Yayın Waves in an elastic tube filled with a heterogeneous fluid of variable viscosity(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-07) Demiray, HilmiBy treating the artery as a prestressed thin elastic tube and the blood as an incompressible heterogeneous fluid with variable viscosity. we studied the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in such a composite medium through the use of reductive perturbation method. By assuming a variable density and a variable viscosity for blood in the radial direction we obtained the perturbed Korteweg-deVries equation as the evolution equation when the viscosity is of order of epsilon(3/2). We observed that the perturbed character is the combined result of the viscosity and the heterogeneity of the blood. A progressive wave type of solution is presented for the evolution equation and the result is discussed. The numerical results indicate that for a certain value of the density parameter sigma, the wave equation loses its dispersive character and the evolution equation degenerates. It is further shown that, for the perturbed KdV equation both the amplitude and the wave speed decay in the time parameter tau.Yayın Precursors of instability in a natural slope due to rainfall: a full-scale experiment(Springer Heidelberg, 2018-09) Askarinejad, Amin; Akça, Mehmet Devrim; Springman, Sarah MarcellaA full-scale landslide-triggering experiment was conducted on a natural sandy slope subjected to an artificial rainfall event, which resulted in mobilisation of 130m(3) of soil mass. Novel slope deformation sensors (SDSs) were applied to monitor the subsurface pre-failure movements and the precursors of the artificially triggered landslide. These fully automated sensors are more flexible than the conventional inclinometers by several orders of magnitude and therefore are able to detect fine movements (<1mm) of the soil mass reliably. Data from high-frequency measurements of the external bending work, indicating the transmitted energy from the surrounding soil to these sensors, pore water pressure at various depths, horizontal soil pressure and advanced surface monitoring techniques, contributed to an integrated analysis of the processes that led to triggering of the landslide. Precursors of movements were detected before the failure using the horizontal earth pressure measurements, as well as surface and subsurface movement records. The measurements showed accelerating increases of the horizontal earth pressure in the compression zone of the unstable area and external bending work applied to the slope deformation sensors. These data are compared to the pore water pressure and volumetric water content changes leading to failure.Yayın Uni-axial behavior of energy dissipative steel cushions(Techno Press, 2018-06-25) Özkaynak, Hasan; Khajehdehi, Arastoo; Güllü, Ahmet; Azizisales, Faraz; Yüksel, Ercan; Karadoğan, Hüseyin FarukSeismic excitations may impart a significant amount of energy into structures. Modern structural design attitudes tend to absorb some part of this energy through special dissipaters instead of heavy plastic deformations on the structural members. Different types of dissipater have been generated and utilized in various types of structures in last few decades. The expected earthquake damage is mainly concentrated on these devices and they may be replaced after earthquakes. In this study, a low-cost device called energy dissipative steel cushion (EDSC) made of flat mild steel was developed and tested in the Structural and Earthquake Engineering Laboratory (STEELab) of Istanbul Technical University (ITU). The monotonic and cyclic tests of EDSC were performed in transversal and longitudinal directions discretely. Very large deformation capability and stable hysteretic behavior are some response properties observed from the tests. Load vs. displacement relations, hysteretic energy dissipation properties as well as the closed form equations to predict the behavior parameters are presented in this paper.Yayın On the existence of some evolution equations in fluid-filled elastic tubes and their progressive wave solutions(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd., 2004-09) Demiray, HilmiIn the present work, by employing the nonlinear equations of motion of an incompressible, isotropic and prestressed thin elastic tube and the approximate equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid, we studied the existence of some possible evolution equations in the longwave approximation and their progressive wave solutions. It is shown that, depending on the set of values of the initial deformation, it might be possible to obtain the conventional Korteweg-deVries (KdV) and the modified KdV equations of various forms. Finally, a set of progressive wave solutions is presented for such evolution equations.Yayın Weakly nonlinear waves in a viscous fluid contained in a viscoelastic tube with variable cross-section(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2005-03) Demiray, HilmiIn the present work, treating the arteries as a thin walled prestressed viscoelastic tube with variable cross-section, and using the longwave approximation, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled viscoelastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible viscous fluid, depending on the order of various physical entities, various evolution equations with variable coefficients are obtained and progressive wave solutions to these evolution equations are given whenever possible. It is shown that this type of equations admit solitary wave type of solutions with variable wave speeds.Yayın Localized travelling waves in a prestressed thick elastic tube(Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2001-10) Demiray, HilmiIn the present work, by using the exact non-linear equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid contained in a prestressed thick elastic tube, the propagation of localized travelling wave solution in such a medium is investigated. Employing the hyperbolic tangent method and considering the long-wave limit, we showed that the lowest-order term in the perturbation expansion gives a solitary wave equivalent to the localized travelling wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation. The progressive wave type of solution is also sought for the second-order terms in the perturbation expansion. The correction terms in the speed of propagation are obtained as part of the solution of perturbation equations.Yayın The dynamic response of an incompressible non-linearly elastic membrane tube subjected to a dynamic extension(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-06) Tüzel, Vasfiye Hande; Erbay, Hüsnü AtaThe dynamic response of an isotropic hyperelastic membrane tube, subjected to a dynamic extension at its one end, is studied. In the first part of the paper, an asymptotic expansion technique is used to derive a non-linear membrane theory for finite axially symmetric dynamic deformations of incompressible non-linearly elastic circular cylindrical tubes by starting from the three-dimensional elasticity theory. The equations governing dynamic axially symmetric deformations of the membrane tube are obtained for an arbitrary form of the strain-energy function. In the second part of the paper, finite amplitude wave propagation in an incompressible hyperelastic membrane tube is considered when one end is fixed and the other is subjected to a suddenly applied dynamic extension. A Godunov-type finite volume method is used to solve numerically the corresponding problem. Numerical results are given for the Mooney-Rivlin incompressible material. The question how the present numerical results are related to those obtained in the literature is discussed.Yayın Spatial slip behavior of large strike-slip fault belts: Implications for the Holocene slip rates of the eastern termination of the North Anatolian Fault, Turkey(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015-12) Zabcı, Cengiz; Sançar, Taylan; Akyüz, Hüsnü Serdar; Güneç Kıyak, NafiyeWe present new data on Holocene slip rates for the eastern end of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) by using the optically stimulated luminescence ages of the offset terrace deposits at two sites, where a total of four displaced landforms was studied. Each offset feature was analyzed independently, and three different assumptions were made for all the offsets, depending on whether the age of the upper tread (upper tread reconstruction), the lower tread (lower tread reconstruction), or all bounding surfaces (intermediate solution) were used in dating of the terrace risers. The deflected geometry of the risers strongly suggests the use of either the intermediate solution or the upper tread reconstruction. The joint slip rate distributions for the upper tread reconstructions and the intermediate solutions were modeled as 13.0 + 1.8 / -1.4 and 14.3 + 5.8 / -2.4 mm/yr (2?), respectively. Although the intermediate solution covers the full range of ages for the measured displacements, the curved geometry of the terrace risers suggests that the initiations of the riser offsets are most probably close to the abandonment ages of the upper terrace treads. Therefore, we accepted the joint slip rate of the intermediate solution but suggested that the average rate for the main displacement zone of the eastern NAF should be close to its lower limits. This slower rate with respect to previous estimates suggests that the total deformation is not only accommodated on the main displacement zone but is also distributed along the secondary faults to the south of the easternmost segments of the NAF.Yayın Investigating effects of milling conditions on cutting temperatures through analytical and experimental methods(Elsevier Science SA, 2018-12) Karagüzel, Umut; Budak, ErhanCutting temperatures in milling operations have a significant impact on tool wear, size and shape tolerances and residual stresses of the machined part. Prediction and measurement of cutting temperatures in milling, on the other hand, have some challenges due to the rotary tools resulting in an intermittent process and transient thermal loadings. In this study, novel approaches are presented to model and measure the cutting tool temperature variations during milling. The model is used to predict effects of milling conditions on cutting temperatures particularly to determine a relationship between tool temperature and radial depth of cut. The model predictions are verified by measurements obtained from the developed measurement technique and the literature data.
