Inspired by the micro-scale "brick-and-mortar" architecture of nacre, epoxy matrix composites reinforced by aligned two-dimensional glass reinforcements were fabricated using a newly proposed simple, one-step, time and man-power efficient processing pathway called the hot-press assisted slip casting process (HASC). Effect of reinforcement aspect ratio along with interfacial compatibility and bonding on the mechanical behavior of the fabricated bulk nacre-mimetic composites was investigated. The achieved results indicated that composites reinforced by high aspect ratio flakes exhibited high energy absorption values until fracture as a result of extensive crack deflection along with flake pull-out, leading to highly torturous crack paths similar to the crack growth behavior of natural nacre. Furthermore, functionalization of the reinforcement surfaces by silane coupling agent improved the compatibility and interfacial adhesion between the reinforcements and the matrix, resulting in considerable enhancement of mechanical properties of fabricated bulk lamellar composites.

Nacre-mimetic bulk lamellar composites reinforced with high aspect ratio glass flakes GÜNER, SELEN; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (IOP Publishing, 2017-02-01) Nacre-mimetic epoxy matrix composites reinforced with readily available micron-sized high aspect ratio C-glass flakes were fabricated by a relatively simple, single-step, scalable, time, cost and manpower effective processing strategy: hot-press assisted slip casting (HASC). HASC enables the fabrication of preferentially oriented two-dimensional inorganic reinforcement-polymer matrix bulk lamellar composites with a micro-scale structure resembling the brick-and-mortar architecture of nacre. By applying the ...
Micro fluxgate sensor with cascaded planar ring cores Zorlu, O.; Kejik, P.; Teppan, W. (2009-09-09) In this paper, we present a new microfabricated fluxgate sensor structure having cascaded planar rings as the ferromagnetic core. A circular magnetic excitation is provided with a rod passing through the FeNi rings as a sewing thread. Planar coils placed under the edges of the core are used as sensing elements. The sensing coils and the excitation rod are made of AlSi, and the planar FeNi ferromagnetic core is electroplated in between the excitation rod metallization. The sensor with 18 cascaded cores has 6...
An experimental study of residual fiber strains in Ti-15-3 continuous fiber composites Pickard, S.M.; Miracle, D.B.; Majumdar, B.S.; Kendig, K.L.; Rothenflue, L.; Çöker, Demirkan (Elsevier BV, 1995-01-01) A simplified experimental technique to determine the axial fiber residual strain in continuously-reinforced metal matrix composites is described. The residual fiber strains in two Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn/SiC metal matrix composites have been measured with this technique. Residual fiber strains on the order of 0.2% are measured in the as-processed condition, and the residual stresses approach zero after testing the composite in tension to failure at room temperature. A conceptual description of the effect of tens...
A numerical procedure for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete frames with infill walls Güney, Murat Efe; Polat, Mustafa Uğur; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Materially non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures with infill walls requires appropriate mathematical models to be adopted for the beams and the columns as well as the infill walls. This study presents a mathematical model for frame elements based on a 3D Hermitian beam/column finite element and an equivalent strut model for the infill walls. The spread-of-plasticity approach is employed to model the material nonlinearity of the frame elements. The cross-section of the frame element is ...
THERMAL AND MASS DIFFUSIVITY FROM DYNAMIC SINGLE PELLET EXPERIMENTS DOGU, G; CABBAR, C; Doğu, Timur (Informa UK Limited, 1991-01-01) The single-pellet moment techniques previously developed for the evaluation of effective diffusion coefficient and effective thermal conductivity of a porous solid are combined and a procedure is proposed for the simultaneous evaluation of these constants from a single set of pulse response experiments. It is shown that both temperature and concentration response curves can be measured from a single pulse of oxygen injected into hydrogen carrier gas flowing past a catalyst pellet. It is shown that the zerot...
