The possibility of obtaining fracture resistant optically transparent ceramic matrix optomechanical composites was studied on a continuous Al2O3-ZrO2 minicomposite-reinforced glass matrix model composite. A mesh-like reinforcement structure composed of unidirectional minicomposites was determined to be effective in improving the fracture resistance of the brittle matrix with a small expense in its optical transparency. With decreasing minicomposite to minicomposite spacing, the fracture resistance of the optomechanical composite increases while its light transmittance, vice versa. The present result demonstrates the possibility of fabricating optomechanical composites using minicomposite as reinforcement.

Performance of polylactide biopolymer as matrix material for woven fiber composite laminates Demirok, Gokberk; Kaynak, Cevdet (2022-01-01) The first purpose of this study was, as the first time in the literature, to investigate usability of polylactide (PLA) biopolymer as the matrix of high-performance composite laminated structures having woven forms of glass and carbon fibers. For this purpose, 2-14 layers of 2 × 2 twill Carbon Fiber (CF) and 1 × 1 plain weave Glass Fiber (GF) forms were stacked by PLA powders followed by consolidation of these layers by compression molding technique. After conducting various tests and analysis it was observ...
Improvement of fracture resistance in a glass matrix optomechanical composite by minicomposite unit bridging Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (Elsevier BV, 2005-10-15) Minicomposite unit bridging, which was experimentally determined to be the dominant toughening mechanism resulting in the R-curve behavior of the Al2O3-ZrO2 minicomposite-reinforced glass matrix optomechanical composite, was studied quantitatively using luminescence spectroscopy. Applied stress induced shift of the luminescence bands of the minicomposite reinforcement was calibrated. Using the experimentally obtained calibration curve, axial stresses could be mapped along the minicomposite embedded in the g...
Development of Nanostructured Metallic Glasses with High Toughness Bagheri Behboud, Ali; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-8) Metallic glasses are metallic alloys with disordered atomic structures and desirable mechanical properties such as high hardness, high elastic limits, and wear resistance. These properties make metallic glasses promising materials for wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and biocompatible coating applications. On the other hand, metallic glasses are brittle, which is a major disadvantage for their use in practice. This thesis study aimed to tackle this problem through the development of nanostructured metal...
Mechanical behaviour of Al2O3-ZrO2 minicomposite reinforced glass matrix optomechanical composite Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (Informa UK Limited, 2003-08-01) To understand the effect of a 'mesh-structured reinforcement' on the optical and mechanical properties of optomechanical composites, a unidirectional Al2O3 fibre-ZrO2 matrix minicomposite reinforced glass matrix optomechanical composite has been fabricated. By regular alignment of the minicomposites in the glass matrix as part of the 'mesh structure' a high degree of optical transparency is obtained in the composite; this transparency is proportional to its 'optical window' regions. The mesh structured rein...
Experimental investigation of the effect of CNT addition on the strength of CFRP curved composite beams Arca, M.A.; Uyar, I.; Çöker, Demirkan (2015-01-01) Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been attracting attention as a toughening material in composite matrix due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, superior properties of CNTs have not yet been realized in the strengthening of composites against fracture. This study focuses on investigating the effect of CNT variation in the epoxy resin on the strength of curved composite beams. Specimens are [0/90] fabric carbon/epoxy composite laminates manufactured by hand layup technique 3 % wt CNT fractions in th...
