Conference Object Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 17Numerical Modeling of Hydrogen Diffusion in Metals Accounting for Large Deformations(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Aslan, OzgurWhile the deleterious effects of hydrogen on metals and alloys are well known, the precise role of hydrogen in the underlying microscopic mechanisms is still not well understood and as of yet, the modeling attempts on hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen induced cracking have not led to a proper method for life-time prediction. This work aims at the development of a robust numerical strategy in order to solve the non-linear coupled problem presented in the work of Anand [1]. The numerical implementation is performed for finite element method and the analysis are done to address the issue of hydrogen transport and hydrogen-embrittlement-related failures in metals. Specifically, problems related to the mechanism of hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) is studied and macroscale shear localization phenomenon resulting from hydrogen induced material softening is considered at the phenomenological level.

Recycled rubber is one of the most commonly used recyclable materials in a number of industries, including automotive and aeronautic because of their low weight and cost efficiency. In this research, devulcanized recycled rubber-based composites are designed with glass bubble microsphere, short glass fiber, aluminum chip and fine gamma alumina fiber (gamma-Al2O3) reinforcements. After the determination of the reinforcements with matrix, bending strength and fracture characteristics of the composite are investigated by three-point bending (3PB) tests. Halpin-Tsai homogenization model is adapted to the rubber-based composites to estimate the moduli of the composites. Furthermore, the relevant toughening mechanisms for the most suitable reinforcements are analyzed and stress intensity factor, K-Ic and critical energy release rate, G(Ic) in mode I are determined by 3PB test with single edge notch specimens. In addition, 3PB tests are simulated by finite element analysis and the results are compared with the experimental results. Microstructural and fracture surfaces analysis are carried out by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Mechanical test results show that the reinforcement with glass bubbles, aluminum oxide ceramic fibers and aluminum chips generally increase the fracture toughness of the composites.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 22Modeling and Simulation of Coupled Phase Transformation and Stress Evolution in Thermal Barrier Coatings(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2020) Sait, Ferit; Aslan, Özgür; Gurses, Ercan; Aslan, Ozgur; Sait, Ferit; Aslan, Özgür; Sait, Ferit; Mechanical Engineering; Aerospace Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Aerospace EngineeringThe thermally grown oxide layer is known to be responsible for the failure of coating systems due to the generation of severely high stresses. In this work, oxidation induced stresses generated in thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are investigated for high temperature isothermal oxidation. In that sense, a comprehensive model, where phase transformation is coupled with mechanics is developed for the life-time estimation of TBC systems and a modified version of the Allen-Cahn type phase field approach is adopted in order to model the generation of thermally grown oxide (TGO) in finite strain constitutive framework. The top-coat material behavior is modeled using a rate-dependent Gurson type plasticity for porous materials which also accounts for creep. The results for the isothermal phase transformation analysis and the model validation using experimental results are demonstrated. The capability of the model in predicting the local stresses which is the main variable in the analysis of possible delaminations and accurate lifetime estimation of TBC systems is shown.
