Micromechanical modeling is used to determine the stresses and strains due to both mechanical and thermal loads in [0/90] titanium matrix composites (TMCs) subjected to cooldown from the processing temperature and subsequent thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) loading conditions. The [0/90] composite is treated as a material system composed of three constituents: fiber and matrix in the [0] ply, and a [90] ply. The [0/90]s layup is modeled by a uniaxial stress rule of mixtures model for the [0] ply and adding a parallel element to the [0] model and invoking strain compatibility and stress equilibrium in the loading direction. The fiber in the [0] ply is treated as elastic and the matrix in the [0] ply is treated as viscoplastic with temperature dependent mechanical properties. The [90] ply is characterized as a viscoplastic material including damage from fiber/matrix interface separation. Computations are made for isothermal fatigue as well as in-phase and out-of-phase TMF conditions for the crossply SCS-6/Timetal®21S composite. Effects of frequency and maximum temperature on the composite and constituent stress-strain behavior are evaluated. Fiber/matrix separation and strain ratchetting are found to be important factors in describing the response. Fiber stresses are shown to be dominant in isothermal fatigue at low frequencies as well as under in-phase TMF conditions. Matrix stresses dominate the behavior under high frequency isothermal fatigue and out-of-phase TMF. The use of tenth cycle constituent stresses is shown to be a good compromise between capturing the fully relaxed behavior and computational efficiency.

Analysis of the thermomechanical behavior of [0] and [0/90] SCS-6/Timetal 21S composites Çöker, Demirkan; Nicholas, Theodore (null; 1993-12-01) Micromechanical modeling is used to determine the stresses and strains due to both mechanical and thermal loads in [0] and [0/90] titanium matrix composites (TMCs) subjected to processing and thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) loading conditions. The concentric cylinder model, due to its simple geometry as well as its capability to capture the three-dimensional aspects of the stress state in a composite, is used to determine the stresses in a unidirectional composite. A representative volume element of the comp...
Development of a computer program for the analysis of fatigue crack growth Dalgıç, Ali Murtaza; Bilir, Ömer Gündüz; Kadıoğlu, Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2002) In this study, a computer program is developed for fatigue crack propagation analysis of metal alloys and random fiber composites. The developed program takes the fatigue crack propagation experiment data in the form of crack length vs. number of cycles from the user. The user also, selects the crack geometry and defines loading conditions of the test specimen. Developed program analyze the experimental data and evaluates crack growth rate and stress intensity range. For the calculated or ready crack growth...
Effects of SiC particulates on the fatigue behaviour of an Al-alloy matrix composite Kaynak, Cevdet (2006-01-01) In this study, the fatigue behaviour of aluminium matrix-silicon carbide (SiC) particulate reinforced composite specimens was investigated in comparison to the matrix aluminium alloy containing 12 wt% Si. Three different weight percentages of SiC particulates: 5, 10, and 15 in the size range of 40-60 gm were injected into the melt. Mg was also added to improve the wettability of Al-alloy matrix over SiC particulates resulting in better interfacial bonding. Test specimens were machined from squeeze casting b...
Analysis of thermomechanical cyclic behavior of unidirectional metal matrix composites Çöker, Demirkan; Nicholas, Theodore (1993-01-01) An analytical tool is developed to determine the three-dimensional stress state in a unidirectional composite subjected to axial loading and changes in temperature. A finite difference method is used to analyze a representative volume element of the composite which consists of concentric cylinders. The constituents are assumed to be elastic-plastic materials having temperature dependent properties. An iterative technique using the Prandtl-Reuss flow rule to determine incremental plastic strains is implement...
Implementation of Dirlik’s damage model for the vibration fatigue analysis Demirel, Gürzap İ.; Kayran, Altan (2019) Mechanical fatigue is an important phenomenon when the structures are exposed to dynamic, fluctuating loadings. Especially aerospace structures are commonly exposed to random vibration loadings. In this paper, random vibration fatigue is studied both numerically and experimentally. For this purpose, a rectangular cross-section notched beam is designed in order to conduct the vibration fatigue analysis in the frequency domain by the Dirlik's damage model. Aluminum and steel notched beams are prepared in orde...
