Publication Metadata only Static, dynamic and fatigue analysis of a semi-automaticgun locking block(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009) EKİCİ, BÜLENT; Ozmen, Dogan; Kurt, Mustafa; Ekici, Bulent; Kaynak, YusufReduction of the recoil forces on shotgun parts and even effects on the human body are a considerable importance during design of the semi-automatic shotgun parts. These forces are strongly affected by the dynamics of motion of rifle parts upon firing. Therefore, managing of these recoil forces would be crucial issue to produce functional, ergonomic, safe, reliable, and robust designs. in the literature, many researchers have investigated static, dynamic, and fatigue behaviors of most mechanical parts which especially take a role under the dynamic loads. However, shotgun parts have not been investigated formally yet. Therefore, in this study we particularly focused on investigating static, dynamic, and fatigue behaviors of a semi-automatic shotgun's locking block, which is an integral part of the shotgun mechanism during firing. In this study, techniques such as hardness measurements, analysis of the recoil forces of a semi-automatic shotgun, and finite element analysis were performed. Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3.0 series software was used to model the locking block and the other parts of the gun. Moreover, the finite element code ANSYS/LS-DYNA, and ANSYS Workbench were used to determine the stress distribution, and fatigue behaviors of the locking block, based on the Morrow Theorem.

The magnesium based material will be formed by applying the orthogonal cutting. The CNC Lathe shall be used for both cutting processes. The experiment used MINITAB 16 software to establish the experiment plan. In this study, workpiece was turned at cutting speeds of 230, 330 and 430 m/min, feed rates of 0.20, 0.35 and 0.50 mm/rev and cutting depth of 1, 2 and 3 mm. Taguchi experimental design method was used for determining the settings of turning parameters. Orthogonal arrays of Taguchi, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were carried out to determine the optimum levels and to analyze the influence of cutting speed, feed rate, cutting depth on surface roughness, temperature and cutting forces during dry and MQL turning.Publication Metadata only Three-dimensional finite element analysis of shaping curved root canals with the ProTaper and HeroShaper systems(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2015) MUTLU MİTİL, BİLÇEN; Mutlu, Bilcen; Kurt, Mustafa; Ekici, Bulent; Atakok, GurcanIn this study, we simulated the shaping of a curved root canal with the ProTaper and HeroShaper file systems using three-dimensional finite element modeling. A total of seven of the Ni-Ti rotary instruments were employed to investigate the influence of cutting geometry. A workflow was developed using the mechanical design and analysis software I-DEAS 11 and the LS-DYNA finite element package. The three-dimensional tooth model was constructed from a micro-computed tomography dental scan and a simulated canal. It was found that stresses concentrated towards the outer aspect of curvature in the apical portion of the canal when the ProTaper file system was employed. For the HeroShaper files, the stresses concentrated in the middle portion of the tooth model. Our simulated root canal procedure enables the efficacy of rotary NiTi instruments to be evaluated in a patient-specific setting. This may aid the dentist in choosing the optimal tool set and provides data for improving tool design.
