    Effect of surface geometry on low-velocity impact behavior of laminated aramid-reinforced polyester composite
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2016) GÜLLÜOĞLU, ARİF NİHAT; Ayten, Ali Imran; Ekici, Bulent; Gulluoglu, Arif Nihat
    The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of surface geometry for low-velocity impact applications. To achieve this purpose, aramid fiber-reinforced laminated polyester composite with various geometries such as cylindrical, elliptical, and spherical were prepared, and low-velocity impact properties were investigated numerically and experimentally. All properties such as orientation, fiber volume fraction, matrix material, and average thickness are the same in all samples. Experimental low-velocity impact behaviors of structure were determined by drop weight tester at low velocity 2.012 m/s. Simulations were carried out by LS-Prepost 4.2 and LS-Dyna v971 software. By this way, results of impact tests were verified and modeled with finite element method. Results of the impact tests showed that the elliptical samples have the highest energy absorption capability due to effective stress transfer capacity. According to experimental results, maximum energy absorption rate difference is 17% between elliptical 10mm and cylindrical 5mm geometries.

    A numerical and experimental investigation on quasi-static punch shear test behavior of aramid/epoxy composites
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020) EKİCİ, BÜLENT; Ayten, Ali Imran; Ekici, Bulent; Tasdelen, Mehmet Atilla
    In this study, quasi-static punch shear behavior of aramid epoxy composites was investigated both numerically and experimentally. Firstly, material model parameters used in numerical simulations were obtained by various mechanical tests such as tensile, compression, and in-plane shear tests. Different damage mechanisms that were observed during each test were the focus of interest. Then quasi-static punch shear test was performed and verified with numerical simulations. After the verification of material model, punch tests, which have different boundary conditions, were run numerically, and the effect of thickness and span-to-punch ratio (SPR) were determined for aramid/epoxy composites. It is concluded that failure mechanisms of composite samples were related to SPR. When SPR increases, the failure mode was shifted from shear-dominated failure to bending-dominated failure behavior. Additionally, punch shear strength value at minimum SPR (1.1) was eight times bigger than the value at maximum one (8).
