In this article, parametric study is conducted for delamination analysis in composites using three dimensional (3D) solid cohesive elements. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of normal mode fracture energy, stiffness of cohesive elements and element size on the damage initiation and propagation utilizing three dimensional (3D) solid cohesive elements in an implicit finite element analysis framework. Parametric study is conducted for Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) and End Notch Flexure (ENF) specimens in ABAQUS with cohesive zone method (CZM) to model the delamination initiation and propagation. For verification purposes, results of the delamination analyses for Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) and End Notch Flexure (ENF) specimens are compared with the experimental and numerical results available in the literature. The composite layups and cohesive zone are generated with 8 node solid elements. In the literature, 3D solid cohesive elements are generally used in combination with explicit solution model because of better convergence characteristics of the explicit finite element analysis. In this study, a step procedure is used in order to perform the delamination analysis by implicit finite element analysis. The analysis results are seen to be compatible with the available experimental and the numerical results available in the literature.

Three dimensional delamination analysis in composite open hole tensile specimens with cohesive zone method Bartan Kumbasar, Busra; Acar, Bulent; Kayran, Altan (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA; 2016-01-01) In this article, finite element analyses (FEA) are conducted for delamination analysis in composites using three dimensional (3D) solid cohesive elements. The analyses are validated with tests. The main objective of the study is to predict damage initiation and propagation utilizing three dimensional (3D) solid cohesive elements in an implicit finite element analysis framework. First study is conducted for Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) and End Notch Flexure (ENF) specimens in ABAQUS with cohesive zone method...
Probabilistic approach to assess URM walls with openings using discrete rigid block analysis (D-RBA) Pulatsu, Bora; Gonen, Semih; Parisi, Fulvio; Erdogmus, Ece; Tuncay, Kağan; Funari, Marco Francesco; Lourenco, Paulo B. (2022-12-01) This study aims to improve our current understanding of the seismic assessment of load-bearing unreinforced masonry (URM) systems by proposing a probabilistic computational modeling framework using the discrete element method (DEM). The main objective is to predict the structural behavior and capacity of URM walls with openings subjected to lateral loading, considering uncertainties in material properties. The proposed modeling strategy represents masonry as an assembly of rigid blocks interacting along the...
AN ANALYSIS TO IMPROVE STABILITY OF DRIVE-MODE OSCILLATIONS IN CAPACITIVE VIBRATORY MEMS GYROSCOPES Alper, S. E.; Sahin, K.; Akın, Tayfun (2009-01-29) This paper presents an analysis showing that it is possible to determine the factors that limit the stability of drive-mode oscillations of a vibratory MEMS gyroscope with precise modeling. Specifically, unwanted electrical resonance characteristics of the gyroscope drive-mode are analyzed together with analytical expressions, whereas the results of the theoretical analyses are verified both by simulations and measurements, which agree very well. It is demonstrated that the stability of the drive-mode oscil...
Parametric study and design of vivaldi antennas and arrays Erdoğan, Yakup; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this thesis, parametric study and design of Vivaldi antennas and arrays are studied. The parameters of single element antennas and arrays are investigated regarding their effects on the design. The return loss responses and radiation patterns are considered in the parametric study. The results of simulations realized using Ansoft HFSS, a high frequency electromagnetic field simulation program, are shown and discussed. Two different Vivaldi antennas operating in 8.5-10.5 GHz frequency band with return los...
Capturing inelastic coupling of internal forces and exact vibration frequencies for 3 d Timoshenko beam finite elements Soydaş, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin (null; 2016-08-28) A three dimensional (3d) nonlinear frame finite element based on Timoshenko beam theory is presented in this analytical study by utilizing Hu-Washizu principle with displacement, strain and stress independent fields in the variational form. The finite element approximation for the beam uses shape functions for section forces that satisfy equilibrium and discontinuous section deformations along the beam. The element is free from shear-locking, and the superiority of the proposed model is displayed under nonl...
