    MODELING OF THREE-PHASE THREE-LEVEL RECTIFIER WITH SPACE VECTOR PULSE WIDTH MODULATION METHOD IN MATLAB/SIMULINK PROGRAM

    Yüksek, Halil İbrahim; Ari̇Foğlu, Uğur

    Multi-level rectifiers have low harmonic content and electromagnetic interference (EMI). In recent years, especially in medium and high-power applications are increasing use. As the voltage level per switch and switching frequency are low, the multi-level rectifiers have low losses and high efficiency. In this study, three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) rectifier topology with pulse width modulation (PWM) is investigated and the decoupled equations in the d-q synchronous rotating axis of the rectifier are given and a space vector PWM (SVPWM) control algorithm based on the d-q synchronous rotating axis of three-level rectifier is proposed. The control of the whole system is provided by voltage oriented control (VOC) strategy, which enables the realization of control in cascade system with outer voltage and inner current control blocks. This paper is focused on explaining in detail modulus optimum and symmetrical optimum methods used in the design of the inner current and outer voltage PI controllers of the three-level rectifiers, respectively. PI voltage controller is used to keep the rectifier output voltage constant, and PI current controller is used to reduce the harmonic content of the grid current. In addition, a simplified method compared to conventional SVPWM is used to calculate switching times and switching sequences. In this study, three-level rectifier is simulated in Matlab / Simulink with the help of SVPWM. The performance of the circuit has been tested by changing both the load value and the load voltage suddenly and successful results have been achieved.

    Analytical and finite element solutions of continuous contact problem in functionally graded layer

    Kaya, Yusuf; Polat, Alper; Özşahin, Talat Şükrü

    In this study, we solve the continuous contact problem of two layers with different material properties, loaded with two rigid flat blocks and resting on a rigid plane, by analytical and finite element methods. All surfaces are assumed to be frictionless. The upper layer is the functionally graded layer (FG), the height h1, the underlying layer is homogeneous, and the height is h2. It is assumed that the FG layer is isotropic and that the shear modulus and density change exponentially. The FG layer is loaded by means of two rigid flat blocks whose external loads are Q and P (per unit thickness in z direction). In the analytical solution of the problem, stress and displacement expressions are substituted in the boundary conditions and the problem is demoted to singular integral equations where the contact stresses are the unknown functions. These singular integral equations are solved numerically using the Gauss–Chebyshev integration formulas. Two-dimensional finite element analysis of the problem is performed using the ANSYS package program. The analyses are performed for different shear modulus ratios (μ2/μ-h1), distances between the blocks ((c − b)/h1) and inhomogeneity parameters (βh1). The contact stresses under the blocks, the normal stresses (σy) between interfaces of the FG layer and the homogeneous layer and between the homogeneous layer and rigid plane are also measured. In addition, the initial separation load and the initial separation distances (χcr, λcr) of the FG layer and homogeneous layer are determined. The results are presented comparatively as graphs and tables.

    Peker, Iskender; Caybasi, Gokhan; Buyukozkan, Gulcin; Gocer, Fethullah; Kahraman, C.; Cevik Onar, S.; Oztaysi, B.; Sari, I.U.; Cebi, S.; Tolga, A.C.

    In our country, Home Health Care (HHC) units support people who are fully bed-dependent in order to provide health services at the right time, place and conditions. Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is used for cost, speed and distance optimization in delivering products or services to customers. In addition, there will be improvements in HHC and it will also save on transportation, storage and labor costs by determining the most appropriate VRP’s solution methods. In this respect, the aim of this study is to determine the best VRP’s solution method which can increase the efficiency of HHC. The proposed approach is based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (IF-AHP) method which is a strong technique for dealing with uncertainties. According to results, the most important criteria is “time based factors”. Meta-heuristic is the appropriate solution algorithms for VRP in HHC.

    Bottleneck identification and ranking model for mine operations

    Kahraman, M. Mustafa; Rogers, W. Pratt; Dessureault, Sean

    Mining has a long history of production and operations management. Considering the increasing complexity of reserves, declining metal grades, and worldwide price volatilities, mines have to operate more efficiently than ever. In recent years, companies have been adopting innovative solutions and technologies to reduce costs and remain competitive in the global market. Specifically, management of bottlenecks has been in the focus of the manufacturing industry for decades now. The mining industry has made significant advancements in process improvement tools using equipment, human, and asset tracking capabilities. However, to date, there is no holistic approach or system to identify and manage the bottleneck in the entire value chain of mining. This research proposes a new method to identify and rank the bottlenecks in a mine value chain. The method is applied in a coal mine and the results are presented in the case study.

    Kilinc, Kagan; Demir, Selim; Turan, Ibrahim; Mentese, Ahmet; Orem, Asim; Sonmez, Mehmet; Aliyazicioglu, Yuksel

    Although several studies have investigated the cytotoxic effects of different Rosa species, there has been only limited research into the cytotoxic effect of Rosa canina. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the antioxidant properties, phenolic characterization, and cytotoxic effects of R. canina on human lung (A549) and prostate (PC-3) cancer cells and the possible mechanisms involved. The antioxidant properties and phenolic characterization of the extract were determined using spectrophotometric methods and RP-HPLC, respectively. The cytotoxic activity of the extract was determined using the MTT assay. The mechanism involved in the extract’s cytotoxic effect was then evaluated in terms of apoptosis, the cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and caspase activity using fluorometric and luminometric methods. The TPC value of the extract was 58.97 ± 2.22 mg gallic acid equivalents per gram sample, and ascorbic acid and p-coumaric acid were detected as major phenolics in the extract. R. canina extract exhibited a selective cytotoxic effect on A549 and PC-3 cells compared to normal fibroblast cells. The extract induced cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and apoptosis via reduced MMP and increased caspase activity in these cells. Phytomedical applications of R. canina may represent promising approaches in the treatment of cancer.

    Robust Detection of Infrared Maritime Targets for Autonomous Navigation

    Wang, Bin; Benli, Emrah; Motai, Yuichi; Dong, Lili; Xu, Wenhai

    This paper addresses a problem on infrared maritime target detection robustly in various situations. Its main contribution is to improve the infrared maritime target detection accuracy in different backgrounds, for various targets, using multiple infrared wave bands. The accuracy and the computational time of traditional infrared maritime searching systems are improved by our proposed Local Peak Singularity Measurement (LPSM)-Based Image Enhancement and Grayscale Distribution Curve Shift Binarization (GDCSB)-Based Target Segmentation. The first part uses LPSM to quantize the local singularity of each peak. Additionally, an enhancement map (EM) is generated based on the quantitative local singularity. After multiplying the original image by the EM, targets can be enhanced and the background will be suppressed. The second part of GDCSB-Based Target Segmentation calculates the desired threshold by cyclic shift of the grayscale distribution curve (GDC) of the enhanced image. After binarizing the enhanced image, real targets can be segmented from the image background. To verify the proposed algorithm, experiments based on 13,625 infrared maritime images and five comparison algorithms were conducted. Results show that the proposed algorithm has solid performance in strong and weak background clutters, different wave bands, different maritime targets, etc.

    Numerical and Experimental Investigation on the Effects of a Nozzle Attachment to Plasma Torches for Plasma Atomization

    Yurtkuran, Emre; Ünal, Rahmi

    Plasma atomization technology is able to both melt and atomize a material which is fed into the converging plasma jets as a wire. Temperature and velocity distribution in a plasma jet obtained at the outer region of a plasma torch is very important to melt a solid wire and to disintegrate the liquid metal into fine spherical particles. In this study, a non-transferred arc plasma torch is designed and numerically solved for the determination of temperature and velocity distributions in the plasma jet. A high velocity nozzle attachment is assembled to plasma torches for increasing the jet velocity for atomization purposes. Results of numerical solutions with and without high velocity nozzle attachment are discussed and compared with experimental studies. It is found that high velocity nozzle attachment can be favourable in terms of the higher velocity and temperature distribution in the plasma jet at longer distances from the torch exit.

    Antimicrobial activity of coriandrum sativum L. And its effect on microbiological properties of yoghurt

    Gundogdu, E.; Tanriverdi, E.; Yildiz, H.

    In this study, the antimicrobial effect of Coriandrum sativum L. leaves against 30 different foodborne microorganisms, including 20 bacteria, 7 fungi, and 3 yeast species was tested, and some microbiological properties of yoghurt produced with lyophilized C. sativum L. were investigated. Yoghurts were prepared at three different concentrations of C. sativum L. powder (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% w/w) and stored at 4°C for 21 days. Ethanol extract of the fresh plant showed antimicrobial activity against only 9 bacteria and 1 yeast with different inhibition zone diameter changing from 8 to 12 mm, but had no effect on moulds used in this study. The addition of C. sativum L. had no statistical significance on the growth of yoghurt bacteria compared with the control sample and they remained over 8 log CFU g-1 in all yoghurts throught the storage period. On the other hand, an increase was observed in the number of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and a decrease in the number of Streptococcus thermophilus depending on the concentration of C. sativum L., but this was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). However, significant differences in yeast and mould counts were observed (P< 0.05). Yeasts and moulds were not detected in any of the samples containing C. sativum L. powder, whereas the counts of yeast and mould increased in control throught the storage period. These results show that the powder of C. sativum L. leaves can be used an agent for preventing the growth of yeast and mould, which are shelf-life and quality spoilage microorganisms of yoghurt.

    The economic and fiscal impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in Turkey and around the world

    Şahin, Muhammet

    Humanity has a long history of struggle against pandemics. Covid-19 is the most recent example of such kind of pandemics. Since its first outbreak appeared in China on December 31, 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic has spread rapidly across almost all over the globe within a few months. The Covid-19 has been a type of pandemic which requires compliance with social distancing rules, thereby it has caused both demand-side and supply-side slowdown in economic activities. It is estimated that as a result of the pandemics there will be a very sharp economic shrinkage, an increase in unemployment to the highest levels in the history and a significant decrease in global trade. Governments and international organizations have adopted various measures and incentive packages in order to overcome this problem. These packages mainly include monetary and fiscal tools; however, they have the risk of yielding an increase in government debts thus disrupting public fiscal equilibrium. This chapter aims to examine the economic and fiscal impacts of the pandemic and to examine practices both in Turkey and around the world accordingly.

    Prediction of mine drainage generation potential and the prevention method of the groundwater pollution in the Gümüşköy (Kütahya) mineralization area, NW Turkey

    Alemdag, Selcuk; Akaryali, Enver; Gücer, Mehmet Ali

    One of the leading factors of seepage contamination is mine drainage, which creates serious ecological risks on the environment both during operation and post-mining times. In this study, experimental processes have been carried out to determine the occurrence of mine drainage in the Gümüşköy (Kütahya) mineralization area (Northwest Turkey). The prevention method for potential mine drainage occurrence has been also discussed. High enrichment was observed which are directly related to mineralization in trace element concentrations, especially in potentially toxic metals such as Ag, Cd, Mo, Ba, Bi, and Zn. Based on short-term tests, mine drainage formation has not been expected according to the pH (7.36–9.38), contact leaching, and acid-base accounting studies. However, in the long-term, acid generation potential has been expected because of weathering and oxidation in terms of rock type and mineralization in the area. Therefore, in order to prevent groundwater contamination in the event of a possible formation of mine drainage, the hydraulic conductivity of the stock area bedrock was evaluated by the in situ tests performed in the field and it was found to be moderately permeable (K= 1.9 × 10−6 m/s). In order to make the stock area bedrock impermeable, natural clay will be laid and compressed at the base of the stock area. When the finite elements were modeled by seepage analysis, the seepage discharge to be formed on the base rock at a depth of 5 m was determined as 3.17 × 10−19 m3/s. Since the discharge value determined in the seepage analysis after modeling is very close to zero, contamination of possible ground and surface water will be prevented.

    Effect of detuning conditions on the performance of non-traditional tuned mass dampers under external excitation

    Araz, Onur

    The tuned mass damper (TMD) is a widely used passive control device which is attached to a main system to suppress undesired vibration. In this paper, a non-traditional form of TMD system is investigated. Unlike the traditional TMD configuration, the considered TMD system has a linear viscous damper connecting the absorber mass directly to the ground instead of the main mass. There have been some studies on the optimization design of the non-traditional TMD (NT-TMD) for undamped main structures. Those studies have indicated that the NT-TMD provides better performance than the traditional TMD does. When there is a frequency shifting in the structural frequency or tuning frequency of TMD, to the best knowledge of the authors, there has been no study on the performance of the NT-TMD. The main idea of the study is to investigate the effect of frequency detuning on the control performance of the NT-TMD. The optimum parameters of the NT-TMD system and corresponding effectiveness are obtained for different mass ratios of the NT-TMD system. The numerical results indicate that the NT-TMD with high mass ratio provides better robustness to the changes in the target frequency ratio than the traditional TMD.

    Kose, Oguz; Oktay, Tugrul

    Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to design a quadrotor with collective morphing using the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) optimization algorithm. Design/methodology/approach: Quadrotor design is made by using Solidworks drawing program and some mathematical performance relations. Modelling and simulation are performed in Matlab/Simulink program by using the state space model approaches with the parameters mostly taken from Solidworks. Proportional integral derivative (PID) approach is used as control technique. Morphing amount and the best PID coefficients are determined by using SPSA algorithm. Findings: By using SPSA algorithm, the amount of morphing and the best PID coefficients are determined, and the quadrotor longitudinal and lateral flights are made most stable via morphing. Research limitations/implications: It takes quite a long time to model the quadrotor in Solidworks and Matlab/Simulink with the state space model and using the SPSA algorithm. However, this situation is overcome with the proposed model. Practical implications: Optimization with SPSA is very useful in determining the amount of morphing and PID coefficients for quadrotors. Social implications: SPSA optimization method is useful in terms of cost, time and practicality. Originality/value: It is released to improve performance with morphing, to determine morphing rate with SPSA algorithm and to determine PID coefficients accordingly.

    Effect of antimonite mineralization area on heavy metal contents and geochemical fractions of agricultural soils in Gümüşhane Province, Turkey

    Sungur, Ali; Vural, Alaaddin; Gundogdu, Ali; Soylak, Mustafa

    In this study, the possible impacts of an antimonite mineralization area on agricultural lands with regard to heavy metal concentrations were examined. In this scope, surface soil samples (0–20 cm) were taken from a total of 27 locations including eleven from the Avliyana antimonite mineralization area (Torul, Gümüşhane-NW Turkey) and its surroundings, eleven from agricultural areas and five from the control area. Wet digestion method was used with aqua regia procedure for determining the total heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) concentrations of the soil samples. The geochemical fractions of heavy metals in soil samples were determined by way of a sequential extraction procedure. The total heavy metal contents of the soils were determined as: Ni > Cr > Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd for control soils, Cr > Ni > Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd for agricultural soils and Zn > Cu > Ni > Cr > Pb > Cd for mining area soils. It was determined that especially the values of Zn (57.6 ± 6.2 μg/g) and Cu (52.4 ± 5.8 μg/g) were high at the mineralization area due to hydrothermal alterations that are effective in the formation of mineralization. It was put forth as a result of sequential extraction that the heavy metals examined excluding Pb were observed dominantly in the residual fraction for all data set. On the other hand, it was determined that the non-residual mobile fractions reached from 11% Cr to 78% Pb in control soils, from 20% Cd to 88% Pb in agricultural soils and from 24% Cd to 87% Pb in mineralization area soils. Contamination signals due to mineralization area were monitored by way of the metal content in mobile fractions. Even though the metal concentrations determined in short term are not alarming for agricultural production, signals were observed especially for Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn elements to be more mobile in mineralization area soils in the long term due to the impact of environmental factors thereby being carried over to and accumulating in agricultural soils. In conclusion, while it is expected that the metal inputs due to mineralization areas may increase in the future, it is suggested to include plant analyses in future studies for determining the impact of the amount of bioavailable metal.
