Failure of metallic structures operating under shock loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure's dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical, or a combination of both methods is used for evaluations. In this study, test pieces made of two different materials are subjected to shock loads stemming from firing of a Gatling gun. Strain measurements are made, and finite element analysis of the test piece is performed. As a result of this study, strain energy density theory is applied to predict the shock failure of metallic structures.

Failure of metallic structures operating under shock loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure’s dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical or a combination of both methods are used for evaluations. The experimental analysis of the shocks due to firing is done for 12.7mm Gatling gun and 25mm cannon. During the tests, the Gatling gun and the cannon are located...

Fatigue failure of metallic structures operating under dynamic loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure̕s dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical or a combination of both methods are used for fatigue evaluations. Fatigue failure can occur on systems and platforms as well as components to be mounted on the platform. In this thesis, a helicopter̕s Missile W...
Utilization of friction stir processing to improve the mechanical properties of gas metal arc welded 5083 aluminum alloy plates
Takht Firouzeh, Shahin; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2016)
Fatigue failure of the welded structures is a major problem in engineering applications. It is known that the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the welded Al-alloys is prone to fail due to coarse microstructure and poor mechanical properties. Therefore, any improvement in HAZ may extend the service life of the welded component. The hypothesis of this study is that localized application of friction stir processing (FSP) before welding may improve the mechanical properties of HAZ, and thus, may reduce the fatigue c...
Vibration fatigue analysis of equipments used in aerospace
Aykan, Murat; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
Metal Fatigue of dynamically loaded structures is a very common phenomenon in engineering practice. As the loading is dynamic one cannot neglect the dynamics of the structure. When the loading frequency has a wide bandwidth then there is high probability that the resonance frequencies of the structure will be excited. When this happens then one cannot assume that the structures response to the loading will remain linear in the frequency domain. Thus to overcome such situations frequency domain fatigue analy...
NONDESTRUCTIVE MONITORING OF VARIATIONS OF RESIDUAL STRESSES IN STEEL WELDMENTS BY MAGNETIC BARKHAUSEN NOISE METHOD
Gür, Cemil Hakan; Batıgün, Caner; Çam, İbrahim (2013-07-18)
Variations of surface residual stresses as a function of weld runs in API 5L X70 steel plates were non-destructively monitored by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) method. After each weld run, MBN signal and hardness distributions were recorded. MBN signals were converted into stress values by using a specific calibration procedure. The results were analyzed by considering microstructure investigations and hardness measurements, and then, they were compared with the results of X-ray diffraction measurements. ...
