Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9The Increased Compression Strength of an Epoxy Resin With the Addition of Heat-Treated Natural Nano-Structured Diatom Frustules(SAGE Publications Inc., 2017) Zeren, Doğuş; Güden, MustafaNatural diatom frustules composing nanometer size silica particles were heat-treated at temperatures between 600 and 1200℃ for 2 h and used as filler/reinforcing agent (15 wt%) in an epoxy resin. The opal structure of as-received natural diatom frustules was transformed into cristobalite after the heat-treatment above 900℃. The epoxy resin test samples reinforced with heat-treated and as-received frustules and neat epoxy test samples were compression tested at the quasi-static strain rate of 7 × 10−3 s−1. The results showed that the inclusion of the frustules heat-treated at 1000℃ increased the compressive yield strength of the resin by 50%, while the addition of the diatom frustules heat-treated above and below 1000℃ and the as-received frustules increased the strength by ∼25% and 16%, respectively. The heat treatment above 1000℃ decreased the surface area of the frustules from 8.23 m2 g−1 to 3.46 m2 g−1. The cristobalite grains of the frustules heat-treated at 1000℃ was smaller than 100 nm, while the grain size increased to ∼500 nm at 1200℃. The increased compressive stresses of the resin at the specific heat treatment temperature (1000℃) were ascribed to nano size crystalline cristobalite grains. The relatively lower compressive stresses of the epoxy resin filled with frustules heat-treated above 1000℃ were attributed to the micro-cracking of the frustules that might be resulted from higher density of the cristobalite than that of the opal and accompanying reduction of the surface area and the surface pore sizes that might impair the resin-frustule interlocking and intrusion.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 30Single- and Double-Layer Aluminum Corrugated Core Sandwiches Under Quasi-Static and Dynamic Loadings(SAGE Publications Inc., 2016) Kılıçaslan, Cenk; Odacı, İsmet Kutlay; Güden, MustafaThe crushing of single- and double-layer zig-zag trapezoidal corrugated core sandwiches was investigated experimentally and numerically at quasi-static and dynamic rates. The buckling stress of sandwiches increased when the rate increased from quasi-static to dynamic. The increased buckling stresses were ascribed to the micro-inertial effects, which altered the buckling mode of the core from three plastic hinges to higher number of plastic hinge formations. The initial buckling stress was numerically shown to be imperfection sensitive when the imperfection size was comparable with the buckling length. The numerical buckling stresses of zig-zag and straight corrugated cores were similar, while higher inertial effects were found in triangular corrugated core.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 28Stress Wave Propagation Effects in Two- and Three-Layered Composite Materials(SAGE Publications Inc., 2004) Taşdemirci, Alper; Hall, Ian W.; Gama, Bazle A.; Güden, MustafaMultilayer materials consisting of ceramic and glass/epoxy composites have been subjected to high strain rate compression testing using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The samples were extensively strain gaged so that dynamic data were generated directly from the samples during testing. Output data from the experiments were compared with numerical simulations of the same experiments and good agreement was noted. It was found that the stress distribution within samples was quite inhomogeneous and that stresses were highest in the region of the bar–sample interface. The presence of a rubber interlayer between the ceramic and glass/epoxy decreased the stress in both components but dramatically increased the degree of stress inhomogeneity.
