This study is focused on the improvement on the porous material characterisation, measuring the transition stage between the saturated and dry phases, which has been defined in literature as the critical moisture content (Θc). This study develops a procedure based on Quantitative IR Thermography (QIRT) determining the effective Θc, as a physical property for the porous material. The Θc for San Marco bricks were examined in laboratory by QIRT and the standard gravimetric method (SGM). It was seen that QIRT can be used to determine the Θc and was also found to be more practical and sensitive than the SGM. The results obtained in the laboratory were promising to give the hints of methods for quantitative moisture content measurements and in-situ QIRT investigations. © 2006 Taylor & Francis Ltd.

Determination of critical submergence depth at horizontal intakes under asymmetric flow conditions Göğüş, Mustafa; Köken, Mete; Haspolat, Emre (2015-07-03) The purpose of the present study is to investigate the hydraulic conditions of air-entraining vortices under asymmetrical flow conditions and derive a general expression to determine the critical submergence depth required for the formation of these vortices at horizontal intake pipes. A series of experiments were conducted in a model composed of a concrete reservoir and intake pipe which was mounted horizontally to the reservoir. Three pipes of different diameters were tested with adjustable plexiglass sid...
Monitoring and modelling of moisture content with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Selçuk, Burak; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Department of Food Engineering (2022-11-04) The aim of this study is to observe the variation of the moisture content and drying rate over time, temperature, and position. Chickpea puree, eggplant, and apple were selected for drying, and the drying experiments were performed at 50-70°C for 3 h. The moisture content of samples was measured using oven, time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods. The changes in moisture content and drying rate with temperature and position were monitored. The drying rat...
Computation of Thermal Fracture Parameters for Inclined Cracks in Functionally Graded Materials Using Jk-Integral Dağ, Serkan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This article describes the formulation and implementation of the Jk-integral for the analysis of inclined cracks located in functionally graded materials (FGMs) that are subjected to thermal stresses. The generalized definition of the Jk-integral over a vanishingly small curve at the tip of an inclined crack is converted to a domain independent form that consists of area and line integrals defined over finite domains. A numerical procedure based on the finite element method is then developed, which allows t...
Determination of stresses in vlasov beam sections Erdoğan, Semih; Oral, Süha; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) In this thesis, the normal and shear stresses in Vlasov beams are determined. The shape of the considered cross-sections may be arbitrary. For the computation of shear stresses, two-dimensional triangular finite element formulations are developed. The stiffness matrices and force vectors are derived for transversal forces, uniform torsion, and nonuniform torsion. The proposed finite element algorithm is validated through the analytical solutions, structural engineering books, and related articles. The numer...
Simulation of hysteresis in soil-water retention with a correlation between the invading pressure to the governing effective flow area Sattari, Amir Shoarian; Siebelist, Marlena; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Wuttke, Frank (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-23) In order to determine the soil-water retention (SWR) behavior of a particulate medium, the invading phase pressure in the inter-particle level is correlated to the governing effective pore area in the wetting and drying paths. In a three-phase medium that consists of air, wetting fluid and solids, the invading phase on the drying path is air, whereas on the wetting path the wetting fluid advances into the cavities. On a drying path where the area of a cavity is minimum, the air-entry pressure (AEP) of a por...
