Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Design of Energy Efficient Multi-Haps Assisted Hybrid Rf/Fso Satellite Communication Systems With Optimal Placement(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2025) Ece Turk, Sare; Safahan Ahrazoglu, Evla; Erdogan, Eylem; Altunbas, IbrahimSatellites and high altitude platform station (HAPS) systems are expected to become the key elements of non-terrestrial networks with the recent advances on sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. In this article, motivated by the mounting interest in HAPS systems both from academia and industry, we propose a multi-HAPS aided optical satellite communication architecture using hybrid radio frequency (RF)/free space optical (FSO) communication to provide enhanced throughput, and reliability. The proposed architecture can be used in railways, transcontinental highways or maritime communications to provide enhanced coverage, throughput and reliability. To quantify the overall performance of the proposed scenario, outage probability, ergodic capacity, throughput, energy efficiency are obtained and validated. Additionally, the impact of outdated channel state information and channel estimation errors are considered, severely affecting the system performance by causing signal-to-noise ratio loss and outage floors. Furthermore, we find optimum HAPS distance and obtain the number of HAPS systems that is required for reliable communications. The results show that serial placement of HAPS systems at optimum distances can enhance the system performance and energy efficiency.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Reliability of Corroded Steel Members Subjected To Elastic Lateral Torsional Buckling(Korean Society of Steel Construction, 2021) Uzun, Ertuğrul Türker; Aktaş, EnginStructural steel members are subjected to corrosion due to environmental condition. As a result, there is decreasing in the cross-section properties of the member. This causes different stability problems and reduction in the load carrying capacity of members. Then, the probability of failure, P-f increases due to corrosion. The need arises to determine expected level of safety for such members and systems. Besides, reliability of the steel structure is also effected by the structural stability problems that result decreasing in the resistance. Lateral torsional buckling is one of the most encountered problems in steel members and affected by the critical moment which is a function of lateral and torsional stiffness. Critical moment depends on the material properties, boundary conditions, unbraced length, load pattern, and the member's cross section. Under the corrosion, it is inevitable to observe changing in some of properties. In this study, a damage model to determine the reliability of a corroded I-shape steel member under linear moment gradient is developed considering corrosion exposure time. Uniform and varying thickness loss models are considered to show the corrosion effect. Influence of environmental condition on the load carrying capacity of the members is considered and their effects on member design is evaluated. As a result, it is concluded that load carrying capacity of steel members degrades and safety of them adversely effected. With presented formulas, it is ensured that the load carrying capacity and reliability indices of the steel members can be calculated practically under the examined situations
