Conference Object High Strain Rate Reloading Compresson Testing of a Closed-Cell Alumnum Foam(The European Association for Experimental Mechanics, 2007) Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.Aluminum (Al) closed-cell foams are materials of increasing importance because they have good energy absorption capabilities combined with good thermal and acoustic properties. They can convert much of the impact energy into plastic energy and absorb more energy than bulk metals at relatively low stresses. When used as filling materials in tubes, they increase total energy absorption over the sum of the energy absorbed by foam alone and tube alone [1]. In designing with metallic foams as energy absorbing fillers, mechanical properties are needed for strain rates corresponding to those created by impact events. Quasi-static mechanical behavior of metallic foams has been fairly extensively studied, but data concerning high strain rate mechanical behavior of these materials are, however, rather sparse [2,3]. This study was initiated, therefore, to study and model the high strain rate mechanical behavior of an Al foam produced by foaming of powder compacts and to compare it with quasi-static behavior and, hence, determine any effect on energy absorbing capacity.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12The Effect of Strain Rate on the Compressive Deformation Behavior of a Sintered Ti6al4v Powder Compact(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Taşdemirci, Alper; Hızal, Alpay; Altındiş, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.; Güden, MustafaThe high strain rate (220–550 s−1) and quasi-static (0.0016 s−1) compression deformation behavior of a sintered Ti6Al4V powder compact was investigated. 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: 30Citation - Scopus: 33Processing and Compression Testing of Ti6al4v Foams for Biomedical Applications(Springer Verlag, 2009) Dizlek, Mustafa Eren; Güden, Mustafa; Türkan, Uğur; Taşdemirci, AlperOpen cell Ti6Al4V foams (60% porosity) were prepared at sintering temperatures between 1,200 and 1,350 °C using ammonium bicarbonate particles (315–500 μm) as space holder. The resulting cellular structure of the foams showed bimodal pore size distribution, comprising macropores (300–500 μm) and micropores (1–30 μm). Compression tests have shown that increasing sintering temperature increased the elastic modulus, yield and compressive strength, and failure strain of foams. The improvements in the mechanical properties of foams prepared using smaller size Ti64 powder with bimodal particle distribution were attributed to the increased number of sintering necks and contact areas between the particles. Finally, the strength of foams sintered at 1,350 °C was found to satisfy the strength requirement for cancellous bone replacement.
