    Homogenization of 3d Laminated Micro-Structures Including Bending Effects
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Oezdemir, Izzet
    In this paper, a homogenization method which captures intrinsic size effect associated with fiber diameter is revisited and adapted for three-dimensional laminated micro -structures. Based on a unit-cell composed of matrix and reinforcement layers, enhanced deformation gradients varying through the thickness, are introduced with the aid of an additional kinematic variable reflecting the difference between the homogenized and constituent level deformation gradients. In the current work, as opposed to the original formulation, higher order terms are preserved for both phases and therefore bending stiffness of the matrix phase can be taken into account as well. The formulation is implemented within the commercial finite element solver Abaqus through user element (UEL) subroutine considering a finite strain hyperelastic response for the reinforcement layers and a von Mises type hyper-elastoplastic one for the matrix phase. Explicitly discretized unit-cells with varying reinforcement phase fraction, layer inclination angle and layer thicknesses are used as references to assess the predictive capabilities of the homogenized model and the significance of bending stiffness of the phases. Similarly, explicitly discretized model of a beam type structure with a crossed lamellar micro -structure is used to evaluate the performance of the homogenized model under more general, non-periodic boundary conditions. The findings of both cases support the effectiveness of the homogenized model.

    A 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, Bertan
    This 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.

    Optimization of Hip Implant Designs Based on Its Mechanical Behaviour
    (Springer, 2022) Göktaş, Hasan; Subaşı, Eda; Uzkut, Metin; Kara, Mustafa; Biçici, Hamit; Shirazi, Hadi; Mihçin, Şenay
    Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is one of the best advancements in healthcare. THA is required when the hip joint causes immobility and pain. The designed hip implants vary in geometry with different geometrical parameters. The geometry plays an important role in the mechanical behavior of the hip implant. In this study, the optimum selection of hip implant under static loading was evaluated using Finite Element Modeling (FEM). Hip implants with three different stem cross-sections including. (a) elliptic, (b) oval, and (c) trapezoidal were designed using a commercial Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software package. The FEM analysis was carried out via ANSYS R2019 to assess the key mechanical parameters of the implants such as stress distribution and deformation. The results were evaluated for the best stress and strain values. The optimum design had equivalent stress (von Misses) of 258,1 MPa, equivalent strain of 0.004, with total deformation of 0.24 mm and frictional stress of 0.362 MPa producing best values for trapezoidal cross-sectioned design. The findings of this study provided an insight into the selection of appropriate hip implant design with certain geometric design parameters to produce optimum results in clinical applications. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Free Vibration Analysis of Damaged Composite Beams
    (Techno Press, 2015) Cünedioğlu, Yusuf; Beylergil, Bertan
    In this study, free vibration analyses of symmetric laminated cantilever and simply supported damaged composite beams are investigated by using finite element method (FEM). Free vibration responses of damaged beams are examined using Euler Bernoulli beam and classical lamination theories. A computer code is developed by using MATLAB software to determine the natural frequencies of a damaged beam. The local damage zone is assumed to be on the surface lamina of the beam by broken fibers after impact. The damaged zone is modeled as a unidirectional discontinuous lamina with 0 degrees orientations in this study. Fiber volume fraction (v(f)), fiber aspect ratio (L-f/d(f)), damage length (L-D) and its location (lambda/L), fiber orientation and stacking sequence parameters effects on natural frequencies are investigated. These parameters are affected the natural frequency values significantly.

    Magnetically Driven Foldable Shell Type Swimmers at Stokes Flow
    (Springer, 2019) Özdemir, İzzet
    This paper focuses on the interaction of low Reynolds number (Re) flows and thin shell type deformable structures in the context of flexible body locomotion and addresses the coupled field problem through a numerical solution framework. The thin structure is discretized by enhanced three-node finite elements and coupled with boundary element based treatment of Stokes flow in a monolithic manner. The locomotion is triggered and driven by an external magnetic field that generates displacement dependent body couples over the magnetically sensitive parts of the flexible structure. A particular novelty of the paper is the use of internal hinges through which very large rotations and structural deformations can be combined in an efficient way. Using this concept; new, on the fly locomotion direction reversal mechanisms can be generated as demonstrated by the foldable bi-directional swimmer.

    Resistive Force Theory-Based Analysis of Magnetically Driven Slender Flexible Micro-Swimmers
    (Springer Verlag, 2017) Özdemir, İzzet
    Resistive force theory is concise and reliable approach to resolve flow-induced viscous forces on submerged bodies at low Reynolds number flows. In this paper, the theory is adapted for very thin shell-type structures, and a solution procedure within a nonlinear finite element framework is presented. Flow velocity proportional drag forces are treated as configuration-dependent external forces and embedded in a commercial finite element solver (ABAQUS) through user element subroutine. Furthermore, incorporation of magnetic forces induced by external fields on magnetic subdomains of such thin-walled structures is addressed using a similar perspective without resolving the magnetic field explicitly. The treatment of viscous drag forces and the magnetic body couples is done within the same user element formalism. The formulation and the implementation are verified and demonstrated by representative examples including the bidirectional swimming of thin strips with magnetic ends.

    A Stabilizing Subgrid for Convection-Diffusion Problem
    (World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2006) Neslitürk, Ali İhsan
    A stabilizing subgrid which consists of a single additional node in each triangular element is analyzed by solving the convection-diffusion problem, especially in the case of small diffusion. The choice of the location of the subgrid node is based on minimizing the residual of a local problem inside each element. We study convergence properties of the method under consideration and its connection with previously suggested stabilizing subgrids. We prove that the standard Galerkin finite element solution on augmented grid produces a discrete solution that satisfy the same a priori error estimates that are typically obtained with SUPG and RFB methods. Some numerical experiments that confirm the theoretical findings are also presented.

    Bubble-Based Stabilized Finite Element Methods for Time-Dependent Convection–diffusion–reaction Problems
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Şendur, Ali; Neslitürk, Ali İhsan
    In this paper, we propose a numerical algorithm for time-dependent convection–diffusion–reaction problems and compare its performance with the well-known numerical methods in the literature. Time discretization is performed by using fractional-step θ-scheme, while an economical form of the residual-free bubble method is used for the space discretization. We compare the proposed algorithm with the classical stabilized finite element methods over several benchmark problems for a wide range of problem configurations. The effect of the order in the sequence of discretization (in time and in space) to the quality of the approximation is also investigated. Numerical experiments show the improvement through the proposed algorithm over the classical methods in either cases.

    Finite Difference Approximations of Multidimensional Unsteady Convection-Diffusion Equations
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Kaya, Adem
    In this paper, the numerical approximation of unsteady convection-diffusion-reaction equations with finite difference method on a special grid is studied in the convection or reaction-dominated regime. We extend the method [19] which was designed for multidimensional steady convection-diffusion-reaction equations to unsteady problems. We investigate two possible different ways of combining the discretization in time and in space (where the sequence of the discretizations is interchanged). Discretization in time is performed by using Crank-Nicolson and Backward-Euler finite difference schemes, while for the space discretization we consider the method [19]. Numerical tests are presented to show good performance of the method.

    Finite Difference Approximations of Multidimensional Convection-Diffusion Problems With Small Diffusion on a Special Grid
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Kaya, Adem; Şendur, Ali
    A numerical scheme for the convection-diffusion-reaction (CDR) problems is studied herein. We propose a finite difference method on a special grid for solving CDR problems particularly designed to treat the most interesting case of small diffusion. We use the subgrid nodes in the Link-cutting bubble (LCB) strategy [5] to construct a numerical algorithm that can easily be extended to the higher dimensions. The method adapts very well to all regimes with continuous transitions from one regime to another. We also compare the performance of the present method with the Streamline-upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) and the Residual-Free Bubbles (RFB) methods on several benchmark problems. The numerical experiments confirm the good performance of the proposed method.
