    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.

    Numerical Approach To Design Process of Armored Vehicles
    (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2010) Erdik, Atıl; Kılıç, Namık; Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, Alper
    Today, it is imperative that armored vehicles need advanced protection kits against anti-symmetric threats more than before. The primary goal of this study was to assess benefits of explicit hydrocodes for mine protection resistance of armored vehicles. An analysis of an armored vehicle under blast loading caused by high explosive (HE) detonation is presented with comparison to a full-scale test. The problem was examined using LS-DYNA which is an explicit non-linear finite element code. Multi Material Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (MM-ALE) Fluid Structure Interaction Method was selected to model the explosion domain so as to observe advancing of the shock wave in the compressed air and to investigate the effects of blast on the vehicle structure after explosion. Johnson-Cook constitutive material model, Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) and Linear Polynomial equation of states were used for the problem. Results show that numerical analysis was in good agreement with the experimental result.

    Mechanical Properties of Hydroxyapatite Composites Reinforced With Hydroxyapatite Whiskers
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Şimşek, Deniz; Çiftçioğlu, Rukiye; Güden, Mustafa; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Harsa, Hayriye Şebnem
    Sintering and mechanical behavior of pure and hydroxyapatite (HA) whisker reinforced HA composites were investigated in this work. Pure and composite samples were prepared by using a commercial powder and whiskers prepared by molten salt synthesis. The dry-pressed samples were sintered in the 800 and 1300°C range. The effect of whisker-addition on the mechanical properties of HA was investigated through compression and hardness testing. Compressive strength and fracture strain were observed to increase by the addition of whiskers.

    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.

    Preparation and Microstuructural Development of Nanocrystalline Titania and Alumina
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Çağlar Duvarcı, Özlem; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Güden, Mustafa; Arıkut, G.
    The preparation of nanocrystalline titania and alumina was investigated by sol-gel methods using titanium isopropoxide, boehmite and aluminum isopropoxide. Various drying control chemical additives like oxalic acid, acetic acid and polyacrylic acid were used for modifying the drying behaviour and shrinkage of the gels. The sintered densities of the ceramics prepared by sol-gel processing and the dried gels were in the 79-99% of theoretical density for rutile. The green and sintered densities of the pellets prepared by uniaxial pressing of powders derived from sols, gels and precipitation techniques for titania were in the 40-52% and 55-83% respectively. The titania ceramics were observed to experience anatase-rutile phase transformation upon heat treatment at 650oC. The grain size of the sintered ceramics at 650oC was determined to be about 26 nm. Grain size of titania increased to 213 nm. at 850oC. The mechanical properties of these nanocrystalline ceramics were investigated by using microhardness testing.

    Metals Foams for Biomedical Applications: Processing and Mechanical Properties
    (Springer, 2004) Güden, Mustafa; Çelik, Emrah; Çetiner, Sinan; Aydın, Alptekin
    Optimized structures found in nature can be sometimes imitated in engineering structures. The recent interest in functionally graded metallic materials makes bone structures interesting because bones are naturally functionally graded1. The cellular structure of foam metals (Fig.1) is very similar to that of the cancellous bone; therefore, these metals can be considered as potential candidates for future implant applications if porosity level, size and shape, strength and biocompatibility aspects satisfy the design specifications of implants. Foam metals based on biocompatible metallic materials (e.g. Ti and Ti-6A1-4V) are expected to provide better interaction with bone. This is mainly due to higher degree of bone growth into porous surfaces and higher degree of body fluid transport through three-dimensional interconnected array of pores2 (open cell foam), leading to better interlocking between implant and bone and hence reducing or avoiding the well-known implant losening. Furthermore, the elastic modulus of foam metals can be easily tailored with porosity level to match that of natural bone, leading to a better performance by avoiding the high degree of elastic mismatch which currently exists between conventional solid metallic implants and bone.

    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.

    Improving the Energy Absorption of Closed Cell Aluminum Foams
    (Chapman & Hall, 2002) Greene, S. A.; Hall, Ian W.; Güden, Mustafa
    Closed cell aluminum foams have received much recent attention as energy absorbing materials on account of their ability to undergo extensive deformation at a relatively low stress called the plateau stress. Several studies describe the improvements in energy absorption to be obtained, relative to their empty counterparts, when foam filled tubes are crushed either quasi-statically or dynamically [1–4]. Al foams are also of possible interest for ballistic applications because they present a very large acoustic impedance mismatch with common armor materials, offering the possibility of being able to modify theway in which elasticwaves travel through multi-component armor.

    Experimental and Numerical Investigation of High Strain Rate Mechanical Behavior of a [0/45 - 45] Quadriaxial E-glass/Polyester Composite
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Taşdemirci, Alper; Kara, Ali; Turan, Ali Kıvanç; Tunusoğlu, Gözde; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    Quasi-static (10−3–10−1 s−1) and high strain rate (∼900 s−1) compression behavior of an E-Glass fiber woven fabric reinforced Polyester matrix composites was investigated by using a Shimadzu AG-I testing machine and a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus in the Dynamic Testing and Modeling Laboratory of Izmir Institute of Technology. During the experiments, a high speed camera was used to determine deformation behavior. 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. Based upon these experimental data, a numerical model was developed using the commercial explicit finite element code LS-DYNA to investigate compressive deformation and damage behavior of composites. Excellent agreement was demonstrated for the case of high strain rate loading. Also, the fracture geometries were successfully predicted with the numerical model.
