    Mode-I fracture toughness of carbon fiber/epoxy composites interleaved by aramid nonwoven veils
    (Techno-press, 2019) Beylergil, Bertan; Tanoglu, Metin; Aktas, Engin; Tanoğlu, Metin
    In this study, carbon fiber/epoxy (CF/EP) composites were interleaved with aramid nonwoven veils with an areal weight density of 8.5 g/m(2) to improve their Mode-I fracture toughness. The control and aramid interleaved CF/EP composite laminates were manufactured by VARTM in a [0]4 configuration. Tensile, three-point bending, compression, interlaminar shear, Charpy impact and Mode-I (DCB) fracture toughness values were determined to evaluate the effects of aramid nonwoven fabrics on the mechanical performance of the CF/EP composites. Thermomechanical behavior of the specimens was investigated by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The results showed that the propagation Mode-I fracture toughness values of CF/EP composites can be significantly improved (by about 72%) using aramid nonwoven fabrics. It was found that the main extrinsic toughening mechanism is aramid microfiber bridging acting behind the crack-tip. The incorporation of these nonwovens also increased interlaminar shear and Charpy impact strength by 10 and 16.5%, respectively. Moreover, it was revealed that the damping ability of the composites increased with the incorporation of aramid nonwoven fabrics in the interlaminar region of composites. On the other hand, they caused a reduction in in-plane mechanical properties due to the reduced carbon fiber volume fraction, increased thickness and void formation in the composites.

    Effects of hybrid yarn preparation technique and fiber sizing on the mechanical properties of continuous glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Merter, N. Emrah; Baser, Gulnur; Tanoglu, Metin; Tanoğlu, Metin
    In this study, hybrid yarns were developed by commingling the continuous polypropylene and glass fibers using air jet and direct twist preparation techniques. The non-crimp fabrics were obtained with +/- 45 degrees fiber orientation from these hybrid yarns. The fabrics were prepared with fiber sizings that are compatible and incompatible with polypropylene matrix to investigate the effect of interfacial adhesion on the properties of the thermoplastic composites. Composite panels were produced from the developed fabrics by hot press compression method and microstructural and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. It was found that type of the hybrid yarn preparation technique and glass fiber sizing applied on the glass fibers have some important role on the properties of the composites. Composites made of fabrics produced by air jet hybrid yarn preparation technique exhibited better results than those produced by direct twist covering (single or double) hybrid yarn preparation techniques. The highest flexural properties (99.1MPa flexural strength and 9.55 GPa flexural modulus) were obtained from the composites manufactured from fabric containing compatible sizing, due to better adhesion at the interface of glass fibers and polypropylene matrix. The composite fabricated from fabric with polypropylene compatible sizing also exhibited the highest peel resistance (interlaminar peel strength value of 5.87N/mm). On the other hand, it was found that hybrid yarn preparation technique and type of the glass fiber sizing have insignificant effect on the impact properties of the glass fiber/polypropylene composites.

    Improving mechanical properties of adhesive joints in carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites by incorporation of graphene added electrospun polymeric nanofibers
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023-07) Yeke, Melisa; Tanoğlu, Metin; Tanoğlu, Metin
    Since composites joined with mechanical fasteners cause severe delamination damage, stress concentration in the joint area, and weight increase, joining composite materials with innovative methods have recently gained more importance. These joining methods prevent delamination damage, provide a uniform distribution of stress, and do not cause considerable weight increases. However, modifying the surface of composite parts joined by innovative methods is critical. In this study, the bonding surface was modified by coating carbon/epoxy prepregs with electrospun nanofibers with 10% wt/v ratio of PA 66 and 1%, 2% and 3% wt/v ratio of rGO added. Composite parts were joined in the hot press by the secondary bonding method using 3 plies of FM 300K film adhesive. The morphological structure of nanofibers and the dispersion of rGO were analyzed by SEM. The thermal properties of nanofibers were analyzed by DSC. The contact angle measurement device was used to determine the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the unmodified prepreg and nanofiber-modified prepreg surface. The most hydrophilic surface was observed on the nanofiber-coated surface with 2% rGO added. Single Lap Joints (SLJ), and Charpy Impact tests were performed to examine the mechanical properties of modified and unmodified composite plates. According to the SLJ and Charpy Impact results, an improvement of 17.89% and 30.59% was observed in carbon/epoxy composite plates whose surface was modified with 2% rGO, respectively.

    Investigation of mechanical properties and fatigue performance of carbon-glass fiber reinforced epxy hybrid composites
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019-12) Sandallı, Hatice; Tanoğlu, Metin; Tanoğlu, Metin
    Recently, hybrid composites have known as high performance engineering materials and they have been used broadly in engineering applications where high strength to weight ratio, reasonable cost and ease of fabrication are requested. Since these composites offer combination of benefits of different kinds of fibers, their usage is increasing day after day. The objective of this thesis is to examine the mechanical properties of carbonglass fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites in two different configurations. Also, the fatigue performance under bending tests of these composites were investigated. The hybrid composites were manufactured by using vacuum infusion technique at ambient temperature. To examine the mechanical properties of manufactured composites, a series of mechanical tests such as compression, tensile and three-point bending tests were performed on the samples which were prepared in accordance with the relevant ASTM standards. Load-controlled three-point bending fatigue tests were also carried out to investigate the performance of manufactured composites under fatigue. The fatigue tests were performed at different stress levels varied from 30 percent to 90 percent of average ultimate flexural strength of the samples which were determined from static three-point bending tests. Subsequently stiffness loss and Wöhler curves were constructed using a specific failure criterion.

    Mechanical and energy absorption behaviors of metal/polymer layered sandwich structures
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2011) Basturk, S. Bahar; Tanoglu, Metin; Tanoğlu, Metin
    This article considers the sandwich structures with aluminium (Al) foams of various thicknesses in conjunction with skins composed of fibre-metal laminates (FML). The FMLs with Al sheet and glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GFPP) composites were integrated with Al foam for composing the sandwich panels. The FML-foam sandwich systems were manufactured by hot pressing in a mold at 200 degrees C under 1.5 MPa pressure. The bonding between the components of the sandwich was achieved by various surface modification techniques, i.e., silane surface treatment, PP adhesive film additition, and their combination. The Al sheet/Al foam sandwiches were also prepared by bonding the components with an epoxy adhesive for comparing the effect of GFPP on the mechanical performance of the sandwich structures. The energy absorption capacities together with compressive mechanical behavior of both Al foams and FML-foam sandwich systems were evaluated by flatwise compression tests. Experiments were performed on samples of varying foam thicknesses.

    Temperature dependence of electrical conductivity in double-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotube/polyester nanocomposites
    (Springer, 2007) Simsek, Yilmaz; Ozyuzer, Lutfi; Seyhan, A. Tugrul; Tanoglu, Metin; Schulte, Karl; Tanoğlu, Metin
    The aim of this study is to investigate temperature dependence of electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube (CNT)/polyester nanocomposites from room temperature to 77 K using four-point probe test method. To produce nanocomposites, various types and amounts of CNTs (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 wt.%) were dispersed via 3-roll mill technique within a specially formulized resin blend of thermoset polyesters. CNTs used in the study include multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) with and without amine functional groups (-NH2). It was observed that the incorporation of carbon nanotubes into resin blend yields electrically percolating networks and electrical conductivity of the resulting nanocomposites increases with increasing amount of nanotubes. However, nanocomposites containing amino functionalized carbon nanotubes exhibit relatively lower electrical conductivity compared to those with non-functionalized carbon nanotubes. To get better interpretation of the mechanism leading to conductive network via CNTs with and without amine functional groups, the experimental results were fitted to fluctuation-induced tunneling through the barriers between the metallic regions model. It was found that the results are in good agreement with prediction of proposed model.

    Development of electrically conductive and anisotropic gel-coat systems using CNTs
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2013) Yardimci, Atike Ince; Tanoglu, Metin; Selamet, Yusuf; Tanoğlu, Metin
    Electrical conductivity of an unsaturated thermoset polyester based gel-coat system containing 0.05 wt.% of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated. The CNTs used were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition method by methane decomposition and Raman characterization showed that they were mostly single walled and high quality. To disperse CNTs in the gel-coat resin, 3-roll milling technique was used. It was found that as the CNTs are added to gel-coat system, resistivity value decreases significantly while neat gel-coat showed a high resistivity. By the application of an AC electrical field during curing process, it was attempted to align CNTs in the gel-coat resin and an electrically anisotropic polymer was obtained. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

    Mode I and mode II fracture toughness of E-glass non-crimp fabric/carbon nanotube (CNT) modified polymer based composites
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2008) Seyhan, A. Tugrul; Tanoglu, Metin; Schulte, Karl; Tanoğlu, Metin
    In this study, mode I and mode II interlaminar fracture toughness, and interlaminar shear strength of E-glass non-crimp fabric/carbon nanotube modified polymer matrix composites were investigated. The matrix resin containing 0.1 wt.% of amino functionalized multi walled carbon nanotubes were prepared, utilizing the 3-roll milling technique. Composite laminates were manufactured via vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process. Carbon nanotube modified laminates were found to exhibit 8% and 11% higher mode 11 interlaminar fracture toughness and interlaminar shear strength values, respectively, as compared to the base laminates. However, no significant improvement was observed for mode I interlaminar fracture toughness values. Furthermore, Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were utilized to monitor the distribution of carbon nanotubes within the composite microstructure and to examine the fracture surfaces of the failed specimens, respectively.

    Toughening of carbon fiber based composites with electrospun fabric layers
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017-11) Beylergil, Bertan; Tanoğlu, Metin; Tanoğlu, Metin; Aktaş, Engin
    The objective of this PhD thesis is to investigate interlaminar Mode-I fracture toughness of carbon fiber/epoxy composites interleaved by micro and/or nano scaled PA66 nonwoven veils. Also, the effects of electrospun PVA nanofibers on the mechanical performance of these composites were investigated. Additionally, this thesis also deals with the effects of aramid nonwoven veils on the mechanical properties of CF/EP composites. The produced nanofibers produced by electrospinning were directly deposited on carbon fiber fabrics. Then, reference and nano-modified laminates were manufactured by vacuum infusion method. A series of mechanical tests such as tensile, compression, three point bending, Charpy-impact, interlaminar shear strength and open hole tensile tests (OHT) were carried out on the prepared specimens. Double cantilever beam (DCB) tests were conducted on reference and interleaf-modified laminates. The effect of PA 66 nanofiber areal weight density was also evaluated with varying electrospinning time. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the fiber morphology and to understand the toughening mechanisms. Dynamic mechanic analysis (DMA) was used to investigate the thermo-mechanical behavior of reference and interleaf-modified composite specimens. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the thermal properties of micro and electrospun PA66 nonwoven veils. Comparing the mechanical test results, the most effective nonwoven interleaving system was determined in terms of higher delamination resistance and in-plane mechanical properties. Finite element method (FEM) was used to evaluate the effects of electrospun PA66 nonwoven veils on the CF/EP composites. Numerical simulations of Mode-I fracture toughness tests were carried out using ANSYS Workbench. The results showed that the most effective material was electrospun PA66 nonwovens considering the higher delamination resistance. Additionally, the electrospun PA 66 nonwovens also improved Charpy-impact and interlaminar shear strength of the reference CF/EP composites. Numerical results showed good agreement with the experimental ones.

    Development and characterization of PMMA based porous materials used for high pressure casting of sanitaryware ceramics
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Ergün, Yelda; Tanoğlu, Metin; Tanoğlu, Metin
    The ceramic whiteware / sanitaryware industry is rapidly undergoing to implement high-pressure casting techniques for ceramic article production. In high pressure technique, porous materials with open cell microstructure that allow drainage of water from the ceramic suspension under applied pressure are needed. In addition, a relatively high mechanical performance of the porous structure is required to obtain a long service life from the material under the cycled high pressures. The polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based polymeric porous structures have become the most suitable type of materials for this purpose because of their short casting periods and high service lives. The superior service life and performance of these materials are closely related to their microstructure. In the present study, PMMA-based porous materials were produced by water-in-oil emulsion polymerization technique. The porous systems were produced with various compositions of the constituents in the emulsion and various filler sizes to investigate the effect of the constituents and the sizes on the microstructure of PMMA-based materials. The variations on the pore microstructure were related to the performance of the material. The pore morphology and porosity of the samples was investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques (SEM). Water permeability was measured using a custom made permeability apparatus. The mechanical properties such as compressive collapse stress and elastic modulus values were determined by performing mechanical compression tests. It was found that increasing water surfactant concentration increases the porosity, water permeability and decreases mechanical properties and reversely increasing the amount of monomer in the emulsion decreases the porosity, water permeability and increases the mechanical properties. Fracture toughness values of the materials were measured by using single edge notch three point bending (SENB) test method. Fracture toughness test results and fracture surface analysis show that materials are fractured in brittle manner. It was found that lower concentrations of water and higher concentrations of monomer result in thicker cell walls and improve the fracture toughness of the material. To investigate the residual mechanical properties, specimens were subjected to cyclic loadings. After cyclic loading, increase of elastic modulus with the percentage of 52 and decrease of collapse stress values were measured.
