Besides the well-known landmark models for the hyperelastic response of rubberlike materials, many new hyperelastic constitutive models have emerged over the last decade. Despite many reviews on constitutive modeling or elastomers, it is still a challenging endeavor for engineers to decide for a constitutive model for the specific rubber compound and application. In this work, we have reviewed 44 hyperelastic constitutive models for elastomers and assessed their strength and weaknesses under uniaxial, pure shear, and (equi)biaxial deformations. To this end, we first present a novel parameter identification methodology based on various multi-objective optimization strategies for the selection of the best constitutive models from a given set of uniaxial tension, pure shear, and (equi)biaxial tension experiments. We utilize a hybrid multi-objective optimization procedure using a genetic algorithm to generate multiple initial points for gradient-based search algorithm, FMINCON utility in MATLAB. The novelty of the approach is (i) simultaneous fitting with variable weight factors for uniaxial, equibiaxial, and pure shear data, and (ii) the sorting of the models based on objective normalized quality of fit metric. For the models incapable of simultaneously fitting the three distinct deformation data, the validity range is assessed through a threshold value for the quality of fit measure. Accordingly, 44 hyperelastic models are sorted with respect to their simultaneous fitting performance to the experimental dataset of Treloar and Kawabata. Based on the number of material parameters, and their fitting performance to experimental data, a detailed discussion is carried out.

On the paradoxical nature of frampton's critical regionalism Kömez Dağlıoğlu, Esin (2019-05-01) The seeds of postmodern architecture were sown in the early 1950s and 1960s when architects, theoreticians and teachers developed new design approaches and pedagogies related to the notion of context in order to heal the ill effects of orthodox modern architecture and planning. Critical Regionalism was suggested as an alternative to postmodern architecture in the 1980s, though it strongly aligns with its original premises on context. To unfold this relation, this paper provides a critical re-reading of Kenn...
A new continuum approach to the coupling of shear yielding and crazing with fracture in glassy polymers SCHANZEL, Lisa; Dal, Hüsnü; Miehe, Christian (2012-03-30) Over the past decades, several constitutive models accounting for finite viscoplasticity and failure in glassy polymers were developed. However, depending on thermal and loading rate conditions, the response might change from ductile to brittle. This brittle response is characterized by inelastically deformed zones, so‐called crazes, having the thickness of micrometers and spanning at some fractions of a millimeter, containing a dense array of fibrils interspersed with elongated voids, detailed discussion e...
Exploring quality issues in building information models via structural design reviews Candir, Esat; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide (2022-11-01) Building Information Models (BIMs) are being used widely in the construction industry. BIMs generally contain errors and mistakes, if not identified, might result in long review processes with the employers or cause issues during code compliance checks or construction. Since the quality requirements vary according to projects and even the stakeholders within the same project, it is challenging to establish a standard quality-check procedure. To focus on the model quality, custom procedures tailored accordin...
Seismic retrofit of buildings with backbone dampers Shaban, Nefize; Ozdemir, Seda; Caner, Alp; Akyüz, Uğurhan (2017-01-01) Dampers have been effectively used in new designs and seismic retrofit of old structures in many parts of the world. The common seismic retrofit practice in Turkey is almost purely based on stiffening the structure with additional shear walls or adding braces to limit the excessive seismic drifts. Such an approach usually results in expensive interior works and enlargements of foundations. The stiffening of the structure typically results in attracting more seismic force. Utilization of dampers as seismic p...
A Method for performance based design exploration : generating external shading units for an office building in Nicosia, Cyprus Burak, Ercan; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2013) Performance based design exploration has been practiced in architectural design for more than four decades. It has been within the scope of the expertise of technical and engineering professionals until now, and has become widely accessible to the architect within the last decade Latest advances in the computational and parametric tools and user interface enhancements in the simulation software has rendered possible the active involvement of the architect into the process. Every design process needs a custo...
