Hysteretic dampers in bridges with seismically isolated decks are usually coupled with shock transmitters in order to prevent their engagement during thermal displacements of the deck. An alternative design approach is presented in this paper where the dampers are attached to the deck using elongated holes (gaps) which are sized to accommodate the thermal displacements and hence to keep the dampers from being activated during thermal displacements. The gaps are sized based on the expected maximum thermal displacement in each pier. The gap length will thus be different for different piers. With this arrangement, number of the dampers engaged during an earthquake will depend on the magnitude of displacements. The distinct feature in this design is: (i) preventing the engagement of dampers under thermal displacements during service life without using shock transmitters and (ii) sequential engagement of dampers as a function of magnitude of seismically-induced displacements. This paper presents a sample application of this methodology in design of a major viaduct. The performance goals of the bridge require no damage at 475-year return period earthquake and repairable damage at 2475-year return period earthquake. The bridge is designed with a seismic isolation system composed of spherical bearings and hysteretic dampers (Multidirectional torsional hysteretic damper (MTHD)). Design features of this seismically isolated bridge and results of nonlinear time-history analyses are presented in this paper.

EFFECTS OF PIN FIN SHAPE AND SIZE ON TURBINE BLADE TRAILING EDGE FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER Tuncel, Tugba; Kahveci, Harika Senem (2019-01-01) In modern turbine blades, pressure-side cutbacks with film-cooling slots stiffened with lands and pin fins that are embedded in passages are used to cool trailing edges. There are many studies that have investigated these cooling configurations from a thermal perspective, while only a limited number have been concerned with the aerodynamic aspects. This study presents a thorough computational investigation of a film-cooling configuration to determine the optimum combination of shape and size of pin arrays. ...
DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK BASED DESIGN TOOL FOR AIRCRAFT ENGINE BOLTED FLANGE CONNECTION SUBJECT TO COMBINED AXIAL AND MOMENT LOAD Sanli, T. Volkan; Gürses, Ercan; Çöker, Demirkan; Kayran, Altan (2017-11-09) Bolted flange connections are one of the most commonly used joint types in aircraft structures. Typically, bolted flange connections are used in aircraft engines. The main duty of a bolted flange connection in an aircraft engine is to serve as the load transfer interface from one part of the engine to the other part of the engine. In aircraft structures, weight is a very critical parameter which has to be minimized while having the required margin of safety for the structural integrity. Therefore, optimum d...
Design and analysis of antennas mounted on cylinders for avionics applications Özcan, Mustafa; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) Conformal antenna structures are widely used in airframes because of not disturbing the aerodynamic characteristics. In this study, stripline fed conformal slot antennas of rectangular and rounded bow-tie shaped geometries, and coplanar patch antennas are designed to comply with the design requirements of a telemetry application in the frequency band of 2225-2275 MHz. Furthermore, parametric studies are carried out for some crucial design parameters in order to understand the relation between the antenna ph...
Design of a grid fin aerodynamic control device for transonic flight regime Dikbaş, Erdem; Sert, Cüneyt; Baran, Özgür Uğraş; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) Grid fins is unconventional control devices and they are used for aerodynamic control of various types of missiles. Low hinge moment requirement and superior packaging possibilities make grid fins attractive when compared to conventional planar fins. However, design of grid fins is more involved when transonic flight regime is considered. The reason for this is high drag force encountered by the grid fin. The purpose of the thesis is to overcome this drawback and to define a proper design methodology for tr...
