Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Low-Speed Bending Impact Behavior of Adhesively Bonded Single-Lap Joints(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-12-26) Atahan, M. Gokhan; Apalak, M. Kemal; Gokhan Atahan, M.; Kemal Apalak, M.This study addresses the low-speed impact behavior of adhesively bonded single-lap joints. An explicit dynamic finite element analysis was conducted in order to determine the damage initiation and propagation in the adhesive layers of adhesive single-lap joints under a bending impact load. A cohesive zone model was implemented to predict probable failure initiation and propagation along adhesive-adherend interfaces whereas an elasto-plastic material model was used for the adhesive zone between upper and lower adhesive interfaces as well as the adherends. The effect of the plastic deformation ability of adherend material on the damage mechanism of the adhesive layer was also studied for two aluminum materials Al 2024-T3 and Al 5754-0 having different strength and plastic deformation ability. The effects of impact energy (3 and 11 J) and the overlap length (25 and 40 mm) were also investigated. The predicted contact force-time, contact force-central displacement variations, the damage initiation and propagation mechanism were verified with experimental ones. The SEM and macroscope photographs of the adhesive fracture surfaces were similar to those of the explicit dynamic finite element analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Effect of Multi-Cell Approach on Crashworthiness Performance of 3D-Printed Thin-Walled Structures Under Lateral Compression Loading for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Applications(Sage Publications Ltd, 2025-06-02) Atahan, M. Gokhan; Zeybek, Halil; Gokhan Atahan, M.Recent technological advancements in unmanned aerial vehicles have led to their use in various military and civilian applications. However, weather conditions, operator faults, and electronic or mechanical problems can result in unmanned aerial vehicle accidents. In the event of an accident, energy-absorbing structures can be placed in specific regions of vehicles to protect sensitive and costly cameras, sensors, and cargo from damage, while also preserving the vehicle's structural integrity. In this study, thin-walled energy absorbers with circular, square, hexagonal, and reentrant geometries were proposed, and the experimental investigation focused on the effect of increasing the number of cells on their crashworthiness performance and deformation mechanisms. Lateral compressive load was applied to thin-walled structures produced by fused deposition modeling technology using advanced polylactic acid filament. Experimental results showed that the triple-cell reentrant thin-walled structure demonstrated promising results for unmanned aerial vehicle applications, as it exhibited the highest mean crushing force, energy absorption, and specific energy absorption values. Thanks to the unique geometry of the reentrant structure, a gradual collapse mode was observed, and as a result, the triple-cell reentrant structure exhibited high energy absorption performance.
