This paper describes a laboratory application for the forecasting the dielectric properties, using an artificial neural network embedded in a microprocessor. The dielectric permittivity and loss factor of the insulation material were determined as a function o…

Researchers attention on the optimization methods to solve several applications increases recently by the advances in the technological field. The Artificial Bee Colony algorithm that has been quite popular during the recent years is firstly used in this study…

Aluminum based metal matrix composites are frequently used in automotive, aircraft, space, automotive, agricultural and building industries due to their easy shaping, good heat and electrical conductivity, low density, high strength and toughness. In these com…

For a successful thermal performance, the right choice and design of the thermal management materials used in LED die-moulding, cooler and soldered parts is a critical engineering problem. Because they are affected by heat emitted from the pn junction in the L…

Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems consume about 15% of global electricity, and 46% of energy used in household and commercial buildings belongs to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Vapor-compression technologies dominate the HV…

The use of GPUs for general purpose applications is not a recent approach, but it was quickly becoming widespread with NVIDIA's CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) architecture based on C programming language in 2007. Algorithms suitable for parallel op…

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) method is prone to automation. In this way, by integrating the robot and automation systems have been easily developed. Thanks to the method, the effective overlapping joints can be obtained a short processing time. In the stu…

İnsanoğlunun hayatını devam ettirebilmesi için, yaşamı boyunca her türlü yapıya ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Bu bazen çok katlı bir yapı, bazen ise köprü kolonu ya da kirişi olabilmektedir. Yapısal bir eleman olan kolon veya kiriş ister köprüde ister binada kullanılsı…

The structure of the gas diffusion layer influences cell performance because it also affects the passage of reaction gases and electrons. In this study, the effect of the thickness of the gas diffusion layer on the cell performance for the singlecelled PEM fue…

Use of superplasticing chemical admixtures in concrete production is widespread all over the world and has become almost inevitable. Super-plasticizers (SPA), extend the setting time of concrete by adsorbing onto cement particles and provide concrete to preser…

In this work, Intralube E with 0.38 % C press-ready mix powders were pressed with 550 MPa pressure and sintered 25 min at 1120 °C. Samples were coated electrochemically with nano diamond (ND) reinforced nickel to study the effect of nano composite coating on c…

Taguchi’s robust parameter design focuses on reducing the system variability caused by the noise factors. The results obtained under unrealistic assumptions about the noises may mislead the practitioners when it comes to improving quality in robust design. For…

The aim of this study is to determine instantaneous irradiance and annual percentile sunlit time on the available rooftop floor area of Technical and Social Science Vocational School at Usak University by simulation using open source software. The building of …

Fins are basic structures which can be easily added to many engineering designs to improve heat transfer from hot surfaces. The addition of a fin to a particular heated surface can significantly increase the cooling at no extra cost. In some cases, standard fi…

Stress corrosion is a dangerous type of corrosion occuring as a result of effective with corrosive environment and stress of sensitive a material. Many metallic material may be exposed to stress corrosion damage depending on operating conditions. In order to d…

In this study, the accelerations caused by the diaphragm movements during respiration were monitored with a 3-axis accelerometer and the measured accelerations were recorded on an SD card. A measurement system for this purpose was developed. The moments in whi…
