Article Citation - WoS: 2Yielding of Radially Pressurized Functionally Graded Long Tubes Based on Von Mises Criterion(Gazi Univ, 2015) Akis, Tolga; Eren, OmurThe elastic behaviour of functionally graded long tubes with axially constrained ends subject to either internal or external pressure is investigated analytically. The modulus of elasticity and the yield limit of the tube material are assumed to vary radially in nonlinear forms. Making use of von Mises yield criterion, the effect of grading parameters on the yielding behavior of the tube is investigated and it is observed that for both pressure cases, the plastic flow may commence at the inner surface, at the outer surface or simultaneously at both surfaces depending on the functionally grading parameters.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2A Miniaturized Multi-Layer Microstrip Antenna for Linear Wireless Sensor Network Monitoring Systems(Gazi Univ, 2022) Kara, Ali; Aydın, Elif; Benzaghta, Mohamed; Er, Burak; Bilgin, GulsimaThis article presents a sub-GHz ISM band microstrip patch antenna based on the use of multi-layer compact structure, which overcomes the shortcomings of typical microstrip antennas such as low gain and high resonant frequency. The antenna was simulated using an electromagnetic simulator, ANSYS HFSS, and fabricated on two different substrates: RT Duroid 5880 and FR4 epoxy with a compact size of 100 x 100 x 8 mm3 (0.29λ × 0.29λ × 0.02λ). The simulated results of the antenna were then compared with the measured ones, and the two were observed to have a reasonable agreement. The proposed antenna operates in the sub-GHz license-free ISM band (862-875 MHz), with a gain value of 2.92 dB. Two prototypes of the proposed antenna were fabricated and used in a Linear Wireless Sensor Networks (LWSNs) monitoring system. Results show that the proposed antenna is a good candidate for those types of LWSNs systems.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Low Carbon Architectural Design(Gazi Univ, 2018) Balku, Saziye; Bal Kocyigit, Filiz; Architecture; Energy Systems EngineeringTendency towards sustainable energy resources is increasing and leading engineers and architects make joint efforts. Renewable energy potential present in nature can be used more efficiently so that while energy consumption is reducing, rate of energy gain, on the other hand, increases by architectural design methods. A sailing club in Golbasi, Ankara is designed as a low carbon building for optimum usage of solar and wind energy. It can be concluded using an energy efficient architectural design for a building before its construction makes it possible to meet the electrical and heat energy requirements at minimum cost and environmental friendly.Article Citation - WoS: 1Deposition and Characterization of ZnSnSe2 Thin-Films Deposited by Using Sintered Stoichiometric Powder(Gazi Univ, 2019) Bayrakli Surucu, Ozge; Gullu, Hasan HuseyinIn this work, ZnSnSe2 (ZTSe) thin films were deposited using crystalline powder grown by vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger technique. The deposition process was carried out by means of e-beam evaporation on the well-cleaned soda lime glass substrates and keeping them at the substrate temperature of 200 degrees C. The structural, optical and electrical properties of ternary ZTSe thin films were investigated depending on the annealing temperature at 250 and 300 degrees C. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that as-grown films were in amorphous structure, however annealing at 250 degrees C triggered the crystallization on the preferred ternary structure and annealing at 300 degrees C resulted in the changes from amorphous to the polycrystalline structure. Using the compositional analysis, the detail information about the stoichiometry and the segregation mechanisms of the constituent elements in the structure were determined for both as-grown and annealed samples. In addition, they were morphologically characterized using scanning electron microscopy technique. The electrical properties were analyzed using temperature dependent dark- and photo-conductivity measurements. From the variation of electrical conductivity as a function of the ambient temperature, the current transport mechanisms and corresponding activation energies at specific temperature intervals for each sample were determined. The optical properties for the ZTSe thin films were studied depending on the structural changes with annealing.Article Citation - WoS: 1Measuring Dependence Between Electricity Consumption and Economic Indicators Via Copulas: Turkish Case(Gazi Univ, 2018) Evkaya, O. Ozan; Yozgatligil, Ceylan; Selcuk-Kestel, A. Sevtap; MathematicsThis paper implements copulas to identify the dependence structure between electricity consumption and its cofounding indicators. To achieve this, Turkish electricity demand, its economic and sectoral indicators are taken into account. As a first step, bivariate copulas are used to identify the best fitting copula and the degree of the dependence. Thereafter, multivariate model is established using vine copulas using highly correlated variables. The empirical results confirm the added value of the proposed approach in determining numerous tail properties. We indicate that the copulas are useful to underline, especially, the tail properties of indicators in the market for decision makers.Article Citation - WoS: 3On the Yielding of Two-Layer Composite Spherical Pressure Vessels(Gazi Univ, 2017) Akis, TolgaThe yielding of two-layer composite spherical pressure vessels under either internal or external pressure is investigated analytically in the framework of small deformations and von Mises yield criterion. It is shown for both pressure cases that depending on the material properties and sphere dimensions, different modes of plasticization may take place. Unlike the deformation behavior of a single layer spherical pressure vessel, yielding may commence at the inner layer or at the outer layer or simultaneously at both layers of the assembly.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Refrigeration Technology in Anatolian Seljuk and Ottoman Period Hospitals(Gazi Univ, 2014) Ozcan, Zuhal; Disli, Gulsen; Interior Architecture and Environmental DesignThe precise identification of ancient refrigeration systems is problematic, since nearly every technological advance is the result of long accumulation of human experience shaped according to the environmental, cultural, social and climatic conditions of the period and region. Besides, the scarcity of firsthand documentary records doubles the problem. Therefore, in the course of the discussions, being aware of the difficulties of the subject matter, it was an important phase to fill the gap in the area of history of refrigeration technology by the help of the hospital cases in Anatolia. It takes the form of a case study that focuses as much on the context and motives for the possible refrigeration technologies used and applied in historical hospital buildings.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Comparison of Three Different Learning Methods of Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network for Wind Speed Forecasting(Gazi Univ, 2021) Bulut, Mehmet; Tora, Hakan; Buaisha, Dr.magdiIn the world, electric power is the highest need for high prosperity and comfortable living standards. The security of energy supply is an essential concept in national energy management. Therefore, ensuring the security of electricity supply requires accurate estimates of electricity demand. The share of electricity generation from renewables is significantly growing in the world. This kind of energy types are dependent on weather conditions as the wind and solar energies. There are two vital requirements to locate and measure specific systems to utilize wind power: modelling and forecasting of the wind velocity. To this end, using only 4 years of measured meteorological data, the present research attempts to estimate the related speed of wind within the Libyan Mediterranean coast with the help of ANN (artificial neural networking) with three different learning algorithms, which are Levenberg-Marquardt, Bayesian Regularization and Scaled Conjugate Gradient. Conclusions reached in this study show that wind speed can be estimated within acceptable limits using a limited set of meteorological data. In the results obtained, it was seen that the SCG algorithm gave better results in tests in this study with less data.Article Citation - WoS: 16A Gap in the Paper "a Note on Cone Metric Fixed Point Theory and Its Equivalence" [nonlinear Anal. 72(5), (2010), 2259-2261](Gazi Univ, 2011) Abdeljawad, Thabet; Karapinar, ErdalThere is a gap in Theorem 2.2 of the paper of Du [1]. In this paper, we shall state the gap and repair it.Article Common Fixed Point Theorem for Three Mappings in Banach Valued Norm Spaces(Gazi Univ, 2013) Karapinar, Erdal; Moradlou, Fridoun; Salimi, Peyman; MathematicsIn this paper, we give a generalized theorem on point of coincidence and common fixed point for three weakly compatible mappings in Banach valued norm spaces. We give a new method for construction of the sequence, which is convergence to the common fixed point of these three mappings.
