Fiber metal laminated composites are novel materials which have been developed in the last few decades especially for fatigue prone areas within the aircrafts. They consist of metals with modified surfaces and fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. Surface modification of metals carries importance because their bonding with fiber-resin matrix needs interdisciplinary knowledge about interface engineering. Surface of the metal substrates must be contaminant and moisture free and void content through interfaces of the final composite must be as low as possible to reach the desired mechanical strength. So, wetting of the liquid/resin and wettability capability of the solid/metal surface must be optimized. Different surface modifications like etching, anodizing, plasma spraying, laser texturing, silane or sol-gel etc. treatments are being used solely or together by industry. Fiber metal laminated composites have been investigated under the scope of etching-anodizing surface pretreatment with adhesive primer and fabricated with prepreg-autoclave manufacturing technique which are long-batch and expensive techniques while they are also hazardous. Within this study, surface treatments of aluminum 2024 T3 alloy based on sand paper abrasion and γ-glycidoxytrimethoxy silane treatment and fabrication of the fiber metal laminated composites by vacuum infusion manufacturing technique have been studied. The stress-strain and load-displacement relations and interface on both sides of composites have been investigated in relation with the surface roughness-contact angle-spreading capability controlled by the surface treatments applied. Achieved results have shown that vacuum infusion is a successful alternative technique for the fabrication of fiber metal laminated compositesi.

Analysis of hypersonic flow using three dimensional navier-stokes equations Özgün, Muharrem; Eyi, Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016) Metallic materials in aerospace structures are exposed to impact type loads depending on their usage area. High strain rate material characterization of metallic materials is very crucial to properly prepare finite element models to be used in impact loading situations. Johnson-Cook material model is a suitable material model to represent the behaviour of metallic materials at high strain rates. In the present thesis study, parameters of the Johnson-Cook material model for Al 7075-T651 are determined utiliz...

Ring Beam Stiffness Criterion for Column-Supported Metal Silos Topkaya, Cem (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-12-01) Cylindrical metal silos are commonly elevated to provide access space beneath to directly discharge the contained materials into transportation systems. Evenly spaced column supports are commonly utilized. In larger silos, the discrete forces from supports are more evenly transferred and distributed into the cylindrical shell wall by using a ring beam. A fundamental assumption in the design of the silo shell is that the meridional compressive stresses are relatively uniformly distributed around the circumfe...
Strengthening of L-shaped composite laminates using carbon nanotube reinforcement and thin ply non-crimp fabrics Arca, Miray Aydan; Çöker, Demirkan; Papila, Melih; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) The advances in manufacturing technologies have increased the use of composite materials in complex shapes such as curved beams. However, use of composites in complex geometries creates a weakness at the curvature and causes delamination failure. Major objective is to provide solution for this problem without degrading properties or increasing the weight of the structure. In this study, the effect of CNTs in the resin and the use of non-crimp fabric on the fracture toughness and curved beam strength of lami...
INVESTIGATION OF INTERSONIC FRACTURE IN HIGLY CURVED COMPOSITE LAMINATES UNDER QUASI-STATIC LOADING Gozluklu, B.; Uyar, I; Çöker, Demirkan (2014-07-25) In wind energy and aerospace industries, new advances in composite manufacturing technology enable to produce primary load carrying elements as composite materials in wide variety of shapes large such as an L-shape. However, due to the geometry, Interlaminar Normal Stresses (ILNS) are induced once a moderately thick laminate takes highly curved shape. In the curved part of the L-shaped structure, the development of ILNS promotes mode-I type of delamination propagation which is the weakest fracture mode. Thi...
