    Experimental and Statistical Analysis of Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Composites Interleaved With Nylon 6,6 Nonwoven Fabric Interlayers
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2020) Beylergil, Bertan; Tanoğlu, Metin; Aktaş, Engin
    Thermoplastic interleaving is a promising technique to improve delamination resistance of laminated composites. In this study, plain-weave carbon fiber/epoxy composites were interleaved with nylon 6,6 nonwoven fabrics with an areal weight density of 17 gsm. The carbon fiber/epoxy composite laminates with/without nylon 6,6 nonwoven fabric interlayers were manufactured by VARTM technique. Double cantilever beam fracture toughness tests were carried out on the prepared composite test specimens in accordance with ASTM 5528 standard. The experimental test data were statistically analyzed by two-parameter Weibull distribution. The results showed that the initiation and propagation fracture toughness Mode-I fracture toughness of carbon fiber/epoxy composites could be improved by about 34 and 156% (corresponding to a reliability level of 0.50) with the incorporation of nylon 6,6 interlayers in the interlaminar region, respectively. The results also revealed that the percent increase in the propagation fracture toughness value was 67 and 41% at reliability levels of 0.90 and 0.95, respectively.

    Offshore Wind Energy Estimation in the Bay of Bengal With Satellite Wind Measurement
    (IEEE, 2019) Nadi, Navilla Rahman; Badger, Merete; Bingöl, Ferhat
    The objective of this paper is to obtain appropriate offshore location in the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh for further development of wind energy. Through analyzing the previous published works, no offshore wind energy estimation has been found related to the Bay of Bengal. Therefore, this study can be claimed as the first footstep towards offshore wind energy analysis for this region. Generally, it is difficult to find offshore wind data relative to the wind turbine hub heights, thus a starting point is necessary to identify the possible wind power density of the region. In such scenario, Synthetic Aperture radars (SAR) have proven useful in previous studies. In this study, SAR based dataset- ENVISAT ASAR has been used for Wind Atlas generation of the Bay of Bengal. Furthermore, a comparative study has been performed with Global Wind Atlas (GWA) to determine a potential offshore wind farm production in a reasonable location at the bay. The annual energy production of that offshore windfarm has been analyzed by combining SAR, GWA and ASCAT datasets. Through ASAR based Wind Atlas and GWA comparison, some differences have been found where there are less samples from the ASAR datasets. Thus, Weibull statistical analysis are performed to have a better Weibull fitting and accurate estimation of Annual Energy production (AEP). The study summarizes that, satellite datasets can be a very useful method to detect potential zone if compared with any long time statistical result and bathymetry data together. © 2019 IEEE.

    Shear Strength of Pultruded Composite Pins With External Confinement
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014) Beylergil, Bertan; Aktaş, Alaattin; Pekbey, Yeliz
    Weight reduction using composites has gained increasing attention in recent times. In this study, pultruded composite pins (unconfined and confined) were manufactured and tested by using a custom double shear testing fixture. Different configurations were applied for confinement of the composite pins, including weft-knitted fabrics (plain, 1 × 1 rib, and Milano), woven fabrics and E-glass 130 tex fibers/adhesive cloth. They were externally wrapped and bonded to the unconfined composite pins. In each case, five identical specimens were tested, and shear strength data were analyzed by using two-parameter Weibull statistics. The results showed that the maximum shear strength took its highest value in the unconfined case for both average values of the test results and for 99% reliability under Weibull distribution. The confinement had a negative effect on the average shear strength of the unconfined pins. It was also seen that the 99% reliability values of shear strength were approximately equivalent to the 0.7 average value of the shear strength.
