This study investigates reliable models and methods to be applied in sound field analysis of multidomain structures. The case structures are two monuments, namely, Suleymaniye Mosque and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. These are both multi-volume spaces with many smaller sub-volumes coupled to each other by coupling apertures in form of arches. A key concern of the study is to examine energy flow decays and understand the mechanism of multi-slope sound energy decays. The methodology involves diffusion equation model (DEM) application in a finite-element scheme for sound energy flow analysis. Energy flow decays, energy flow dips, and spatial flow vectors are examined for single versus multi-domain DEM solutions. It is concluded that specification of different domains with individual diffusion coefficients is a critical setting such that, if not assigned correctly, may mislead the results. The energy flow vector analysis has enabled us to comprehend the architectural features in relation to such energy flow decay dip occurrence. The computational efficiency of DEM is also discussed. The DEM application in this study has proved to be a powerful and practical method in room acoustics applications, specifically for multi-rate decay investigations.

Guided stochastic search technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses: A design-driven heuristic approach
Azad, S. Kazemzadeh; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Saka, M. P. (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01)
This study presents a design-driven heuristic approach named guided stochastic search (GSS) technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses. The method works on the basis of guiding the optimization process using the well-known principle of virtual work as well as the information collected during the structural analysis and design stages. The performance of the proposed technique is investigated through a benchmark truss instance as well as four real-size trusses sized for minimum weight accordi...
Thermal analysis applications in fossil fuel science - Literature survey
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2002-01-01)
In this study, instances where thermal analysis techniques ( differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, etc.) have been applied for fossil fuel characterisation and kinetics are reviewed. The scientific results presented clearly showed that thermal analysis is a well-established technique used in fossil fuel research area. The literature survey showed that thermal methods were important not only theoretically but also from a practical point of view.
Ablation modeling for high speed internal and external flows
Onay, Oğuz Kaan; Eyi, Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2020)
In this thesis study, the ablation of graphitic materials is modeled and two different analysis tools are developed. In the first model, the computations are conducted with a decoupled approach. Secondly, a more generalized calculation method is introduced via coupling the flow field and solid conduction analysis codes. In the modeling studies, both the gas and solid domains are assumed to be axisymmetric and the physical domains are discretized with structured finite volume cells. For the flow field analys...
Parameter optimization of chemically activated mortaars containing high volumes of pozzolan by statistical design and analysis of experiments
Aldemir, Başak; Saatçioğlu, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
This thesis illustrates parameter optimization of early and late compressive strengths of chemically activated mortars containing high volumes of pozzolan by statistical design and analysis of experiments. Four dominant parameters in chemical activation of natural pozzolans are chosen for the research, which are natural pozzolan replacement, amount of pozzolan passing 45 æm sieve, activator dosage and activator type. Response surface methodology has been employed in statistical design and analysis of experi...
COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES ON NOVEL ENERGETIC MATERIALS: TETRANITRO-[2,2]PARACYCLOPHANES
Tuerker, Lemi; Atalar, Taner; Guemues, Selcuk (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
Computational studies on tetranitro derivatives of [2,2]paracyclophane are carried out at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. Optimized geometries, electronic structures and some thermodynamic properties have been obtained in their ground states. Also, detonation performances were evaluated by the Kamlet-Jacobs equations, based on the quantum-chemical calculated densities and heat of formation values. Aromaticities were investigated by performing NICS (nucleus independent chemical shift) calculations using th...
