Micromechanical modeling is used to determine the stresses and strains due to both mechanical and thermal loads in [0] and [0/90] titanium matrix composites (TMCs) subjected to processing and thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) loading conditions. The concentric cylinder model, due to its simple geometry as well as its capability to capture the three-dimensional aspects of the stress state in a composite, is used to determine the stresses in a unidirectional composite. A representative volume element of the composite is represented by two concentric cylinders with the core cylinder representing the fiber and the outer ring representing the matrix. The fiber is treated as elastic and the matrix is treated as viscoplastic with temperature dependent mechanical properties. The [0/90]s layup is modeled by modifying the concentric cylinder model and adding a parallel element to the [0] model and invoking strain compatibility and stress equilibrium in the loading direction. The modified concentric cylinder model is incorporated into the PC-compatible code FIDEP for an efficient and expedient analysis. Calculations are made for in-phase and out-of-phase TMF conditions for the unidirectional and crossply SCS-6/TIMETAL 21S composite.

Analysis of the thermoviscoplastic behavior of [0/90] SCS-6/timetal®21S composites
Çöker, Demirkan; Nicholas, Theodore (1996-01-01)
Micromechanical modeling is used to determine the stresses and strains due to both mechanical and thermal loads in [0/90] titanium matrix composites (TMCs) subjected to cooldown from the processing temperature and subsequent thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) loading conditions. The [0/90] composite is treated as a material system composed of three constituents: fiber and matrix in the [0] ply, and a [90] ply. The [0/90]s layup is modeled by a uniaxial stress rule of mixtures model for the [0] ply and adding a ...
Analysis of thermomechanical cyclic behavior of unidirectional metal matrix composites
Çöker, Demirkan; Nicholas, Theodore (1993-01-01)
An analytical tool is developed to determine the three-dimensional stress state in a unidirectional composite subjected to axial loading and changes in temperature. A finite difference method is used to analyze a representative volume element of the composite which consists of concentric cylinders. The constituents are assumed to be elastic-plastic materials having temperature dependent properties. An iterative technique using the Prandtl-Reuss flow rule to determine incremental plastic strains is implement...
On the elastic-plastic deformation of a centrally heated cylinder exhibiting linear hardening
Gulgec, M; Orcan, Y (1999-01-01)
A closed-form solution of the elastic-plastic deformation of a cylinder with uniform temperature inside its cylindrical core and zero surface temperature is presented for a linearly strain hardening material. The analysis is based on Tresca's yield condition and its associated flow rule. The effect of hardening on the expansion of plastic regions and on the distribution of stress is displayed graphically.
Assessment of improved banded model for spectral thermal radiation in presence of non-gray particles in fluidized bed combustors
Yaşar, Mehmet Soner; Ozen, Guzide; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2020-07-01)
In this study, Bordbar's banded model is coupled with a 3-D radiation model based on method of lines (MOL) solution of discrete ordinates method (DOM) for modeling of radiative heat transfer in freeboard of METU 0.3 MWt ABFBC test rig where a typical Turkish lignite is fired with and without fly ash recycling. The accuracy and the computational efficiency of the model were assessed by benchmarking its predictions against banded SLW model. Furthermore, in order to show the effect of gas composition on predic...
Computation of Vortical Flow Fields over a Close-Coupled Delta Canard-Wing Configuration and Adjoint Based Configuration Optimization
Tikenoğulları, Alp; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2-10)
This study aims at investigating the vortical flow field over a close-coupled delta canard-wing configuration to understand the vortex interactions and the mechanism of lift enhancement provided by the canard, especially at high angles of attack, and employing an adjoint-based configuration optimization to achieve further enhancements in aerodynamic forces. An open-source CFD solver, SU2 is employed for both flow field computations and adjoint-based configuration optimizations. First, flow solutions with SU...
