Performance Based Design of Seismic Isolated Bridges in Near-Fault Zones Using Elastic-Gap Devices
Dicleli, Murat (2009-06-28)
This paper investigates the efficiency of using elastic-gap devices (EGDs) to improve the performance of seismic-isolated bridges (SIBs) in near-fault (NF) zones. The EDG is intended to function at two performance levels under service and maximum considered design level (SDL and MCDL) NF earthquakes to reduce isolator displacements (IDs) while keeping the substructure forces (SFs) at reasonable levels. Analyses of structural models of bridges with EGDs revealed that providing EGD is beneficial for decreasin...
Performance improvement of seismic-isolated bridges near active faults using elastic-gap devices
Dicleli, Murat (2017-04-27)
For seismic isolated bridges (SIBs) subjected to near-fault (NF) ground motions with directivity effect, the isolator displacements tend to be considerably large. Consequently, isolators with very large dimensions may be required for SIBs located in NF zones. This may lead to very large expansion joints and very large seat widths as well. In this research, the efficiency of providing supplemental elastic-gap devices to improve the performance of seismic-isolated bridges (SIBs) in near-fault (NF) zones is in...
Performance analysis of grooved heat pipes using 3-D multi-channel thermal resistance network
Sezmen, Ramazan Aykut; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Çetin, Barbaros; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-9)
Heat pipes are phase change heat transfer devices that transfer high amounts of heat with low temperature differences compared to conventional cooling techniques due to their high thermal conductivity. Since heat pipes do not require any external power supply and not involve any moving parts, they are preferred for high reliability applications and in wide range of industrial applications from thermal management of electronics to space applications. Essentially, heat pipes use the advantage of occurring pha...
Performance evaluation and comparison of low voltage grid-tied three-phase AC/DC converter configurations with SI and SIC semiconductor switches
Öztoprak, Oğuzhan; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
In this thesis, as compared to silicon IGBT (Si-IGBT) technology, the advantages of using higher efficiency and faster wide bandgap silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor switches in low voltage three-phase grid-tied PWM DC/AC voltage source converters (VSCs) are investigated in terms of sizing, efficiency and economic considerations for MW-scale photovoltaic power plant applications. As the cost and energy efficiency of a VSC strongly affect the total system economics, this thesis proposes a design methodolog...
