A study on the stress-strain behavior of railroad ballast materials by use of parallel gradation technique
Kaya, Mustafa; Özkan, M. Yener; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
The shear strength, elastic moduli and plastic strain characteristics of scaled-down ballast materials are investigated by use of the parallel gradation technique. Uniformly graded ballast materials chosen for the investigation are limestone, basalt and steel-slag. Steel-slag is a byproduct material of Eregli Iron and Steel Works, which is suitable to meet the durability test requirements as well as the electrical resistivity and the waste contaminants regulatory level. Conventional triaxial testing at a st...
Production of hexagonal boron nitride by carbothermic reduction of colemanite-boric oxide mixtures
Kahramansoy, Eylem; Sevinç, Naci; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011)
Carbothermic production of hexagonal BN by using boric acid and ground colemanite mined from Bigadiç Region in Turkey was investigated by subjecting pellets prepared from B2O3, activated carbon and colemanite mixtures to nitrogen gas at 1500°C. Similar to CaCO3 addition, colemanite addition to the B2O3-C mixtures resulted in higher amounts of h-BN in the final products. As a result of the experiments conducted with colemanite and CaCO3 additions providing the same quantity of CaO to the initial mixtures, si...
An artificial neural network base prediction model and sensitivity analysis for Marshall Mix Design
Öztürk, Hande Işık; Demir, Birol; Gungor, Ahmet Gurkan (2016-06-03)
This study presents an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) volumetrics of mixtures prepared by following Marshall mix design procedure. The input data set of the model is determined to be the aggregate gradation, bulk specific gravity of aggregates, and binder content of the mixture based on the available data. The proposed ANN model utilizes one-layer Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation to predict the theoretical maximum specific gravity of the loose mixture (Gmm) and...
The Effect of dispersed phase feed rate on the production of pickering emulsions
Dönmez, Dila; Ayrancı Tansık, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2018)
Emulsions are fundamental in many applications such as food, petroleum, detergent, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Pickering emulsions are defined as emulsions of any type, either oil-in water, water-in-oil or even multiple, stabilized by solid particles instead of surfactants. Solid particles may prevent the droplets from coalescing by getting adsorbed at the interface, and thus stabilizing the emulsion. Pickering emulsions have more advantages over emulsions stabilized by surfactants in terms of s...
Influential factors on faculty performance in distance education
Kara, Mehmet; Yıldırım, Zahide; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2018)
This study aimed to identify the performance deficiencies of the faculty in distance education and to design interventions for performance improvement with a systemic perspective. Based on this aim, the study was conducted within the framework of Externality-Tangibility model for performance improvement and Transactional Distance theory. Concurrent embedded mixed methods research design, in which both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from distance education administrators, faculty, students,...
