In this paper, a compliant Cardan universal joint made of steel is introduced. This is the first steel compliant universal joint that is reported in the literature. The mechanism is produced from two different sheet metals; thus, it has the advantage of easiness in manufacturing. Many mechanisms with different dimensions are designed. Resultant stresses at flexural hinges are determined via analytical and finite element analysis method. Torque transmission capacities of these mechanisms are determined. Guidelines, trends, and parameter trade-offs for the design of such mechanisms are presented. Fatigue life of these mechanisms is estimated theoretically. Further, one of these mechanisms is manufactured and tested for fatigue strength. It is verified that results of experiments are consistent with theoretical predictions. It is strongly believed that the steel version of compliant Cardan joint has a great potential to be used in industry.

FEM-Based Design Modifications and Efficiency Improvements of a Brushed Permanent Magnet DC Motor Tarvirdilu-Asl, Rasul; Zeinali, Reza; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2017-05-27) This paper describes design modifications of a brushed permanent magnet DC motor. Test motor is modeled using a Finite Element Method (FEM) based software. Model accuracy is investigated by comparing measurement and simulation results. Reducing material consumption in motor fabrication while the motor develops the desired torque at a higher efficiency is aimed in this paper. Modifications are done in three stages and simulations results are also presented. These results are also compared to simulation resul...
Hyperbolic heat conduction based weight function method for thermal fracture of functionally graded hollow cylinders Eshraghi, Iman; Soltani, Nasser; Dağ, Serkan (2018-08-01) This article introduces a weight function method for fracture analysis of a circumferentially cracked functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to thermal loads. The non-Fourier hyperbolic heat conduction model is used to determine the transient temperature distribution in the functionally graded cylinder. Solutions for transient temperature and stress distributions in the uncracked cylinder are derived by converting the governing differential equations into Fredholm integral equations in the Laplace do...
Dynamic analysis and modelling of a rocket launcher system Çiçek, Burak Can; Darendeliler, Haluk; İder, Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In this study, a compliant version of the cardan universal joint whose compliant parts are made of blue polished spring steel is considered. The original design consist of two identical parts assembled at right angles with respect to each other. Identical parts can be produced from planar materials; thus, it has the advantage of easiness in manufacturing. As a design example, two mechanisms are dimensioned with different plate thicknesses. The resultant stresses at flexural hinges of these samples are deter...
Nano patterning of AISI 316L stainless steel with Nonlinear Laser Lithography: Sliding under dry and oil-lubricated conditions Gnilitskyi, Iaroslav; Rotundo, Fabio; Martini, Carla; Pavlov, Ihor; Ilday, Serim; Vovk, Evgeny; Ilday, Fatih Omer; Orazi, Leonardo (2016-07-01) Femtosecond laser-based Nonlinear Laser Lithography (NLL) was applied to AISI 316L stainless steel, which requires surface modification to achieve satisfactory tribological behaviour. NLL advances over the well-known Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) in terms of uniformity and long-range order of high speeds, over large areas. A galvanometric scanner head was used for an high production rate. Dry and lubricated sliding tests, considering different orientations of the nanotexture showed that ...
Experimental Investigation of Strength of Curved Beam by Thin Ply Non-Crimp Fabric Laminates Arca, M. A.; PAPİLA, MELİH; Çöker, Demirkan (2016-06-09) Resistance against delamination failure and through the thickness tensile properties of curved carbon fiber reinforced plastics composites are investigated experimentally by conducting the curved beam strength tests. Effect of novel material thin ply non crimp fabric (NCF) architecture on delamination resistance of carbon fiber reinforced composites are investigated and compare with that of standard UD layups. In order to determine through the thickness tensile properties of curved carbon fiber composites, ...
