Fibre or textile reinforcement is commonly used in order to enhance the directional mechanical and thermal properties of rubbery polymers. For the quantitative analysis and design of fibre reinforced elastomeric materials, precise description of the composite behaviour plays a crucial role. To this end, a coupled thermomechanical formulation at finite strains is presented. The anisotropic thermal and mechanical properties are homogenized analytically throughout the constitutive description. For the description of the directional mechanical properties, logarithmic strain measures at fibre orientation direction are introduced in order to describe the fibre behaviour. The viscosity plays a crucial role in the heating of rubber components under cyclic loading. Contribution of thermodynamically consistent heat sources to the thermal problem are also considered. The coupled finite element implementation based on the isothermal split algorithm is demonstrated by a benchmark numerical example.

Analytical modeling of fiber reinforced composite deep beams Yağmur, Eren; Burak Bakır, Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Discrete fibers are often used as reinforcement to increase the tensile and shear strengths of concrete. For many years, the behavior of fiber reinforced composite members has been investigated both experimentally and analytically. The influence of fibers on the behavior of shear critical members is quite significant, therefore, it is inevitable to develop a method, which estimates the shear strength of fiber reinforced composite deep beams realistically. This is why one of the main objectives of this study...
Multifunctional properties of polymer foams and composites Özkutlu Demirel, Merve; Bayram, Göknur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2020-9) Polymer foams are low-density materials that consist of solid and gas phases and are used for insulation and transportation applications. This study aims to produce poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) foams with low density and improved thermal and mechanical properties using syntactic foam production and supercritical CO2 (scCO2) foaming methods. Syntactic foams were produced dispersing 5, 10, and 15 wt.% hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) in the PMMA matrix. Using different HGM types based on their density, su...
Sensitivity Analysis of Distortion of Carburized Steel Shafts Using Computer Simulations Yazır, Büşra; Evcil, Elif; Yıldız, Seçil; Davut, Kemal; Şimşir, Caner (null; 2016-12-01) Carburizing and subsequent quenching heat treatments are commonly used industrial processes to improve the properties and performance of steel shafts. Undesired dimensional and shape changes (distortion) related to these treatments are still the most frequent reason for expensive and time consuming corrective operations, low performance during service and even product rejection. The major aim of this study is to identify the suitable control parameters for subsequent optimization of the carburized quenching...
Investigation of novel geometrical design concepts for damping treatments Çavuş, Bertuğhan; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-11) Surface damping treatment concepts are developed utilizing viscoelastic materials as a damping layer where it is applied to the main structure. The main aim for adding these materials is to increase cyclic deformation in the frequency region of interest, which increases dissipated energy from the main structure. Constrained layer damping treatment is the most common, where the viscoelastic layer is constrained by a stiff top layer. Recently, a spacer or standoff layer has been added between the base and con...
Numerical modelling of contracted sharp-crested weirs and combined weir and gate systems Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Duru, Aysel (Wiley, 2020-05-01) Discharge measurement and control structures are widely employed in hydraulic engineering applications. The objective of this study is to numerically investigate the modelling of two different structures, namely sharp-crested weirs as Problem 1 and combined weir and gate systems as Problem 2. The research methodology herein is based on the comparison of results of numerical simulations with experimental data for both problems separately. For the purpose of performing numerical simulations, the Reynolds-aver...
