Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2The 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.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Experimental 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: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Comparative 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 KemalThe 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.
