In this study, experimental and numerical work to investigate the mechanisms occurring at the contact region of the lug-bush members under cyclic loading are presented. Post-mortem macroscopic and microscopic investigations of the mating lug and bush surfaces are conducted using digital microscope and scanning electron microscope. The black-brown residues observed at the mating surfaces are shown to be tribolayer regions using energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. Locations of sliding regions at the contact surfaces are identified by considering the locations of tribolayer regions which indicate the existence of relative sliding. Crack initiation locations are observed to be in the vicinity of the boundary between the sticking and sliding regions. In order to investigate the mechanisms occurring at the contact surfaces during cyclic loading, a 3-dimensional finite element model is created and cyclic loads are applied. It is observed that the steady state response is reached during the 2nd cycle when sliding region areas and relative sliding distances are compared. This result verifies that the application of the cyclic loading is crucial in order to evaluate the behavior using the steady state response. For each material combination, type and sequence of contact mechanisms are observed to be different. A parametric study on the effect of friction coefficient is presented. Increase in the value of friction coefficient leads to decrease in the size of sliding regions. Fatemi-Socie and SmithWatson-Topper multiaxial fatigue damage parameters are applied in order to predict the crack initiation locations. It is shown that these parameters are not able to predict the crack locations of the specimens. In fact, boundaries of the sticking-sliding regions obtained from the simulations are able to predict the crack initiation locations. Good correlation is obtained between the sliding regions observed in the experiments and simulations when the experimental disturbances are taken into consideration in the simulations.

Feasibility study for tunable metamaterial design using multi-split SRR structures and RF MEMS switching Ekmekci, Evren; Topalli, Kagan; Akın, Tayfun; Sayan, Gönül (2009-11-18) In this study, we investigate the effects of etching additional splits in various numbers and positions on the resonance frequency of the SRR type metamaterials. Herein, instead of using externally connected lumped capacitors, we introduced additional capacitances along the outer conducting ring of the SRR at the sites of additional splits. The states of the splits (on/off) may be controlled by RF MEMS switches for adaptive control of the magnetic resonance frequency.
Delamination Analysis of Tapered Composite Laminates using Cohesive Elements Dashatan, Saeid; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Çöker, Demirkan; Poorzeinolabedin, Mohsen (null; 2018-12-01) In this study, the initiation and propagation of delamination in tapered composite laminates are investigated using a finite element modelling with cohesive zone. The structural model with several drop-offs is assumed to be under tension. For this purpose, UD plies of 0-degree orientations are used for each sub-laminate. For a single step drop off, the results show that the delamination failure starts at the interface between ply drop-off and resin pocket. The next delamination generally starts either from ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF DOVETAIL ATTACHMENTS Akay, Ahmet Arda; Çöker, Demirkan; Kayran, Altan; Gürses, Ercan (2017-11-09) In this study, the contact stresses in the dovetail-rim region of an aero-engine compressor disc under the action of the centrifugal forces of the blades are investigated. Dovetail-rim consists of two parts: the blade and the disc. Highly stressed areas occur at the edges of the interface of the disc and the blade during the operation. Fretting fatigue is commonly seen in dovetails, which is caused by high stress gradients. An experimental setup which is capable of performing tension test on a dovetail rim ...
Analytical and Experimental Investigations of a New Hysteretic Damper Dicleli, Murat (2012-09-24) In this paper, analytical and experimental studies into the behavior of a new hysteretic damper, designed for seismic protection of structures is presented. The Multidirectional Torsional Hysteretic Damper (MTHD) is a recently-patented invention in which a symmetrical arrangement of identical cylindrical steel cores is so configured as to yield in torsion while the structure experiences planar movements due to earthquake shakings. The new device has certain desirable properties. Notably, it is characterize...
Experimental and numerical parametric analysis of a reoriented duct flow Başkan Perçin, Özge; Metcalfe, Guy; Clercx, Herman J. H. (Elsevier BV, 2016-05-01) This study concerns a coupled experimental-numerical analysis of scalar transport in reoriented duct flows found in industrial mixing processes. To this end the study adopts the Rotated Arc Mixer (RAM) as the representative configuration. The focus is on the effects of geometrical (i.e. reorientation angle Theta) and temporal (i.e. reorientation frequency tau) parameters of generic inline mixing devices on the Lagrangian particle dynamics and scalar field evolution. Lagrangian dynamics are investigated by c...
