    A Review of Heat and Fluid Flow Characteristics in Microchannel Heat Sinks
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020) Coşkun, Turgay; Çetkin, Erdal
    Heat transfer and flow characteristic in microchannel heat sinks (MCHS) are extensively studied in the literature due to high heat transfer rate capability by increased heat transfer surface area relative to the macroscale heat sinks. However, heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in MCHS differ from conventional ones because of the scaling effects. This review summarizes the studies that are mainly based on heat transfer and fluid flow characteristic in MCHS. There is no consistency among the published results; however, everyone agrees on that there is no new physical phenomenon in microscale that does not exist at macroscale. Only difference between them is that the effect of some physical phenomena such as viscous dissipation, axial heat conduction, entrance effect, rarefaction, and so forth, is negligibly small at macroscale, whereas it is not at microscale. The effect of these physical phenomena on the heat transfer and flow characteristics becomes significant with respect to specified conditions such as Reynolds number, Peclet number, hydraulic diameter, and heat transfer boundary conditions. Here, the literature was reviewed to document when these physical phenomena become significant and insignificant.

    Impact 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, Mustafa
    The 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.

    Modification of Commercial Boron Carbide Powder Using Rapid Carbothermal Reduction
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019) Toksoy, Muhammet Fatih; Haber, Richard A.
    Non-uniform morphology and existence of free carbon are two main problems for commercial boron carbide powders. This work proposes a method for eliminating free carbon and changing the morphology of commercial powders using Rapid Carbothermal Reduction (RCR) process. Free carbon is eliminated from commercial boron carbide powders and morphology is evolved to less angular shapes with limited particle size growth. Commercial and modified powders were densified by Spark Plasma Sintering at 1900 degrees C with 0, 5, and 20 minutes dwell. Despite the particle size growth, modified boron carbide powders reached >99% TD with shorter dwell times compared with commercial starting powders. Improved microhardness observed with dense modified samples as a result of enhanced morphology and increased twinning.

    Enhancement of Interlaminar Fracture Toughness of Carbon Fiber–epoxy Composites Using Polyamide-6,6 Electrospun Nanofibers
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Beylergil, Bertan; Tanoğlu, Metin; Aktaş, Engin
    In this study, carbon fiber–epoxy composites are interleaved with electrospun polyamide-6,6 (PA 66) nanofibers to improve their Mode-I fracture toughness. These nanofibers are directly deposited onto carbon fabrics before composite manufacturing via vacuum infusion. Three-point bending, tensile, compression, interlaminar shear strength, Charpy impact, and double cantilever beam tests are performed on the reference and PA 66 interleaved specimens to evaluate the effects of PA 66 nanofibers on the mechanical properties of composites. To investigate the effect of nanofiber areal weight density (AWD), nanointerlayers with various AWD are prepared by changing the electrospinning duration. It is found that the electrospun PA 66 nanofibers are very effective in improving Mode-I toughness and impact resistance, compressive strength, flexural modulus, and strength of the composites. However, these nanofibers cause a decrease in the tensile strength of the composites. The glass-transition temperature of the composites is not affected by the addition of PA 66 nanofibers. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017, 134, 45244.

    Densification and Characterization of Rapid Carbothermal Synthesized Boron Carbide
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Toksoy, Muhammet Fatih; Rafaniello, William; Xie, Kelvin Yu; Ma, Luoning; Hemker, Kevin Jude; Haber, Richard Alan
    Submicrometer boron carbide powders were synthesized using rapid carbothermal reduction (RCR) method. Synthesized boron carbide powders had smaller particle size, lower free carbon, and high density of twins compared to commercial samples. Powders were sintered using spark plasma sintering at different temperatures and dwell times to compare sintering behavior. Synthesized boron carbide powders reached >99% TD at lower temperature and shorter dwell times compared to commercial powders. Improved microhardness observed in the densified RCR samples was likely caused by the combination of higher purity, better stoichiometry control, finer grain size, and a higher density of twin boundaries.

    Viewpoints: Feeding Mechanics, Diet, and Dietary Adaptations in Early Hominins
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2013) Daegling, David J.; Judex, Stefan; Özçivici, Engin; Ravosa, Matthew J.; Taylor, Andrea B.; Grine, Frederick E.; Teaford, Mark F.; Ungar, Peter S.
    Inference of feeding adaptation in extinct species is challenging, and reconstructions of the paleobiology of our ancestors have utilized an array of analytical approaches. Comparative anatomy and finite element analysis assist in bracketing the range of capabilities in taxa, while microwear and isotopic analyses give glimpses of individual behavior in the past. These myriad approaches have limitations, but each contributes incrementally toward the recognition of adaptation in the hominin fossil record. Microwear and stable isotope analysis together suggest that australopiths are not united by a single, increasingly specialized dietary adaptation. Their traditional (i.e., morphological) characterization as "nutcrackers" may only apply to a single taxon, Paranthropus robustus. These inferences can be rejected if interpretation of microwear and isotopic data can be shown to be misguided or altogether erroneous. Alternatively, if these sources of inference are valid, it merely indicates that there are phylogenetic and developmental constraints on morphology. Inherently, finite element analysis is limited in its ability to identify adaptation in paleobiological contexts. Its application to the hominin fossil record to date demonstrates only that under similar loading conditions, the form of the stress field in the australopith facial skeleton differs from that in living primates. This observation, by itself, does not reveal feeding adaptation. Ontogenetic studies indicate that functional and evolutionary adaptation need not be conceptually isolated phenomena. Such a perspective helps to inject consideration of mechanobiological principles of bone formation into paleontological inferences. Finite element analysis must employ such principles to become an effective research tool in this context. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Genetic Loci That Control the Loss and Regain of Trabecular Bone During Unloading and Reambulation
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2013) Judex, Stefan; Zhang, Weidong; Donahue, Leah Rae; Özçivici, Engin
    Changes in trabecular morphology during unloading and reloading are marked by large variations between individuals, implying that there is a strong genetic influence on the magnitude of the response. Here, we subjected more than 350 second-generation (BALBxC3H) 4-month-old adult female mice to 3 weeks of hindlimb unloading followed by 3 weeks of reambulation to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that define an individual's propensity to either lose trabecular bone when weight bearing is removed or to gain trabecular bone when weight bearing is reintroduced. Longitudinal in vivo micro-computed tomography (μCT) scans demonstrated that individual mice lost between 15% and 71% in trabecular bone volume fraction (BV/TV) in the distal femur during unloading (average: -43%). Changes in trabecular BV/TV during the 3-week reambulation period ranged from a continuation of bone loss (-18%) to large additions (56%) of tissue (average: +10%). During unloading, six QTLs accounted for 21% of the total variability in changes in BV/TV whereas one QTL accounted for 6% of the variability in changes in BV/TV during reambulation. QTLs were also identified for changes in trabecular architecture. Most of the QTLs defining morphologic changes during unloading or reambulation did not overlap with those QTLs identified at baseline, suggesting that these QTLs harbor genes that are specific for sensing changes in the levels of weight bearing. The lack of overlap in QTLs between unloading and reambulation also emphasizes that the genes modulating the trabecular response to unloading are distinct from those regulating tissue recovery during reloading. The identified QTLs contain the regulatory genes underlying the strong genetic regulation of trabecular bone's sensitivity to weight bearing and may help to identify individuals that are most susceptible to unloading-induced bone loss and/or the least capable of recovering.

    Thermal Curing Behavior of Mwcnt Modified Vinyl Ester-Polyester Resin Suspensions Prepared With 3-Roll Milling Technique
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2009) Seyhan, Abdullah Tuğrul; De La Vega, Alejandra; Tanoğlu, Metin; Schulte, Karl
    This study aims to investigate the curing behavior of a vinyl ester-polyester resin suspensions containing 0.3 wt % of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with and without amine functional groups (MWCNTs and MWCNT-NH2). For this purpose, various analytical techniques, including Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, and Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) were conducted. The resin suspensions with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared via 3-roll milling technique. DSC measurements showed that resin suspensions containing CNTs exhibited higher heat of cure (Q), besides lower activation energy (Ea) when compared with neat resin. For the sake of simplicity of interpretation, FTIR investigations were performed on neat vinyl ester resin suspensions containing the same amount of CNTs as resin. As a result, the individual fractional conversion rates of styrene and vinyl ester were interestingly found to be altered dependent on MWCNTs and MWCNT-NH2. The findings obtained from RS measurements of the cured samples are highly proportional to those obtained from FTIR measurements. TGA measurements revealed that CNT modified nanocomposites have higher activation energy of degradation (Ed) compared with the cured polymer. The findings obtained revealed that CNTs with and without amine functional groups alter overall thermal curing response of the surrounding matrix resin, which may probably impart distinctive characteristics to mechanical behavior of the corresponding nanocomposites achieved.
