In this paper, experimental work to investigate the failure sequence in cross-ply CFRP beams under quasi-static and low-velocity impact (LVI) loadings is presented. [0(5)/90(3)](s) CFRP beams with thick clustered plies are investigated for clear observation of damage mechanisms. A non-standard LVI test setup is designed and built in order to conduct line impact experiments and to allow in-situ observation of damage evolution using a high-speed camera. Full-field strain measurement on the visible edge prior to initial failure is performed with digital image correlation (DIC) analysis. In both static and dynamic loading cases, failure sequence is demonstrated to initiate in the middle 90 degrees plies as a diagonal matrix crack leading to delaminations at the upper and lower 0/90 interfaces. Major diagonal matrix crack formation is shown to occur consistently at a local transverse shear strain peak in conjunction with a tensile transverse normal strain. Two additional distinct types of matrix damage, namely hairline cracks and micro-matrix cracks, are discovered in post-mortem examination. Delamination propagation in a composite beam subjected to line loading is monitored using high-speed photography at half-a-million frames-per-second for the first time. It is observed that, in both static and impact cases, delaminations are not only dynamic, but they also reach the same speed plateau of 850 - 900 m/s. We suggest that the experimental crack tip speed data can be used as a benchmark to fine-tune interlaminar damage models. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Simulation of Impact Induced Damage Process in a Carbon/Epoxy Composite Beam Bozkurt, Mirac Onur; Çöker, Demirkan; Parnas, Kemal Levend (2018-12-01) This paper presents numerical investigation of low-velocity impact (LVI) damage process in a unidirectional [0/90]s carbon/epoxy composite beam. Numerical simulations based on finite element method are conducted in ABAQUS/Explicit. A 3D model representing LVI experiments is generated. Matrix and fiber damage mechanisms are simulated by implementation of continuum damage mechanics based composite damage model with Hashin failure initiation criteria via a user-written VUMAT subroutine. Cohesive interfaces are...
Investigation of the Applicability of AASHTO LRFD Live Load Distribution equations for Integral Bridge Substructures Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2009-08-01) In this study, applicability of the AASHTO LRFD girder live load distribution equations (LLDEs) for integral bridge (IB) abutments and piles is investigated. For this Purpose, numerous 3-D and corresponding 2-D structural models of typical IBs are built and analyzed under AASHTO LRFD live load. In the analyses, the effect of various superstructure properties such as span length, slab thickness, girder spacing and stiffness are considered. The results from the 2-D and 3-D analyses are then used to calculate ...
Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25) This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
The Thermal Characterization of Crude Oils in a Limestone Matrix of Different Particle Size Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2014-05-03) In the first part of this research, the effect of particle size (35-100 mesh) on the calcination kinetics of a limestone sample was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis technique. Thermal studies showed that two main weight loss regions are observed in limestone samples of different particle size. In the second part of the research, thermal analysis of a medium crude oil sample in a limestone matrix of different particle size is analyzed. Two different reaction regions were observed known as low tempe...
An Experimental study on boundary layer separation control over s809 airfoil using synthetic jet actuators Gül, Melika; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) This thesis presents the results of an experimental study that investigates the effect of periodic excitation from individually controlled synthetic jet actuators on the separated shear layer and wake of a model wing that has S809 airfoil profile. The synthetic jet array consists of three individually controlled synthetic jet actuators driven by piezoelectric diaphragms located at 28% chord location near the middle of the span of the blade. In the first part of the study, hot wire and surface pressure measu...
