A realistic modelling and simulation of a PMSM drive system is very useful before developing an experimental study. In particular, analyzing the performance of the motor drive and control algorithm in a simulation environment provides many advantages. The motor and drive system can be tested by using a simulation environment with various realistic scenarios in order to reduce testing costs and time span. Therefore, a comparative simulation study was performed in this study to show the simulation results similarity with real application results. Three PMSM drive systems were modelled by using MATLAB environment based on SimPowerSystems, Simscape Electrical, and based C-language. All models and experimental system were operated under the same conditions. These models were compared with each other and verified with an experimental system. The waveforms were analyzed comparatively such as current, speed, mechanical position of the motor.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122605316","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 increase in individual vehicle ownership causes heavy traffic jams in the city centers. In addition to traffic congestion, noise pollution, harmful gas emission, parking lot problems also increase. Besides, the fact that most of the vehicles use petroleum derivatives, which are a depleted energy source, pose big problems for the economy. In this context, various studies are carried out to reduce the use of individual vehicles and to prevent the mentioned problems. One of these studies is the carsharing system. In this study, the applicability of the vehicle sharing system was investigated by surveys of Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality personnel. The city is divided into certain regions, taking into account the locations of individuals' homes. Later, the carsharing model was created with the mobile application designed for individuals living in the region. Monthly total economic gain and savings per individual were calculated in the analysis made as a result of the model. Thanks to the study, it has been revealed that the carsharing system within the institutions provides feasibility and many advantages.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134195730","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}

Studies have observed improvements in air pollution due to the reduction in emissions from traffic and industrial processes during lockdown periods. In this study, the effects of quarantine activities on air quality in the pre-COVID-19 period and during the COVID-19 pandemic, both in 2020 and 2021, were examined through the data obtained from the air quality monitoring stations located in the three districts with the highest traffic density in Istanbul, the most populated city of Turkey. \u0000 \u0000Based on the findings obtained from the study, it can be concluded that lockdown applications contributed to the reduction of air pollution in the examined regions. In addition, another finding is that there is a positive correlation between air quality parameters. It is expected that the results of the study will lead the decision-makers in the areas of dissemination of renewable energy systems instead of energy generation from coal-fired power plants and the widespread use of electric vehicles instead of diesel-fueled vehicles, for many countries that have committed to net-zero carbon emissions within the scope of the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128112556","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, Al6061 matrix and Ni-Al2O3 reinforced composite material was produced by stir casting method and the effect of Ni- Al2O3 mixture reinforcement on the hardness and tensile properties of the produced composite material was investigated. The determination of the mechanical properties of the samples obtained after the casting process was determined by the results of microhardness analysis and tensile test, and the internal structure of the material was examined by XRD analysis. According to the results of XRD analysis, it was determined that Ni and Al2O3 phases were formed together with the matrix element Al. The results of the tensile analyzes showed that the amount of strain in the composite material changed depending on the ratio of the reinforcement element, and the highest strain value occurred in the Ni-Al2O3 reinforced sample with Al matrix. However, it was observed that the brittle fracture mechanism was effective in all samples. While the highest microhardness value was obtained in sample 4 (Al6061+ (mass. %15) Ni+ Al2O3) with 89.6 HV0.5 value, the lowest microhardness value was obtained from pure Al sample with 66.7 HV0.5 value. As a result, it was determined that the Ni-Al2O3 reinforcement element increased the microhardness value in the Al matrix composite material.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126140165","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}

High power consumption increases the cost in machinability studies. Therefore, minimizing power consumption is important for sustainable and cleaner production. In order to minimize power consumption during machining, factors such as workpiece material, cutting tool material and geometry, machining conditions and cutting parameters must be compatible with each other. For this reason, power consumption modeling was carried out in the milling of S960QL structural steel material according to the finite elements method, depending on the cutting parameters. In this context, simulation processes were carried out at three levels for each factor: cutting speed, lateral depth, axial depth and feed rate. The most effective parameter in power consumption was the axial deep of cut. There was a 476% change between the highest and lowest power consumption. It is concluded that finite element modeling is feasible in order to determine the effect of processing parameters on power consumption.","PeriodicalId":413929,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Technic","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131025625","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}
