In this thesis, it is aimed to determine the ballistic limit thicknesses of ST-37 steel plates under oblique impact of bullets having hard steel core (DIN 100Cr6 at 61-62 HRc) by using both experimental and numerical methods. In experimental part, angles of attack of the bullets are changed from 0 to 70 degrees by 10 degrees increments. Bullet velocities are measured for each shot just before the impact and they are found to be between 790-830 m/s. The minimum plate thickness that is not perforated and the maximum plate thickness that is perforated are determined by conducting three shots for each angle of attack - plate thickness combination. After the monolithic case, for some angles, layered plate combinations are also investigated. In the numerical analysis part, Johnson Cook constitutive and failure models are used together with the data obtained from literature. Experiments are simulated numerically by using a commercial non-linear explicit hydrocode software package, ANSYS AUTODYN. Results of the numerical simulations and the experimental findings are presented in tabular and graphical forms and then compared to each other.

Transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites
Şen, Özge; Turhan, Doğan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2005)
In this study, transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites is investigated. Thermal effects, in addition to mechanical effects, are taken into consideration. A generalized thermoelasticity theory which incorporates the temperature rate among the constitutive variables and is referred to as temperature-rate dependent thermoelasticity theory is employed. This theory predicts finite heat propagation speeds. The body considered in this thesis consists o...
Mechanical fatique and life estimation analysis of printed circuit board components
Genç, Cem; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, vibration induced fatigue life analysis of axial leaded Tantalum & Aluminum capacitors, PDIP and SM capacitors mounted on the printed circuit boards are performed. This approach requires the finite element model, material properties and dynamic characteristics of the PCB. The young modulus of the PCB material is obtained from 3 point bending tests, resonance frequencies are obtained from modal tests and transmissibility’s of the PCB are obtained from transmissibility tests which are used as ...
Design and analysis of filament wound composite tubes
Balya, Bora; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004)
This thesis is for the investigation of the design and analysis processes of filament wound composite tubes under combined loading. The problem is studied by using a computational tool based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). Filament wound tubes are modeled as multi layered orthotropic tubes. Several analyses are performed on layered orthotropic tubes by using FEM. Results of the FEM are examined in order to investigate characteristics of filament wound tubes under different combined loading conditions. W...
Experimental study of solid propellant combustion instability
Çekiç, Ayça; Ulaş, Abdullah; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
In this study, experimental investigation of solid propellant combustion instability using an end burning T-Burner setup is performed. For this purpose, a T-Burner setup is designed, analyzed, constructed and tested with all its sub components. T-Burner setup constructed is mainly composed of a base part, a control panel and the T-Burner itself. Combustion chamber, pressure stabilization mechanism, pressurization system, measurement instruments and data acquisition systems form the T-Burner. Pressure stabil...
Exact solution of rotating FGM shaft problem in the elastoplastic state of stress
Akis, Tolga; Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-10-01)
Plane strain analytical solutions to estimate purely elastic, partially plastic and fully plastic deformation behavior of rotating functionally graded (FGM) hollow shafts are presented. The modulus of elasticity of the shaft material is assumed to vary nonlinearly in the radial direction. Tresca's yield criterion and its associated flow rule are used to formulate three different plastic regions for an ideal plastic material. By considerina different material compositions as well as a wide range of bore radi...
