Analyses of Plate Perforation for Various Penetrator-Target Plate Combinations
(Korean Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2022) Akyurek, Turgut
In this study, kinetics and kinematics of perforation process for various penetrator-target plate combinations is analyzed, a methodology in a flow chart format to decide on failure mode, and for each failure mode, an appropriate combined analytical model that requires only common test data is proposed. The proposed methodology and analytical models that are recommended for the related failure mode are assessed by using a huge amount of test data from the literature. The penetrator-target plate configurations cover the penetrators with ogive, conical, hemi-spherical and blunt noses, at different plate thicknesses, and plate thickness to penetrator diameter ratios, made of different metallic materials. Analyzed failure modes include ductile hole enlargement, plugging, dishing, and petal forming. Assessment is done for impact velocities ranging between 215-863 m/s. The estimations based on the proposed flow chart and recommended failure models are in good agreement with the related test data and numerical analysis results.

Combined Use of Ultrasonic-Assisted Drilling and Minimum Quantity Lubrication for Drilling of Niti Shape Memory Alloy
(Taylor & Francis inc, 2023) Namlu, Ramazan Hakki; Lotfi, Bahram; Kilic, S. Engin; Yilmaz, Okan Deniz; Akar, Samet
The drilling of shape-memory alloys based on nickel-titanium (Nitinol) is challenging due to their unique properties, such as high strength, high hardness and strong work hardening, which results in excessive tool wear and damage to the material. In this study, an attempt has been made to characterize the drillability of Nitinol by investigating the process/cooling interaction. Four different combinations of process/cooling have been studied as conventional drilling with flood cooling (CD-Wet) and with minimum quantity lubrication (CD-MQL), ultrasonic-assisted drilling with flood cooling (UAD-Wet) and with MQL (UAD-MQL). The drill bit wear, drilling forces, chip morphology and drilled hole quality are used as the performance measures. The results show that UAD conditions result in lower feed forces than CD conditions, with a 31.2% reduction in wet and a 15.3% reduction in MQL on average. The lowest feed forces are observed in UAD-Wet conditions due to better coolant penetration in the cutting zone. The UAD-Wet yielded the lowest tool wear, while CD-MQL exhibited the most severe. UAD demonstrated a & SIM;50% lower tool wear in the wet condition than CD and a 38.7% in the MQL condition. UAD is shown to outperform the CD process in terms of drilled-hole accuracy.

A Comparative Study of Multiple Regression and Machine Learning Techniques for Prediction of Nanofluid Heat Transfer
(Asme, 2022) Ayli, Ece; Turkoglu, Hasmet; Kocak, Eyup
The aim of this article is to introduce and discuss prediction power of the multiple regression technique, artificial neural network (ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) methods for predicting the forced convection heat transfer characteristics of a turbulent nanofluid flow in a pipe. Water and Al2O3 mixture is used as the nanofluid. Utilizing fluent software, numerical computations were performed with volume fraction ranging between 0.3% and 5%, particle diameter ranging between 20 and 140 nm, and Reynolds number ranging between 7000 and 21,000. Based on the computationally obtained results, a correlation is developed for the Nusselt number using the multiple regression method. Also, based on the computational fluid dynamics results, different ANN architectures with different number of neurons in the hidden layers and several training algorithms (Levenberg-Marquardt, Bayesian regularization, scaled conjugate gradient) are tested to find the best ANN architecture. In addition, ANFIS is also used to predict the Nusselt number. In the ANFIS, number of clusters, exponential factor, and membership function (MF) type are optimized. The results obtained from multiple regression correlation, ANN, and ANFIS were compared. According to the obtained results, ANFIS is a powerful tool with a R-2 of 0.9987 for predictions.

Development and Experimental Investigation of Electrochemical Drilling Method Using Rotary Tube Tool
(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2013) Ozerkan, H. Bekir; Çoğun, Can; Cogun, Can; Mekatronik Mühendisliği
In this study, a new hybrid electrochemical drilling (ECD) method, based on electrochemical machining in nonconventional machining processes, was developed. In the developed method, tube tool makes rotary motion together with inner through hole flushing. A small scale prototype ECD machine has been designed and manufactured to test the developed method. One of the important features of the new system is the regulation of tool feed rate using current feedback control. The Hadfield (manganese) steel, whose strain hardening behavior makes it very difficult to machine with conventional methods, and AISI 1040 steel, whose machinability is fairly good, were drilled using the prototype machine and results were compared. Workpiece material removal rate increased with the increasing machining voltage, tool rotational speed, electrolyte concentration and flushing pressure in both types of steels. Average radial overcut values increased with the rotational speed of the tool. The AISI 1040 steel hole geometries were regular than that of Hadfield steel. Experimental results showed that deep holes can be drilled successfully with the proposed hybrid ECD method.

Dynamic Analysis and Design Optimisation of a Heavy Military Vehicle
(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2021) Acar, Bulent; Ider, S. Kemal; Cicek, Burak Can
This paper investigates the dynamic response of a heavy military vehicle which is subjected to a dynamic firing load while it is settled on its outriggers. Dynamic behaviour of a settled heavy military vehicle under a dynamic firing load is one of the major design factors of a launching vehicle. Two different finite element (FE) models are created in ANSYS software to obtain the dynamic behaviour of the launching vehicle. The first model is a detailed finite element model (DFEM) and the second model is a simple and less degree of freedom (DOF) parametric FE model which is created with the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) in order to perform the design optimisation by swiftly varying the parameters such as clamp attachment positions on the chassis, outrigger deployment and outrigger case cross section.

Effects of Electrolytic Copper and Copper Alloy Electrodes on Machining Performance in Electrical Discharge Machining (Edm)
(Taylor & Francis inc, 2022) Esen, Ziya; Simsek, Ulke; Cogun, Can
The most important cost element of electric discharge machining (EDM) is the production of tool electrode (shortly electrode). In the EDM process, copper and its alloys are often used as electrode materials. The machining with EDM without increasing the costs can be achieved by selecting the proper electrode with low production and material costs as well as high workpiece material removal rate (MRR), low electrode wear rate (EWR), and relative wear (RW = MRR/EWR). In this study, the EDM performance outputs, namely, MRR and RW were experimentally investigated for electrolytic copper, CuCr1Zr (with and without aging treatment) and CuCo2Be alloy electrode materials for varying machining parameters. The performance outputs were affected by the electrode material and the applied aging treatment. The aged CuCr1Zr alloy electrodes had higher electrical conductivity and better machining performance than the as-received alloy. The CuCo2Be alloy electrodes exhibited moderate to high MRR; however, their RW was the highest. Although the electrolytic copper has moderate MRR performance compared to the investigated alloys, its low cost increased its performance index, making it a more suitable electrode material for EDM applications.

Enhanced Gradient Crystal-Plasticity Study of Size Effects in a Β-Titanium Alloy
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2017) Nowag, Kai; Roy, Anish; Ghisleni, Rudy; Michler, Johann; Silberschmidt, Vadim V.; Demiral, Murat
A calibrated model of enhanced strain-gradient crystal plasticity is proposed, which is shown to characterize adequate deformation behaviour of bcc single crystals of a beta-Ti alloy (Ti-15-3-3-3). In this model, in addition to strain gradients evolving in the course of deformation, incipient strain gradients, related to a component's surface-to-volume ratio, is accounted for. Predictive capabilities of the model in characterizing a size effect in an initial yield and a work-hardening rate in small-scale components is demonstrated. The characteristic length-scale, i.e. the component's dimensions below which the size effect is observed, was found to depend on densities of polar and statistical dislocations and interaction between them.
EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF FLOW OVER A PICKUP TRUCK
(2021) İnce, İbrahim Timuçin; Mercan, Hatice; Onur, Nevzat
The drag forces and the overall drag coefficient of a typical pickup truck are investigated experimentally and the 3D numerical analysis is performed. A detailed 1/4-scale model is constructed and experiments are performed at Reynolds numbers around 2 × 106in the Ankara Wind Tunnel (ART). The experimental study is divided into two stages: in the first stage the pressure distribution along the symmetry axis is measured and in the second stage the drag forces and overall drag coefficient are measured at five different wind speeds. The measured data are compared with the 3D numerical simulation performed in FLUENT. The turbulence standard, realizable, and RNG k-∈ models, the standard and SST k-ω models, and finally the RSM are compared for three near-wall treatments: standard wall function, nonequilibrium wall function, and enhanced wall function. The comparison revealed that for lower velocities the best turbulence model-wall treatment couple is the realizable k-∈ model with Reynolds stress model with standard wall function, whereas for higher velocities the standard k-∈ turbulence model is observed to be more compatible with experimental data. The highest pressure value is measured in front of the pickup truck and the lowest pressure value is evaluated at the rim where the windshield and the roof meet. © 2021 Begell House Inc..

Fast Fluorometric Enumeration of E. Coli Using Passive Chip
(Elsevier, 2019) Cogun, Ferah; Yildirim, Ender; Boyaci, Ismail Haklu; Cetin, Demet; Ertas, Nusret; Kasap, Esin Nagihan; Dogan, Uzeyir
In this report, a passive microfluidic chip design was developed for fast and sensitive fluorometric determination of Escherichia coli (E. coli) based on sandwich immunoassay. Initially, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and chitosan modified mercaptopropionic acid capped cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) were functionalized with E.coli specific antibody to form a sandwich immunoassay with the E. coli. The magnetic separation and preconcentration of the E.coli from the sample solution was performed in the vial. Conjugation of QDs to the magnetically captured E. coli and washing were performed using a passive type of microchip. The microfluidic chip consists of four microchambers connected to each other by microchannels which act as capillary valves. Signal measurement was performed at the last chamber by using a hand-held spectrofluorometer equipped with a fiber optic reflection probe. The selectivity of the method was tested with Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes) and Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis), it was observed that these bacteria have no interference effect on E.coli determination. The calibration curve was found to be linear in the range of 10(1)-10(5) cfu/mL with a correlation coefficient higher than 0.99. The limit of detection was calculated as 5 cfu/mL. The method was successfully applied to spiked tap and lake water samples. The results suggest that the developed method is applicable for on-site E. coli detection and offers several advantages such as large dynamic range, high sensitivity, high selectivity and short analysis time.

Hybrid Force and Motion Control of Flexible Joint Parallel Manipulators Using Inverse Dynamics Approach
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Ider, S. Kemal; Korkmaz, Ozan
An inverse dynamics control algorithm is developed for hybrid motion and contact force trajectory tracking control of flexible joint parallel manipulators. First, an open-tree structure is considered by the disconnection of adequate number of unactuated joints. The loop closure constraint equations are then included. Elimination of the joint reaction forces and the other intermediate variables yield a fourth-order relation between the actuator torques and the end-effector position and contact force variables, showing that the control torques do not have an instantaneous effect on the end-effector contact forces and accelerations because of the flexibility. The proposed control law provides simultaneous and asymptotically stable control of the end-effector contact forces and the motion along the constraint surfaces by utilizing the feedback of positions and velocities of the actuated joints and rotors. A two degree of freedom planar parallel manipulator is considered as an example to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

Improvement of Electric Discharge Machining (Edm) Performance of Ti-6al Alloy With Added Graphite Powder To Dielectric
(Assoc Mechanical Engineers Technicians Slovenia, 2015) Cogun, Can; Unses, Emre
Ti-6Al-4V is a well-known Ti alloy widely used in the aerospace industry and belongs to the group of difficult-to-machine materials. It is less suitable for both conventional chip removal (machining) techniques and electric discharge machining (EDM). The very low material removal rate (MRR) of the Ti alloys during the EDM process causes prohibitively long machining durations. The goal of this study was to improve the EDM performance of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy by the addition of graphite powder into the kerosene dielectric liquid. The EDM performance was quantified by MRR, tool electrode wear rate (EWR), relative wear (RW), surface roughness and texture properties. The experiments conducted have shown that the use of graphite powder mixed with the kerosene dielectric (GPMKD) during machining considerably increases the MRR, improves the R-a and R-z(DIN) surface roughness and decreases the RW. 3D topographic views of the machined workpiece surfaces attained with GPMKD revealed uniformly distributed surface valleys and peaks over the surface and peaks with short arid round tops since the discharge energy of a spark is distributed over a large area at the machining gap. The experimental results strongly indicate the adaptability of the proposed technique to EDM die sinking and EDM drilling applications of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the aerospace industry. The ED machining performance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy using GPMKD is also compared to that of AISI 1040 steel, which is commonly used in EDM applications.
Kinematic Analyses of Metallic Plate Perforation by Penetrators With Various Nose Geometries
(defence Scientific information Documentation Centre, 2022) Akyurek, T.
This study analyses kinematics of a metallic plate perforation by a penetrator with truncated ogive nose geometry to find solutions also to blunt, conical, ogive, and hemi-spherical nosed penetrators. Plugging, ductile hole enlargement, dishing, and petal forming failure modes are used in the analyses. Acceleration throughout perforation is calculated by using the related failure mode, analytical model, and the target-penetrator interaction geometry. Depending on the failure model; back lip and front lip formation during ductile hole enlargement, plug formation during plugging, and deflection of target plate during dishing is also analysed. Analyses are based on projectile???s equation of motion, momentum and energy equations, and projectile-target plate interactions. The analyses results for selected cases, with the impact velocity range 215-863 m/s, are compared with the test data. The residual velocity estimation for a strike velocity is close to the related test data with an error of 0.3-2.2 %, except for conical nosed penetrators at impact velocities approaching the ballistic limit velocity.

Micro-Wedm of Ni55.8ti Shape Memory Superalloy: Experimental Investigation and Optimisation
(Inderscience Publishers, 2021) Akar, S.; Seyedzavvar, M.; Kiliç, S.E.; Meshri, H.A.M.
Nickel-titanium superalloy has gained significant acceptance for engineering applications as orthotropic implants, orthodontic devices, automatic actuators, etc. Considering the unique properties of these alloys, such as high hardness, toughness, strain hardening, and development of straininduced martensite, micro-wire electro-discharge machining (μ-WEDM) process has been accepted as one of the main options for cutting intricate shapes of these alloys in micro-scale. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study to address the material removal rate (MRR) and surface integrity of Ni55.8Ti shape memory superalloy (SMA) in the μ-WEDM process. The effects of discharge current, pulse on-time, pulse off-time, and servo voltage on the performance of this process, including MRR, white layer thickness, surface roughness, and micro-hardness of the machined surface, were investigated by multi-regression analysis using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimisation of input parameters based on the gradient and the swarm optimisation algorithms were also conducted to maximise the MRR and minimise the white layer thickness, surface roughness, and micro-hardness of the machined samples. © 2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd..

A New Algorithm for U-Shaped Two-Sided Assembly Line Balancing
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2010) Agpak, Kursad; Yavuz, Mustafa; Yegul, Mustafa Fatih
This study introduces a new hybrid design for a specific case-of assembly lines, and proposes a multi-pass random assignment algorithm to find the minimum number of stations required. The algorithm also finds the sequence and the schedule of the tasks assigned. The new design is a combination of two-sided lines and U-shaped lines, which benefits from the advantages of both designs at the same time. One side of the line is arranged in U-shape allowing stations with crossovers, and the other side of the line is balanced like a traditional straight flow. Depending on product direction, either Left or Right side of the line can be designed in U-shape. Small and large-sized two-sided assembly line test-bed problems were solved using the algorithm. Optimal results are achieved for all small-sized problems. Due to the novelty Of the design, results of large-sized problems are compared to findings of studies on simple two-sided balancing. Algorithm produced better results in most of the cases.

Numerical Analysis of a Commercial Display Cabinet With Air Curtain
(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2011) Caliskan, Sinan; Altunok, Taner; Altunok, Taner; Baskaya, Senol; Gungunes, H. Murat; Makine Mühendisliği
Maintaining food temperatures below critical values is the important maximising the high quality display life of chilled foods. Air curtains are especially used in stores and retailer supermarkets as barrier systems to seperate inner and outer spaces from each other. For both air quality and energy saving, it is crucial that the air transfer between these two spaces are at minimum. Minimization of air transfer between inner and outer spaces, not only decreases heat transfer but also stabilizes the humidity balance. In this study, numerical analysis of a commercial display cabinet has been carried out. For this purpose PHOENICS, a computational fluid dynamics code, is utilized. Optimum jet system conditions for each of the one jet, two jet and there jet systems has been modified according to temperature change of the air, and comparisons among them have been made. The results indicate that, the results the both CFD analysis and experimental results are almost equal and refrigeration systems with three jets is required to obtain the necessary temperature values to keep products fresh in display cabinets, especially because they can distribute temperature in a homogeneous way, meaning that the temperature value is the best ideal system at every point in the cabinet with three jets.

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Investigation: Metal Spinning Process of Stepped Thin-Walled Cylindrical Workpiece
(Murat Yakar, 2022) Seyedzavvar, M.; Akar, S.; Abbasi, H.
Many equipment and devices utilized in the aerospace industry are formed as symmetric parts through high plastic deformation of high strength sheet metal alloys with low thickness. Considering the inherent advantages of the spinning process of simple tooling and concentrated deformation loading, this process can be considered as one of the main options in producing these thin-sectioned lightweight parts. In this study, a Finite Element (FE) model has been developed to simulate the formation of a stepped thin-walled cylindrical workpiece of AISI 316 stainless steel alloy by spinning process. The FE simulation results were employed to investigate the effects of process parameters, including feed rate of the roller and rotational velocity of the mandrel on the distribution of stress and strain in the sheet metal, wrinkling failure, and thinning of the sheet metal during deformation. Experiments were carried out using selective input parameters based on the results of FE simulations. The comparison between FE simulations and experiments revealed that the developed model could predict the thinning of the sheet metals with over 93 % accuracy. Additionally, a good agreement between the experimentally deformed sheet configurations with those resulting from finite element simulations has been observed. © Author(s) 2022.

Numerical Study on Effects of Computational Domain Length on Flow Field in Standing Wave Thermoacoustic Couple
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Turkoglu, Hasmet; Mergen, Suhan; Yildirim, Ender
For the analysis of thermoacoustic (TA) devices, computational methods are commonly used. In the computational studies found in the literature, the flow domain has been modelled differently by different researchers. A common approach in modelling the flow domain is to truncate the computational domain around the stack, instead of modelling the whole resonator to save computational time. However, where to truncate the domain is not clear. In this study, we have investigated how the simulation results are affected by the computational domain length (I-d) when the truncated domain approach is used. For this purpose, a standing wave TA couple which undergoes a refrigeration cycle was considered. The stack plate thickness was assumed to be zero and the simulations were performed for six different dimensionless domain length (I-d/lambda) varying between 0.029 and 0.180. Frequency and Mach number were taken as 100 Hz and 0.01, respectively, and kept constant for all the cases considered. The mean pressure and the pressure amplitude were taken as 10 kPa and 170 Pa, respectively (Drive ratio of 1.7%). Helium was considered as the working fluid. To assess the accuracy of the simulation results, the pressure distributions across the domain were compared with that of the standing wave. In addition to the pressure variation, the effects of the domain length on the phase delay of the pressure and velocity waves along the stack plate were also investigated. The results showed that with the increasing I-d/lambda. ratio, the simulated pressure distribution compares better with the standing wave pressure distribution. With the lowest I-d/lambda ratio (0.029) considered, the difference between the amplitudes of the computed pressure distribution and theoretical standing wave pressure distribution was approximately 50 Pa. However, as I-d/lambda value increases, the simulation results approach to the theoretical standing wave pressure distribution better. The computational results obtained with Id/lambda = 0.132 and 0.180, were almost identical with standing wave acoustic field. Hence, it was concluded that the domain length has a significant effect on the accuracy of the computational results when the truncated domain approach is used. It was also observed that for a given TA device and operating parameters, there is a minimum I-d/lambda value for obtaining reliable results.
