PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SIMPLE, FACE-CENTERED AND DIAMOND CUBIC LATTICES BY FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING USING POLYLACTIC ACID

DÖNMEZ, Arif
This thesis focuses on the characterization of simple, face-centered and diamond cubic lattices produced by fused deposition modeling (FDM) using polylactic acid (PLA) under uniaxial compression loading condition. Four design parameters were set for each cubic lattice: with radius, without radius, hollow truss, and hollow and with radius. Test items were manufactured for all designed structures. Since changing the manufacturing direction changes the mechanical properties of cubic lattices, the tests were done both through the manufacturing and non-manufacturing directions of the cubic lattices. Based on the data obtained from tests, stress strain diagrams were prepared for each parameter and the manufacturing direction. Nonlinear material and nonlinear geometrical finite element analysis were performed and stress strain diagrams were created based on the results of the finite element analysis. Also, strength and weight reduction calculations were done to determine the ultimate tensile strength point for each lattice type. As those calculations show, manufacturing direction of cubic lattices has a strong effect on mechanical properties of simple, face-centered and diamond cubic lattices under uniaxial compression loading condition.

Synthesis and separation properties of B-ZSM-5 zeolite membranes on monolith supports
Kalıpçılar, Halil; Noble, RD; Falconer, JL (2002-12-01)
Alumina-coated, silicon carbide monoliths were used as supports for B-ZSM-5 zeolite membranes, which were synthesized by in situ hydrothermal crystallization. Both 2 turn x 2 mm (66 channels) and 4 mm x 4 mm (22 channels) monoliths with effective membrane area/volume ratios of 10.6 and 7.2 cm(2)/cm(3), respectively, were used. The membranes separated C-4 and C-6 hydrocarbon isomer vapor mixtures with high selectivities. The selectivities and permeances were comparable to tubular ZSM-5 membranes for butane i...

The aim of this study is to make a comparative assessment of the compression and tensile behavior of two strut -based (body-centered cubic, BCC, and face-centered cubic, FCC) and three triply periodic minimum surfaces (gyroid, primitive, diamond) lattice structures produced by electron beam melting method from Ti6Al4V powder material. Compression and tension tests were performed and compared with finite element analysis results. Moreover, scanning electron microscope analysis for dimensional variation and o...
Characterization of Metamaterials using a New Design and Measurement Technique for Microstrip Circuit Applications
Nesimoglu, Tayfun; Sabah, Cumali (2014-12-14)
Characterization of a metamaterial based on an S-Shaped resonator and a feeding transmission line using a new measurement technique is studied in this paper. First, the metamaterial is designed and simulated using conventional methods. Then, it is fabricated on microstrip and excited by using a microstrip transmission feedline. Measurements were carried out using a vector network analyzer by (SubMiniature version A) SMA coaxial terminations without needing any waveguide transmission lines. For both simulate...
Mechanical properties of nylon parts produced by fused deposition modeling
Hasçelik, Sabit; Öztürk, Ömer T.; Özerinç, Sezer (2021-01-01)
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a widely used additive manufacturing technique for producing polymeric parts. While most commonly used FDM filaments are PLA and ABS, nylon is a widely used thermoplastic polymer in industry. This study investigated the mechanical properties of FDM-produced specimens made of nylon and quantified the effect of process parameters such as raster orientation and nozzle temperature on the mechanical properties. As the nozzle temperature increases, specimens become stronger with...

ESEN, ZİYA; Bor, Sakir (2011-03-25)
Ti-6Al-4V foams, biomedical candidate materials, were synthesized by powder metallurgical space holder technique as a result of evaporation of magnesium to achieve desired porosity content. Final products contained porosities in the range similar to 43-64% with an average macropore size between 485 and 572 mu m and a lamellar type Widmanstatten microstructure composed of alpha-platelets and beta-laths. Unlike the case of bulk Ti-6Al-4V alloy tested under compression loading, compression stress-strain curves...
