Development of an advanced composite external fuel tank for air platforms
Karahan, Uğurcan; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
This thesis provides a design approach for an external fuel tank, which permits external mounting to the air platforms including rotorcrafts and aircrafts. The development stages include both a computational and an experimental study. In this thesis, unique combination of advanced composite material solutions is investigated in the structural design process. Filament-wound tank structure is modeled as multi-layered orthotropic structure. Various worst-case loading scenarios defined by internationally recogn...
Design and implementation of hot precision forging die for a spur gear
Maşat, Mehmet; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
There is a strong need in forging industry to reduce waste of material, improve quality, and reduce cost of forgings. About 30% of the material is wasted during conventional closed-die forging. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost of forged products and to obtain near-net or net shape parts, new forging methods should be applied. Precision forging concept is a cost-effective way to produce net-shape or near-net shape components. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the production of ge...
Determination of mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete
Yurtseven, Alp Eren; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
Fiber reinforcement is commonly used to provide toughness and ductility to brittle cementitious matrices. Reinforcement of concrete with a single type of fiber may improve the desired properties to a limited level. A composite is termed as hybrid, if two or more types of fibers are rationally combined to produce a composite that derives benefits from each of the individual fibers and exhibits a synergetic response. This study aims to characterize and quantify the mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinfo...
In-flight icing simulation on engine nacelles
Uğur, Nermin; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
In-flight ice accumulation on airframes may lead to great risks for flight safety due to aerodynamic performance degradation, loss of control, engine rollback and increase in weight. Certification concerns become an important topic when flight safety is considered. To prove that an aircraft can fly safely in certain icing conditions, authorities like FAA and EASA have defined meteorological conditions. Flight tests, laboratory tests and numerical simulations are the methods utilized to show compliance with ...
Use of perlite as a pozzolanic addition in blended cement production
Meral, Çağla; Erdoğan, Turhan Y.; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
Perlite is a volcanic glass which has high amount of silica and alumina. Those properties make it a candidate, if finely ground, for being used as a pozzolan. The studies on the pozzolanic properties of perlite are very limited, and none of them has dealt with the use of perlite in the blended cement production. The aim of this study is to investigate the pozzolanic properties of perlite, and if appropriate to investigate perlite̕s usability in blended cement production. For this purpose, perlites from two ...
