In this study, fatigue behavior of cold extrusion dies is investigated analytically. Experimental studies and practical experience have shown that fatigue cracks occur at the inlet radius of die shoulders. The highest stress concentration is found also at the same location. For this reason, effective stress intensity factors at different locations of the die-shoulder inlet of a typical axisymmetric extrusion die have been calculated by using the finite element method. The crack growth has been simulated by applying the Paris/Erdogan fatigue law to the computed data. Finally, service life of the extrusion die has been estimated from the crack-growth-rate. Agreement of theoretical estimations with available data is found to be satisfactory within the limits of experimental uncertainties. Furthermore the experimental behavior of the crack growth (stable-unstable-stable growth with final fracture) is simulated correctly. It has been shown that the unexplained behavior is caused by decrease of stress concentration with increasing crack-length.

Vibration fatigue analysis and testing of notched beams Demirel, Gürzap İsmail; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (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. Even if the components are stable and durable for static requirements, vibration fatigue failures can occur due to the dynamic and fluctuating loadings. Moreover, if the loading frequency has a wide bandwidth as in random vibration loadings, the natural frequencies or resonance regions of the structures are disturbe...
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...
Analysis of effects of temperature variation on deep drawing process using different constitutive laws Demirkol, Rasih Hakan; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) In this study, the influences of temperature variation in deep drawing process are investigated by changing the temperatures of the whole blank, a part of the blank, the punch and die. Different yield criteria and hardening rules are considered to form the constitutive relations. The numerical results are obtained by using a commercial finite element software. Whereas Von-Mises and Hill48 yield criteria are available in the finite element code, a subroutine is developed for embedding the Yld2003 yield crite...
The deactivation behavior of the TiO2 used as a photo-catalyst for benzene oxidation Üner, Deniz (1999-01-01) In this study, the deactivation behavior of TiO2 as a photocatalyst for benzene decomposition to carbon dioxide and water was investigated. The effect of space time on the benzene and carbon dioxide conversions were monitored. Benzene conversion and carbon dioxide production rates were not correlated, indicating accumulation of a carbon containing intermediate on the surface. This intermediate was blocking the active sites at a stiochiometry of 1 C:1 site. High space times favored the production of carbon d...
Effects of short cracks on fatigue life calculations Kaynak, Cevdet; Baker, T.J. (1996-01-01) In this study, the potential impact of the short crack problem in En7A steel with a high content of elongated MnS inclusions has been observed. Experimental short crack data were compared first with the predicted S-N curves determined using long crack growth parameters and second with the calculated lives using only long crack data and using both short crack and long crack data. All these life predictions revealed that long crack data alone cannot be used in fatigue lifetime analyses that treat short crack ...
