    Determination of the Impact Damage Threshold Point of Composite Material Using Fuzzy-Base Taguchi Method
    (ACADEMIC PUBLICATION COUNCIL, PO BOX 17225, KHALDIYA 72453, KUWAIT, 2020) Erbayrak, Seda; Erbayrak, Engin
    In this study, the impact damage threshold point of composite materials was determined using the optimum design parameters obtained from the Fuzzy Based Taguchi Method (FBTM). It is known that both Taguchi and Fuzzy methods provide optimization of design parameters yet, in Taguchi method, optimization of design parameters is not sufficient in solving multi response optimization problem. Therefore, Fuzzy Logic system was combined with the Taguchi system for working out the multi-response optimization problem. In this study, the low velocity impact damage analyses were performed in an LS-DYNA 3D explicit finite element program. ASTM D7136/D7136M standard was used during the low velocity impact analyses. In explicit finite element analyses, contact algorithms were executed to observe better damage zone shapes. Furthermore, the control parameters (termination and computation time step) were tuned to provide perfect correlation with the force-energy-time histories. The study concluded that Fuzzy Based Taguchi Method (FBTM) is much more capable of optimizing the design parameters that predict the impact damage threshold point of the composite material.

    Low-velocity impact analysis of metal-composite joints with grain-refined A356 and reinforced epoxy adhesive using six node pentahedron cohesive elements
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OR14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2025) Erbayrak, Engin; Çolak, Murat; Noberi, Cansu
    This study evaluates the strength of double lap joints composed of metal composite adherends and epoxy adhesive subjected to low impact energies (20 J, 40 J). The study was carried out through experimental and numerical methods to understand the strength of lap joints comprehensively. In the production of double lap joints, A356 aluminum and grain-refined aluminum adherends were used as the metal components. To refine the grain structure, titanium (Ti) and boron (B) were added to the liquid metal at a rate of 0.01% of the total metal weight (A356- TiB). The composite laminates consisted of glass/epoxy and aramid/epoxy, made with unidirectionally oriented fibers. Araldite 2015 epoxy adhesive, available in both unreinforced and copolyester-reinforced forms, was utilized to bond the metal and composite materials. In the numerical analysis of double-lap joints, the metal and composite adherends are modeled using 8-node solid elements, while the adhesive is represented by 6-node pentahedron cohesive elements. Furthermore, a surface-to-surface, two-way treatment of contact was created between the impactor and the metal adherend. Consequently, the maximum impact loads obtained from the numerical analysis are in good agreement with the experimental results for both impact energies.
