Analysis of the probability of failure for open-grown trees during wind storms
Ciftci, Cihan; Arwade, Sanjay R.; Kane, Brian; Brena, Sergio F. (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2014)Although trees convey important environmental, economic, and sociological benefits on humans and society, they can also cause significant economic and societal disruptions, especially when subjected to wind storms in ... -
Loss in moment capacity of tree stems induced by decay
Ciftci, Cihan; Kane, Brian; Brena, Sergio F.; Arwade, Sanjay R. (SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2014)Key message We model varying decay in tree crosssections by considering bending theory to estimate moment capacity loss (MCL) for the sections. We compare MCL with experiments on selected oak trees. Abstract Tree failures ... -
The Numerical Solutions for Stiff Ordinary Differential Equations by Using Interpolated Variational Iteration Method with Comparison to Exact Solutions
Ciftci, Cihan; Cayci, Hatice Sinem Sas; Atay, Mehmet Tarik; Toker, Batuhan; Guncan, Berkay; Yildirim, Afsin Talha (AMER INST PHYSICS, 2 HUNTINGTON QUADRANGLE, STE 1NO1, MELVILLE, NY 11747-4501 USA, 2018)Recently proposed Interpolated Variational Iteration Method (IVIM) is used to find numerical solutions of stiff ordinary differential equations for both linear and nonlinear problems. The examples are given to illustrate ... -
A rational utilization of reinforcement material for flexural design of 3D-printed composite beams
Ciftci, Cihan; Sas, Hatice S. (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 1 OLIVERS YARD, 55 CITY ROAD, LONDON EC1Y 1SP, ENGLAND, 2019)Recent developments in composite industry address the adaptation of 3D printing technology to overcome the design and manufacturing challenges of the traditional composite processing techniques. This adaptation can be ...
