Borik Asit Katkılı Tuğlalarda Gözeneklilik ve Basınç Dayanımının Monte Carlo Simülasyonu: Sıcaklık ve Katkı Oranının Etkileri

Öz

Bu çalışmada, borik asit katkılı tuğlaların gözeneklilik ve basınç dayanımı özellikleri Monte Carlo simülasyonu ile analiz edilerek, üretim süreçlerinde sıcaklık ve borik asit oranı değişimlerinin etkileri modellenmiştir. 1000 °C sıcaklık ve %2 borik asit içeriği koşullarında gerçekleştirilen 10.000 yinelemeli simülasyon sonucunda ortalama gözeneklilik %23,60 (standart sapma 1,60, %95 güven aralığı [20,52, 26,87]) olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ortalama basınç dayanımı ise 143,37 kgf/cm² (standart sapma 4,41, %95 güven aralığı [134,63, 151,92]) olarak hesaplanmıştır. Duyarlılık analizine göre, gözeneklilik ile sıcaklık arasında negatif korelasyon (-0,302), basınç dayanımı ile sıcaklık (0,225) ve borik asit oranı (0,162) arasında pozitif korelasyon bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar tuğla üretiminde malzeme performansının iyileştirilmesi için değerli bilgiler sunmaktadır.

Monte Carlo Simulation of Porosity and Compressive Strength in Boric Acid-Added Bricks: Effects of Temperature and Additive Ratio

Öz

In this study, the porosity and compressive strength properties of boric acid added bricks were analyzed by Monte Carlo simulation and the effects of temperature and boric acid ratio changes were modeled. As a result of 10,000 iterations of simulation performed at 1000°C temperature and 2% boric acid content conditions, the average porosity was calculated as 23.60% (standard deviation 1.60, 95% confidence interval [20.52, 26.87]). The average compressive strength was calculated as 143.37 kgf/cm² (standard deviation 4.41, 95% confidence interval [134.63, 151.92]). According to the sensitivity analysis, a negative correlation was found between porosity and temperature (-0.302), and a positive correlation was found between compressive strength and temperature (0.225) and boric acid ratio (0.162). These results provide valuable information for optimizing material performance in brick production.
