Optimum design of feed structures for high G/T passive and active antenna arrays
Demir, S; Toker, Canan (1999-03-01)
In this work, noise analysis of parallel feed structures is presented. Signal and noise behavior of the feed structures are signified by the newly introduced concepts of "coherent' and "incoherent" impedance match of power-combining structures. It is also shown that a feed structure can be redesigned for low-noise operation without affecting the radiation characteristics. Optimum design of parallel feed structures for low-noise operation is explained, Also an optimum use of active elements in such structure...
Optimum Properties of Seismic Isolation Systems in Highway Bridges to Minimize Isolator Displacements or Substructure Forces
Dicleli, Murat (null; 2019-07-06)
In this study, closed form equations as functions of the isolator, bridge and ground motion properties are formulated to calculate the optimum characteristic strength, Qd and post-elastic stiffness, kd, of the isolator to minimize the maximum isolator displacement (MID) and force (MIF) for seismic isolated bridges (SIBs). For this purpose, first, sensitivity analyses are conducted to identify the bridge, isolator and ground motion parameters that affect the optimum values of Qd and kd. Next, for the identif...
Optimum design of slurry pipelines by genetic algorithm
Yildiz, Burhan; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Ger, A. Metin (2014-10-02)
Various applications of slurry transportation through pipelines exist. A transportation problem is formulated to determine the pipe diameters and amounts of transported slurry from the production to the consumption points. The minimisation of the cost consisting of the pipe and energy cost terms is considered as the objective function. Pipe cost is given as the function of pipe diameters and the energy cost is defined as the function of pipe diameters and slurry amounts. Energy cost is obtained by using the...
Optimum characteristic properties of isolators with bilinear force-displacement hysteresis for seismic protection of bridges built on various site soils
Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-01)
In this study, closed form equations as functions of the isolator, bridge and ground motion properties are formulated to calculate the optimum characteristic strength, Q(d) and post-elastic stiffness, k(d), of the isolator to minimize the maximum isolator displacement (MID) and force (MIF) for seismic isolated bridges (SIBS). For this purpose, first, sensitivity analyses are conducted to identify the bridge, isolator and ground motion parameters that affect the optimum values of Q(d) and k(d). Next, for the...
