Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13The Precise Determination of the Johnson-Cook Material and Damage Model Parameters and Mechanical Properties of an Aluminum 7068-T651 Alloy(ASME, 2019-03-12) Bal, B.; Karaveli, K. K.; Cetin, B.; Gumus, B.Al 7068-T651 alloy is one of the recently developed materials used mostly in the defense industry due to its high strength, toughness, and low weight compared to steels. The aim of this study is to identify the Johnson-Cook (J-C) material model parameters, the accurate Johnson-Cook (J-C) damage parameters, D-1, D-2, and D-3 of the Al 7068-T651 alloy for finite element analysis-based simulation techniques, together with other damage parameters, D-4 and D-5. In order to determine D-1, D-2, and D-3, tensile tests were conducted on notched and smooth specimens at medium strain rate, 10(0) s(-1), and tests were repeated seven times to ensure the consistency of the results both in the rolling direction and perpendicular to the rolling direction. To determine D-4 and D-5 further, tensile tests were conducted on specimens at high strain rate (10(2) s(-1)) and temperature (300 degrees C) by means of the Gleeble thermal-mechanical physical simulation system. The final areas of fractured specimens were calculated through optical microscopy. The effects of stress triaxiality factor, rolling direction, strain rate, and temperature on the mechanical properties of the Al 7068-T651 alloy were also investigated. Damage parameters were calculated via the Levenberg-Marquardt optimization method. From all the aforementioned experimental work, J-C material model parameters were determined. In this article, J-C damage model constants, based on maximum and minimum equivalent strain values, were also reported which can be utilized for the simulation of different applications.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14The Effect of Strain Rate on the Hydrogen Embrittlement Susceptibility of Aluminum 7075(ASME, 2022-11-22) Baltacioglu, Mehmet Furkan; Cetin, Baris; Bal, BurakThe effects of changing the strain rate regime from quasi-static to medium on hydrogen susceptibility of aluminum (Al) 7075 were investigated using tensile tests. Strain rates were selected as 1 s(-1) and 10(-3) s(-1) and tensile tests were conducted on both hydrogen uncharged and hydrogen charged specimens at room temperature. Electrochemical hydrogen charging method was utilized and the diffusion length of hydrogen inside Al 7075 was modeled. Material characterizations were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and microstructural observations of hydrogen uncharged and hydrogen charged specimens were performed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). As opposed to earlier studies, hydrogen embrittlement (HE) was more pronounced at high strain rate cases. Moreover, hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) was the more dominant hydrogen embrittlement mechanism at slower strain rate but coexistence of hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity and hydrogen enhanced decohesion was observed at a medium strain rate. Overall, the current findings shed light on the complicated hydrogen embrittlement behavior of Al 7075 and constitute an efficient guideline for the usage of Al 7075 that can be subject to different strain rate loadings in service.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Symmetry-Based Transformable and Foldable Plate Structures(ASME, 2017-05-18) Beatini, ValentinaThis paper presents a novel family of modular flat-foldable rigid plate structures composed by assemblies of 4R-linkages. First, in the field of foldable plates, the proposed system is characterized by being not only foldable but also transformable: the slope of one module over the other is capable of changing not only magnitude but also sign. This transformable behavior extends the range of application of foldable plates from simply larger-smaller configurations to substantially different configurations and usages. The transformable curve is obtained by means of symmetry operations on the spherical length of links. For each module, three configurations can be designed. Various examples are illustrated.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4On the Utility of Crystal Plasticity Modeling to Uncover the Individual Roles of Microdeformation Mechanisms on the Work Hardening Response of Fe-23Mn TWIP Steel in the Presence of Hydrogen(ASME, 2018-02-08) Bal, B.; Koyama, M.; Canadinc, D.; Gerstein, G.; Maier, H. J.; Tsuzaki, K.This paper presents a combined experimental and theoretical analysis focusing on the individual roles of microdeformation mechanisms that are simultaneously active during the deformation of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels in the presence of hydrogen. Deformation responses of hydrogen-free and hydrogen-charged TWIP steels were examined with the aid of thorough electron microscopy. Specifically, hydrogen charging promoted twinning over slip-twin interactions and reduced ductility. Based on the experimental findings, a mechanism-based microscale fracture model was proposed, and incorporated into a visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) model to account for the stress-strain response in the presence of hydrogen. In addition, slip-twin and slip-grain boundary interactions in TWIP steels were also incorporated into VPSC, in order to capture the deformation response of the material in the presence of hydrogen. The simulation results not only verify the success of the proposed hydrogen embrittlement (HE) mechanism for TWIP steels, but also open a venue for the utility of these superior materials in the presence of hydrogen.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Model-Free Controller Designs for a Magnetic Micromanipulator(ASME, 2020-10-21) Ablay, GunyazAn optimal model-free controller and a linear controller are designed and applied to a horizontal magnetic micromanipulator for controlling microparticles in a liquid environment. An input-output relation based model for the magnetic micromanipulator is obtained, verified, and used in the analysis of controllers. A model-free linear controller is designed using the offset current approach. An optimal nonlinear controller based on Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions is designed and then modified to produce smooth control signals. Experimental results are provided to show the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed controllers. The model-free controllers yield short settling time and zero steady-state error in the control of magnetic microparticles.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Experimental and Molecular Dynamics Simulation-Based Investigations on Hydrogen Embrittlement Behavior of Chromium Electroplated 4340 Steel(ASME, 2021-06-17) Dogan, Ozge; Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Esat, Volkan; Bal, BurakIn this study, chromium electroplating process, corresponding hydrogen embrittlement, and the effects of baking on hydrogen diffusion are investigated. Three types of materials in the form of Raw 4340 steel, Chromium electroplated 4340 steel, and Chromium electroplated and baked 4340 steel are used in order to shed light on the aforementioned processes. Mechanical and microstructural analyses are carried out to observe the effects of hydrogen diffusion. Mechanical analyses show that the tensile strength and hardness of the specimens deteriorate after the chrome-electroplating process due to the presence of atomic hydrogen. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses are carried out for material characterization. Microstructural analyses reveal that hydrogen enters into the material with chromium electroplating process, and baking after chromium electroplating process is an effective way to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Additionally, the effects of hydrogen on the tensile response of alpha-Fe-based microstructure with a similar chemical composition of alloying elements are simulated through molecular dynamics (MD) method.
