Çok katmalı yapıların bozulma analizi için yarı-analitik sonlu eleman modellenmesi
Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Izmir, 2017Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 65-68)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and EnglishUltrasonic guided waves are frequently employed for Non-destructive tests
(NDT), and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) applications in the industry. Several
analytical and numerical approaches have been developed in order to investigate guided
wave behavior on multilayered structures.
In this thesis, guided waves were investigated using the Semi-Analytical Finite
Element (SAFE) approach on planar (plate like) structures. The guided wave theory and
dispersive behavior in bounded structure were presented for Lamb waves for isotropic
elastic plate model first. The numerical method to solve the SAFE problem was
developed using the Matlab 2014b in order to obtain dispersion curves. The curves were
compared with the Disperse Software, which utilizes global matrix approach for
analytical solution of the same problem. Good agreement was achieved on obtained
dispersion curves.
As a second part of this study, dispersion analysis was carried out in a multilayer
plate model consisting of elastic and viscoelastic materials. The semi-analytical
finite element method was solved by adapting the hysteretic damping model so that it
can also be applied in a damped plate model. Phase velocity and attenuation dispersion
curves were illustrated and the effect of the viscoelastic layer thickness is also
discussed. The obtained attenuation dispersion curves in this damped plate
configuration are examined for wave modes with low-attenuation. The dispersion curve
results obtained using the SAFE method was also compared with the results of studies
available in literature.Ultrasonik yönlendirilmiş dalgalar, endüstrideki Tahribatsız Muayene (NDT) ve

This can promote more sustainable and resilient food systems in Europe in follow-up of the European Commission's Farm to Fork strategy and support the global transition to more sustainable agri-food systems with the common agricultural and fisheries policies. With its high nutrient content, waste and by-products originating from fish and seafood industry (including aquaculture) are one of the most promising candidates to produce alternative fertilising products which can play a crucial role to replace synthetic mineral fertilisers. Whereas several studies highlighted the opportunities to recover valuable compounds from fishery waste, study towards their potential for the production of fertilising products is still scarce. This study presents an extensive overview of the characteristics of fishery waste and by-products (i.e., fish processing waste, fish <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/sludge">sludge</a>, seafood waste/by-products), the state-of-the-art nutrient recovery <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/science-and-technology">technologies</a> and recovered nutrients as fertilising products from these waste streams. The European Commission has already adopted a revised Fertilising Products Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 providing opportunities for fertilising products from various bio-based origins. In frame of this opportunity, we address the quality and safety aspects of the fishery waste-derived fertilising products under these criteria and highlight possible obstacles on their way to the market in the future. Considering its high nutrient content and vast abundance, fish sludge has a great potential but should be treated/refined before being applied to soil. In addition to the parameters currently regulated, it is crucial to consider the <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/salinity">salinity</a> levels of such fertilising products as well as the possible presence of other micropollutants especially <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/microplastics">microplastics</a> to warrant their safe use in agriculture. The agronomic performance of fishery waste-derived fertilisers is also compiled and reported in the last section of this review paper, which in most cases perform equally to that of conventional synthetic fertilisers.</p>
Targeted Bio-Based Volatile Fatty Acid Production from Waste Streams through Anaerobic Fermentation: Link between Process Parameters and Operating Scale
Anaerobic processes are proven to have much more environmental and economic benefits than conventional aerobic treatment systems, offering sustainable energy and valuable biochemicals. In recent years, bio-based volatile fatty acid (VFA) production has come into prominence as more value is derived before ending up with other final products. This paper presents a critical review of the research studies on bio-based VFA production from different waste streams (i.e., industrial sludge/waste, organic fraction of municipal solid waste/food waste, municipal wastewater/sludge, combined streams) through anaerobic fermentation. Fundamentals and decisive process parameters (i.e., pH, temperature, retention time, organic loading rate) are reviewed, and their correlations with VFA yields are critically discussed based on 178 cases (156 lab- and 22 pilot-scale). The picture we provided clearly demonstrates that process parameters should be clearly defined and optimized according to the type of waste streams which may have a significant impact on downstream processes in most cases

Lessons learnt from different inoculation strategies for pilot-scale start-up of partial nitritation for landfill leachate treatment
Conventional biological processes are not enough to achieve desired removal efficiencies from N-rich waste streams such as landfill leachate. In this aspect, start-up phase of a sequencing batch reactor was monitored that treated landfill leachate through a nitritation (LPN) process. The reactor was inoculated from two different sources with distinctive microbial compositions. The acclimatized sludge, taken from a leachate intermittent aeration reactor, failed to establish nitritation but instead developed a nitrification process initially (N-NO3 > 500 mg/l and N-NO2 almost null) and showed no biological activity afterwards. The latter non-acclimatized sludge taken from a conventional activated sludge (CAS) reactor achieved N-NH4 removal up to 96%. Although the nitrite oxidizing genus Nitrospira was abundant in the CAS, it was not further detected in the LPN system. Moreover, the enrichment of ammonia oxidizing genus Nitrosomonas in the LPN was consistent with the establishment of an efficient nitritation process. (c) 2022 The Author(s).
