In this article, analysis and testing processes of the prototype of a helicopter’s mission system sensor (MSS)-cowling assembly is described. MSS is an add-on unit which is mounted on the helicopter body. In order to ensure that the attached unit functions for a specified life without structural failure, a careful analysis and testing program had been implemented. The approach described here which involves accelerated life testing (ALT) establishes an appropriate methodology for such “integration” projects. The expected mode of failure for the MSS-cowling assembly was metal fatigue under random vibrations. Operational flight tests were performed for obtaining the loading data (accelerations) at the analyzed location. This data was utilized both in the numerical simulation (vibration fatigue analysis through finite element modeling) and in the actual testing of the assembly. In order to qualify the design life in the laboratory, ALT profiles were created by synthesizing the collected data. Fatigue test of the assembly was executed by using these profiles. At the same time strain gage data was collected at the critical locations. Representative alternating stress values were obtained by processing this strain data. By changing the test durations and accordingly the mission profile amplitudes a simple equation is proposed which relates ALT durations with the equivalent alternating stresses. The laboratory testing of the assembly was continued until failure. Results of numerical simulations and testing are discussed.

Assessment of a frequency-domain linearised Euler solver for turbofan aft radiation predictions and comparison with measurements Özyörük, Yusuf (2010-03-31) This paper presents a frequency-domain computational aeroacoustics tool for predicting aft noise radiation through turbofan ducts and jets and its application to two realistic engine exhaust configurations which have been experimentally tested. The tool is based on the discretised axisymmetric form of the linearised Euler equations in conjunction with perfectly matched layer equations at the inlet and far-field boundaries using high-order finite differences. The resultant linear system of equations is inver...
A Novel Acetylcholinesterase Biosensor: Core-Shell Magnetic Nanoparticles Incorporating a Conjugated Polymer for the Detection of Organophosphorus Pesticides Cancar, Hurija Dzudzevic; SÖYLEMEZ, Saniye; AKPINAR, Yeliz; KESİK, Melis; Goker, SEZA; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Volkan, Mürvet; Toppare, Levent Kamil (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-03-30) To construct a sensing interface, in the present work, a conjugated polymer and core shell magnetic nano particle containing biosensor was constructed for the pesticide analysis. The monomer 4,7-di(furan-2-yl)benzo [c] [1,2,5]-thiadiazole (FBThF) and core shell magnetic nanoparticles were designed and synthesized for fabrication of the biosensing device. The magnetic nanoparticles were first treated with silica and then modified using carboxyl groups, which enabled binding of the biomolecules covalently. Fo...
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 computational procedure for estimating residual stresses and secondary plastic flow limits in nonlinearly strain hardening rotating shafts Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-03-01) A computational procedure to estimate the residual stress distributions and the limit angular speeds for avoiding secondary plastic deformation in nonlinearly strain hardening rotating elastic-plastic shafts is given. The model is based on von Mises yield condition, J(2) deformation theory and a Swift-type hardening law. The boundary value problem for the governing nonlinear differential equation is solved by a shooting method using Newton iterations with numerically approximated tangent. Solid as well as h...
An ultra-wide band low-SAR flexible metasurface-enabled antenna for WBAN applications Yalduz, Husnu; Koc, Burak; Kuzu, Lokman; TÜRKMEN, MUSTAFA (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-09) In this study, an ultra-wideband low-specific absorption rate (SAR) flexible metasurface-enabled wearable antenna is proposed for wireless body area network applications. The antenna and metamaterial (MM) structure were designed and analyzed using a commercial electromagnetic simulation software program which uses a finite integration technique solver. The antenna is designed and fabricated on a jeans textile substrate in the size of 58 x 80 x 1 mm(3). Moreover, MM reflector was designed on a felt textile s...
