Evaluation of rock engineering properties is a significant phenomenon for mining, civil and geotechnical engineering disciplines. Uniaxial compressive strength is one of the most important engineering parameters and it is used to characterize rocks from the …

This study is related with numerical modeling of a Francis turbine draft tube. In order to reveal this relationship, a real Francis turbine model test results are used as inputs of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study. Firstly, the flow in divergent ch…

Fossil fuels used by traditional internal combustion vehicles today are quite damaging to environment. Because of these fuels, global warming has reached a very dangerous point. However, fossil fuels are gradually depleting. Therefore, it is inevitable that el…

A microgrid is a power grid consists of distributed power generation units and loads. Microgrid is also a system that can operate in grid-connected mode and islanding (autonomous) mode. The control of distributed power generation units in microgrids is necessa…

Evolution of EU road transport emission standards indicates that the limits have been reduced more than 90% in the last decades. However, nowadays, the urban populations in many developed countries are still suffering from urban transport sourced emissions. On…

Asynchronous motors are the most preferred engines in the industry due to factors such as their stable speed, economic and operational safety. Recently, asynchronous motors have been used as generators in the power generation sector and especially in wind turb…

This study examines the failure mechanisms of a three-phase AC induction electric motor with a closed body design, intended to provide IP protection, due to insufficient cooling under high-temperature conditions. Overheating at elevated temperatures adversely …

This work suggests a newly developed partial transmit sequence (PTS) approach consisting of the hybridization of two efficient algorithms, namely, the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm and the sine cosine algorithm (SCA). The SCAGWO-based PTS technique is…

The utilization of renewable energy sources is being enlarged daily to meet the escalating energy needs around the world. Solar energy, like other renewable energy sources, occupies an important place in the energy generation sector. Since it is important to i…

Many structures, machinery, equipment, heritages, also socio-cultural systems may be subjected to the unfavourable impact caused by various disaster risks, such as flooding, heavy snow, earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes etc. For prevention and reduction of d…

In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in different weight ratios effect on the mechanical properties of modified epoxy based adhesive under an axial load was investigated. 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1 % by weight ratio the MWCNT added epoxy adhesive…

Since the design of the first high rise building, the “Home Insurance Building” erected in Chicago in 1884-1885 only with 11 floors, new technologies encourage the designers to build taller and slender buildings penetrating through the sky. In the history, h…

Because of the great earthquakes that have occured for centuries, many loss of lifes and goods have been experienced all over the world. Our country is located on active seismic zone. Many great earthquakes have also occurred in our country and have caused man…

Nowadays, in the field of industry and commerce, heavy loads have to be removed by various methods and moved from one place to another. Mobile cranes in order to overcome these tasks are in common use. One of the problems that prevent the safe and long-lasting…

This study aims to examine the feasibility and impact of conducting laboratory experiments, a fundamental component of electrical and electronics engineering education, on a virtual reality (VR)-based platform. The innovative platform, named "VR-EE Lab," provi…

The unlimited nature of consumption and needs contrasts with the scarcity of usable resources, necessitating the optimal use of available resources. Alongside the careful protection of the environment and human health, it is crucial to meet needs with maximum …

This study examines the effects of inrush current loads on electric motors operating under low-temperature conditions. While electric motors have a wide range of applications in industrial and military environments, they face significant performance challenges…

The formation of architectural form is influenced by functional, economic, social, cultural, climatic, and environmental factors, along with construction and stability conditions. Stability is crucial in shaping form and ensuring durability against environment…

Three-phase asynchronous motors are widely used in many areas of industry. Unplanned malfunctions in the motor can cause the entire system to become inefficient. Detecting and intervening the malfunctions before they grow has a direct impact on the life of the…

In this study, a new wheel rim design and static analysis has been carried out to enable ground vehicles to navigate better in unfavorable road conditions such as snowy, icy and muddy. This new designed wheel rim has a dynamic structure. On roads with adverse …
