    DRY SLIDING WEAR PROPERTIES OF Al-7Si-4Zn-(0-5)Cu ALLOYS

    Alemdag, Y.; Beder, M.

    In this study, one ternary Al-7Si-4Zn and five quaternary Al-7Si-4Zn-(1-5) Cu alloys were synthesised by permanent mould casting. Dry sliding friction and wear properties of the alloys were investigated by using ball-on-disc type tester after determining their microstructure and mechanical properties. The microstructure of the Al-7Si-4Zn alloy consisted of aluminium-rich alpha-dendrites, eutectic and primary silicon particles. Addition of copper less than 2% had no considerable effect on the microstructure of ternary alloy, but when the copper content exceeded this level the theta (CuAl2) phase formed in the microstructure of the quaternary alloys. The tensile strength and hardness of the alloys and microhardness of alpha-phase increased with increasing amount of copper but their percentage of elongation decreased with it. Copper addition up to 3% reduced the friction coefficient and volume loss of the alloys, above which they showed an increase. The wear surfaces of the alloys were characterised by smearing and de-lamination, but smearing appeared to be the dominant mechanism for their wear. The highest wear resistance was obtained with the Al-7Si-4Zn-3Cu alloy while the Al-7Si-4Zn alloy had the lowest wear resistance among the alloys tested.

    Time dependent changing of dynamic characteristics of laboratory arch dam model

    Altunişik, Ahmet Can; Sevİm, Barış; Bayraktar, Alemdar; Adanur, Süleyman; Günaydin, Murat

    This paper investigates the time dependent changing of dynamic characteristics of laboratory arch dam models using ambient vibration test. For this aim, a prototype arch dam-reservoir-foundation model is constructed in laboratory conditions. The first experimental measurement tests are performed after the poured concrete aged for 10 months for some damage scenarios such as undamaged, minor-damaged and severely damaged of dam body in November 2009. To extract the experimental dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios, a small impact effect is used as a source of ambient vibrations. Experimental measurements tests are repeated using same excitations considering severely damaged conditions with and without reservoir water in February 2014, and the dynamic characteristics are obtained, experimentally. Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition Method in the frequency domain is used to extract the experimental dynamic characteristics. At the end of the study, experimentally identified dynamic characteristics are compared with each other and time effects are investigated in detail. Maximum differences between the natural frequencies obtained as 15.36% and 14.38% in the third mode for empty and full reservoir conditions, respectively. It is thought that the increase of the natural frequencies is resulted from gaining of rigidity of the concrete, ageing, temperature and different environmental effects.

    Assessment of bearing capacity and permeability of foundation rocks at the Gumustas Waste Dam Site (NE Turkey) using empirical and numerical analysis

    Alemdag, Selcuk

    In this study, the bearing capacity and permeability of andesite and andesitic breccia rock masses, forming the basement for Gumustas waste dam, planned as a rock fill housing, were evaluated using various empirical equations and numerical analysis. The total stress constituting over the basement caused through ore waste building up in the body of dam and reservoir was determined by a finite element method. Then, this stress was compared with bearing capacities calculated for the rock masses. The permeability of rock masses in dam site and the lake were appraised with pressure water test experiments (Lugeon method), performed within opened bore holes and finite element method (seepage analysis). Since chemicals seeping from waste dams into the ground water are of vital importance for human health and the environment, the dam body must be made completely impervious using upstream slope and reservoir geosynthetics.

    Acethylcholinesterase inhibitory potential and antioxidant properties of pyrogallol

    Ozturk Sarikaya, S. Beyza

    Pyrogallol is found naturally in crops and fruits of many plants. It is also an active ingredient of many pharmaceuticals. For this reason, we employed different in vitro antioxidant assays such as cupric ion Cu2+ reducing power, Fe3+ reducing power, total antioxidant activity by ferric thiocyanate method, ABTS radical scavenging, DMPD radical scavenging, DPPH • scavenging, Fe2+ chelating, O2•- scavenging and H2O2 scavenging activities of pyrogallol. Pyrogallol inhibited 77.95% lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion at 30 μg/mL concentration. BHA, BHT, α-tocopherol and trolox exhibited inhibitions of 89.88, 89.97, 83.82 and 91.85% against peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion at the same concentration, respectively. In addition, pyrogallol was an effective of all the scavenging and reducing power results. In this study, pyrogallol was also evaluated as potential inhibitor for acethycholinesterse enzyme. The results showed that pyrogallol exhibited potent acetylcholinesteras inhibitory activity with IC50 and Ki values 10.2 and 8.6 μM, respectively.

    A study on the correlations between seismotectonic b-value and Dc-value, and seismic quiescence Z-value in the western anatolian region of Turkey

    Öztürk, Serkan

    The Western Anatolian region is one of the most seismically active sectors of Turkey where small-magnitude events with considerable clustering occur frequently. The spatial and temporal behaviors of seismic activity as quantified by the fractal dimension Dc-value, seismotectonic b-value and seismic quiescence Z-value are investigated for the Western Anatolian region. For this purpose, a statistical relationship is developed between b and Dc-values, and regional and temporal changes of these parameters are analyzed in order to reveal the potential of future earthquakes in the study region. By using standard deviate Z-value, current seismicity rate changes are estimated in the beginning of 2014. The Western Anatolian region is divided into 18 different seismogenic subregions. Orthogonal regression fit is preferred in order to estimate more up-to-date and reliable statistical correlation between two seismotectonic parameters. The relationship of Dc=2.74-0.29*b is computed with a significant negative correlation (r = -0.73) between b and Dc-values for the Western Anatolian earthquake distributions. There are clear fluctuations in the temporal changes of these two parameters and the same results are relatively obtained in previous studies in literature. Lower b-values smaller than 1.0 and also higher Dc-value are observed in the Burdur fault zone and Kütahya graben. In addition, the regions in which the lower b-values and the higher Z-values are estimated cover the Burdur fault zone, Aliağa-Dumlupınar faults and Bakırçay grabens. Consequently, the relationships between seismic bvalue, fractal dimension Dc-value and seismic quiescence Z-value may provide important evidences to put forth the next earthquake potential in Western Anatolia. In addition, monitoring of microseismic activity and behaviors of some other geophysical parameters should be analyzed in space and time and evaluated carefully.

    Optimization of electrical power transmission lines' routing using AHP, fuzzy AHP, and GIS

    Eroʇlu, Hasan; Aydin, Musa

    With the increase of people's need for energy, electrical energy transmission has become a very important issue as well as electrical power generation. One of the most important problems in energy transmission is finding the best route in a very complex study area. To date, many people from different disciplines have come together to find the best routes by manual methods like using paper maps and deciding which route is the least-cost path (LCP) to the destination point. Today it is known that, in engineering problems, and especially in path-finding or site-placing problems, the Geographic Information System (GIS) is the most powerful tool. On the other hand, as finding the best route is a very complicated problem and many criteria should be considered, including slope, landslide, road/railway/pipeline crossing, ice zones, distances to roads, national parks, archaeological areas, residential areas forests, and river crossings, multicriteria decision methods like the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) should be used to make the most accurate decisions. In this study, the AHP and FAHP are used to weight criteria relevant to energy transmission line (ETL) routing. According to the criteria, digital maps of the sample study area are edited, weighted, converted to raster-based format, and gathered using the Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS Desktop 10 software. After generation of the weighted surface map, the LCP tool is used to find the best route. By selecting different start and end points in the sample study area, accuracy and performance of the best routes according to the LCP algorithm are assessed and some problems of the routes for ETL routing are presented. With this study, mistakes by manual methods will decrease in ETL routing and other routing problems.
