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 utilizing the tensile test data in quasi-static loading condition and impact test data for impact loading condition. High strain rate material characterization of the metallic material is performed by the modified Taylor impact test and velocity interferometry. Modified Taylor impact test system and how the free surface velocity measurement by the velocity interferometry-VISAR is utilized for the determination of the strain rate constant of the Johnson-Cook material model are described in detail. Experimentally determined material constants are verified by simulating the modified Taylor impact test in Autodyn and comparing the experimentally and numerically determined free surface velocities.

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.

Strain Gradient Crystal Plasticity Approach to Modelling Micro-Plastic Flow and Localisation in Polycrystalline Materials Simonovski, Igor; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2015-09-17) Structural materials in the reactor pressure vessels are exposed to a harsh environment, resulting in a number of material degradation processes. Irradiation generates a number of point defects in the atomic structure of a material. In addition, plastic slip localization occurs on the grain level size where highly-deformed narrow bands of material appear already at the moderate strain levels. These bands are called channels or clear bands, because they are almost empty of irradiation defects, whereas the su...
Ideal Location of Intermediate Ring Stiffeners on Discretely Supported Cylindrical Shells Topkaya, Cem (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-04-01) Silos in the form of a cylindrical metal shell are commonly elevated to provide access to the space beneath, permitting the contained materials to be directly discharged. A few discrete column supports at evenly spaced intervals are commonly used. However, the structural design of discretely supported cylindrical shells presents a variety of challenges. The presence of discrete supports results in circumferential nonuniformity in the axial compressive stress as well as a progressive vertical decay above the...
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...
Analysis of silo supporting ring beams and intermediate ring stiffeners Zeybek, Özer; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Silos in the form of a cylindrical metal shell are commonly supported by a few discrete columns to permit the contained materials to be directly discharged. The discrete supports produce a circumferential non-uniformity in the axial membrane stresses in the silo shell. One way of reducing the non-uniformity of these stresses is to use a very stiff ring beam which partially or fully redistributes the stresses from the local support into uniform stresses in the shell. Another alternative is to use a combinati...
