Porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys are widely used in the biomedical applications for hard tissue implantation due to their elastic moduli being close to that of bone. In this study, porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys were produced with a powder metallurgical process, space holder technique, where magnesium powders were utilized to generate porosity in the range of 51-65 vol%. The production of porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys was composed of three steps. Firstly, spherical Ti-6Al-4V powders with an average size of 55 mu m were mixed with spherical magnesium powders, which have been sieved to an average size of 375 mu m. Secondly, the mixtures were compacted with a hydraulic press under 500 MPa pressure by using a double-ended steel die. Finally, the green compacts were heated to 1200 degrees C, during which magnesium powder evaporates, and sintered for 2 h under high purity argon gas atmosphere. Processed foams were investigated under scanning electron microscope and yielded that the foams were composed of spherical, interconnected macropores and irregular shaped micropores. Monotonic compression tests were conducted under quasi-static test conditions to the processed foams. Yield strengths of the foams were found to vary between 69 and 167 MPa and elastic moduli were between 4 and 12 GPa. Processed foams were also dynamically tested under compression-compression fatigue with a stress ratio of 0.1. The foams exhibited similar fatigue response when maximum applied stress was normalized with the average yield strength of the corresponding porosity content It was found that foams were fatigue immune with a practical limit of 1 million cycles under a maximum applied stress of 0.75 sigma (normalized).

Characterization and fatigue behavior of Ti-6Al-4V foams Aşık, Emin Erkan; Bor, Şakir; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys are widely used in the biomedical applications for hard tissue implantation due to its biocompatibility and elastic modulus being close to that of bone. In this study, porous Ti-6Al-4V alloys were produced with a powder metallurgical process, space holder technique, where magnesium powders were utilized in order to generate porosities in the range of 50 to 70 vol. %. In the productions of Ti-6Al-4V foams, first, the spherical Ti-6Al-4V powders with an average size of 55 μm were mixed...
Fatigue life estimation of tuned vibration absorbers with response estimation method Yılmaz, Yunus; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-5-24) Tuned Vibration Absorbers are designed and used in applications where any unwanted vibration is needed to be elimination from a vibrating system. In order to accomplish that goal TVAs are needed to be designed to absorb vibrational energy on its own at a specified frequency. Since the energy is absorbed from main system to the TVA, this energy will cause high vibration levels on the TVA. Due to the excessive vibration that occurs on the TVA, vibrational fatigue life is a concern for TVA design. Vibrational ...
Plastic slip patterns through rate-independent and rate-dependent plasticity Lancioni, Giovanni; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2014-05-09) Plastic deformation induces various types of dislocation microstructures at different length scales, which eventually results in a heterogeneous deformation field in metallic materials. Development of such structures manifests themselves as macroscopic hardening/softening response and plastic anisotropy during strain path changes, which is often observed during forming processes. In this paper we present two different non-local plasticity models based on non-convex potentials to simulate the intrinsic rate-...
Facile control of hydroxyapatite particle morphology by utilization of calcium carbonate templates at room temperature Oral, Çağatay M.; Çalışkan, Arda; Kapusuz, Derya; Ercan, Batur (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01) Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)) particles are widely used in orthopedic applications due to their chemical resemblance to the inorganic component of bone tissue. Since physical and chemical properties of HAp particles influence bone regeneration, various synthesis techniques were developed to precisely control the particle properties. However, most of these techniques required high reaction temperatures, which limited the spectrum of obtained HAp particle morphologies. In this study, ellipsoidal,...
Non-convex rate dependent strain gradient crystal plasticity and deformation patterning Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M.G.D. (2012-09-15) A rate dependent strain gradient crystal plasticity framework is presented where the displacement and the plastic slip fields are considered as primary variables. These coupled fields are determined on a global level by solving simultaneously the linear momentum balance and the slip evolution equation, which is derived in a thermodynamically consistent manner. The formulation is based on the 1D theory presented in Yalcinkaya et al. (2011), where the patterning of plastic slip is obtained in a system with no...
