    Nonlinear Finite Element Modeling of Reinforced Concrete Structures Under Impact Loads
    (American Concrete Institute, 2009) Saatçi, Selçuk; Saatcı, Selçuk; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The methods available in the literature for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to impact loads generally exhibit some deficiencies in aspects relating to applicability, practicality, and accuracy. The shear-dominant behavior of RC members under impact loads creates another significant shortcoming, because modeling the shear behavior of RC has long been a challenging issue. This study aims to present and verify a nonlinear finite element analysis procedure employing the Disturbed Stress Field Model, based on a smeared rotating crack approach, as an advanced method of modeling shear behavior under impact conditions. The proposed methodology has a wide range of applicability, and displays fast solution time while providing extensive and accurate information on structural behavior. The methodology was tested by analyzing a set of RC beams subjected to impact loads. A high level of accuracy was demonstrated in various comparisons between test and analysis results, including peak and residual displacements, crack profiles, and reinforcement strains.

    Calcined and Natural Frustules Filled Epoxy Matrices: the Effect of Volume Fraction on the Tensile and Compression Behavior
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Gültürk, Elif; Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, Mustafa; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The effects of calcined diatom (CD) and natural diatom (ND) frustules filling (0–12 vol.%) on the quasistatic tensile and quasi-static and high strain rate compression behavior of an epoxy matrix were investigated experimentally. The high strain rate testing of frustules-filled and neat epoxy samples was performed in a compression Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar set-up. The frustules filling increased the stress values at a constant strain and decreased the tensile failure strains of the epoxy matrix. Compression tests results showed that frustules filling of epoxy increased both elastic modulus and yield strength values at quasi-static and high strain rates. While, a higher strengthening effect and strain rate sensitivity were found with ND frustules filling. Microscopic observations revealed two main compression deformation modes at quasi-static strain rates: the debonding of the frustules from the epoxy and/or crushing of the frustules. However, the failure of the filled composites at high strain rates was dominated by the fracture of epoxy matrix.
