    High Strain-Rate Deformation Analysis of Open-Cell Aluminium Foam
    (Elsevier, 2023) Mauko, Anja; Duarte, Isabel; Borovinšek, Matej; Vesenjak, Matej; Ren, Zoran; Sarıkaya, Mustafa; Güden, Mustafa
    This 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 Authors

    Epoxy Matrix Nano Composites: Modulus, Strength and Ductility Enhancement Through Auxeticity of Α-Cristobalite Filler
    (Elsevier, 2023) Güden, Mustafa; Ülker, Sevkan; Movahedi, Nima
    The negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) nano-size ?-Cristobalite particle/epoxy composites were prepared and tensile tested. The elastic modulus and strength of the composites were improved as the particle volume fraction increased from 0 to 0.02. Unlike the conventional particle reinforced composites, the fracture strain increased with the nano ?-Cristobalite addition, an effect which was ascribed to the intrinsic NPR behavior of the filler. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.

    Impact Loading of Functionally Graded Metal Syntactic Foams
    (Elsevier, 2022) Movahedi, Nima; Fiedler, Thomas; Taşdemirci, Alper; Murch, Graeme E.; Belova, Irina V.; Güden, Mustafa
    The present study addresses the impact loading of functionally graded metal syntactic foams (FG-MSF). For comparison, samples of the same material were also compression loaded at quasi-static velocities. Samples of A356 aluminium FG-MSF were produced using counter-gravity infiltration casting with combination of equal-sized layers of expanded perlite (EP) and activated carbon (AC) particles. A modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar test set-up was used to impact the FG-MSFs from their EP or AC layers at 55 m/s or 175 m/s impact velocities. A high-speed camera captured the deformation of the samples during testing. It was shown that increasing the loading velocity enhanced both the compressive proof strength and energy absorption of the impacted FG-MSF from both layers, confirming a dynamic strengthening effect of the foam. The samples impacted from both layers at 55 and 175 m/s showed a transition and a shock mode of deformation, respectively. The impacted samples at 55 m/s experienced lower final average strain values compared to 175 m/s.

    The Strain Rate Sensitive Flow Stresses and Constitutive Equations of a Selective-Laser and an Annealed-Rolled 316l Stainless Steel: a Comparative Study
    (Elsevier, 2022) Güden, Mustafa; Enser, Samed; Bayhan, Mesut; Taşdemirci, Alper; Yavaş, Hakan
    The strain rate dependent compressive flow stresses of a Selective-Laser-Melt 316L (SLM-316L) alloy and a commercial (annealed-extruded) 316L (C-316L) alloy were determined, for comparison, between 1x10-4 and ∼2500 s-1 and between 1x10-4 and ∼2800 s-1, respectively. The Johnson and Cook flow stress material model parameters of both alloys were also determined. The microstructural examinations of the deformed cross-sections of tested specimens (interrupted tests) showed a twinning-induced-plasticity in SLM-316L alloy and a martensitic transformation-induced-plasticity in C-316L alloy. Twin and martensite formations were detected microscopically higher in the dynamically tested specimens until about 0.22 strain, while the twin and martensite formations decreased at increasing strains due to adiabatic heating. The rate sensitivity of SLM-316L was determined slightly higher than that of C-316L within the quasi-static strain rate range (1x10-4 and 1x10-2 s-1), while the rate sensitivities of both alloys were similar in the quasi-static-high strain rate range (1x10-4 and ∼2500-2800 s-1) at low strains. A more rapid decrease in the rate sensitivity of C-316L at increasing strains was found in the quasi-static-high strain rate range. The similar activation volumes of both alloys, corresponding to the dislocation intersections, indicated a similar thermally activated deformation process involvement in both alloys.

    Testing and Modeling Blast Loading of a Sandwich Structure Cored With a Bio-Inspired (balanus) Core
    (Elsevier, 2022) Tüzgel, Fırat; Akbulut, Emine Fulya; Güzel, Erkan; Yücesoy, Atacan; Şahin, Selim; Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, Mustafa
    The blast loading response of a sandwich structure consisted of bio-inspired (balanus) cores/units was investigated experimentally and numerically. A Direct Pressure Pulse (DPP) set-up was used to impose a blast-like loading. The equivalent blast conditions corresponding to the used impact velocities were implemented in the models. A benchmark study was performed by using three different methods namely pure Lagrangian, Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian, and hybrid. Dynamic crushing behavior was analyzed and exhibited a higher specific energy absorption capacity than its constituents (core and shell). Among the core configurations, all-front configuration was found the most efficient configuration regarding the specific energy absorption.

    Orientation Dependent Tensile Properties of a Selective-Laser 316l Stainless Steel
    (Elsevier, 2021) Güden, Mustafa; Yavaş, Hakan; Tanrıkulu, Ahmet Alptuğ; Taşdemirci, Alper; Akın, Barış; Enser, Samed; Karakuş, Ayberk; Arslan Hamat, Burcu
    The effect of specimen inclination angle with respect to building direction on the tensile properties of a selective laser melt 316L alloy was investigated. Tensile test specimens were fabricated with the angles between 0 degrees to 90 degrees at 15 degrees intervals using a rotation scanning. In addition, 316L alloy test specimens were generated in the ANSYS 2020R1 additive module and tensile tested in LS-DYNA in order to determine the effect of residual stresses on the tensile strengths. The microscopic analysis revealed a strong < 110 > fiber texture orientation along the building direction (the loading axis of 0 degrees inclined specimens) and a weak 111 texture or nearly random distribution of directions in the normal to the building direction (tensile loading axis of 90 degrees inclined specimens). The yield and tensile strength increased and ductility decreased with increasing inclination angle. The strength variation with the inclination angle was shown well-fitted with the Tsai-Hill failure criterion. Although, the used numerical models indicated an inclination-dependent residual stress, the difference in the residual stresses was much lower than the difference in the strengths between 0 degrees and 90 degrees inclined specimens. Predictions showed a lower twinning stress in 0 degrees inclined specimens due to < 110 > fiber texture orientation in the tensile axis. The fiber texture resulted in extensive twinning; hence, higher ductility and tension-compression asymmetry in 0 degrees inclined specimens. Based on these results, the variations in the strength and ductility of tested SLM-316L specimens with the inclination angle was ascribed to the variations in the angle between the fiber texture orientation and loading axis.

    The Expansion Behavior of Slurries Containing Recycled Glass Powder Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Lime and Aluminum Powder
    (Elsevier, 2020) Zeren, Doğuş; Şentürk, Ufuk; Güden, Mustafa
    The 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. All rights reserved.

    Effect of Strain Rate on the Compression Behaviour of a Woven Fabric S2-Glass Fiber Reinforced Vinyl Ester Composite
    (Elsevier, 2003) Akil, Övünç; Yıldırım, Uygar; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    Quasi-static (~10−3s−1) and high strain rate (>500 s−1) compression behavior of an S2-glass woven fabric/vinyl ester composite plate was determined in the in-plane and through-thickness directions. In both directions, modulus and failure strength increased with increasing strain rate. A higher strain rate sensitive modulus was found in the through-thickness direction while a higher strain rate sensitive failure strength was found in the in-plane direction. In the in-plane direction, the failure mode was observed to change from splitting followed by “kink banding” (localized fiber buckling) to predominantly splitting at increasing strain rates, while it remained the same in the through-thickness direction.
