This work aims to understand whether the magnitude and time of occurrence of the absolute maximum and maximum oscillatory main rotor blade loads that is achieved in a nonlinear response analysis can be obtained by using a trim method. The latter does not require any controller and it requires less engineering effort and computational time than the former. The comparisons have been made for a pull-up maneuver of a conventional fictitious rotorcraft. Both trim and nonlinear response analyses have been performed by using two different tools, Flightlab ® and Dymore ®. Flightlab modelled a utility helicopter with rigid blades while Dymore modelled the elastic properties of the main rotor to calculate the detailed loads information on the rotor components by using the maneuver response obtained from Flightlab. After comparing the Dymore results, it has been concluded that the trim analysis is able to approximate the nonlinear response analysis for a cyclic pull-up maneuver for static, low-cycle, and high-cycle fatigue analyses of the blades. However, if higher accuracy is required, then nonlinear response analysis should be performed. After comparing the Flightlab results, it has been observed that one can perform nonlinear response analysis only on the critical flight condition(s) and helicopter configuration(s) chosen based on the blade loads obtained from the trim method.

A Model for Vertical-to-Horizontal Response Spectral Ratios for Europe and the Middle East Bommer, Julian J.; Akkar, Dede Sinan; Kale, Ozkan (2011-08-01) In the framework of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, the preferred approach for obtaining the response spectrum of the vertical component of motion is to scale the horizontal spectrum by vertical-to-horizontal (V/H) spectral ratios. In order to apply these ratios to scenario or conditional mean spectra, the V/H ratios need to be defined as a function of variables such as magnitude, distance, and site classification. A new model for the prediction of V/H ratios for peak ground acceleration and spectral...
A variational description of the free and localised states of the acoustic deformation potential polaron Erçelebi, Ayşe Çiğdem (IOP Publishing, 1988-3-30) The ground-state property of the acoustic deformation potential polaron is retrieved variationally in the overall range of the coupling constant. The calculation is based on an appropriate extension of the strong-coupling theory and yields a reasonable description of the free and self-localised states of the coupled electron-lattice system.
A study on uncertainty-based flood analysis Akpınar, Mustafa Berkay; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1) A hydraulic model is a collection of mathematical equations that give a simple representation of reality with the inputs obtained from hydrological assessments to estimate flow, flow depth and velocity in channels. Basically, hydraulic models require digital elevation models, Intensity-Duration-Frequency curves, maximum flows from hydrographs, and roughness coefficients from field studies and/or satellite images. Inherently, these major inputs have uncertainties due to the complex nature of the evalua...
A Numerical Simulation of non-uniform Magnetic Field Effect on Ferrofluid Flow in a Half-Annulus Enclosure with Sinusoidal Hot Wall Oglakkaya, F. S.; Bozkaya, Canan (2016-09-25) In this study, the problem of two-dimensional, laminar ferrofluid flow in a semi-annulus enclosure with sinusoidal hot wall is investigated numerically by using the dual reciprocity boundary element method. The flow is under the influence of a nodal magnetic source placed below the mid of the sinusoidal inner wall. The equations governing the present problem are obtained under the principles of ferrohydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics. The numerical computations are performed for various values of Raylei...
A computational procedure for estimating residual stresses and secondary plastic flow limits in nonlinearly strain hardening rotating shafts Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-03-01) A computational procedure to estimate the residual stress distributions and the limit angular speeds for avoiding secondary plastic deformation in nonlinearly strain hardening rotating elastic-plastic shafts is given. The model is based on von Mises yield condition, J(2) deformation theory and a Swift-type hardening law. The boundary value problem for the governing nonlinear differential equation is solved by a shooting method using Newton iterations with numerically approximated tangent. Solid as well as h...
