Yurdakul, Kıvanç
In this study, the influence of defects that are occurred in manufacturing operations of filament wound composite overwrapped pressure vessels on burst pressure is investigated experimentally. Firstly, material characterization methods such as tensile testing and fiber volume fraction testing of carbon/epoxy composite specimens are completed. Following determining of different layer configurations for small scale composite pressure vessels, manufacturing and burst testing of vessels are accomplished. Effect of composite layer configuration hence stress ratio on burst pressure and failure mode is observed. Then, two types of manufacturing defects are defined as delamination and spaced winding for two different layer configurations. Artificial delaminations are embedded to the samples during manufacturing and cured samples are subjected to hydrostatic burst testing. Likewise, gaps were deliberately left the in layers and the effects of these gaps on burst pressure and fracture mode were observed. Fracture behavior of burst vessels are investigated via high-speed camera images taken during testing. Finally, composite microstructure via optical microscope and fracture surfaces via scanning electron microscope (SEM) are examined. Experimental and visual data obtained by this study is investigated and influence of manufacturing defects in composite overwrapped pressure vessels on burst pressure performance of vessels is evaluated within the design limits of small scale vessel.

This study was conducted to observe the effect of different monomers on tensile and flexural strengths of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base resin when they were used as a liquid component. A conventional heat-cured denture base polymer powder was mixed with ethyl, isobutyl and tert-butyl methacrylate monomers, respectively. After the polymerization process was completed, the tensile and flexural strength values of these specimens were compared with those that of PMMA resin specimens polymerized...
The effect of double austenitization on the microstructure and toughness of AISI M2 high speed steel
Ögel, Bilgehan (1998-06-01)
In this study, the effect of double austenitization on microstructure and toughness of AISI M2 high speed steel was investigated. For double austenitization treatment, the specimens, which are hardened initially at 1220 degrees C and quenched in air, were hardened for a second time in the temperature range 1150 - 1050 degrees C. For comparison purposes, another set of specimens is austenitized singly in the temperature range 1150 - 1050 degrees C. Tempering process was carried out between 500 - 640 degrees ...
The Effect of Surface Treatments on Tensile Bond Strength between a Silicone Soft Liner and a Heat-Cured Denture Base Resin
SOYGUN, KORAY; Bolayir, Giray; DOĞAN, ARİFE; DEMİR, HAKAN; DOĞAN, ORHAN MURAT; Keskin, Selda (2011-01-01)
This study evaluated tensile bond strength of a denture soft lining material to a poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) denture base resin subjected to different surface treatment modalities and thermocycling. The materials tested were a silicone-based liner, Molloplast B (R), and a heat-cured denture base resin, Meliodent (TM). The denture soft lining material was packed against cured PMMA base resin, which was smoothed; sandblasted with 250-mu m Al2O3 particles; or lased with a KTP laser; or against uncured PM...
The effect of magnisium to sulfur ratio on the graphite morphology of graphite cast iron produced at differrent section thicknesses
ELMABROUK, Omar; ERFAN, Osama M.; Kalkanlı, Ali (2011-09-18)
This paper is concerned with the investigation of the effect of magnesium to sulfur ratio on the graphite morphology and estimation of the ranges of this ratio use to produce graphite cast iron at different section sections. The main factors affecting shape of graphite cast iron are the metallurgical structures and the section thicknesses. Cast iron of different shapes of graphite particles directly affect its thermo-mechanical properties. The nodular shape of these graphite particles such as in ductile cas...
The influence of cyclic fatigue damage on the fracture toughness of carbon-carbon composites
Ozturk, A (1996-01-01)
The influence of cyclic loads on the fracture toughness of a tightly woven carbon-carbon composite was investigated as a function of stress levels. Results of fracture toughness tests were correlated with microstructural examination using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Values for the stress intensity factor, K-Ic, were determined using the ASTM single-edge notched bend test. Results were discussed in terms of the effects of applied cyclic stress levels and the relationship of the load-displacement curv...
