Structural Integrity Assessment Procedure (SINTAP) was applied to thin aluminium alloy 6013 T6 base material and friction stir welded (FSW) wide plates containing flaws to predict their residual strength. The weld joints exhibit strength undermatching and, hence, plastic strain localization occurs within the lower strength FSW weld region which requires special considerations when applying the SINTAP-based failure assessment route. Two different (J-integral and CTOD) R-curves were used as material input parameters in the analysis. The SINTAP estimations of the experimental residual strength value for the base material panel were remarkably accurate due to the use of the highest analysis level of the SINTAP procedure. The weld strength mismatch analysis level also successfully provided a conservative estimate of the maximum load level of the FSW panel.

Three-dimensional design and analysis of a compressor rotor blade
Özgür, Cumhur; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005)
Three-dimensional design and three-dimensional CFD analysis of a compressor rotor stage are performed. The design methodology followed is based on a mean line analysis and a radial equilibrium phase. The radial equilibrium is established at a selected number of radii. NACA 65 series airfoils are selected and stacked according to the experimental data available. The CFD methodology applied is based on a three-dimensional, finite difference, compressible flow Euler solver that includes the source terms belong...
Physics Based Formulation of a Cohesive Zone Model for Ductile Fracture
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2015-07-01)
This paper addresses a physics based derivation of mode-I and mode-II traction separation relations in the context of cohesive zone modeling of ductile fracture of metallic materials. The formulation is based on the growth of an array of pores idealized as cylinders which are considered as therepresentative volume elements. An upper bound solution is applied for the deformation of the representative volume element and different traction-separation relations are obtained through different assumptions.
Evaluation of a new turbulence model for boundary layer flows with pressure gradient
Marangoz, Alp; Çıray, Cahit; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, a new turbulence model developed previously for channel and flat plate flows is evaluated for flat plate flows with pressure gradient. For this purpose a flow solver, which uses boundary layer equations as the governing equations and Von Karman momentum integral equation for the calculation of skin friction, is developed. It is shown that the error of the new turbulence model, in predicting the velocity profile, is less than 5 % for the flat plate flows without pressure gradient and less tha...
Hyperbolic heat conduction based weight function method for thermal fracture of functionally graded hollow cylinders
Eshraghi, Iman; Soltani, Nasser; Dağ, Serkan (2018-08-01)
This article introduces a weight function method for fracture analysis of a circumferentially cracked functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to thermal loads. The non-Fourier hyperbolic heat conduction model is used to determine the transient temperature distribution in the functionally graded cylinder. Solutions for transient temperature and stress distributions in the uncracked cylinder are derived by converting the governing differential equations into Fredholm integral equations in the Laplace do...
A layerwise approach to modeling piezolaminated plates
Ertürk, Cevher Levent; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005)
In this thesis, optimal placement of adhesively bonded piezoelectric patches on laminated plates and the determination of geometry of the bonding area to maximize actuation effect are studied. A new finite element model, in which each layer is considered to be a separate plate, is developed. The adhesive layer is modeled as a distributed spring system. In this way, relative transverse normal and shear motion of the layers are allowed. Effect of delamination on the adhesive layer stresses is also studied and...
