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, one-parameter Lie group point scaling transformations required to physically scale the transport process without scaling the sediment material properties are investigated. By applying the Lie group scaling method to the governing equations for one-dimensional non-equilibrium bedload sediment transport, a simplified approach to bedload sediment transport modeling is sought. The proposed scaling approach carries the advantage of identifying the self-similarity conditions due to the initial and boundary conditions of the corresponding initial and boundary value problem along with those due to the governing equations, expanding scaling of transport to unsteady, non-equilibrium conditions.

Evaluation of Hypersingular Integrals on Curvilinear Surface Elements Selcuk, Gokhun; Koç, Seyit Sencer (2016-04-15) In this study finite part integrals are utilized for evaluation of hypersingular and nearly-hypersingular surface integrals on curvilinear elements. These integrals are related to the second derivative of the free space Green' function and arise in the solution of electric field integral equation (EFIE) via locally corrected Nystriim (LCN) method. The curvilinear elements are represented by the Taylor series expansion of the surface function around the observation point. The hypersingular integral, defined ...
Investigation of the Applicability of AASHTO LRFD Live Load Distribution equations for Integral Bridge Substructures Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2009-08-01) In this study, applicability of the AASHTO LRFD girder live load distribution equations (LLDEs) for integral bridge (IB) abutments and piles is investigated. For this Purpose, numerous 3-D and corresponding 2-D structural models of typical IBs are built and analyzed under AASHTO LRFD live load. In the analyses, the effect of various superstructure properties such as span length, slab thickness, girder spacing and stiffness are considered. The results from the 2-D and 3-D analyses are then used to calculate ...
Analysis of Evolving Deformation Microstructures in Instable Inelastic Solids Based on Energy Relaxation Methods Gürses, Ercan (null; 2004-08-21) An incremental variational formulation for the constitutive response of dissipative materialsis applied to the stability analysis of inelastic solids. The material stability is governed by weak convexity properties of an incremental stress potential obtained from a local minimization problem. As a result of instability deformation microstructures develop and are resolved by energy relaxation methods. We develop relaxation analyses in terms of rank–one convexifications and make comparisons of results obtaine...
Measurement of the differential cross sections for top quark pair production as a function of kinematic event variables in pp collisions at root s=7 and 8 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (American Physical Society (APS), 2016-09-01) Measurements are reported of the normalized differential cross sections for top quark pair production with respect to four kinematic event variables: the missing transverse energy; the scalar sum of the jet transverse momentum (p(T)); the scalar sum of the pT of all objects in the event; and the pT of leptonically decaying W bosons from top quark decays. The data sample, collected using the CMS detector at the LHC, consists of 5.0 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV and 19.7 fb(-1) at root ...
A procedure on ground motion selection and scaling for nonlinear response of simple structural systems Ay, Bekir Özer (2012-10-01) This study presents a ground-motion selection and scaling methodology that preserves the basic seismological features of the scaled records with reduced scatter in the nonlinear structural response. The methodology modifies each strong-motion recording with known fundamental seismological parameters using the estimations of ground-motion prediction equations for a given target hazard level. It provides robust estimations on target building response through scaled ground motions and calculates the dispersion...
