    A Coupled Modelling and Simulation Approach to Electromagnetic Sheet Metal Forming
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Aslan, Ozgur; Kabakci, Gamze Cakir; Sait, Ferit; Camalan, Caner; Baranoglu, Besim; Bayraktar, Emin
    This study presents a coupled numerical and experimental investigation of electromagnetic forming (EMF) for aluminium sheets. A custom simulation framework is developed in ABAQUS/Standard using user-defined material (UMAT) and load (DLOAD) subroutines. The magnetic pressure exerted on the workpiece is computed through a finite difference-based solution of Maxwell's equations and applied to the mechanical solver. The mechanical response of the material is modelled using a strain-rate-sensitive plasticity law calibrated for aluminium 7075-O. Experimental forming trials are performed using a custom-built EMF setup, and the results are compared with numerical predictions to validate the model. The comparison shows strong agreement in deformation profiles, confirming the predictive capability of the proposed simulation strategy. This work offers a reliable computational tool for optimising EMF processes and provides insights into material behaviour under high strain rate electromagnetic loading.

    An Investigation of Recycled Rubber Composites Reinforced With Micro Glass Bubbles: an Experimental and Numerical Approach
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Kabakci, Gamze Cakir; Bayraktar, Emin; Aslan, Ozgur
    Recycled rubber is widely used for its lightweight and cost-effective properties but often has limited mechanical strength, restricting its applications. This study enhances the mechanical performance of devulcanised recycled rubber by reinforcing it with micro glass bubbles (GBs) featuring a density of 0.65 g/cm(3) and an elastic modulus of 3.5 GPa, offering a high strength-to-density ratio. Uniaxial compression tests were conducted on samples with GB volume fractions of 5%, 10%, and 15%. Results were validated through finite element analysis (FEA) in ABAQUS/Standard, incorporating randomised GB distributions. A 2D representative volume element (RVE) with randomly distributed GBs was modelled, applying periodic boundary conditions to simplify the composite into an equivalent homogeneous material. Numerical simulations assessed the effects of GB diameters (30, 40, and 50 mu m) and inclusion size ranges (20-50 mu m and 10-60 mu m), finding minimal impact on results. The RVE, sized at 238 mu m, accurately represented macroscale composite behaviour. Stress-strain behaviour was analysed using average stress and strain tensors. The strong agreement between experimental and numerical results validates the proposed method, demonstrating its accuracy in predicting the mechanical behaviour of the reinforced composite material.

    Static and Fatigue Behaviour of Recycled Thinsheet "ti-Al Based Composites Produced by Hot Forging Diffusion Process
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Zambelis, Georges; Gatamorta, Fabio; Aslan, Ozgur; Miskioglu, Ibrahim; Bayraktar, Emin
    Within the framework of the common research project, the mechanical properties and fatigue behaviour of recycled thin sheet Ti-Al-based composites reinforced with atomized scrap aluminium (AA7075) and Nb elements have been evaluated. All the thin sheet sandwich structures were produced by the hot forging process, which is a semi-solid-forming process similar to partial melting hot forging. The effect of the chemical bonds during the production of these multifunctional sandwich composite structures was analysed using 3-point bending tests under static and dynamic (fatigue) loading conditions. Additional tensile tests have been carried out to evaluate the mating effect. Interface and microstructure of these composites have also been evaluated using scanning electron microscopy.

    Development of Ni-Al Composites Reinforced With Recycled Aa7075+aa1050 and Ceramics Produced by the Sintering Plus Forging Process
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2024) Gatamorta, Fabio; Klinkova, Olga; Aslan, Ozgur; Miskioglu, Ibrahim; Bayraktar, Emin
    In this study, the microstructural formation and static/cyclic compression behavior of "Ni-Al+AA7075 +AA1050"-based composites reinforced with ceramics (TiC-TiB2) have been evaluated. It is aimed at creating a new design to be an alternative to traditional alloys/composites used in the aeronautical industry. These composites are generally produced using a combined method that we call "sinter + forging processes". The static and dynamic properties and also the microstructure (including the distribution of reinforcement elements) are evaluated in detail.
