    Investigation of low velocity impact behaviors of honeycomb sandwich composites
    (SpringerLink, 2018-08-09) Topkaya, Tolga; Solmaz, Murat Yavuz
    Honeycomb sandwich composites are used as significant structural members in advanced engineering applications. Thus, it is critical to determine how they behave under impact loading, in addition to other loads. In this study, low velocity impact loading behaviors of honeycomb sandwich composites were experimentally investigated. Almost all of the design parameters of honeycomb sandwich composites were investigated. The results indicated that the core thickness of honeycomb had no effect on the strength of the composite, and the parameter influencing the impact behavior of the specimen the most was the face sheet thickness. When the face sheet thickness of the specimen was increased, the most apparent strength increase was observed in the models using carbon fiber-reinforced composite face sheets. For all face sheet types subject to impact energy of 10 Joules, the upper face sheets of 0.5 mm-thick specimens were perforated

    Progressive failure analysis in adhesively, riveted, and hybrid bonded double-lap joints
    (Taylor & Francis, 2013-11) Topkaya, Tolga; Solmaz, Murat Yavuz
    One of the important processes in structural design is the joining technique. Failure of composite joints involves different failure mechanisms depending upon the joining technique. In this study, a progressive failure analysis was performed on adhesively, riveted, and hybrid bonded double-lap joints. In the joints, a woven-type fiberglass-reinforced composite material was used as the main material; AV 2015 was used as the adhesive, and steel as the rivet material. The analyses were performed using ANSYS 12.1 finite element package software via software written using parametric design language (APDL) codes. At the end of the progressive failure analysis, failure loads and failure modes were determined for 30-, 45-, and 60-mm overlap lengths in accordance with the Maximum Shear Stress Theory and Hashin Criteria. For 45-mm overlap lengths, the joint strength of hybrid joints proved to be 2.72 and 1.145 times higher, respectively, than adhesive and fastening joints. Results showed that the failure load of the joint increased when the overlap length increased. In riveted joints, the failure occurring in the composite plates began around the rivet hole and the catastrophic failure of these types of joints resulted from fiber tensile failure.

    The effect of implant number and position on the stress behavior of mandibular implant retained overdentures: A three-dimensional finite element analysis
    (Elsevier, 2015-07-16) Topkaya, Tolga; Solmaz, Murat Yavuz
    The present study evaluated the effects of ball anchor abutment attached to implants with a 4.30 mm diameter and 11 mm insert length on stress distribution in a patient without any remaining teeth in the lower jaw. In the study, the stress analysis was performed for five different configurations (2 with 4 implant-supported and 3 with 2 implant-supported) and three different loading types using ANSYS Workbench software. The stresses measured in the 4 implant-supported models were lower compared to the stresses measured in the 2 implant-supported models. The stresses on the implants intensified on the cervical region of the implants. When the effects of the loading sites on the stress were examined, the loading on the first molar tooth produced the highest stresses on the implants.
