    Minimization of Thermal Stresses in Instrumented Cutting Tools with Embedded Thin Film Thermocouples
    (Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2026-04) Kesriklioglu, Sinan; Sivesoglu, Abdurrahman
    This study investigates the optimization of multilayer coatings on cutting tools to minimize thermal stress and temperature differences between the tool-chip interface and embedded thermocouples. The novelty of this study lies in directly linking coating architecture to temperature measurement accuracy, revealing that coatings not only affect heat dissipation and stress development but may also distort the apparent temperature recorded by embedded sensors. The types and thickness ranges of thin film layers in instrumented cutting tools were determined, and multi-physics finite element simulations were then used to evaluate coating configurations under thermal loading, assessing both stress distribution and temperature variance in the multilayer coating system. The Taguchi method, coupled with desirability analysis, identified optimal coating parameters that simultaneously minimize thermal stresses and temperature disparities, which are critical for accurate temperature measurements and extending the lifespan of cutting inserts. This framework enables a controllable trade-off between mechanical reliability and thermal measurement fidelity. The results reveal significant interactions among coating configurations (settings) and between thermal and mechanical properties of the materials used, demonstrating that careful selection of layer materials and thicknesses optimizes stress and temperature responses yielding thermal stress of 1628 MPa (second lowest and only 0.4 % higher than the minimum) and temperature difference of 12.1 degrees C (third lowest and 55 % lower than average). These findings underscore the potential of precise coating design to enhance tool performance and longevity in high temperature machining applications.

    Failure Analysis of Fused Deposition Modeling 3D Printed Poly Lactic Acid Polymer
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2025-10-04) Yilmaz, Cagatay; Eltahir, Sara Saeed Abdulrahman
    Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing (AM), has emerged as one of the most transformative technological advances in the last few decades in global manufacturing, as it allows for the production of intricate components without the use of costly molds. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is widely adopted among various AM techniques due to its accessibility and effectiveness. FDM 3D-printed PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) shows a transversely isotopic symmetry similar to laminated composite structures. Therefore, classical lamination theory can be applied to FDM 3D-printed PLA. This study attempts to expand the knowledge by relying on classical lamination theory and several imposed failure theories like maximum stress, Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, and Hashin to determine how FDM 3D printing of PLA fails. We investigate eight different raster orientations (0 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 75 degrees, and 90 degrees) and compare the theoretical prediction of strength with experimental findings. With this comprehensive analysis, we are seeking to better understand the failure analysis of FDM 3D printed PLA. The maximum stress, Tsai-Wu, Tsai-Hill, and Hashin failure theories show good agreement with experimental findings for 0 degrees and 90 degrees raster orientations. As the raster orientation shifts from 0 degrees, the discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions increases, peaks at mid-angles, and then decreases, becoming negligible at 90 degrees.

    The Impact of Knitted Linked Seams on Comfort and Friction Perception
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024-08-29) Temel, Mevra; Scott, Eleanor; Cain, Rebecca; Johnson, Andrew A.
    Friction from knitted clothing can cause discomfort and skin issues, underscoring the importance of tactile comfort for wearers. Seamless knitted garments are assumed to be comfortable to wear, yet there is little understanding of their tactile comfort in comparison to linked seams - the most common form of knitted garment. This novel study examines the influence of a garments knitted structural architecture on clothing comfort and wearability by investigating skin friction and tactile perception across ten body regions in both male and female participants, using two commonly utilised materials and seam designs: cotton and merino wool with plain and linked seams. The impact of seam design and regional factors on skin friction and tactile perception was analysed, revealing varying levels across tested body regions. Removing seams exposed a greater surface area to skin contact, leading to higher perceived friction levels. As such, structural elements in knitted garments enhance wearer comfort. Seamless knitwear manufacturing offers a more environmentally conscious option compared to traditional cut-and-sew processes. This study investigated the impact of knitted garment material and structure on wearer comfort by analysing skin friction and tactile perception across ten upper body regions. Removing seams increased garment-to-skin contact leading to wearer discomfort.

    Experimental 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, Sinan
    S2-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.

    Effect 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.

    Compression Performance of 3D-Printed Ant-Inspired Lattice Structures: An Innovative Design Approach
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2025-01-12) Atahan, Mithat Gokhan; Saglam, Selman
    In 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.

    Comparative Study on Bending Performances of 3D-Printed Monolithic and Adhesively Bonded Sandwich Structures With Various Auxetic Cores: An Innovative Production Approach
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2025-03-28) Atahan, Mithat Gokhan; Sevim, Caglar; Demirbas, Munise Didem; Apalak, Mustafa Kemal
    The cores of sandwich structures are typically produced monolithically using lightweight materials and specific geometries. In recent years, the advancements in additive manufacturing have enabled the design and production of novel sandwich core configurations with auxetic behavior and high energy absorption capability. In this study, an innovative production approach, namely adhesively bonded sandwich structures with auxetic cores, was proposed to ensure significant manufacturing advantages for industrial applications. Each part of the sandwich core structures with auxetic core configurations was printed separately and then bonded using an epoxy-based adhesive. To evaluate the mechanical performance of the proposed bonded sandwich structures, three-point and four-point bending tests with DIC (Digital Image Correlation) analyses were conducted. The bending test results of adhesively bonded sandwich structures were compared with those of monolithic sandwich structures and the effectiveness of the proposed innovative production method was evaluated. Re-entrant, star-shaped, and V-shaped auxetic core configurations were compared in terms of the bending performances of the adhesively bonded and monolithic sandwich structures. Monolithic and adhesively bonded sandwich structures showed similar bending behavior as far as load-carrying capacity, deformation stages, and crashworthiness performance are concerned based on three and four-point bending tests. Hence, the proposed innovative production approach can be applied to sandwich structures to enhance their repairability and support sustainable manufacturing.
