    Environmental effect on fatigue life of glass–epoxy composite pipes subjected to impact loading
    (Elsevier, 2013-01) Deniz, Mehmet Emin; Karakuzu, Ramazan; Özen, Mustafa; Özdemir, Okan; İçten, Bülent Murat
    The main objective of this experimental study was to investigate the effects of seawater and impact loading on the fatigue life of glass–epoxy composite pipes under cyclic internal pressure. The pipes were produced by filament winding technique. Composite specimens were immersed in seawater for periods of 3, 6, and 9 months. After the impact tests are carried out at three different energy levels (5, 7.5, and 10 J), fatigue tests were conducted on the specimens. It is seen from results that fatigue life changes according to both impact energy and seawater immersion time. Fatigue life of non-impacted specimen is greater than the impacted one. Fatigue life increases in the impacted specimens up to 3 months and reaches generally maximum value. After that it decreases with increase in seawater immersion time. During the fatigue tests, fatigue damage types named perspiration, leakage, and eruption were observed.

    Impactor diameter effect on low velocity impact response of woven glass epoxy composite plates
    (Elsevier, 2013-07) Deniz, Mehmet Emin; İçten, Bülent Murat; Gören Kıral, Binnur
    In this study, the effect of impactor diameter on the impact response of woven glass–epoxy laminates has been investigated. Impact tests were performed by using Fractovis Plus test machine with four different impactor nose diameters as 12.7, 20.0, 25.4 and 31.8 mm. Specimens were impacted at various impact energies ranging from 5 J to perforation thresholds of the composite at room temperature. Variation of the impact characteristics such as the maximum contact load, maximum deflection, maximum contact time and absorbed energy versus impact energy are investigated. Results indicated that the projectile diameter highly affects the impact and Compression After Impact (CAI) response of composite materials.
