Friction mechanism has an extensive usage in many different fields for energy dissipation. It is also used at buildings to reduce the displacement that is caused by ground acceleration during an earthquake. Despite friction damper is a simple device to use on structures, due to its nonlinear characteristic, analysis and design of a structure equipped with a friction damper is difficult. In this paper, Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) is employed to represent the frictional contact as a nonlinear complex stiffness in order to find the steady state displacement of each story of a multi-story building under harmonic ground acceleration. Application of HBM results in a set of nonlinear algebraic equations in frequency domain which can be solved by an iterative method. As a result of this, the solution method presented reduces the computational effort compared to time integration methods; therefore, optimization of friction dampers can be performed in a reasonable time. Accuracy and validation of the presented method is demonstrated on a single-story shear building model equipped with a single friction damper by comparing the frequency domain solution with time marching results. A multi-story building is considered as a case study where the slip force of each dry friction damper is optimized in order to minimize the relative displacement between the stories.

Carbon Coating of magnesium via thermal plasma Aktekin, Burak; Eyövge, Cavit; Öztürk, Tayfur (null; 2018-05-07) Magnesium is a material of considerable interest for electrochemical as well as thermal energy storage. Carbon coated magnesium or magnesium nanopartciles emebedded in a graphitic matrix could provide solutions to some of the problems currently faced in these application areas. The current study was undertaken to develop Mg-C composites at a variety of length scales. The synthesis was achieved by co-feeding magnesium and methane into an RF thermal plasma reactor. This yielded carbonaceous material with magn...
Time varying control of magnetohydrodynamic duct flow Evcin, Cansu; Uğur, Ömür; Tezer, Münevver (2021-09-01) Optimal control of the unsteady, laminar, fully developed flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid is considered under the effect of a time varying magnetic field B0(t) applied in the direction making an angle with the y–axis. Thus, the coefficients of convection terms in the Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations are also time-dependent. The coupled time-dependent MHD equations are solved by using the mixed finite element method (FEM) in space and the implicit Euler scheme in time....
Frequency Modulated Raman Spectroscopy Greco, Silvio; Dal Zilio, Simone; Bek, Alpan; Lazzarino, Marco; Naumenko, Denys (2018-02-01) The coupling of plasmonic and mechanical properties at the nanoscale is of great potential for the development of next generation devices capable to detect weak forces, mass changes, minute displacements and temperature induced effects. Both the transduction of mechanical motion to the scattered light fields in term of polarization or intensity modulation and plasmon-driven mechanical oscillations have already been demonstrated. Quasi static tunable hot spots have recently been designed and applied to surfa...
Frequency domain non-linear modelling and analysis of liquid filled column dampers Kızılay, Hazım Sefa; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (Springer, Cham; 2019-02-20) Tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs) have an extensive usage as an effective vibration absorber to enhance the structure response under the effect of seismic or wind loads. In this study, parameter optimization of nonlinear model of a TLCD in frequency domain under harmonic excitation is proposed in order to improve performance of TLCDs. The non-linearity in the model is due to the head-loss caused by the orifice resulting in velocity squared damping. A 6-story building with a TLCD is considered as a case st...
Energy Dissipation Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Columns under Cyclic Displacements Acun, Bora; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2012-07-01) The energy dissipation capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is investigated under inelastic cyclic displacements. Experimental data are obtained from 20 column specimens tested under constant-amplitude displacement cycles and from three column specimens tested under variable-amplitude displacement cycles. The effect of failure mode, displacement ductility, material properties, and detailing on the energy dissipation capacity of columns is investigated first under constant-amplitude loading. A simple...
