    Numerical and Experimental Studies of High Strain Rate Mechanical Behavior of E-glass/Polyester Composite Laminates
    (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2010) Tunusoğlu, Gözde; Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    Quasi-static ∼10-3 s-1) and high strain rate (∼850 s-1) compression behavior of an E-glass/polyester composite was determined in the through-thickness and in-plane directions. In both directions, modulus and failure strength increased with increasing strain rate. Higher strain rate sensitivity for both elastic modulus and failure strength was observed in the in-plane direction. A numerical model was developed to investigate the compressive deformation and fracture of an E-glass/polyester composite. Excellent agreement was demonstrated for the case of high strain rate loading. Also, the fracture geometries were successfully predicted with the numerical model.

    The Effect of Strain Rate on the Compressive Deformation Behavior of a Sintered Ti6al4v Powder Compact
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Taşdemirci, Alper; Hızal, Alpay; Altındiş, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.; Güden, Mustafa
    The high strain rate (220–550 s−1) and quasi-static (0.0016 s−1) compression deformation behavior of a sintered Ti6Al4V powder compact was investigated. The compact was prepared using atomized spherical particles (100–200 μm) and contained 38 ± 1% porosity. The deformation sequences of the tested samples were further recorded by high speed camera and analyzed as a function of strain. The failure of the compact, which was found to be similar in the studied high strain rate and quasi-static strain rate testing regimes, occurs through particle decohesion along the surface of the two cones in a ductile (dimpled) mode consisting of void initiation and growth and by void coalescence in the interparticle bond region. The effect of strain rate was to increase the flow stress and compressive strength of the compact while the critical strain corresponding to the maximum stress was shown to be strain rate independent.

    Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Compression Testing of an Aluminum Alloy: Effect of Lubricant Type
    (Chapman & Hall, 2003) Hall, Ian W.; Güden, Mustafa
    The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB), or Kolsky Bar, is widely used for studying the dynamic mechanical properties of metals and other materials. A cylindrical specimen is sandwiched between the incident and transmitter bars, Fig. 1, and a constant amplitude elastic wave is generated by the striker bar. Strain gages mounted on the incident and transmitter bars allow the compressive stress-strain response of the specimen to be established using uniaxial elastic wave theory [1]. A more detailed overview of SHPB testing is found in [2]. Lubricant is usually applied to the interfaces because the presence of any frictional effect on the specimen surfaces forms a multiaxial stress-state and invalidates one of the most important assumptions of the SHPB analysis, namely, a uniaxial stress state. This paper quantifies the effect for an aluminum alloy.

    Sic-Particulate Aluminum Composite Foams Produced by Powder Compacts: Foaming and Compression Behavior
    (Springer Verlag, 2003) Elbir, Semih; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    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.

    Quasi-Static and Dynamic Crushing of Empty and Foam-Filled Tubes
    (Springer Verlag, 2001) Hall, Ian W.; Ebil, Özgenç; Güden, Mustafa; Yu, C.-J.
    Metallic foam-filled tubes and their empty counterparts have been tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates in order to determine their energy absorption capabilities. Data from the Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar have been used to generate force vs. displacement curves that are somewhat analogous to pseudo-engineering stress-strain curves. Force balance calculations have also been made. These results indicate that, on an equal weight basis, foam-filled tubes offer greater energy absorption capability than empty tubes at quasi-static strain rates. However, the benefit of foam filling does not appear to be extended to strain rates of the order of 200–500 s−1. Force balance calculations are shown to have potential as a method for monitoring the crushing of metallic foams at high strain rate.

    Quasi-Static and Dynamic Compression Behaviour of an Fptm Alumina-Reinforced Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite
    (Springer Verlag, 1998) Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    An aluminium metal matrix composite reinforced with continuous unidirectional α-alumina fibres has been compression tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates. In the transverse direction, the composite showed increasing flow stress (at 5% strain) and maximum stress within the studied strain rates, 10−3−3 × 103 s−1. In the longitudinal direction, the maximum stress of the composite increased similarly with increasing strain rates within the range 10−5−7 × 102 s−1. It is shown that, if brooming of the sample ends can be suppressed, the failure stress of the composite in longitudinal compression increases significantly. Metallographic observations reveal the typical modes of damage initiation in the composite.

    Transverse and Longitudinal Crushing of Aluminum-Foam Filled Tubes
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2002) Hall, Ian W.; Güden, Mustafa; Claar, Terry Dennis
    Al-foam filled and empty tubes of aluminum, brass and titanium were compression tested laterally. The specific energy absorption in filled tubes increased greatly in terms of percentages, and was greatest in aluminum tubes. In transversely tested tubes the foam deformed laterally showing a capability of spreading the deformation.

    High Strain-Rate Compression Testing of a Short-Fiber Reinforced Aluminum Composite
    (Elsevier Ltd., 1997) Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    Compression behavior of 15–26 Vf% Saffil™ short-fiber reinforced Al-1.17wt.%Cu alloy metal matrix composites has been determined over a strain-rate range of approximately 10−4 to 2×103 s−1. The strain-rate sensitivity of composite samples at 4% strain, tested parallel and normal to the plane of reinforcement, was found to be higher than that of unreinforced alloy in the strain-rate range studied. Quantitative analysis of fiber fragment lengths from samples tested to different strain levels showed that, at small strains, high strain-rate testing induced a relatively shorter fiber fragment length distribution in the composite compared to quasi-static testing. At quasi-static strain rates, the fiber strengthening effect was found to increase with increasing Vf% and was higher in samples tested parallel to the planar random array. The observed anisotropy of the composite at quasi-static strain rates was also observed to continue into the high strain-rate regime. Microscopic observations on composite samples tested quasi-statically and dynamically to a range of strains showed that the major damage process involved during compression testing was fiber breakage followed by the microcracking of the matrix at relatively large strains. Fiber breakage modes were found to be mostly shearing and buckling.

    High Strain Rate Testing of a Unidirectionally Reinforced Graphite Epoxy Composite
    (Chapman & Hall, 2001) Hall, Ian W.; Güden, Mustafa
    Since accurate, reproducible methods of testing polymer composites are not very well developed or standardized, this research forms part of a program to gain a better understanding of the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of polymer composites at high strain rates. Since failure modes differ markedly depending on fiber architecture, orientation, fiber/matrix combination and so forth, these initial tests were carried out using a simple unidirectionally reinforced composite. Beginning with testing in the longitudinal and transverse directions, reported here, future experiments are being carried out to determine how the high strain rate properties vary with angle of testing, and then move on to other simple fiber lay-ups, ±90◦, ±45◦, etc.

    High Strain Rate Properties of an Sicw/2124-t6 Aluminum Composite at Elevated Temperatures
    (Elsevier Ltd., 1998) Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    Metal matrix composites, (MMC’s) provide several important advantages over unreinforced metals and alloys. Among these, higher moduli and yield stresses and enhanced thermo-mechanical properties are normally considered important in structural applications of MMC’s. It is also possible that MMC’s may be exposed to loading conditions involving high strain rates during service, for example, components of a car in collision with another or turbine blades hit by ingestion of foreign objects. In such situations of rapidly increasing loading conditions, the material property response may be considerably different from that which applies during slow loading of normal quasi-static testing and, consequently, dynamic mechanical properties are of increasing interest and importance.
