In order to validate the technique, LIBS data were compared with data obtained on the same soil samples by application of conventional Inductively Coupled Plasma ICP spectroscopy. The partial agreement obtained between the two sets of data suggested the potential applicability of the LIBS technique to the measurement of heavy metals in soils. According to the results, it was seen that the elements determined by ICP-OES analysis were also determined by LIBS method. The LIBS method is an important and practical technique for determining the elements that are enriched with anthropogenic factors as well as the elements resulting from natural processes.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91177394","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}

NR has satisfactory resilience, vibration, and fatigue properties. Besides all these good properties, NR has quite poor aging resistance; also its service temperature is limited to about 90 °C. Improving aging characteristics of NR is a common problem for both rubber industry and academy. Nowadays, especially automotive industry has been focused on thermally resistant static and dynamic rubber based materials in new generation automobiles because of current strict emission regulations. There are a lot of attempts to improve service conditions of NR however; they are not comparable yet, with alternative saturated rubbers such as EPDM. In this study, a new grade EPDM, which had a high molecular weight, narrow molecular weight distribution, and tailor-made chain structure, has been studied in terms of rheological, mechanical, dynamic mechanical, aging, and low temperature properties for target dynamic applications. Especially possible service temperature and dynamic performance of EPDM were compared to that of NR based reference. It was concluded that, EPDM may be an assertive competitor to NR, if its chain structure is modified correctly.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79553911","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 analytical solutions of the equations of motion for the fluid, numerical solutions of the equations of motion for the tube have been found. The residual circumferential strain in the unloaded state of artery causes opening angle. The dispersion relation is presented as a function of the axial stretch, opening angle, internal pressure and material parameters.

The textile industry discharges a large amount of wastewater containing non-biodegradable organic compounds and inorganic chemicals to the environment after various steps of production processing. Electrochemical technologies such as electrochemical oxidation, electrochemical reduction, indirect electro-oxidation with strong oxidants and electrocoagulation have received considerable attention for treating dye wastewaters during last decade. In this study, it was investigated the treatability of wastewater from textile industry by electrochemical treatment methods. Effect of important operating parameters such as, electrode type and combination (Al-Al, Fe-Fe, Al-Fe, Fe-Al, Pt-Fe), pH, reaction time and potential were investigated on removal efficiency of color and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The study was performed by both electrocoagulation and electrooxidation method using real textile wastewater. The initial color, and COD concentrations of the wastewater were 395 Pt-Co and 1040 mg/L, respectively. At the end of the electrocoagulation experiments, concentrations of color and COD were decreased to 28 Pt-Co and 115 mg/L, respectively. Results showed that at pH 3 and 6 V potential, up to 93% color and 89% COD removal efficiencies were obtained in the reactor consisting of Fe-Fe electrodes. COD and color were removed at the rate of 88% and 92%, respectively in the study done with Al-Al couple at 10 V in natural pH (6.96). COD removal was achieved in the ratio of 93% at 6V as a result of the electrooxidation study with a couple of Pt-Fe electrodes. The study showed that the removal process was promising and it was reached to the discharge limit values for the color and COD with each electrode couple specified in the regulation.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83015721","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 proposed multi-objective cost function consists of conflicting objective functions including the overshoot, rise time, settling time and steady state error. In this paper, multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is used for obtaining the Pareto optimal solutions of the conflicting objective functions. The weights in the proposed multi-objective cost function are calculated by way of nondominated solutions of the obtained Pareto fronts based on the four conflicting objective functions. Also, the optimal tuning parameters of the PID controller are obtained by minimizing the integral based objective functions commonly introduced in the literature using the CS algorithm. The obtained results show that the CS optimized approach based on the proposed objective cost function outperforms than that of the integral based objective functions with higher efficiency and better quality no matter whether the process systems are employed under unload or load conditions.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"137 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75133328","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 stresses-deformation and strength properties of the soils under repeated loads, which are caused by the depression, are changing.

One of these parameters is an important factor in the effects of frequency earthquakes. In this study, the effects of frequencies obtained from different earthquakes on the dynamic characteristics of the ground were investigated. In the study, a dynamic triaxial test set was used to investigate the dynamic properties of soils.
