Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Vibration Analysis and Optimal Design of Multiscale Hybrid Flax Fiber/ Graphene Nanoplatelets Reinforced Laminates Using Modified Differential Evolution Algorithm(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Ayakdas, Ozan; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Artem, H. Secil; Savran, Melih; Aydin, Levent; Adali, SarpOne of the relatively recent developments in composites is using different material combinations and nano-scale reinforcements such as Graphene Nanoplatelets (GPLs) to develop hybrid fiber composites. A further development is the use of natural flax fiber in composites in response to a growing demand over the past few decades for affordable, lightweight, and environmentally-friendly materials. In order to meet this growing demand, in the present study composites based on graphene nanoplatelets and flax fibers are investigated considering their weight, cost, and natural frequency implications. Furthermore, the Modified Differential Evolution (MDE) algorithm is implemented for the optimum design problems involving the stacking sequences and weight fractions of GPLs in each layer. For the optimal design problems, natural frequency is defined as the objective function with the design variables specified as the orientations of flax fibers and the weight contents of GPLs in each layer. The effective material properties are computed based on Halpin-Tsai and the rule of mixture formulations. Navier solution approach is implemented to solve the eigenvalue problems with the stiffness matrix based on the Firstorder Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). Optimal designs based on flax fibers, optimal GPL contents, and stacking sequences lead to efficient and environmentally-friendly composite plates. Optimum multiscale hybrid nanocomposite designs include high natural frequency, light weight, and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional carbon and glass fibers reinforced equivalents.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7A Comprehensive Study on Burst Pressure Performance of Aluminum Liner for Hydrogen Storage Vessels(ASME, 2021) Kangal, Serkan; Sayı, Abdülmecit Harun; Ayakdaş, Ozan; Kartav, Osman; Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Aktaş, Engin; Yücetürk, Kutay; Tanoğlu, Metin; Kandemir, Sinan; Beylergil, BertanThis paper presents a comparative study on the burst pressure performance of aluminum (Al) liner for type-III composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). In the analysis, the vessels were loaded with increasing internal pressure up to the burst pressure level. In the analytical part of the study, the burst pressure of the cylindrical part was predicted based on the modified von Mises, Tresca, and average shear stress criterion (ASSC). In the numerical analysis, a finite element (FE) model was established in order to predict the behavior of the vessel as a function of increasing internal pressure and determine the final burst. The Al pressure vessels made of Al-6061-T6 alloy with a capacity of 5 L were designed. The manufacturing of the metallic vessels was purchased from a metal forming company. The experimental study was conducted by pressurizing the Al vessels until the burst failure occurred. The radial and axial strain behaviors were monitored at various locations on the vessels during loading. The results obtained through analytical, numerical, and experimental work were compared. The average experimental burst pressure of the vessels was found to be 279 bar. The experimental strain data were compared with the results of the FE analysis. The results indicated that the FE analysis and ASSC-based elastoplastic analytical approaches yielded the best predictions which are within 2.2% of the experimental burst failure values. It was also found that the elastic analysis underestimated the burst failure results; however, it was effective for determining the critical regions over the vessel structure. The strain behavior of the vessels obtained through experimental investigations was well correlated with those predicted through FE analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Single- and Multiobjective Optimizations of Dimensionally Stable Composites Using Genetic Algorithms(Springer, 2021) Aydın, Levent; Artem, Hatice Seçil; Deveci, Hamza ArdaThe present study aims to design stacking sequences of dimensionally stable symmetric balanced laminated carbon/epoxy composites, with different numbers of layers, with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high elastic moduli. To avoid excessive interlaminar stresses in the composites, the contiguity constraint for plies is also taken into consideration. In the design process, both single- and multiobjective optimization approaches, including genetic algorithms, are utilized. Results showed that stacking sequences ensuring lower thermal expansion coefficients and higher elastic moduli than those of traditional laminate designs can be obtained.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 32Development and Analysis of Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels for Hydrogen Storage(SAGE Publications, 2021) Kartav, Osman; Kangal, Serkan; Yücetürk, Kutay; Tanoğlu, Metin; Aktaş, Engin; Artem, Hatice SeçilIn this study, composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for high-pressure hydrogen storage were designed, modeled by finite element (FE) method, manufactured by filament winding technique and tested for burst pressure. Aluminum 6061-T6 was selected as a metallic liner material. Epoxy impregnated carbon filaments were overwrapped over the liner with a winding angle of +/- 14 degrees to obtain fully overwrapped composite reinforced vessels with non-identical front and back dome layers. The COPVs were loaded with increasing internal pressure up to the burst pressure level. During loading, deformation of the vessels was measured locally with strain gauges. The mechanical performances of COPVs designed with various number of helical, hoop and doily layers were investigated by both experimental and numerical methods. In numerical method, FE analysis containing a simple progressive damage model available in ANSYS software package for the composite section was performed. The results revealed that the FE model provides a good correlation as compared to experimental strain results for the developed COPVs. The burst pressure test results showed that integration of doily layers to the filament winding process resulted with an improvement of the COPVs performance.
