Nanoindentation is a widely used tool for probing the mechanical properties of materials at the nanoscale. The analysis of the load-displacement curve obtained from nanoindentation provides the hardness and elastic modulus of the material. While hardness is a useful parameter for comparing different alloys and understanding tribological behavior, yield strength is a more useful parameter for alloy design and application in general. The yield strength of a nanoindentation-tested material can be estimated by combining the hardness result with the Tabor factor. This approach is well-established for homogeneous and isotropic materials; however, the application of the approach to recently developed laminated nanocomposites requires a better understanding of the plasticity under nanoindentation. Due to the complicated stress state and the nonhomogeneous geometry of the nanolaminated structure, there is a need to employ numerical methods for this analysis. In this study, the mechanical behavior of a model system of nanolaminated Cu-Nb under nanoindentation was investigated, through modeling the test using finite element method. The force-controlled simulation provided the load-displacement curve that would be obtained from an actual experiment, and Oliver-Pharr method was employed to obtain the hardness of the nanocomposite. The results show that the rule-of-mixture is a good approximation for estimating the nanoindentation hardness of the composites, if the mechanical properties of the constituents are known.

Micromechanical modelling of carbon nanotube reinforced composite materials with a functionally graded interphase Taç, Vahidullah; Gürses, Ercan (SAGE Publications, 2019-12-01) This paper introduces a new method of determining the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-polymer composites using a multi-inclusion micromechanical model with functionally graded phases. The nanocomposite was divided into four regions of distinct mechanical properties; the carbon nanotube, the interface, the interphase and bulk polymer. The carbon nanotube and the interface were later combined into one effective fiber using a finite element model. The interphase was modelled in a functionally graded m...
Effect of substrate type on structural and optical properties of metal nanoparticles for plasmonic applications Tanyeli, İrem; Turan, Raşit; Bek, Alpan; Department of Physics (2011) In this work, the structural and optical properties of metal nanoparticles fabricated on various substrates have been investigated. The particles were fabricated by electron beam lithography (EBL) and dewetting of a thin metal film. The advantages and disadvantages of these two fabrication techniques are discussed by considering the properties of the nanoparticles and the applicability to large area substrates. Being a practical fabrication method, dewetting can be applied to any substrate with either small...
Finite element modelling of a composite wind turbine blade with fully-bonded and partically unbonded trailing edge Özyıldız, Meltem; Çöker, Demirkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) In this thesis, strength analysis of an existing 5-meter glass-fiber epoxy composite wind turbine blade subjected to monotonic loading condition is presented. Finite element analysis is employed to simulate the virtual testing of the blade and understand the failure modes/mechanisms which may lead to the ultimate failure of the blade. CAD Model of the blade is prepared using NX 10.0 and ANSYS ACP/Pre module is utilized for building the material model of the blade. The evaluation of the stresses is carried o...
Finite element modelling and analysis of recoil springs in automatic weapons Zaloğlu, Hakan; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) As a tool for weapon designers, a finite element based analysis methodology is developed for estimating the mechanical behavior of the recoil spring during a firing cycle. All models are developed in LS-DYNA to be used in analysis to estimate the nonlinear force deflection characteristics and dynamic stress in the spring during a representative firing cycle. An experimental study is also performed to validate the finite element based analysis methodology. Modeling, analysis approach and modeling parameters ...
Finite element modeling of micro particle separation using ultrasonic standing waves Süleyman, Büyükkoçak; Çetin, Barbaros; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (2014-08-07) Acoustophoresis which means separation of particles and cells using acoustic waves is becoming an intensive research subject. The method is based on inducing an ultrasonic compression standing wave inside a microchannel. A finite element approach is used to model the acoustic and electro-mechanical behavior of the piezoelectric material, the micro-channel geometry as well as the fluid inside the channel. The choices of silicon and PDMS materials are investigated as the chip materials for the resonator. A se...
