Widely used design guidelines and specifications provide methods to calculate plastic resistance of end-plates considering yield line mechanisms. Experiments reported to date showed that the ultimate resistance of end-plates can be considerably larger than its plastic resistance due to strain hardening. Using the ultimate strength in design can be a viable and cost-effective option; however, limited studies exist on quantifying the ultimate strength. In this paper, a database of four-bolt extended end-plate moment connections was developed. The capacities of these connections were calculated using AISC Design Guidelines and EN1993-1-8. The results showed that the plastic resistances of connections are on average 29% greater than the capacities calculated using the AISC Design Guidelines. On the other hand, the test-to-predicted ratios were found to have an average of 1.08 for EN1993-1-8. The ratios of the ultimate resistance to the calculated plastic resistance are 2.07 and 1.73 for AISC and European approaches, respectively. A numerical study was undertaken to propose modified design expressions for the plastic resistance which are compatible with AISC Guidelines. Furthermore, the ultimate resistance of end-plates was quantified. Stiffened and unstiffened T-stub models were analyzed using the finite element method. Expressions based on yield line mechanisms were developed to calculate the plastic and ultimate resistance. The evaluations showed that the averages of the test-to-predicted ratios are 1.06 and 1.17 for the plastic and ultimate resistance respectively when the proposed expressions are used.

The method of lines solution of the discrete ordinates method for radiative heat transfer in enclosures Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2000-04-01) A radiation code based on the method of fines (MOL) solution of the discrete ordinates method (DOM) for transient three-dimensional radiative heat transfer in rectangular enclosures for use in conjunction with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on the same approach,vas developed. Assessment of the predictive accuracy of the code by benchmarking its steady-state solutions against exact solutions on one- and three-dimensional test problems shows that the MOL solution of the DOM provides accurate ...
The optimum die profile for the cylindrical bending of plates Oral, S; Darendeliler, Haluk (1997-10-01) This paper presents a methodology for the design of plate-forming dies in cylindrical bending using optimization techniques to reduce the cost of die production by reducing the trial-and-error procedure considerably in determining the final die geometry. The plate thickness is discretized by plane-strain finite-elements. The die is taken to be rigid and its profile is approximated by Bezier curves the control-point coordinates of which are the design variables. The die profile is varied to minimize the diff...
The method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method for radiative heat transfer in cylindrical enclosures Harmandar, S; Selçuk, Nevin (2004-04-01) A radiation code based on method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method for radiative heat transfer in axisymmetric cylindrical enclosures containing absorbing-emitting medium was developed and tested for predictive accuracy by applying it to (i) test problems with black and grey walls (ii) a gas turbine combustor simulator enclosing a non-homogeneous absorbing-emitting medium and benchmarking its steady-state predictions against exact solutions and measurements. Comparisons show that it provides ac...
Analysis of flexible pavements incorporating nonlinear resilient behavior of unbound granular layers Karagöz, Cem; Acar, Soner Osman; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) Traditionally, the resilient modulus values obtained from repeated unconfined or triaxial compression tests are used as the elastic modulus of granular layers in structural analysis of flexible pavements. Sometimes the resilient modulus of granular materials are estimated from known California bearing ratios (CBR) or stabilometer resistance (R) values by simple regression equations. On the other hand, it is well known that stress-strain relation for unbound granular materials is nonlinear and the resilient ...
The Concepts of Sizing and Optimization Model: applied to the Optimal Design of a Permanent Magnet Generator Carlson, Renato; Wurtz, Frederic (2011-09-10) This paper is a methodological contribution in order to characterize two kinds of models that should be used in a complete optimization process of energy conversion systems like motors or actuators. We will indeed introduce the concept of "sizing model", and the concept of "optimization model". We will show also how to use them in a design process in order to produce optimal result that we concatenate in "an optimal design graph". All those methodological results will be illustrated on the optimal design of...
