Laminated composites with complex properties exhibit features such as high strength, high corrosion and thermal resistance, low specific gravity, resistance to environmental conditions. These properties generally reflect components that make up laminated composite. In this study, effects of reinforcements on mechanical properties of laminated composites were investigated. In production of laminated composites, aluminum 5754 is used for metal layers, and aramid, glass and carbon fibers are used for fiber reinforcements. Epoxy was also preferred as resin. First of all, the resin was applied on the cleaned aluminum plate and the aramid fiber was added on it. By continuing the processes in this way, Arall laminated composite consisting of five layers was obtained. Similar processes were applied to carbon fiber and glass fiber materials, and Carall and Glare laminated composites were produced, respectively. In addition, by subjecting the fiber layers to a combination among themselves, Ar-Carall, Ar-Glare and Car-Glare laminated composites were produced. The produced laminated composites were subjected to tensile and bending tests and their strengths were compared. As a result of the experiments, the highest tensile and bending strength was obtained from the Carall laminated composite. The strength of the Ar-Carall and the Car-Glare laminated hybrid composites containing carbon fiber were better than the Arall and the Glare laminated composites.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129203887","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}

Apart from the time-amplitude graph, PSD and STFT analyzes have also performed the analyzes and the results were compared. As a result of this study, the results of PSD analysis are quite successful in distinguishing between healthy and schizophrenic individuals. In this sense, this method includes features that can be used by physicians for diagnostic purposes. In addition, the analysis results are compatible with each other and the results are meaningful. In particular, the results of PSD analyses give very distinctive results that can be used for diagnosis. In addition, the results of the analyzes made with the STFT method are also compatible with the PSD analyses, where healthy individuals have a trend of around 10 Hz, and individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia have a trend of up to 20 Hz.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"180 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115480757","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}

Belt conveyor systems are at the forefront of the systems that minimize the need for people in the transportation of materials. In this way, it is inevitable to achieve both time and cost savings. With the continuous development of today's technology, it develops in the improvements in belt conveyor systems. Owing to the innovations and improvements in the conveyor belts, it becomes possible to minimize the maintenance, repair and undesired stoppages of the facilities. In this study, specimens extracted from a conveyor belt with a width of 800 mm, with a tensile strength of 45 N/mm2, 4 layers of polyester-polyamide blend cord fabric, 6 mm rubber bottom coating thickness and 3 mm rubber top coating thickness were used. The specimens were taken in three different ways (from the unspliced belt, from the mechanically spliced belt and from the vulcanized belt). The specimens taken from the spliced conveyor belts were subjected to the tensile test. The strength values of the belt specimens, from high to low, are in the form of unspliced belt, vulcanized belt and mechanically spliced belt. Among these applications, it has been observed that the mechanical splicing method is easier in terms of application than other splicing methods. It has been observed that the time required for maintenance and repair of the mechanical splicing method is between 1 and 2 hours, and the time required for the splicing method with vulcanization is between 6 and 8 hours. It has been understood that the mechanical method is advantageous over the vulcanization method in terms of the application time of the belt splicing method.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116387856","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 study, changes in the wear volumes, wear rates, wear track profiles, and friction coefficients of lamellar graphite cast irons in which Tantalum Carbide (TaC) was added at different reinforcement ratios (A (0.025 wt.%), B (0.155 wt.%), C (0.285 wt.%), and K (unreinforced, 0 wt.%)) were investigated. Additionally, by examining the wear surfaces of the samples using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), their wear mechanisms were determined. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that different reinforcement ratios did not have a noticeable effect on wear track profiles under a load of 1 N. On the other hand, different reinforcement ratios showed an effect on wear track profiles under loads of 3 N and 5 N. The most perceptible wear track profile was formed in Sample C under 5 N. It was observed that increased load values resulted in increased wear volumes, but the increases in the wear rates of the samples were not significant, and the numerical values were close to each other. The highest wear volumes were determined in the reinforced C sample and the unreinforced K sample under 5 N load. As the magnitude of the load that was applied increased, the friction coefficients of Samples B and C decreased, but the friction coefficients of Samples K and A increased.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126625683","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}
