Article A Comprehensive Database and a New Model for the Axial Response of Heat-Damaged Concrete Before and After FRP Confinement(Springer, 2025) Akdag, Nefise; Demir, UgurIn this study, a total of 330 concrete specimens, compiled from existing experimental data, are systematically reviewed to assess their post-fire axial stress-strain behavior before and after circumferential confinement with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). The selection criteria for the database are as follows: (i) studies had to be published in English, (ii) both lateral and axial ultimate strains must have been measured, (iii) the use of additional strengthening materials in combination with FRPs was excluded, (iv) only plain concrete specimens were considered, and (v) specimen dimensions and instrumentation details had to be explicitly reported. The dataset is structured to include heating/cooling and curing conditions, specimen properties, and FRP characteristics. Subsequently, the predictive accuracy of available models for post-fire axial strength and ultimate strain of concrete members, both before and after FRP confinement, is evaluated. The results based on the reviewed comprehensive database indicate that these models are inadequate in capturing the observed behavior in the experiments. As such, a new analytical model is developed based on the compiled dataset. The proposed model demonstrated reliable predictive performance in terms of post-fire axial response of concrete before and after FRP confinement while remaining user-friendly for practical engineering applications. This is done such that universal design guidelines on the behavior of heat-damaged concrete strengthened by FRP composites can be reliably formulated.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Analysis and Comparison of the Projectile Impact Response of an Electron Beam Melt-Ti64 Body Centered Cubic Lattice-Cored Sandwich Plate(Springer, 2025) Erten, H.İ.; Çimen, G.; Yıldıztekin, F.M.; Güden, M.Background: One potential application of additively fabricated lattice structures is in the blade containment rings of gas turbine engines. The blade containment rings are expected to be able to absorb the kinetic energy of a released blade (broken blade) in order to protect the engine parts from damaging. Metallic lattice-cored sandwich plates provide a gap (free space) between two face sheets, which helps to arrest the released blade and increases the energy absorption capability of containment rings. Objective: The objective was to investigate numerically the projectile impact response of Body-Centered-Cubic (BCC) Electron-Beam-Melt (EBM) lattice-cored/Ti64 face sheet sandwich plates as compared with that of an equal-mass monolithic EBM-Ti64 plate. Methods: The projectile impact simulations were implemented in LS-DYNA using the previously determined flow stress and damage models and a spherical steel impactor at the velocities ranging from 150 to 500 m s−1. The experimental projectile impact tests on the monolithic plate were performed at two different impact velocities and the results were used to confirm the validity of the used flow stress and damage models for the monolithic plate models. Results: Lower impact stresses were found numerically in the sandwich plate as compared with the monolithic plate at the same impact velocity. The bending and multi-cracking of the struts over a wide area in the sandwich plate increased the energy absorption and resulted in the arrest of the projectile at relatively high velocities. While monolithic plate exhibited a local bent area, resulting in the development of high tensile stresses and the projectile perforations at lower velocities. Conclusions: The numerical impact stresses in the sandwich plate were distributed over a wider area around the projectile, leading to the fracture and bending of many individual struts which significantly increased the resistance to the perforation. Hence, the investigated lattice cell topology and cell, strut, and face sheet sizes and the lattice-cored sandwich plate was shown potentially more successful in stopping the projectiles than the equal-mass monolithic plates. © The Author(s) 2025.Article A Quantitative Description of Barite Thermodynamics, Nucleation and Growth for Reactive Transport Modelling(Elsevier, 2024) Dideriksen,K.; Zhen-Wu,B.Y.; Dobberschütz,S.; Rodríguez-Blanco,J.D.; Raahauge,P.J.; Ataman, Evren; Stipp,S.L.S.The regression of available thermodynamic data in the BaSO4–NaCl–H2O system yielded Pitzer ion interaction parameters that accurately describe the activities of aqueous species and mineral solubilities in this system. This thermodynamics description is compared with published Pitzer parameter sets, and combined with a model for the kinetics of barite nucleation and growth, based on classical nucleation theory. Both the thermodynamic and nucleation/growth models have been incorporated into the PHREEQC computer code to facilitate calculation of the extent and consequences of barite formation in natural and engineered systems. Results of geochemical modelling calculations agree adequately with the amount of barite scale thicknesses derived from calliper measurements from an oil well if the effective surface free energy of barite nuclei is assumed to be ∼50 mJ m−2. Better results, however, are achieved using a temperature dependent effective surface free energy. In contrast, calculations performed by ignoring the effects of barite nucleation lead to a substantial overestimation of the amount of scale formed in our modelled systems. The success of our mineral nucleation and growth model to describe scaling in our modelled system suggests this description of precipitation rates can be applied to many other mineral-aqueous fluid systems, in particular where supersaturation is slight and the solids forming have substantial surface free energy. © 2024 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Impact Loading and Modelling a Multilayer Aluminium Corrugated/Fin Core: the Effect of the Insertion of Imperfect Fin Layers(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019) Sarıkaya, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, MustafaThe quasi-static compression (0.0048 m/s) and Taylor-like impact (135, 150, and 200 m/s) loading of a multilayer 1050 H14 aluminium corrugated core were investigated both experimentally and numerically in LS-DYNA using the perfect and imperfect sample models. In the imperfect sample models, one or two layers of corrugated fin structure were replaced by the fin layers made of bent-type cell walls. The localised deformation in the quasi-static imperfect models of cylindrical sample started at the imperfect layers, the same as the tests, and the layers were compressed until about the densification strain in a step-wise fashion. The localised deformation in the perfect models, however, started at the layers at and near the top and bottom of the test sample. In the shock mode, the sample crushed sequentially starting at the impact end layer regardless the perfect or imperfect sample models were used. Furthermore, the perfect and imperfect models resulted in nearly the same initial crushing stresses in the shock mode. The layer strain histories revealed a velocity-dependent layer densification strain. Both model types, the imperfect and perfect, well approximated the stress-time histories and layer deformations of the shock mode. The rigid perfectly plastic locking model based on the numerically determined densification strains also showed well agreements with the experimental and numerical plateau stresses of the shock mode.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4The Effect of Cell Wall Material Strain and Strain-Rate Hardening Behaviour on the Dynamic Crush Response of an Aluminium Multi-Layered Corrugated Core(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021) Güden, Mustafa; Canbaz, İlkerThe effect of the parameters of the Johnson and Cook material model on the direct impact crushing behaviour of a layered 1050 H14 aluminium corrugated structure was investigated numerically in LS-DYNA at quasi-static (0.0048 m s(-1)) and dynamic (20, 60, 150 and 250 m s(-1)) velocities. Numerical and experimental direct impact tests were performed by lunching a striker bar onto corrugated samples attached to the end of the incident bar of a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar set-up. The numerical impact-end stress-time and velocity-time curves were further compared with those of rigid-perfectly-plastic-locking (r-p-p-l) model. Numerical and r-p-p-l model impact-end stress analysis revealed a shock mode at 150 and 250 m s(-1), transition mode at 60 m s(-1) and quasi-static homogenous mode at 20 m s(-1). The increase of velocity from quasi-static to 20 m s(-1) increased the numerical distal-end initial peak-stress, while it almost stayed constant between 20 and 250 m s(-1) for all material models. The increased distal-end initial peak-stress of strain rate insensitive models from quasi-static to 20 m s(-1) confirmed the effect of micro-inertia. The numerical models further indicated a negligible effect of used material models on the impact-end stress of investigated structure. Finally, the contribution of strain rate to the distal-end initial peak-stress of cellular structures made of low strain rate sensitive Al alloys was shown to be relatively low as compared with that of strain hardening and micro-inertia, but it might be substantial for the structures constructed using relatively high strain rate sensitive alloys.
