Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Experimental and Statistical Damage Analysis in Milling of S2-Glass Fiber/Epoxy and Basalt Fiber/Epoxy Composites(Wiley, 2024-07-30) Sayin, Ahmed Cagri; Danisman, Sengul; Ersoy, Emin; Yilmaz, Cagatay; Kesriklioglu, SinanS2-glass fiber reinforced plastics (S2-GFRP) and basalt fiber reinforced plastics (BFRP) have emerged as crucial materials due to their exceptional mechanical properties, and milling of composite materials plays an important role in achieving desired properties. However, they have proven challenges due to relative inhomogeneity compared with metals, resulting unpredictability in quality of milling operations. The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of cutting parameters, tool geometry and tool surface materials on the surface quality of composites using burrs as a metric. S2-GFRP and BFRP composites were produced by the vacuum infusion method. Helical and straight flute end mills were manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) and carbide rounds, and half of them were coated with titanium nitride using reactive magnetron sputtering technique. Taguchi L18 orthogonal array is used to determine the effect of tool material, tool angle, coating, cutting direction, spindle speed, and feed rate on the machining quality of S2-GFRPs and BFRPs with respect to burr formations. Milling experiments were conducted under dry conditions and then the burrs were imaged to calculate the total area and length. Statistical analysis was also performed to optimize the machining parameters and tool type for ensuring the structural integrity and performance of the final composite parts. The results showed that the selection of tool material has the most significant impact on the burr area and length of the machined surface. The novel image analysis allows to analyze the extent of the burr size with a desirable operation speed for industrial applications.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Compression Performance of 3D-Printed Ant-Inspired Lattice Structures: An Innovative Design Approach(Sage Publications Ltd, 2025-01-12) Atahan, Mithat Gokhan; Saglam, SelmanIn this study, three different ant-inspired lattice design types: single, double, and inverted double structures were considered due to ants' excellent load-carrying weight ratio. Lattice structures were fabricated using the 3D printing method and polylactic acid filament was used as a printing material. The true blueprint images of the ant were used to obtain the parametric dimensions of the ant-inspired lattice structure. Hence, the presented innovative method for designing lattice structures can be a promising option for industrial sectors requiring high-strength structures. The quasi-static axial compression tests were conducted to evaluate the compression performance of the novel lattice structures. The compression performance of ant-inspired single lattice structures was compared based on specific force, specific energy absorption, and specific stiffness at different height values. The deformation stages and damage regions of ant-inspired lattice structures were analyzed to identify their critical regions during compression tests. The results indicated that as the height value increased, there was a notable decrease in specific force, specific energy absorption, and specific stiffness, along with buckling damage in the ant-inspired single lattice structures. Among the three design types, the ant-inspired inverted double lattice structure showed better compression performance compared to the ant-inspired double lattice structure; however, the ant-inspired single lattice structure with a height of 30 mm exhibited the highest overall compression performance.
