The sandwich-structured configuration is composed of three layers, an isotropic core, and two nanocomposite face sheets. Carbon nanotubes fibers are applied to reinforce nanocomposite face sheets of sandwich composite shells. It is assumed that the distribution of reinforcements across the shell thickness is uniform or functionally graded. Under the assumption of the thin shell, the equilibrium equation of the buckling response of CNT-RSSC shells is obtained. The pre-buckling stresses by applying Airy’s stress function and an adjacent equilibrium criterion to establish the stability equation associated with the buckling state are obtained. The effects of different types of CNTs' reinforcement, volume fractions, geometrical parameters, core to face sheet thickness ratio, and elastic foundations on the mechanical buckling analysis are examined.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43783134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to offer proposals for improving the thermal performance of an office building with a glass curtain wall system built in a hot-humid climate zone. An office building constructed in Antalya, Turkey was modelled with the help of DesignBuilder energy simulation software and various modifications were made on the model in order to improve the thermal performance of the building. With the improvements proposed in the study, it is possible to decrease the annual thermal loads of the whole building by 6.6%, and the annual thermal loads of the space with the curtain wall by 33.2%. The study revealed that, applying an additional envelope is more effective than lowering the U-value of the glass of the curtain wall in terms of thermal performance improvement.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46020440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, when looking at these standards, it is seen that definitions are always made in terms of unit of length. In some studies, assessment of fusion or penetration (FOP) rate on fillet welds is performed as the ratio of the maximum FOP depth to the material thickness. Depth assessment taking into consideration unit of length is not ideal for accurate evaluation of FOP rates especially on fillet welds. Method taking into consideration unit of area will be more suitable as it allows accurate assessment of FOP rates in welded joints. In this review, it is also suggested that the evaluation of FOP rate on fillet welds should be determined in terms of unit of area rather than length.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48735302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To model hydrogen diffusion, 1D and 2D mass diffusion models were prepared in MATLAB. Iron, nickel and titanium were selected as a material of choice to represent body-centered cubic, face-centered cubic, and hexagonal closed paced crystal structures, respectively. In addition, hydrogen back diffusion profiles were also modeled after certain baking times. Current results reveal that hydrogen diffusion depth depends on the microstructure, energy barrier model, temperature, and charging time. In addition, baking can help for back diffusion of hydrogen and can be utilized as hydrogen embrittlement prevention method. Since hydrogen diffusion is very crucial step to understand and evaluate hydrogen embrittlement, current set of results constitutes an important guideline for hydrogen diffusion calculations and ideal baking time for hydrogen back diffusion for different materials. Furthermore, these results can be used to evaluate hydrogen content inside the material over expensive and hard to find experimental facilities such as, thermal desorption spectroscopy.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69795962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SAPO34 support was produced by hydrothermal synthesis, and nickeloxide was added to the support by impregnation and surfactant impregnation method by using different solvents (water, ethanol, acetone and 1-propanol). Various characterization techniques were used to determine the physical properties of catalysts and support (N2 physisorption, XRD, SEM, TEM, FTIR). XRD analysis showed that synthesizing the catalysts with surfactant reduced the average crystal size. The average crystal sizes of the catalysts prepared by the impregnation and surfactant assisted impregnation methods are between 11.3-7.1 nm and 8.9-7.1 nm, respectievely. N2 physisorption analysis showed that catalysts prepared by the surfactant-assisted impregnation method had higher surface areas than the catalysts prepared by the classical impregnation method. It was observed that the surface area of the catalyst increased as the boiling point of the solvent increased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that particle size of the catalysts with propanol prepared by impregnation and surfactant assisted impregnation methods are 118 nm and 86 nm, respectievely. Surfactant caused to produce smaller particles. The CO methanation studies showed that highest CO conversion values were reached with Ni/SAPO34 catalyst using 1-propanol prepared by impregnation and surfactant assisted impregnation methods which gave 19.2% and 21.1% CO conversion to methane at 375C, respectievely The low methane formation rates showed that most of the CO component was adsorbed on the surface and some of it was converted to methane.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42808765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) with scaffolds composed of ε-polycaprolactone (ε-PCL) and egg white. In our study; ε-PCL and egg white scaffolds were fabricated from their monomers under the catalysis of tin octoate and by polymerization by heat respectively. Characterization of PCL was carried out with Gel permeability chromatography (GPC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H-NMR), Differential Scan Calorimetry (DSC) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). CM-DiI labeled ADSCs were cultured for 12 days on egg white and ε-PCL scaffolds. Cell viability was performed using MTT and nitric oxide level was evaluated for toxicity. Results showed that the number of ADSCs on egg white scaffold increased periodically throughout 12 days compared with the other groups. Although the number of ADSCs on ε-PCL scaffold increased until the 6th day of the culture, the cell number began to decrease after day 6.. These results were associated with the decomposition of PCL scaffolds that occurs through catabolic reactions. This causes the release of lactic acid which makes toxic effect on the cells. Thus, these results showed that egg white scaffold increases and protects cell adhesion and cell viability more than ε-Polycaprolactone scaffold, thus it can be used as a scaffold in tissue engineering studies that involve stem cells.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41286769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the exact mathematical model ensuring useful information about safe routes to network users is proposed. In this manner, to the best knowledge of authors, the CMSSNIP consisting of multiple-source nodes and multiple-sink nodes and considering capacity-demand relations between security units and crime locations is studied for the first time. Accordingly, a set of scenarios is considered based on the interdiction budget levels and the number of crime locations through a real case application to show the applicability of the model. Furthermore, computational experiments are performed to evaluate the model performance on different-sized networks. It is realized that especially the model provides resilient strategies versus interdictions in terms of obtaining the safe shortest paths at the operational level within seconds in the real case application.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45618343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
