© 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LondonSeveral cycle counting methods exist in the literature for the study of fatigue damage generated in structures. Level Crossing, Peak, Simple range and Rainflow counting methods are those using the stress and deformation range to count the number of cycles. Close examination of the existing field measurement data for integral bridges revealed that the measured cyclic strains in steel H-piles consists of large amplitude, primary small amplitude and secondary small amplitude cycles. However, the above mentioned cycle counting methods do not take into consideration the primary and secondary small amplitude strain cycles. Because of the fact that these small strain cycles are part of the low-cycle fatigue effects on steel H piles, a new cycle counting method is developed. The developed cycle counting method is then used to estimate the number of large amplitude strain cycles per year due to seasonal temperature changes and the number and relative amplitude (relative to the amplitude of large amplitude strain cycles) of primary small amplitude strain cycles and secondary small amplitude strain cycles per year due to daily or weekly temperature changes. Then, using the available experimental data, an equation is developed to estimate the fatigue life of integral bridge steel H-piles as a function of the number and amplitude of large, primary small and secondary small amplitude strain cycles. It is observed that small amplitude thermal-induced strain cycles have only a negligible effect on the fatigue life of steel H-piles at the abutments of integral bridges. This is also verified experimentally.

Proposed cycle counting method to estimate fatigue damage in integral bridge steel h-piles Dicleli, Murat (2018-08-03) Several cycle counting methods exist in the literature for the study of fatigue damage generated in structures. Level Crossing, Peak, Simple range and Rainflow counting methods are those using the stress and deformation range to count the number of cycles. Close examination of the existing field measurement data for integral bridges revealed that the measured cyclic strains in steel H-piles consists of large amplitude, primary small amplitude and secondary small amplitude cycles. However, the above mentione...
Investigations of Self-Similarity and Scale Invariance of One-Dimensional Unsteady Bedload Transport Carr, K.J.; Ercan, Ali; Kavvas, M.L. (2016-01-01) Self-similarity conditions and scale invariance of unsteady one-dimensional bedload sediment transport are investigated through the application of the one-parameter Lie group of point scaling transformations. Determining the suitability of scaling bedload transport equations has been plagued by empiricism. Two bedload transport equations are investigated to determine a representation of the transport regime that will be self-similar and scale invariant at a variety of different scaled domains. Furthermore, ...
Determination of the Strange-Quark Density of the Proton from ATLAS Measurements of the W -> lv and Z -> ll Cross Sections Aad, G.; et. al. (2012-07-05) AQCD analysis is reported of ATLAS data on inclusive W-+/- and Z boson production in pp collisions at the LHC, jointly with ep deep-inelastic scattering data from HERA. The ATLAS data exhibit sensitivity to the light quark sea composition and magnitude at Bjorken x similar to 0:01. Specifically, the data support the hypothesis of a symmetric composition of the light quark sea at low x. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea quark distributions is determined to be 1:00(-0:28)(+0.25) at absolute four-momentum t...
Modeling dense water mass formation and winter circulation in the northern and central Adriatic Sea Bergamasco, A; Oguz, T; Malanotte-Rizzoli, P (1999-04-01) In this paper, using an eddy resolving primitive equation model, we attempt to provide quantitative answers to some of the still unresolved or poorly understood dynamical issues related to the general circulation of the northern and central Adriatic Sea. The first question we addressed relates to understanding the effects of the major driving mechanisms on the basin circulation. A series of numerical experiments are carried out to examine the circulation produced by various combinations of different forcing...
Calculation of the thermodynamic quantities of perovskite metal organics DMAKCr and perovskite HyFe close to the weakly first-order relaxor-like structural transformation using the mean field theory Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2019-04-30) Weakly first-order or nearly second-order phase transitions occurring in metal{organic frameworks (MOFs), particularly in DMAKCr and perovskite HyFe, are studied under the mean field model by using the observed data from the literature. In this work, mainly thermal and magnetic properties among various physical properties which have been reported in the literature for those MOFs are studied by the mean field theory. By expanding the free energy in terms of the magnetization (order parameter), the excess hea...
