Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12High Strain-Rate Deformation Analysis of Open-Cell Aluminium Foam(Elsevier, 2023) Mauko, Anja; Duarte, Isabel; Borovinšek, Matej; Vesenjak, Matej; Ren, Zoran; Sarıkaya, Mustafa; Güden, MustafaThis study investigated the high-strain rate mechanical properties of open-cell aluminium foam M-pore®. While previous research has examined the response of this type of foam under quasi-static and transitional dynamic loading conditions, there is a lack of knowledge about its behaviour under higher strain rates (transitional and shock loading regimes). To address this gap in understanding, cylindrical open-cell foam specimens were tested using a modified Direct Impact Hopkinson Bar (DIHB) apparatus over a wide range of strain rates, up to 93 m/s. The results showed a strong dependency of the foam's behaviour on the loading rate, with increased plateau stress and changes in deformation front formation and propagation at higher strain rates. The internal structure of the specimens was examined using X-ray micro-computed tomography (mCT). The mCT images were used to build simplified 3D numerical models of analysed aluminium foam specimens that were used in computational simulations of their behaviour under all experimentally tested loading regimes using LS-DYNA software. The overall agreement between the experimental and computational results was good enough to validate the built numerical models capable of correctly simulating the mechanical response of analysed aluminium foam at different loading rates. © 2023 The AuthorsArticle Transdiscal Screw Fixation in L5-S1 Spondylolysis: a Biomechanical Study Transdiscal Screw Fixation in L5-51 Spondylolysis(Bayrakol Medical Publishing, 2021) Aydın, Murat; Bulut, Tuğrul; Güden, Mustafa; Erel, NuriAim: This study aimed to investigate whether the L5-S1 transdiscal screw fixation is biomechanically sufficient against axial loads and the resulting shear forces. Material and Methods: Eighteen fresh calf spines under 1 year of age were used in this study. Two randomly selected spines were used as test materials. The inferior facet and ligamentum flavum were removed in 7 randomly selected spines. In these spines (transdiscal screw group), two transdiscal screws were placed bilaterally between 15 and S1. Tests were performed on the remaining 9 spines, while the spines were initially intact (intact group) and after creating a listhesis model (injury group). The extent of displacement occurring as a result of axial loading was noted in all groups in order to calculate the load-displacement curves. Results: The mean displacement as a result of successive axial loadings of 5000 N was as follows: 3 mm (range: 2.4 - 4 mm) in the intact group, 3.5 mm (range: 3 - 4.5 mm) in the transdiscal screw group and 4.5 mm (range: 3.9 - 5 mm) In the group with injury. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). None of the samples exhibited broken screws, screw deformation or dislocation, even in failure tests, in the transdiscal screw group. Discussion: These findings have shown that transdiscal screw fixation can be biomechanically sufficient against the shear forces occurring as a result of axial loading. We believe that this technique can be a good alternative as a fixation method for the L5-S1 spondylolisthesis.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Oluklu alüminyum sandviç panellerde kor yüksekliğinin enerji sönümleme kapasitesine olan etkisi(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2020) Kılıçaslan, Cenk; Güden, MustafaIn this study, energy absorbing capacity of brazed and polyurethane adhesively bonded corrugated aluminum sandwich panels were investigated. In sandwich panels, Al 1050 H14 trapezoidal zig-zag corrugated cores and face and interlayer sheets were used. Each sandwich panel has core orientation of 0 degrees/0 degrees or 0 degrees/90 degrees. The cores used in these panels were smaller, core height is about 3 mm, in contrast to conventional sandwich cores. Impact tests were conducted at 3 and 6 m/s with spherical projectors. Adhesively bonded sandwich panels were also tested at 6 m/s with flat and conical projectors. Numerical models were prepared in LSDYNA to investigated the deformation behavior of cores. Panels tested with flat and conical projectors experienced complete perforation and absorbed more energy at configuration of 0 degrees/0 degrees core orientation. However, panels tested with spherical projectors were not perforated and they absorbed more energy at configuration of 0 degrees/90 degrees core orientation. Energy absorbing capacity of the panels were also compared to the panels having 9 mm height corrugated cores. The results showed that effective collapsing length was seen to increase due to increase in core height and impact energy distributed the whole panel surface more homogenous manner.Article 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: 6Citation - Scopus: 6The Expansion Behavior of Slurries Containing Recycled Glass Powder Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Lime and Aluminum Powder(Elsevier, 2020) Zeren, Doğuş; Şentürk, Ufuk; Güden, MustafaThe rheology and foaming/expansion of the slurries of a waste/recycled glass powder with 50, 55 and 60 wt% of solid (glass powder) were experimentally investigated. The glass powder slurries were foamed using aluminum powder as foaming agent (0.75 wt%) and calcium hydroxide as activator (1 wt%). Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was added to the slurries as a binder with the amounts between 0 and 4 wt%. The expansions of the slurries were measured in-situ using a laser sensor and reported as percent volume expansion. The CMC-addition increased the viscosities of the slurries, particularly the fine size powder slurries. The slurries with the relatively low-viscosity exhibited lower initial expansion rates compared to the slurries with the relatively high-viscosity. The maximum expansions of the slurries increased from 300 to 350%, when the viscosity increased to 5 Pa s and reached a steady value around 400% between 5 and 50 Pa s. The expansions of the slurries could not be achieved above 50 Pa s since they became too thick to be foamed. The foam samples made from the slurries with 55 and 60 wt% of solid and sintered at 700 and 750 degrees C for 30 min had the average densities between 355 and 530 kg m(-3) and the average compressive strengths between 0.2 and 0.5 MPa. Increasing sintering time to 60 min at 750 degrees C increased the average compressive strength from 0.5 to 1.5 MPa for the foam samples made from the slurry with 60 wt% of solid. These proved that both sintering temperature and time were effective in increasing the compressive strengths of the foamed structures. The thermal conductivities of the sintered foam samples with the densities of 355 and 504 kg m(-3) were measured 0.042 and 0.057 W m(-1) K-1, respectively. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

The dynamic compression and direct impact tests were performed in a compression type and a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar set-up, respectively. The investigated fully imperfect model of the corrugated core sample represented the homogenous distribution of imperfection, while the two-layer imperfect model the localized imperfection. The corrugated core experimentally deformed by a quasi-static homogenous mode between 0.0048 and 22 m s−1, a transition mode between 22 and 60 m s−1 and a shock mode at 90 m s−1. Numerical results have shown that the stress-time profile and the layer crushing mode of the homogeneous and transition mode were well predicted by the two-layer imperfect model, while the stress-time profile and the layer crushing mode were well approximated by the fully imperfect model. The fully imperfect model resulted in complete sequential layer crushing at 75 and 90 m s−1, respectively. The imperfect layers in the shock mode only affected the distal end stresses, while all models implemented resulted in similar impact end stresses. The distal end initial crushing stress increased with increasing velocity until about 22 m s−1; thereafter, it saturated at ~2 MPa, which was ascribed to the micro inertial effect. Both the stress-time and velocity-time history of the rigid-perfectly-plastic-locking model and the critical velocity for the shock deformation were well predicted when a dynamic plateau stress determined from the distal end stresses in the shock mode was used in the calculations.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 28Crushing Behavior and Energy Absorption Performance of a Bio-Inspired Metallic Structure: Experimental and Numerical Study(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Taşdemirci, Alper; Akbulut, Emine Fulya; Güzel, Erkan; Tüzgel, Fırat; Yücesoy, Atacan; Şahin, Selim; Güden, MustafaA thin-walled structure inspired from a biologic creature known as balanus was investigated experimentally and numerically under quasi-static and dynamic loads for load-carrying and energy absorption properties. The structure was composed of an inner conical core with a hemispherical cap and an outer shell in frusto-conical shape and formed by deep drawing. The applied deep drawing process was modelled using nonlinear finite element code LS-DYNA to determine the residual stress/strain and the non-linear thickness distribution after the forming process. It was also shown that the load carried by the balanus structure was greater than the arithmetic sum of the load carried by the inner core and by the outer shell separately. Although the mean force increase due to interaction effect at quasi-static strain rate was approximately 5%, while it increased to roughly 26% at dynamic strain rates in drop weight experiments. The numerical models also showed that the outer shell absorbed more energy than the inner core while the difference between the energy absorbing performance of the core and shell decreased with increasing deformation rate. The effect of strain rate and inertia on the increase in crush load increased with increasing impact velocity, while the strain rate effect had greater influence than the inertia on the crush load. The increased load carrying capacity of the balanus at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates was ascribed to the interaction between the core and shell and the confinement effect of the outer shell particularly at dynamic strain rate.Article Citation - WoS: 1Sol-Derived Hydroxyapatite Ddip-Coating of a Porous Ti6al4v Powder Compact(Al-Farabi Kazakh State National University, 2009) Altındiş, Mustafa; Güden, Mustafa; Ni, ChaoyingA sintered porous Ti6Al4V powder compact with a mean pore size of 63 µm and an average porosity of 37±1% was dip-coated at soaking times varying between 1- and 5-minute using a sol-derived calcium Hydrooxyapatite (HA) powder. The coated compacts were heat-treated at 840 °C. The coating thickness was found to increase with increasing soaking time, from 1.87 µm at 1-minute soaking to 9 µm at 5-minute soaking on the average. It was shown that at increasing soaking times, the originally open pores started to close, while at low soaking times the Ti6Al4V particles were partially coated. The coating layer was shown to be nano porous and the depth of coating was observed to be relatively shallow: only few particles near the compact surface were HA-coated.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Staphylococcus Epidermidis Adhesion on Surface-Treated Open-Cell Ti6al4v Foams(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016) Türkan, Uğur; Güden, Mustafa; Sudağıdan, MertThe effect of alkali and nitric acid surface treatments on the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis to the surface of 60% porous open-cell Ti6Al4V foam was investigated. The resultant surface roughness of foam particles was determined from the ground flat surfaces of thin foam specimens. Alkali treatment formed a porous, rough Na2Ti5O11 surface layer on Ti6Al4V particles, while nitric acid treatment increased the number of undulations on foam flat and particle surfaces, leading to the development of finer surface topographical features. Both surface treatments increased the nanometric-scale surface roughness of particles and the number of bacteria adhering to the surface, while the adhesion was found to be significantly higher in alkali-treated foam sample. The significant increase in the number of bacterial attachment on the alkali-treated sample was attributed to the formation of a highly porous and nanorough Na2Ti5O11 surface layer.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Numerical 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.
