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: 17Citation - Scopus: 20Numerical and Experimental Studies of Damage Generation in a Polymer Composite Material at High Strain Rates(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Taşdemirci, Alper; Hall, Ian W.Samples of S2-glass/epoxy composites have been subjected to microstructural investigation after testing in compression at quasi-static and high strain rates using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. A numerical model was developed that accurately describes the high strain rate mechanical response of the samples. Moreover, in contrast with earlier phenomenological or constitutive models, the model can also predict a variety of failure modes such as delamination, matrix cracking or fiber crushing. High-speed photography was used to check the model results. Interrupted tests, followed by metallographic examination, have revealed that the sequence of damage events differs between quasi-static and high strain rate regimes. The effect of sample size on measured mechanical properties is noted and is confirmed via numerical modeling.Article Citation - WoS: 60Citation - Scopus: 70Foam Glass Processing Using a Polishing Glass Powder Residue(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Attila, Yiğit; Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, AlperThe foaming behavior of a powder residue/waste of a soda-lime window glass polishing facility was investigated at the temperatures between 700 and 950 °C. The results showed that the foaming of the glass powder started at a characteristic temperature between 670 and 680 °C. The maximum volume expansions of the glass powder and the density of the foams varied between 600% and 750% and 0.206 and 0.378 g cm−3, respectively. The expansion of the studied glass powder residue resulted from the decomposition of the organic compounds on the surfaces of the glass powder particles, derived from an oil-based coolant used in the polishing. The collapse stress of the foams ranged between ∼1 and 4 MPa and the thermal conductivity between 0.048 and 0.079 W K−1 m−1. Both the collapse stress and thermal conductivity increased with increasing the foam density. The foams showed the characteristics of the compression deformation of the open cell brittle foams, which was attributed to the relatively thick cell edges.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 28Stress Wave Propagation Effects in Two- and Three-Layered Composite Materials(SAGE Publications Inc., 2004) Taşdemirci, Alper; Hall, Ian W.; Gama, Bazle A.; Güden, MustafaMultilayer materials consisting of ceramic and glass/epoxy composites have been subjected to high strain rate compression testing using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The samples were extensively strain gaged so that dynamic data were generated directly from the samples during testing. Output data from the experiments were compared with numerical simulations of the same experiments and good agreement was noted. It was found that the stress distribution within samples was quite inhomogeneous and that stresses were highest in the region of the bar–sample interface. The presence of a rubber interlayer between the ceramic and glass/epoxy decreased the stress in both components but dramatically increased the degree of stress inhomogeneity.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 21Calcined and Natural Frustules Filled Epoxy Matrices: the Effect of Volume Fraction on the Tensile and Compression Behavior(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Gültürk, Elif; Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, AlperThe effects of calcined diatom (CD) and natural diatom (ND) frustules filling (0–12 vol.%) on the quasistatic tensile and quasi-static and high strain rate compression behavior of an epoxy matrix were investigated experimentally. The high strain rate testing of frustules-filled and neat epoxy samples was performed in a compression Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar set-up. The frustules filling increased the stress values at a constant strain and decreased the tensile failure strains of the epoxy matrix. Compression tests results showed that frustules filling of epoxy increased both elastic modulus and yield strength values at quasi-static and high strain rates. While, a higher strengthening effect and strain rate sensitivity were found with ND frustules filling. Microscopic observations revealed two main compression deformation modes at quasi-static strain rates: the debonding of the frustules from the epoxy and/or crushing of the frustules. However, the failure of the filled composites at high strain rates was dominated by the fracture of epoxy matrix.
