We present a local ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) for estimating the peak ground-motion values that was derived using the recently compiled Turkish strong motion database. The new GMPE is comparable with the recent global GMPEs in terms of model sophistication and quality of underlying database. Using this equation, we explore the inter-event, inter-station ground motion variability of the recent Turkish strong motion database as well as suitability of some local and global GMPEs for regional seismic hazard assessment analyses. The inter-event error underlines the distinguishing characteristics of few earthquakes, suggesting that the use of local GMPEs can be important especially when specific scenario studies are to be carried out. The inter-station variability allowed us to detect stations with outlier site response and to investigate the goodness of the employed site effects model. Results also indicate suitability of some global and local GMPEs for use in regional seismic hazard assessments together with the model presented in this study. These should be combined through a logic tree scheme to reduce both aleatory and epistemic uncertainty in local hazard assessments.

A Model for Vertical-to-Horizontal Response Spectral Ratios for Europe and the Middle East Bommer, Julian J.; Akkar, Dede Sinan; Kale, Ozkan (2011-08-01) In the framework of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, the preferred approach for obtaining the response spectrum of the vertical component of motion is to scale the horizontal spectrum by vertical-to-horizontal (V/H) spectral ratios. In order to apply these ratios to scenario or conditional mean spectra, the V/H ratios need to be defined as a function of variables such as magnitude, distance, and site classification. A new model for the prediction of V/H ratios for peak ground acceleration and spectral...
An analysis of a linearly extrapolated BDF2 subgrid artificial viscosity method for incompressible flows Demir, Medine (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) This report extends the mathematical support of a subgrid artificial viscosity (SAV) method to simulate the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to better performing a linearly extrapolated BDF2 (BDF2LE) time discretization. The method considers the viscous term as a combination of the vorticity and the grad-div stabilization term. SAV method introduces global stabilization by adding a term, then anti-diffuses through the extra mixed variables. We present a detailed analysis of conservation laws, includin...
A First-Order Linear Model for the Estimation of Detonation Velocity Türker, Burhan Lemi (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) A linear multivariable model has been derived for the estimation of detonation velocity. Then, its two simplified forms, first-order linear models, have been proposed as estimators of detonation velocities of a large population of explosives having different skeletal structures. Then, the models are analyzed mathematically and regression equations are obtained and discussed. The first model possesses two independent variables E/M and density, whereas the second one is based on E/M only. The total energy (E)...
A model for predicting vertical component peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and 5% damped pseudospectral acceleration (PSA) for Europe and the Middle East Ertuğrul, Zehra; Kale, Ozkan; SANDIKKAYA, MUSTAFA ABDULLAH (2017-07-01) In this study, we present a ground-motion model for the vertical component of peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, and 5% damped pseudo acceleration response spectra at periods ranging from 0.01 to 4 s. The vertical model is based on the ground-motion models previously developed for the horizontal component and vertical-to-horizontal ratio of ground motion by Akkar et al. (Bull Earthq Eng 12:359-387, 2014a; 517-547, 2014b) rather than on an independent regression analysis of strong-motion data av...
A Variational Measurement Update for Extended Target Tracking With Random Matrices Orguner, Umut (2012-07-01) This correspondence proposes a new measurement update for extended target tracking under measurement noise when the target extent is modeled by random matrices. Compared to the previous measurement update developed by Feldmann et al., this work follows a more rigorous path to derive an approximate measurement update using the analytical techniques of variational Bayesian inference. The resulting measurement update, though computationally more expensive, is shown via simulations to be better than the earlier...
