    Robust Multicriteria Sustainability Assessment in Urban Transportation
    (ASCE-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2023-06) Gulcimen, Sedat; Aydogan, Emel Kizilkaya; Uzal, Nigmet
    Developing methodologies to facilitate the planning of sustainable transport systems for decision makers (DMs) is becoming more critical. This study proposed a methodological framework for sustainable urban transportation to make decisions during urban transportation's design and planning stages. Urban transportation alternatives were evaluated by sustainability indicators that considered a triple bottom line approach's environmental, economic, and social aspects. To choose the best alternative sustainable transportation scenarios, two multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, for example, a hesitant fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (HF-AHP) and multiple attribute utility model (MAUT), were integrated. First, eight sustainable transportation indicators that considered data availability from the transport sector were selected. The weights of the selected indicators were calculated using an HF-AHP. These indicators included carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, energy consumption, depletion of nonrenewable resources, operational and maintenance costs, fuel and taxes, the number of fatalities or injuries, and motor vehicles for public transport per 10,000 population. Finally, sensitivity analysis was applied to validate the robustness. Based on HF-AHP results, the number of fatalities or injuries was the most significant among the eight indicators, with a 0.158 normalized weight (N-i). The results of this integrated methodology highlighted that Alternative 11, which was dominated by low-motorized vehicles (low-MVs), was the best sustainable alternative and Alternative 1 was the worst sustainable alternative, which was dominated by high-MVs with 0.69 and 0.27 total utility values, respectively. Low-motorized urban transportation alternatives showed higher sustainable performances than the motorized and high-motorized alternatives. This study proposed a novel and robust methodology for decisions on sustainable urban transportation projects and renovating current urban transportation systems.

    Low-Speed Oblique Impact Response of Adhesively Bonded Dissimilar Single-Lap Joints
    (ASCE-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2022-09) Atahan, M. Gokhan; Apalak, M. Kemal
    Adhesively bonded joints are widely preferred for joining similar and dissimilar materials due to the mechanical advantages they provide. As the demand for the adhesively bonded method increases, it is necessary to determine the behavior of joints under impact loads for joint design. The aim of this study was to investigate the low-speed oblique impact behavior of dissimilar single-lap joints and the effect of plastic deformation ability and strength of the adherends [(Top) Al 2024-T3-(Bottom) Al 5754-0, (Top) Al 5754-0-(Bottom) Al 2024-T3], overlap lengths (25, 40 mm), and impact energy (3, 11 J) on adhesive damage. The behavior of the joints determined by the numerical model under low-speed oblique impact was compared with experimental results. Considering the contact force-time, contact force-displacement, and adhesive damage, the numerical model was reasonably compatible with the experimental results. The damage initiation and propagation in the adhesive layer were determined by three-dimensional explicit finite-element analysis. In order to obtain suitability for the damage mechanism by observing the experimental bonding damage surfaces, the adhesive region was divided into three zones, the upper and lower adhesive interfaces and a middle adhesive layer between them. The different strength and plastic deformation ability of the adherends had a significant effect on the adhesive damage initiation and propagation. In the case of high strength and low deformation ability of the adherend material (Al 2024-T3) contacting with the impactor, a reduction of the adhesive damage occurred due to the deformation of the adherend material (bottom adherend) with low strength and high deformation capability. The oblique impact load and the different mechanical properties of the adherends greatly affected the adhesive damage initiation and propagation of single-lap joints.
