In this study, the effect of hole reinforcement on the buckling behaviour of thin-walled structures mostly used in aircrafts is investigated under combined loads. A fuselage floor beam with real dimensions is used for the buckling analysis, and a parametric study based on several loading scenarios is considered. Investigated structures include different ratios of hole diameter to reinforcement width (d/w), ratios of reinforcement height to web plate thickness (h/t), and the aspect ratio of the web plate (a/b). The material of the thin walled structure is Al 7075 series. The commercial finite element analysis program, ABAQUS, is used for buckling analysis. The loading scenarios such as compression, shear, and bending, as well as combined loading are considered using a validated finite element model. For the selected range of geometrical parameters, buckling loads and allowable buckling stresses are computed. Furthermore, compression, shear and bending rates are calculated, and the interaction curves are plotted with the help of data obtained from the finite element studies. The effect of loading scenario on the buckling strength is compared for beam without a hole, with a hole and with a hole plus reinforcement cases. The main goal of this study is to provide engineers graphical data that can be used to check whether or not a structure will fail under several defined load cases including combined loading.

Effect of solidification rate on spatial distribution of SiC particles in A356 alloy composites
CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-26)
The damage and deformation behaviour of particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs) can be highly sensitive to local variations in spatial distribution of reinforcement particles, which markedly depend on melt processing and solidification stages during production of PMMCs. The present paper attempts to study the effect of solidification rate on cluster formation in an Al-Si-Mg (A356) alloy composite reinforced with SiC particles and to explore the applicability of spatial functions to PMMC micro...
Effect of inelastic behaviour of load bearing walls on the frame–wall structural systems
Güler, Gökay; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of material and geometric nonlinearities occurring in beams, columns and walls of RC frame-wall structural systems when undergoing severe ground excitations. For this purpose, a low-rise RC building is considered with and without walls, and the joining beams and columns are designed with the strong-column weak-beam concept. The dimensions, material properties and the reinforcement amounts are calculated in accordance with the values suggested in desi...
Effect of gap distance on the mechanical properties and cross-sectional characteristics of the MIG-MAG butt wells
Kaşıkçı, İlker; Ankara, Osman Alpay; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003)
This study was undertaken with the objective of determining the effect of gap distance on the weld bead geometry and the mechanical properties of the weldments. Low-alloyed and low carbon steel plates were welded under different conditions where each weldment had different gap distance and weld bead grooves. The influences of welding parameters namely, welding speed, current and voltage on the weld bead were examined in terms of weld bead penetration and heat affected zone and weld metal zone hardness varia...
Effect of cutting speed on tool performance in milling of B4Cp reinforced aluminum metal matrix composites
Karakas, M. Serdar; Acir, Adem; Ubeyli, Mustafa; Ögel, Bilgehan (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-14)
In this study, wear behavior of various tools in milling process of Al-4Cu/B4Cp composites was investigated. For this purpose, composite samples were produced by liquid phase sintering to be used in milling operation. Five different cutting speeds at a constant feed rate of 0.20 mm/z were used in order to determine the effect of cutting speed on tool wear and tool wear mechanism in milling of these composites. Milling operations were continued until flank wear limit (V-B)=0.3 mm was attained for each tool. ...
The effect of double austenitization on the microstructure and toughness of AISI M2 high speed steel
Ögel, Bilgehan (1998-06-01)
In this study, the effect of double austenitization on microstructure and toughness of AISI M2 high speed steel was investigated. For double austenitization treatment, the specimens, which are hardened initially at 1220 degrees C and quenched in air, were hardened for a second time in the temperature range 1150 - 1050 degrees C. For comparison purposes, another set of specimens is austenitized singly in the temperature range 1150 - 1050 degrees C. Tempering process was carried out between 500 - 640 degrees ...
