Dış Yüzey Sıcaklığı Zamanla Değişen Silindirin Elastik-Plastik Analitik Çözümü
Konferans Bildirisi -- Teorik ve Uygulamalı Mekanik Türk Milli Komitesi, 2015Conference Paper -- Theoretical and Applied Mechanical Turkish National Committee, 2015Bu çalışmanın konusu yüzey sıcaklığı periyodik olarak değişen bir silindirin elastik ve kısmen plastik çözümlerini analitik olarak elde etmektir. Genelleştirilmiş düzlem birim şekil değiştirme durumu varsayılmıştır. Plastik bölgelerin çözümlenmesi için Tresca akma kriterleri ve karşılık gelen akma kuralları kullanılmıştır. Silindir içerisindeki sıcaklık dağılımı Duhamel Teoremi kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Elastik çözümler göstermiştir ki normal gerilmeler arasındaki maksimum fark yüzeyde oluşmaktadır. Bu durumda silindirin yüzeyden plastikleşmeye başlayacağı açıktır. Artan termal yüklerde birbirine bitişik iki plastik bölge sıcaklık gradyanlarının artmasıyla silindir içerisine doğru yayılmakta ve bu yayılma gradyan artışının durmasıyla sonlanmaktadır.The subject of this study is to obtain analytical solutions to elastic and partially plastic deformation of a solid cylinder subjected to periodic surface temperature. A state of generalized plane strain is presumed. Tresca’s yied criteria and the corresponding flow rules are used for a linearly hardening material in the treatment of plastics. By making use of Duhamel’s Theorem, the unsteady temperature distribution in the cylinder is derived. Elastic solutions indicate that the maximum difference between principal stresses occur at the surface of the cylinder. Hence, plasticization always commences at the surface. At higher thermal loads two adjacent plastic regions propagate into the cylinder at sharp temperature gradients and stop when the gradients cease to increase
Semantic analysis of field sports video using a petri-net of audio-visual concepts
The most common approach to automatic summarisation and highlight detection in sports video is to train an automatic classifier to detect semantic highlights based on occurrences of low-level features such as action replays, excited commentators or changes in a scoreboard. We propose an alternative approach based on the detection of perception concepts (PCs) and the construction of Petri-Nets which can be used for both semantic description and event detection within sports videos. Low-level algorithms for the detection of perception concepts using visual, aural and motion characteristics are proposed, and a series of Petri-Nets composed of perception concepts is formally defined to describe video content. We call this a Perception Concept Network-Petri Net (PCN-PN) model. Using PCN-PNs, personalized high-level semantic descriptions of video highlights can be facilitated and queries on high-level semantics can be achieved. A particular strength of this framework is that we can easily build semantic detectors based on PCN-PNs to search within sports videos and locate interesting events. Experimental results based on recorded sports
video data across three types of sports games (soccer, basketball and rugby), and each from multiple broadcasters, are used to illustrate the potential of this framework
Normal zone in -coated conductors
We consider the distribution of an electric field in YBCO-coated conductors
for a situation in which the DC transport current is forced into the copper
stabilizer due to a weak link -- a section of the superconducting film with a
critical current less than the transport current. The electric field in the
metal substrate is also discussed. The results are compared with recent
experiments on normal zone propagation in coated conductors for which the
substrate and stabilizer are insulated from each other. The potential
difference between the substrate and stabilizer, and the electric field in the
substrate outside the normal zone can be accounted for by a large screening
length in the substrate, comparable to the length of the sample. During a
quench, the electric field inside the interface between YBCO and stabilizer, as
well as in the buffer layer, can be several orders of magnitude greater than
the longitudinal macroscopic electric field inside the normal zone. We
speculate on the possibility of using possible microscopic electric discharges
caused by this large (kV/cm) electric field as a means to detect a
quench.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
The effects of superconductor-stabilizer interfacial resistance on quench of current-carrying coated conductor
We present the results of numerical analysis of a model of normal zone
propagation in coated conductors. The main emphasis is on the effects of
increased contact resistance between the superconducting film and the
stabilizer on the speed of normal zone propagation, the maximum temperature
rise inside the normal zone, and the stability margins. We show that with
increasing contact resistance the speed of normal zone propagation increases,
the maximum temperature inside the normal zone decreases, and stability margins
shrink. This may have an overall beneficial effect on quench protection quality
of coated conductors. We also briefly discuss the propagation of solitons and
development of the temperature modulation along the wire.Comment: To be published in Superconductor Science and Technology. This

Three-Dimensional Phase Step Profilometry With A Multicore Optical Fiber
This paper demonstrates the feasibility of using phase stepping and a multicore optical fiber to calculate an object\u27s depth profile. An interference pattern is projected by an optical fiber onto the object. The distorted interference pattern containing the object information is captured by a CCD camera and processed using a phase step interferometry method. The phase step method is less computationally intensive compared to two-dimensional Fourier transform profilometry and provides more accuracy when measuring objects of high frequency spatial variations.

Two regimes for effects of surface disorder on the zero-bias conductance peak of tunnel junctions involving d-wave superconductors
Impurity-induced quasiparticle bound states on a pair-breaking surface of a
d-wave superconductor are theoretically described, taking into account
hybridization of impurity- and surface-induced Andreev states. Further a theory
for effects of surface disorder (of thin impurity surface layer) on the
low-bias conductance of tunnel junctions is developed. We find a threshold
for surface impurity concentration , which separates the two regimes
for surface impurity effects on the zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP). Below
the threshold, surface impurities do not broaden the ZBCP, but effectively
reduce its weight and generate impurity bands. For low impurity bands can
be, in principle, resolved experimentally, being centered at energies of bound
states induced by an isolated impurity on the surface. For larger
impurity bands are distorted, move to lower energies and, beginning with the
threshold concentration , become centered at zero energy. With
increasing above the threshold, the ZBCP is quickly destroyed in the case
of strong scatterers, while it is gradually suppressed and broaden in the
presence of weak impurity potentials. More realistic cases, taking into account
additional broadening, not related to the surface disorder, are also
considered.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Mesh topology design in overlay virtual private network
The mesh topology design problem in overlay virtual private networks is studied. Given a set of customer nodes and an associated traffic matrix, tunnels that connect node pairs through a service provider network are determined such that the total multi-hopped traffic is minimised. A tabu search based heuristic is proposed
Probes for investigating the effect of magnetic field, field orientation, temperature and strain on the critical current density of anisotropic high-temperature superconducting tapes in a split-pair 15 T horizontal magnet
We present the designs of probes for making critical current density (J c ) measurements on anisotropic high-temperature superconducting tapes as a function of field, field orientation, temperature and strain in our 40 mm bore, split-pair 15 T horizontal magnet. Emphasis is placed on the design of three components: the vapour-cooled current leads, the variable temperature enclosure, and the springboard-shaped bending beam sample holder. The vapour-cooled brass critical-current leads used superconducting tapes and in operation ran hot with a duty cycle (D) of ∼0.2. This work provides formulae for optimising cryogenic consumption and calculating cryogenic boil-off, associated with current leads used to make J c measurements, made by uniformly ramping the current up to a maximum current (I max) and then reducing the current very quickly to zero. They include consideration of the effects of duty cycle, static helium boil-off from the magnet and Dewar (b ′), and the maximum safe temperature for the critical-current leads (T max). Our optimized critical-current leads have a boil-off that is about 30% less than leads optimized for magnet operation at the same maximum current. Numerical calculations show that the optimum cross-sectional area (A) for each current lead can be parameterized by LImax/A=[1.46D−0.18L0.4(Tmax−300)0.25D−0.09+750(b′/Imax)D10−3Imax−2.87b′]×106Am−1 where L is the current lead's length and the current lead is operated in liquid helium. An optimum A of 132 mm2 is obtained when I max = 1000 A, T max = 400 K, D = 0.2, b ′ = 0.3 l h−1 and L = 1.0 m. The optimized helium consumption was found to be 0.7 l h−1. When the static boil-off is small, optimized leads have a boil-off that can be roughly parameterized by: b/I max ≈ (1.35 × 10−3)D 0.41 l h‑1 A−1. A split-current-lead design is employed to minimize the rotation of the probes during the high current measurements in our high-field horizontal magnet. The variable-temperature system is based on the use of an inverted insulating cup that operates above 4.2 K in liquid helium and above 77.4 K in liquid nitrogen, with a stability of ±80 mK to ±150 mK. Uniaxial strains of −1.4% to 1.0% can be applied to the sample, with a total uncertainty of better than ±0.02%, using a modified bending beam apparatus which includes a copper beryllium springboard-shaped sample holder
Clones with finitely many relative R-classes
For each clone C on a set A there is an associated equivalence relation
analogous to Green's R-relation, which relates two operations on A iff each one
is a substitution instance of the other using operations from C. We study the
clones for which there are only finitely many relative R-classes.Comment: 41 pages; proofs improved, examples adde
Unmanned aerial vehicle-to-wearables (UAV2W) indoor radio propagation channel measurements and modeling
In this paper, off-body ultra-wide band (UWB) channel characterization and modeling are presented between an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a human subject. The wearable antenna was patched at nine different body locations on a human subject during the experiment campaign. The prime objective of this work was to study and evaluate the distance and frequency dependent path loss factors for different bandwidths corresponding to various carrier frequencies, and also look into the time dispersion properties of such unmanned aerial vehicle-to-wearables (UAV2W) system. The environment under consideration was an indoor warehouse with highly conductive metallic walls and roof. Best fit statistical analysis using Akaike Information Criteria revealed that the Log-normal distribution is the best fit distribution to model the UWB fading statistics. The study in this paper will set up a road map for future UAV2W studies to develop enhanced retail and remote health-care monitoring/diagnostic systems
