    Fatigue-Resistant Design of Carbon/Epoxy Composites Based on a Failure Tensor Polynomial Model by Particle Swarm Optimization-Sequential Quadratic Programming Algorithm
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2024) Deveci, Hamza Arda; Artem, Hatice Secil; Guenes, Mehmet Deniz; Tanoglu, Metin
    This article introduces a design procedure to find the optimum fiber orientations of carbon/epoxy composite laminates for fatigue life advancement. The approach incorporates a fatigue failure tensor polynomial model and employs a hybrid algorithm, combining particle swarm optimization and sequential quadratic programming. Firstly, material properties of quasi-static and fatigue of the carbon/epoxy composites, fabricated by the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding method, were determined to be used in the model. Various design problems involving two optimization scenarios were then solved using the hybrid algorithm. The algorithm's performance was also evaluated by specific test problems, confirming its speed and robustness. The optimally fiber-oriented carbon/epoxy composite laminates having maximum fatigue lives were obtained for many critical in-plane cyclic loading cases. To validate the proposed design procedure, two optimum designs were experimentally verified under uniaxial loading conditions. The results indicated a good correlation between the estimated fatigue life of the optimally designed laminates and experimental data. This methodology offers a promising approach for the design of carbon/epoxy composite laminates with superior fatigue strength, particularly significant in specific industrial applications.

    Laser Surface Treatment Optimization of 1.2379 (Aisi D2) Tool Steel
    (Springernature, 2025) Ozbey, Sayit; Artem, Hatice Secil
    Industrial applications require materials with specific surface quality and hardness properties. Laser surface treatment stands out as a cost-effective and effective method that improves surface performance by changing the structural and physical properties of the material. 1.2379 cold work tool steel is a commonly used material in die and mold industries for injection mold inserts; therefore, the surface properties of the material play a significant role. In this study, it is aimed to optimize laser parameters; the laser power, pulse duration, repetition rate and line spacing for the responses such as hardness and surface roughness. For this purpose, 1.2379 cold work tool surfaces were treated using a commercially available industrial ytterbium low-power pulsed fiber laser experimentally. Experiments were conducted based on 34 full factorials. Vickers hardness and micro-roughness measurements were performed on the laser-treated surfaces. Regression models were developed using experimental data and the appropriate models were selected for each response. The response variables were then optimized based on stochastic optimization methods: Nelder-Mead, Differential Evolution, Random Search and Simulated Annealing. The results indicate that a maximum hardness of 495 HV0.5 and a minimum surface roughness of 0.277 mu m were achieved, corresponding to a 61% increase and a 43% decrease, respectively, compared to the base metal.
