Conference Object Projectile Impact Testing Aluminum Corrugated Core Composite Sandwiches Using Aluminum Corrugated Projectiles: Experimental and Numerical Investigation(Trans Tech Publications, 2017) Odacı, İsmet Kutlay; Kılıçaslan, Cenk; Taşdemirci, Alper; Mamalis, Athanasios G.; Güden, MustafaE-glass/polyester composite plates and 1050 H14 aluminum trapezoidal corrugated core composite sandwich plates were projectile impact tested using 1050 H14 aluminum trapezoidal fin corrugated projectiles with and without face sheets. The projectile impact tests were simulated in LS-DYNA. The MAT_162 material model parameters of the composite were determined and then optimized by the quasi-static and high strain rate tests. Non-centered projectile impact test models were validated by the experimental and numerical back face displacements of the impacted plates. Then, the centered projectile impact test models were developed and the resultant plate displacements were compared with those of the TNT mass equal Conwep simulations. The projectiles with face sheets induced similar displacement with the Conwep blast simulation, while the projectiles without face sheets underestimated the Conwep displacements, which was attributed to more uniform pressure distribution with the use of the face sheets on the test plates. © 2018 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Article Citation - WoS: 100Citation - Scopus: 106Determination of Kozeny Constant Based on Porosity and Pore To Throat Size Ratio in Porous Medium With Rectangular Rods(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özkol, ÜnverKozeny-Carman permeability equation is an important relation for the determination of permeability in porous media. In this study, the permeabilities of porous media that contains rectangular rods are determined, numerically. The applicability of Kozeny-Carman equation for the periodic porous media is investigated and the effects of porosity and pore to throat size ratio on Kozeny constant are studied. The continuity and Navier- Stokes equations are solved to determine the velocity and pressure fields in the voids between the rods. Based on the obtained flow field, the permeability values for different porosities from 0.2 to 0.9 and pore to throat size ratio values from 1.63 to 7.46 are computed. Then Kozeny constants for different porous media with various porosity and pore to throat size ratios are obtained and a relationship between Kozeny constant, porosity and pore to throat size ratio is constructed. The study reveals that the pore to throat size ratio is an important geometrical parameter that should be taken into account for deriving a correlation for permeability. The suggestion of a fixed value for Kozeny constant makes the application of Kozeny-Carman permeability equation too narrow for a very specific porous medium. However, it is possible to apply the Kozeny-Carman permeability equation for wide ranges of porous media with different geometrical parameters (various porosity, hydraulic diameter, particle size and aspect ratio) if Kozeny constant is a function of two parameters as porosity and pore to throat size ratios.Article Citation - WoS: 62Citation - Scopus: 64Effects of Porosity on Heat and Mass Transfer in a Granular Adsorbent Bed(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Demir, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraIn the present study, the mechanism of heat and mass transfer in an annulus adsorbent is handled. The heat and mass transfer equations for the adsorbent bed and the mass balance equation for the adsorbent granules are numerically solved to obtain the distributions of temperature, pressure, adsorptive density and adsorbate concentration in the adsorbent bed. The study is performed for the silica gel-water pair and for three different values of porosity as 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3. The distributions of temperature and adsorbate concentration are considerably influenced from the bed porosity. The adsorption period increases with the increase of the porosity value. The porosity affects the pressure and adsorptive density distributions at the beginning of the process and after a relatively short time, the averages of these dependent variables approach to the final equilibrium state.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 41Development of Novel Multilayer Materials for Impact Applications: a Combined Numerical and Experimental Approach(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Taşdemirci, Alper; Hall, Ian W.A well-verified and validated numerical model was used to investigate stress wave propagation in a multilayer material subjected to impact loading. The baseline material consisted of a ceramic faceplate and composite backing plate separated by a rubber or teflon foam interlayer: several variants were investigated in which the number, type, and total thicknesses of the interlayers were altered. Comparison of the variants showed that the use of multiple teflon foam interlayers could drastically reduce the average stress in the multilayer material. Based on the numerical results, further experimental work was undertaken upon one of the variants. Very large and unexpected tensile stress oscillations were observed in the ceramic layers, leading to a refinement of the numerical model which successfully reproduced the oscillations and also demonstrated that separation of the sample layers led to trapping of the stress wave within the layers. Use of the validated numerical model allowed detailed analysis of the processes of wave transmission and demonstrates the important synergy that can exist between experimental and modeling studies. The current study provides a valuable starting point for designing future multilayer materials with specific, controlled properties.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 38The Effects of Plastic Deformation on Stress Wave Propagation in Multi-Layer Materials(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Taşdemirci, Alper; Hall, Ian W.The behavior of a multi-layer material at high strain rate and the effect of plastic deformation on stress wave propagation were investigated by a combination of experimental and numerical techniques. Plastic deformation effects were studied in multi-layer materials consisting of ceramic, copper and aluminum subjected to large strains under high strain rate loading. First, stress wave propagation behavior for the monolithic metals was studied, and then extended to multilayer combinations of these metals with each other and with a ceramic layer. The axial stress distributions were found to be non-uniform in the elastic deformation range of the specimen. The degree of non-uniformity was much more pronounced in the multi-layer samples consisting of different materials. The presence of a ceramic layer increased the magnitudes of stress gradients at the interfaces. It was also found that a major effect of plastic deformation is a tendency to produce a more homogeneous stress distribution within the components. The implications of these observations for practical systems are discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 30Single- and Double-Layer Aluminum Corrugated Core Sandwiches Under Quasi-Static and Dynamic Loadings(SAGE Publications Inc., 2016) Kılıçaslan, Cenk; Odacı, İsmet Kutlay; Güden, MustafaThe crushing of single- and double-layer zig-zag trapezoidal corrugated core sandwiches was investigated experimentally and numerically at quasi-static and dynamic rates. The buckling stress of sandwiches increased when the rate increased from quasi-static to dynamic. The increased buckling stresses were ascribed to the micro-inertial effects, which altered the buckling mode of the core from three plastic hinges to higher number of plastic hinge formations. The initial buckling stress was numerically shown to be imperfection sensitive when the imperfection size was comparable with the buckling length. The numerical buckling stresses of zig-zag and straight corrugated cores were similar, while higher inertial effects were found in triangular corrugated core.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 18Experimental and Numerical Investigation of High Strain Rate Mechanical Behavior of a [0/45 - 45] Quadriaxial E-glass/Polyester Composite(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Taşdemirci, Alper; Kara, Ali; Turan, Ali Kıvanç; Tunusoğlu, Gözde; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.Quasi-static (10−3–10−1 s−1) and high strain rate (∼900 s−1) compression behavior of an E-Glass fiber woven fabric reinforced Polyester matrix composites was investigated by using a Shimadzu AG-I testing machine and a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus in the Dynamic Testing and Modeling Laboratory of Izmir Institute of Technology. During the experiments, a high speed camera was used to determine deformation behavior. 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. Based upon these experimental data, a numerical model was developed using the commercial explicit finite element code LS-DYNA to investigate compressive deformation and damage behavior of composites. Excellent agreement was demonstrated for the case of high strain rate loading. Also, the fracture geometries were successfully predicted with the numerical model.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7An Iterative Numerical Method for Determination of Temperature-Dependent Friction Coefficients in Thermomechanical Model Analysis of Cold Bolt Forging(Springer Verlag, 2013) İnce, Umut; Güden, MustafaA set of temperature-dependent friction coefficients was developed to increase the accuracy of finite element (FE) simulations of cold bolt forging. The initially attained friction coefficients at different temperatures were calibrated with the iterations between the experimental and thermomechanical model extrusion test loads. The constant friction coefficient and the determined set of friction coefficients as function of temperature were then implemented to the simulations of the cold bolt-forging processes. Further calibrations and model validations were made based on the temperature measurements of the workpiece in the actual bolt-forging processes. To show the advantages of developed temperature-dependent friction coefficients, the loads of four different bolt-forging processes were compared with the thermomechanical model loads calculated using the constant friction and temperature-dependent friction coefficients. The modeling results indicated that the use of temperature-dependent friction coefficients in the FE simulations resulted in nearer temperature distributions and the loads of the workpiece during forging as compared with the use of a constant friction coefficient.
