Lutfi; Akbari, Amir; Kaya, Faruk; Mertdinç Ülküseven, Sıddıka; Derin, Bora; Öveçoğlu, M. Lütfi; Ağaoğulları, Duygu; Mertdinc-Ulkuseven, Siddika; 01. MEF University; 02.03. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 02. Faculty of EngineeringMo-boride and W-boride powders were produced from native boron oxide, magnesium, and related metal oxide starting materials by mechanochemical synthesis (MCS) followed by an purification treatment. The reaction formation mechanisms and the products were predicted with the FactSageTM thermochemical simulation program. Different conditions were tested to determine the optimum synthesis parameters. MCS was conducted at stoichiometric ratios and different milling durations, using excess reactant amounts over the determined optimum time. After MCS, unwanted phases were removed by HCl acid leaching. Detailed phase analyses of the final powders were obtained by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), whereas detailed microstructure characterization was conducted by scanning electron microscope/energy dispersion spectrometer (SEM/EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and particle size analyzer. Among the utilized parameters, the ideal composition chosen for Mo boride synthesis was 6 h milled and leached MoO3-100 wt% B2O3-50 wt% Mg (1.41 mu m), including alpha-MoB, beta-MoB, MoB2, Mo2B, Mo2B5, and Mo phases. For the synthesis of W boride, the proper composition was found as WO3-100 wt% B2O3-50 wt% Mg (0.37 mu m) containing W2B5, WB, beta-WB, WB4, W2B, and W phases after milling for 20 h and leaching. Besides, as a result of the oxidation resistance measurements at 700 and 800 degrees C, phases belonging to MoO2 and WO2 were found along with boride phases.Article Nbmovta Refractory High-Entropy Alloy Incorporated Wni Matrix Composite as a Future Plasma-Facing Material: Evaluation of Mechanical Properties and Helium Ion Irradiation Behavior(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Öveçoğlu, M. Lutfi; Filiz, Kaan; Karaguney, Zahide; Gokaydin, Eyupcan; Bozkurt, Yasin; Ozbasmaci, Ceren; Ovecoglu, M. Lutfi; 01. MEF University; 02.03. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 02. Faculty of EngineeringRefractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) have gained attention in the last decades with their high mechanical strength, self-healing mechanism, and high irradiation resistance. These materials are evaluated to have a high potential as plasma-facing materials for fusion reactors. In this study, helium ion irradiation and mechanical behaviors of the RHEA-reinforced WNi matrix composites were investigated based on this perspective. Equimolar molybdenum, niobium, tantalum and vanadium powders were mechanically alloyed for 6 h to produce NbMoVTa RHEA with a single BCC phase. Then, different amounts (10, 20, 30, and 40 wt%) of RHEA were added into the W1Ni (containing 99 wt% W and 1 wt% Ni) matrix by planetary ball milling for 72 h. Consolidation was conducted by spark plasma sintering technique (1410 degrees C, 1 min). X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersion spectroscopy, and Archimedes' density analyses were performed on the composites. Moreover, wear and hardness properties of the composites were examined, and the lowest specific wear rate (0.59 mm3/N.m x 10- 5) and the highest hardness value (10.10 GPa) were found for the W1Ni-40RHEA composite. Helium irradiation was exposed to the composites to observe their irradiation resistance. It was observed that the lowest increment and the least deformation were obtained with the SPS'ed W1Ni-40RHEA composite. With the analysis of He+ irradiation, it was determined that the effect of radiation on mechanical properties is irrelevant. Also, it was observed that the addition of RHEA into the W matrix can create a high potential for using plasma-facing material. Moreover, it decreased the problems of tungsten against He+ irradiation.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Powder metallurgy processing of seven/eight component multi-phase (HfTiZr-Mn/Mo/W/Cr/Ta)B<sub>2</sub> high entropy diboride ceramics(Elsevier, 2024) Suzer, Ilayda; Öveçoğlu, M. Lutfi; Ates, Semih; Bayrak, Kuebra Gurcan; Mertdinc-Ulkuseven, Siddika; Arisoy, C. Fahir; Agaogullari, Duygu; Öveçoğlu, M. Lutfi; 02.03. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityThis study aims to show the possibility of synthesizing seven- and eight-component high entropy diboride (HEB) ceramics using high energy ball milling-assisted spark plasma sintering (SPS). Metal boride powders, synthesized in laboratory conditions from metal oxide-boron oxide-magnesium powder blends, were combined equimolarly as seven and eight components containing systems. Afterwards, hybridized powders were mechanically alloyed (MA) for 6 h and subjected to spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 2000 degrees C and under 30 MPa. Detailed phase analysis and physical, microstructural, and mechanical characterization of the samples were performed. in the sintered products, the main phase belongs to the HEB, and also low amounts of Hf/Zr oxides and secondary phases (W or Ti-rich) occurred. The highest hardness was observed at the (HfTiZrMoWCrTa)B-2 with 25 GPa, and the lowest hardness was seen at the (HfTiZrMnCrMoWTa)B2 with 17 GPa. Also, the highest wear resistance was calculated for the (HfTiZrMnCrMoTa)B-2 as 6.05 x 10(-7) mm(3)/Nm. Additionally, (HfTiZrMnMoWTa)B-2 and (HfTiZrMnMoCrTa)B-2 have the highest and lowest Archimedes' densities, with 7.94 g/cm(3) and 6.91 g/cm(3), respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7A New Approach for Measuring Viscoelastic Properties of Soft Materials Using the Dynamic Response of a Spherical Object Placed at the Sample Interface(Springer, 2023) Besli, Ayça; Körük, Hasan; Körük,Hasan; Yurdaer, Berk Salih; Koc, H. O.; Yurdaer, S. B.; Pouliopoulos, A. N.; 02.03. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityBackground: There are several techniques to characterize the mechanical properties of soft materials, such as the indentation method and the method based on the application of a spherical object placed inside the sample. The indentation systems usually yield the elastic properties of materials and their mathematical models do not consider the inertia of the sample involved in motion and radiation damping, while placing an object inside the sample is not practical and this procedure can alter the mechanical properties of the sample for the method based on the application of a bubble/sphere placed inside the sample. Objective: A new approach for the identification of the viscoelastic properties of soft materials using the dynamic response of a spherical object placed at the sample interface was proposed. Methods: The spherical object placed at the sample interface was pressed using an electromagnet and the dynamic response of the spherical object was tracked using a high-speed camera, while the dynamic response of the spherical object placed at the sample interface was estimated using a comprehensive analytical model. The effects of the shear modulus, viscosity, Poisson’s ratio and density of the soft sample, the radius and density of the spherical object and the damping due to radiation were considered in this mathematical model. The shear modulus and viscosity of the soft sample were determined by matching the experimentally identified and theoretically estimated responses of the spherical object. Results: The shear moduli and viscosities of the three phantoms with the gelatin mass ratios of 0.20, 0.25 and 0.29 were measured to be 3450, 4300 and 4950 Pa and 12.5, 14.0 and 15.0 Pa⋅s, respectively. The shear modulus and viscosity of the phantom increases as the gelatin mass ratio increases. The frequency of oscillations of the hemisphere placed at the phantom interface increases as the gelatin mass ratio increases due to stiffness increase. Conclusions: After matching the experimental and theoretical steady-state displacements and amplitudes of oscillations of the hemisphere at the sample interface, the comparison of the experimentally identified and theoretically predicted frequency of oscillations further confirmed the identified material properties of the samples. The approach presented here is expected to provide valuable information on material properties in biomedical and industrial applications.Article Biyomalzemelerin Akustik ve Mekanik Özelliklerinin Arastırılması(2020) Genç, Garip; Körük,Hasan; Körük, Hasan; 02.03.

MEF UniversityThis study presents a damage identification procedure in beams based on the use of beamforming algorithms, which are mostly utilized in inverse problems of source identification and image reconstruction. We choose the modal curvatures as observed quantities and compare the performance of the Bartlett beamformer, minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) processor, and of a conventional objective function based on the modal curvatures. By means of a set of experiments, we show that the MVDR processor can overcome some of the difficulties encountered with other estimators, especially in cases of slight damage, or damage located between two sensors. © 2023, Association of American Publishers.

MEF UniversityHere we extend the perturbation approach, previously presented in the literature for Eringen’s two-phase local/nonlocal mixture model, to free vibration of purely flexible beams. In particular, we expand the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors into power series of the fraction coefficient of the non-local material response up to 2nd order. We show that the family of 0th order bending couples satisfy the natural and essential boundary conditions of the 1st order; hence, the 1st order solution can conveniently be constructed using the eigenspace of the 0th order with no necessity of additional conditions. We obtain the condition of solvability that provides the incremental eigenvalue in closed form. We further demonstrate that the 1st order increment of the eigenvalue is always negative, providing the well-known softening effect of long-range interactions among the material points of a continuum modelled with Eringen’s theory. We examine a simply supported beam as a benchmark problem and present the incremental eigenvalues in closed form. © 2023, Association of American Publishers.

MEF UniversityThis paper presents an approach to natural vibration of nano-beams by a linear elastic constitutive law based on a mixture of local and non-local contributions, the latter based on Eringen's model. A perturbation in terms of an evolution parameter lets incremental field equations be derived; another perturbation in terms of the non-local volume fraction yields the variation of the natural angular frequencies and modes with the 'small' amount of non-locality. The latter perturbation does not need to comply with the so-called constitutive boundary conditions, the physical interpretation of which is still debated. The possibility to find closed-form solutions is highlighted following a thorough discussion on the compatibility conditions needed to solve the steps of the perturbation hierarchy; some paradigmatic examples are presented and duly commented.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Vibration of Locally Cracked Pre-Loaded Parabolic Arches(Academic Press, 2022) Tüfekci, Ekrem; Eroğlu, Uğurcan; Giuseppe, Ruta; Ruta, Giuseppe; 01. MEF UniversityWe study linear dynamics of an initially parabolic arch deformed by a uniform ‘dead’ load. The arch is seen as a fully deformable one-dimensional continuum with rigid cross-sections, one of which suffers from a small local crack at its boundary. The crack is simulated by springs, the stiffnesses of which are evaluated via stress intensity factors. By two first-order perturbations we investigate a non-trivial equilibrium adjacent to the reference configuration and small vibration superposed on it. The modulation of the initial load on the natural angular frequencies and its consequences on damage detection is described and commented. It turns out that neglecting the initial load, recalling for actual ‘dead’ structural actions, can be misleading in damage identification, while its inclusion leads to better results.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Propulsive Performance of Plunging Airfoils in Biplane Configuration(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2022) Yücel, S. Banu; Ünal, Mehmet Fevzi; Ünal, Mehmet Fevzi; 02.03. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityBiplane configuration of pure plunging airfoils is investigated in terms of vortex dynamics both experimentally and numerically by utilizing particle image velocimetry and unstructured finite volume solver of incompressible unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. Experiments are carried out to disclose the vortex shedding and interaction mechanisms for various values of frequency and amplitude of the plunging motion. For the non-dimensional plunge amplitude with respect to the chord of airfoil h = 0.2, the effect of the reduced circular frequency based on chord length and the free stream velocity k = 1 and 10 are considered, whereas for h = 0.3, k = 2, 4, 8, and 10 cases are examined. Influence of the plunge amplitude is studied for h = 0.25 at k = 2.5 and for h = 0.0875, 0.15, and 0.3 at k = 4. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effect of phase difference on vortex structures and propulsive characteristics, such as thrust and Froude efficiency. Two cases having the highest thrust and efficiency values k = 2.5, h = 0.25, and k = 4, h = 0.15 value couples are selected for the phase angle of φ = 0 °, φ = 90 °, φ = 180 °, and φ = 270 °. Opposed plunge, φ = 180 °, was found as the most efficient amongst all phase angles that were investigated, where φ = 90 ° is beneficial in lift production. Additionally, three-dimensional simulations indicate no significant three dimensionalities for the parameters used herein.
