Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Numerical and Experimental Studies of High Strain Rate Mechanical Behavior of E-glass/Polyester Composite Laminates(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2010) Tunusoğlu, Gözde; Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.Quasi-static ∼10-3 s-1) and high strain rate (∼850 s-1) compression behavior of an E-glass/polyester composite was determined in the through-thickness and in-plane directions. In both directions, modulus and failure strength increased with increasing strain rate. Higher strain rate sensitivity for both elastic modulus and failure strength was observed in the in-plane direction. A numerical model was developed to investigate the compressive deformation and fracture of an E-glass/polyester composite. Excellent agreement was demonstrated for the case of high strain rate loading. Also, the fracture geometries were successfully predicted with the numerical model.Conference Object Off-Axis Properties of Cross-Ply Metal Matrix Composites at Quasi-Static and High Strain Rates(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Hall, Ian W.; Taşdemirci, Alper; Kara, AliCylindrical samples of a 0/90° cross-ply Nextel 610™/A1-6061 (∼55Vf%) metal matrix composite have been subjected to compression testing at quasi-static and high strain rates over a range of angles between 0° and ±45° with respect to the principal fiber directions. The results, combined with testing in the longitudinal, transverse and through thickness directions, provide a detailed description of the response of such composites over a wide range of orientations. In addition, metallographic and fractographic studies along with high-speed camera records provide detailed information about the sequence of deformation events leading to fracture. Results confirm not only the strong dependence of mechanical properties upon orientation but also the critical importance of precise fiber alignment and processing in obtaining the desired theoretical properties. A misalignment of 10° was sufficient to cause an -40% decrease in maximum stress and the properties were found to vary by >70% over the orientations investigated. The high strain rate properties were generally significantly greater than those measured quasi-statically. A numerical model based on the commercial explicit finite element code LS-DYNA was used to investigate the compressive deformation and fracture of the composite. Experimental results are compared with those of the numerical model. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Quasi-Static and High Strain Rate Properties of a Cross-Ply Metal Matrix Composite(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Hall, Ian W.; Taşdemirci, Alper; Derrick, J.A series of compression tests has been carried out at quasi-static and high strain rates on cylindrical samples of an alumina fiber/Al-6061 metal matrix composite. The composite plates were prepared with fibers in the 0°, 0/90° and ±45° orientations. It was found that the mechanical properties were strongly dependent upon the imposed strain rate, with fracture stress increases of >50% being noted for several orientations at high strain rates: these increases are not believed to be related to strain rate sensitivity of either the matrix or fibers but to arise from the inertia of fragments which remain in place after fracture and continue to bear load. Also, and in contradiction to behavior anticipated from the rule of mixtures, it was found that 0/90° samples exhibited properties superior to those of 0° unidirectional samples. High-speed photography was used to confirm the sequence of deformation and fracture events at high strain rate. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

The compact was prepared using atomized spherical particles (100–200 μm) and contained 38 ± 1% porosity. The deformation sequences of the tested samples were further recorded by high speed camera and analyzed as a function of strain. The failure of the compact, which was found to be similar in the studied high strain rate and quasi-static strain rate testing regimes, occurs through particle decohesion along the surface of the two cones in a ductile (dimpled) mode consisting of void initiation and growth and by void coalescence in the interparticle bond region. The effect of strain rate was to increase the flow stress and compressive strength of the compact while the critical strain corresponding to the maximum stress was shown to be strain rate independent.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 25Quasi-Static and Dynamic Crushing of Empty and Foam-Filled Tubes(Springer Verlag, 2001) Hall, Ian W.; Ebil, Özgenç; Güden, Mustafa; Yu, C.-J.Metallic foam-filled tubes and their empty counterparts have been tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates in order to determine their energy absorption capabilities. Data from the Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar have been used to generate force vs. displacement curves that are somewhat analogous to pseudo-engineering stress-strain curves. Force balance calculations have also been made. These results indicate that, on an equal weight basis, foam-filled tubes offer greater energy absorption capability than empty tubes at quasi-static strain rates. However, the benefit of foam filling does not appear to be extended to strain rates of the order of 200–500 s−1. Force balance calculations are shown to have potential as a method for monitoring the crushing of metallic foams at high strain rate.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 14Quasi-Static and Dynamic Compression Behaviour of an Fptm Alumina-Reinforced Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite(Springer Verlag, 1998) Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.An aluminium metal matrix composite reinforced with continuous unidirectional α-alumina fibres has been compression tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates. In the transverse direction, the composite showed increasing flow stress (at 5% strain) and maximum stress within the studied strain rates, 10−3−3 × 103 s−1. In the longitudinal direction, the maximum stress of the composite increased similarly with increasing strain rates within the range 10−5−7 × 102 s−1. It is shown that, if brooming of the sample ends can be suppressed, the failure stress of the composite in longitudinal compression increases significantly. Metallographic observations reveal the typical modes of damage initiation in the composite.Article Citation - WoS: 44Dynamic Properties of Metal Matrix Composites: a Comparative Study(Elsevier Ltd., 1998) Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.Three distinctly different metal matrix composites have been tested at strain rates from quasi-static to ≈3000 s−1. It was found that the high strain rate response of each composite was determined primarily by (a) the response of the matrix in the absence of any reinforcement and (b) the damage formation and accumulation processes during deformation. High strain rate behavior of the short fiber composite was dominated by the matrix behavior at low strains but by fiber damage at high strains. The behavior of a whisker reinforced composite was dominated by the matrix properties at all strains. Re-loading tests produced increased fracture strains, indicating that adiabatic heating accelerates fracture of composites by permitting the development of local strain instabilities.
