    Fatigue Life Prediction and Optimization of Gfrp Composites Based on Failure Tensor Polynomial in Fatigue Model With Exponential Fitting Approach
    (SAGE Publications, 2022) Güneş, Mehmet Deniz; İmamoğlu Karabaş, Neslişah; Deveci, Hamza Arda; Tanoğlu, Gamze; Tanoğlu, Metin
    In this study, a new fatigue life prediction and optimization strategy utilizing the Failure Tensor Polynomial in Fatigue (FTPF) model with exponential fitting and numerical bisection method for fiber reinforced polymer composites has been proposed. Within the experimental stage, glass/epoxy composite laminates with (Formula presented.), (Formula presented.), and (Formula presented.) lay-up configurations were fabricated, quasi-static and fatigue mechanical behavior of GFRP composites was characterized to be used in the FTPF model. The prediction capability of the FTPF model was tested based on the experimental data obtained for multidirectional laminates of various composite materials. Fatigue life prediction results of the glass/epoxy laminates were found to be better as compared to those for the linear fitting predictions. The results also indicated that the approach with exponential fitting provides better fatigue life predictions as compared to those obtained by linear fitting, especially for glass/epoxy laminates. Moreover, an optimization study using the proposed methodology for fatigue life advancement of the glass/epoxy laminates was performed by a powerful hybrid algorithm, PSA/GPSA. So, two optimization scenarios including various loading configurations were considered. The optimization results exhibited that the optimized stacking sequences having maximized fatigue life can be obtained in various loading cases. It was also revealed that the tension-compression loading and the loadings involving shear loads are critical for fatigue, and further improvement in fatigue life may be achieved by designing only symmetric lay-ups instead of symmetric-balanced and diversification of fiber angles to be used in the optimization.

    A Reliable Explicit Method To Approximate the General Type of the Kdv–burgers’ Equation
    (Springer, 2022) Korkut, Sıla Övgü; İmamoğlu Karabaş, Neslişah
    This study aims to propose a reliable, accurate, and efficient numerical approximation for a general compelling partial differential equation including nonlinearity (uδ∂u∂x), dissipation (∂2u∂x2), and dispersion (∂3u∂x3) which arises in many fields of engineering as well as applied sciences. The novel proposed method has been developed combining a kind of mesh-free method called the Taylor wavelet method with the Euler method. The convergence result of the method has been presented theoretically. Moreover, the validation and applicability of the method have been also confirmed computationally on benchmark problems such as KdV–Burgers’ equation and modified-KdV equation. The numerical results have been compared both to the exact solution and to those in the existing literature. All presented figures and tables guarantee that the proposed method is highly accurate, efficient, and compatible with the nature of the specified equation physically. Furthermore, the recorded errors are evidence that the proposed method is the best approximation compared to those in the existing methods.

    Well Posedness Conditions for Planar Conewise Linear Systems
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2019) Şahan, Gökhan; Eldem, Vasfi
    In this study, we give well-posedness conditions for planar conewise linear systems where the vector field is not necessarily continuous. It is further shown that, for a certain class of planar conewise linear systems, well posedness is independent of the conic partition of R-2. More specifically, the system is well posed for any conic partition of R-2.

    Boosting the Decay of Solutions of the Linearised Korteweg-De Vries–burgers Equation To a Predetermined Rate From the Boundary
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019) Özsarı, Türker; Arabacı, Eda
    The aim of this article is to extend recent results on the boundary feedback controllability of the Korteweg-de Vries equation to the Korteweg-de Vries–Burgers equation which is posed on a bounded domain. In the first part of the paper, it is proven that all the sufficiently small solutions can be steered to zero at any desired exponential rate by means of a suitably constructed boundary feedback controller. In the second part, an observer is proposed when a type of boundary measurement is available while there is no full access to the medium.

    Pseudo-Multi Functions for the Stabilization of Convection-Diffusion Equations on Rectangular Grids
    (Begell House Inc., 2013) Neslitürk, Ali İhsan; Baysal, Onur
    We propose a finite element method of Petrov-Galerkin type for a singularly perturbed convection diffusion problem on a discretization consisting of rectangular elements. The method is based on enriching the finite-element space with a combination of multiscale and residual-free bubble functions. These functions require the solution of the original differential problem, which makes the method quite expensive, especially in two dimensions. Therefore, we instead employ their cheap, yet efficient approximations, using only a few nodes in each element. Several numerical tests confirm the good performance of the corresponding numerical method.

    Linear Wave Interaction With a Vertical Cylinder of Arbitrary Cross Section: an Asymptotic Approach
    (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017) Dişibüyük, Nazile Buğurcan; Korobkin, A. A.; Yılmaz, Oğuz
    An asymptotic approach to the linear problem of regular water waves interacting with a vertical cylinder of an arbitrary cross section is presented. The incident regular wave was one-dimensional, water was of finite depth, and the rigid cylinder extended from the bottom to the water surface. The nondimensional maximum deviation of the cylinder cross section from a circular one plays the role of a small parameter of the problem. A fifth-order asymptotic solution of the problem was obtained. The problems at each order were solved by the Fourier method. It is shown that the first-order velocity potential is a linear function of the Fourier coefficients of the shape function of the cylinder, the second-order velocity potential is a quadratic function of these coefficients, and so on. The hydrodynamic forces acting on the cylinder and the water surface elevations on the cylinder are presented. The present asymptotic results show good agreement with numerical and experimental results of previous investigations. Long-wave approximation of the hydrodynamic forces was derived and used for validation of the asymptotic solutions. The obtained values of the forces are exact in the limit of zero wave numbers within the linear wave theory. An advantage of the present approach compared with the numerical solution of the problem by an integral equation method is that it provides the forces and the diffracted wave field in terms of the coefficients of the Fourier series of the deviation of the cylinder shape from the circular one. The resulting asymptotic formula can be used for optimization of the cylinder shape in terms of the wave loads and diffracted wave fields.

    Recursion Formula for the Green's Function of a Hamiltonian for Several Types of Dirac Delta-Function Potentials in Curved Spaces
    (TUBITAK, 2016) Erman, Fatih
    In this short article, we nonperturbatively derive a recursive formula for the Green's function associated with finitely many point Dirac delta potentials in one dimension. We extend this formula to the one for the Dirac delta potentials supported by regular curves embedded in two-dimensional manifolds and for the Dirac delta potentials supported by two-dimensional compact manifolds embedded in three-dimensional manifolds. Finally, this formulation allows us to find the recursive formula of the Green's function for the point Dirac delta potentials in two- and three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, where the renormalization of coupling constant is required.

    Neat-Flat Modules
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016) Büyükaşık, Engin; Durğun, Yılmaz
    Let R be a ring. A right R-module M is said to be neat-flat if the kernel of any epimorphism Y → M is neat in Y, i.e., the induced map Hom(S, Y) → Hom(S, M) is surjective for any simple right R-module S. Neat-flat right R-modules are projective if and only if R is a right (Formula presented.) -CS ring. Every cyclic neat-flat right R-module is projective if and only if R is right CS and right C-ring. It is shown that, over a commutative Noetherian ring R, (1) every neat-flat module is flat if and only if every absolutely coneat module is injective if and only if R ≅ A × B, wherein A is a QF-ring and B is hereditary, and (2) every neat-flat module is absolutely coneat if and only if every absolutely coneat module is neat-flat if and only if R ≅ A × B, wherein A is a QF-ring and B is Artinian with J 2(B) = 0.

    The Initial Stage of Dam-Break Flow
    (Springer Verlag, 2009) Korobkin, Alexandre; Yılmaz, Oğuz
    The liquid flow and the free surface shape during the initial stage of dam breaking are investigated. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to derive the leading-order uniform solution of the classical dam-break problem. The asymptotic analysis is performed with respect to a small parameter which characterizes the short duration of the stage under consideration. The second-order outer solution is obtained in the main flow region. This solution is not valid in a small vicinity of the intersection point between the initially vertical free surface and the horizontal rigid bottom. The dimension of this vicinity is estimated with the help of a local analysis of the outer solution close to the intersection point. Stretched local coordinates are used in this vicinity to resolve the flow singularity and to derive the leading-order inner solution, which describes the formation of the jet flow along the bottom. It is shown that the inner solution is self-similar and the corresponding boundary-value problem can be reduced to the well-known Cauchy-Poisson problem for water waves generated by a given pressure distribution along the free surface. An analysis of the inner solution reveals the complex shape of the jet head, which would be difficult to simulate numerically. The asymptotic solution obtained is expected to be helpful in the analysis of developed gravity-driven flows.

    Power-Series Solution for the Two-Dimensional Inviscid Flow With a Vortex and Multiple Cylinders
    (Springer Verlag, 2009) Pashaev, Oktay; Yılmaz, Oğuz
    The problem of a point vortex and N fixed cylinders in a two-dimensional inviscid fluid is studied and an analytical-numerical solution in the form of an infinite power series for the velocity field is obtained using complex analysis. The velocity distribution for the case of two cylinders is compared with the existing results of the problem of a vortex in an annular region which is conformally mapped onto the exterior of two cylinders. Limiting cases of N cylinders and the vortex, being far away from each other are studied. In these cases, "the dipole approximation" or "the point-island approximation" is derived, and its region of validity is established by numerical tests. The velocity distribution for a geometry of four cylinders placed at the vertices of a square and a vortex is presented. The problem of vortex motion with N cylinders addressed in the paper attracted attention recently owing to its importance in many applications. However, existing solutions using Abelian function theory are sophisticated and the theory is not one of the standard techniques used by applied mathematicians and engineers. Moreover, in the N ≥ 3 cylinder problem, the infinite product involved in the presentation of the Schottky-Klein prime function must also be truncated. So, the approach used in the paper is simple and an alternative to existing methods. This is the main motivation for this study.
