Optimum design of timber structures under fire using metaheuristic algorithm
(Croatian Association of Civil Engineers, 2022)
One of the major tasks of structural engineers is to reduce the building cost. Thus, an effective optimization of structural elements is gaining in importance every day. The teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO), ...
Evaluation of NaOH pre-treatment on the corrosion behavior and surface characteristics of hydroxyapatite coated NiTi alloy
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020)
Successful short-term implementation of nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloys as implants has been a motivation for the development of long-term applications. However, rendering these as safe implant materials is challenging. The ...
Recollection center location for end-of-life electric vehicle batteries using fleet size forecast: scenario analysis for Germany
(Elsevier, 2021)
The number of electric vehicle batteries is expected to increase. Their integration into circular economy requires their recollection at end-of-life. Decision makers need tools to determine suitable locations of recollection ...
Differential chaos shift keying assisted media-based modulation
(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2021)
This study proposes a new energy-efficient and high data-rated communication technique by combining media-based modulation (MBM) and differential chaos shift keying technique (DCSK), called DCSK–MBM. The MBM technique, ...
Design of current-mode class 1 frequency-agile filter employing CDTAs
(Ieee, 2015)
In this study, in order to demonstrate the versatility of the active building block so-called current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA), a current-mode (CM) frequency-agile filter (FAF) application circuit is ...
Core-shell PVA/gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds using co-solvent, aqueous electrospinning: toward a green approach
(Wiley, 2018)
Electrospinning (ES) of gelatin often requires cytotoxic organic solvents or acidic environments, which deteriorate cell recognition sites. In this study, aqueous, non-toxic, co-solvent ES was performed to obtain core-shell ...
Effect of polymer coating on vapor condensation heat transfer
(Asme, 2020)
Condensation heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) are rather low compared to thin film evaporation. Therefore, it can be a limiting factor for designing heat transfer equipment. In this work, heat transfer characteristics of ...
Experimental and computational investigation of disc brake squeal
(Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2017)
In this paper, the high frequency noise problem brake squeal observed in automotive disc brake systems is experimentally and computationally investigated. Firstly, modal testing on the components of the brake system (brake ...
Optimization and predictive modeling of reinforced concrete circular columns
(MDPI-Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2022)
Metaheuristic optimization techniques are widely applied in the optimal design of structural members. This paper presents the application of the harmony search algorithm to the optimal dimensioning of reinforced concrete ...
