Lug-bush connection members are widely used in aerospace industry, specifically in the connection of rotor to helicopter main body. Under small amplitude cyclic loadings, a fraction of the contact area experiences relative motion which causes fretting on the contacting surfaces. In this study, failure mechanisms of four different lug-bush members subjected to high cycle tensile fatigue loading are investigated. The contact surfaces are inspected using a digital microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Different surface regimes are observed at the mating surfaces which are shown to be the results of partial stick and slip of the contacting bodies. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis in SEM showed that rubbing of lug-bush surfaces created wear debris at the sliding regions which then corroded and formed a tribolayer. A crack is observed to initiate in the vicinity of tribolayer boundary. FEA of these members are carried out using ABAQUS by defining interference and contact to mating surfaces of the lug and bush. The results showed qualitative agreement with the experimental investigations in terms of peak slip locations. (c) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK BASED DESIGN TOOL FOR AIRCRAFT ENGINE BOLTED FLANGE CONNECTION SUBJECT TO COMBINED AXIAL AND MOMENT LOAD Sanli, T. Volkan; Gürses, Ercan; Çöker, Demirkan; Kayran, Altan (2017-11-09) Bolted flange connections are one of the most commonly used joint types in aircraft structures. Typically, bolted flange connections are used in aircraft engines. The main duty of a bolted flange connection in an aircraft engine is to serve as the load transfer interface from one part of the engine to the other part of the engine. In aircraft structures, weight is a very critical parameter which has to be minimized while having the required margin of safety for the structural integrity. Therefore, optimum d...
Application of structural modification method to nonlinear vibration analysis of bladed disks Şayin, Burcu; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) High cycle fatigue failure of turbine blades is one of the most important problems in the design of gas turbine engines; hence, bladed-disk assemblies have been studied extensively for more than half a century. Damping design becomes an important issue in order to attenuate the blade vibration. For bladed-disk systems, friction damping concept is a common strategy to decrease vibration levels. There are different strategies in order to add friction damping to the system: blade-to-blade dampers such as shrou...
Investigation of rotor wake interactions in helicopters using 3d unsteady free vortex wake methodology Yemenici, Öznur; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) This thesis focuses on developing and examining the capabilities of a new in-house aerodynamic analysis tool, AeroSIM+, and investigating rotor-rotor aerodynamic interactions for two helicopters, one behind the other in forward flight. AeroSIM+ is a 3-D unsteady vortex panel method potential flow solver based on a free vortex wake methodology. Validation of the results with the experimental data is performed using the Caradonna-Tung hovering rotor test case. AeroSIM+ code is improved for forward flight cond...
Investigation of wear behavior of aged and non-aged SiC-reinforced AlSi7Mg2 metal matrix composites in dry sliding conditions ÇELİK, YAHYA HIŞMAN; Demir, Mehmet Emin; KILIÇKAP, EROL; Kalkanlı, Ali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01) Metal matrix composites (MMCs) with their splendid mechanical properties have been specifically designed for use in fields such as aerospace and aviation. The presence of hard ceramic particles in MMC increases the hardness of the matrix product and decreases its coefficient of friction. Therefore, the wear resistance is improved. Moreover, the mechanical properties of these composite materials can be improved by applying heat treatments. In this study, AlSi7Mg2 MMCs with 15 wt% SiC reinforcement were produ...
Investigation of the effect of bending twisting coupling on the loads in wind turbines with superelement blade definition Gozcu, M. O.; Kayran, Altan (2014-01-01) Bending-twisting coupling in the composite blades is exploited for load alleviation in the whole turbine system. For the purpose of the study, inverse design of a reference blade is performed such that sectional beam properties of the 3D blade design approximately match the sectional beam properties of NREL's 5MW turbine blade. In order to appropriately account for the bending-twisting coupling effect, dynamic superelement of the blade is created and introduced into the multi-body dynamic model of the wind ...
