference between optical and electrical results shows that the o...
Seismic behavior of vertical reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) panel walls
Taghipour, Armin; Canbay, Erdem; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
In this study, the in-plane seismic behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) vertical load-bearing wall panels is examined. Because of the complex behavior of AAC shear walls under cyclic lateral loading and axial load, the design provisions are fundamentally important. The main objective of this study is to validate proposed design provisions for AAC structures in Turkey. Six specimens with different properties and geometries were constructed and tested at Structural Mechanics Laboratory of METU. Mech...
Plasmon lifetime enhancement in a bright-dark mode coupled system
Yildiz, Bilge Can; Bek, Alpan; TAŞGIN, MEHMET EMRE (2020-01-16)
Metallic nanoparticles can localize the incident light to hot spots as plasmon oscillations, where the intensity can be enhanced by up to four orders of magnitude. Even though the lifetime of plasmons is typically short, it can be increased via interactions with quantum emitters, e.g., spaser nanolasers. However, molecules can bleach in days. Here, we study the lifetime enhancement of plasmon excitations due to the coupling with longer-lifetime dark plasmon modes. We apply an analytical model based on harmo...
Electromagnetic optimization of corrugated metallic sheets for maximum power focusing
Altinoklu, Askin; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
We present full-wave electromagnetic optimization of corrugated metallic sheets to achieve maximum power focusing at desired locations when illuminated by plane waves. The corrugations are freely applied by moving the discretization nodes, leading to huge optimization spaces that are scanned by employing genetic algorithms. The required simulations are performed accurately and efficiently via the method of moments or the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Hundreds of thousands of simulations are performed...
