    Sic-Particulate Aluminum Composite Foams Produced by Powder Compacts: Foaming and Compression Behavior
    (Springer Verlag, 2003) Elbir, Semih; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Güden, Mustafa; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.; Yılmaz, Selahattin; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The foaming behavior of SiC-particulate (8.6% by volume) aluminum composite powder compacts contained Titanium Hydride blowing agent was investigated by heating above the melting temperature (750°C) in a pre-heated furnace. Aluminum powder compacts were also prepared and foamed using similar compaction and foaming parameters in order to determine the effect of SiC-particulate addition on foaming and compression behavior. The linear expansions of the compacts at various furnace holding times were ex situ determined. Optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to characterize prepared and deformed foams microstructures. The SiC-particulate addition was found to increase the linear expansion and reduce the extent of the liquid metal drainage and cell coarsening of the aluminum compacts. The composite foam samples also showed higher compressive stresses, but a more brittle behavior as compared with aluminum foams.

    Finite Element and Coupled Finite Element/Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics Modeling of the Quasi-Static Crushing of Empty and Foam-Filled Single, Bitubular and Constraint Hexagonal- and Square-Packed Aluminum Tubes
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Aktay, Levent; Kröplin, Bernd Helmut; Güden, Mustafa; Güden, Mustafa; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The quasi-static axial crushing behavior of empty and Al and polystyrene foam-filled Al single, bitubular and multi-tube-packed (hexagonal and square packing) configurations were investigated experimentally and numerically. Tubes were modeled using finite element and coupled finite element/smooth particle hydrodynamics. The numerical specific absorbed energy (SAE) values, deformation patterns, load values and number of folds formed were found to show agreements with those of experiments. Among the tested tube configurations only hexagonal- and square-packed empty tube designs showed increased SAE values over that of single empty tube. Furthermore, foam-filled multi-tube designs both hexagonal- and square-packed designs were found energetically more efficient than Al foam-filled single tubes at similar foam filler densities. The increased SAE values of multi-tubes were attributed to the frictional forces of the multi-tube designs and constraining effect of the die walls accommodating the tubes.
