Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Effect of Use of Cu-Cr P/M Electrodes on Machining Performance of Electric Discharge Machining(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2015) Gulcan, Orhan; Çoğun, Can; Uslan, Ibrahim; Usta, Yusuf; Cogun, Can; Çoʇun, Can; Mekatronik MühendisliğiIn this study, the effect of use of Cu-Cr powder metal (P/M) electrodes on EDM performance outputs, namely material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR), mean and maximum roughness of machined surface (R-a and R-z) and workpiece surface recast layer thickness, was investigated experimentally. The Cu-Cr P/M electrodes produced at different mixing ratios, compacting pressures and sintering temperatures were used to machine SAE 1040 steel. The analyses performed have shown that the electrode material is deposited on to the work surface as a layer and the powder mixing ratio, the compaction pressure and sintering temperature affect the EDM performance outputs.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Influence of the Material Properties on the Elastic-Plastic Deformation in a Heat Generating Composite Solid Cylinder(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2013) Ozturk, Ali; Gülgeç, Müfit; Gulgec, Mufit; Mekatronik MühendisliğiBased on Tresca's yield criterion and its associated flow rule, the elastic-plastic deformation of a centrally heated composite cylinder with fixed ends is investigated by considering the influence of geometric parameters as well as material properties such as yield strength, modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, coefficient of thermal conduction and thermal expansion. In the study, stress, strain and displacement distributions in the composite cylinder made of elastic-perfectly plastic material are derived. Stress distribution and evolution of plastic regions in the composite are presented for different levels of heat generation in the core.Article A Parametric Study on the Elastic-Plastic Deformation of a Centrally Heated Two-Layered Composite Cylinder With Free Ends(Polish Acad Sciences inst Fundamental Technological Research, 2016) Yalcin, F.; Gülgeç, Müfit; Ozturk, A.; Gulgec, M.; Mekatronik MühendisliğiIn this paper, an elastic-plastic deformation of a centrally heated two-layered composite cylinder with free ends subjected to uniformly distributed internal energy generation within an inner cylinder is studied using Tresca's yield condition and its associated flow rule. Stress, strain and displacement distributions in the composite cylinder made of elastic-perfectly plastic material are derived considering the influence of geometric parameters as well as material properties such as yield strength, modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, coefficient of thermal conduction and coefficient of thermal expansion. Yielding starts at the outer boundary or at the axis corresponding to an 'edge regime' of Tresca's prism in both cases. Propagations of the plastic regions are studied due to an increase of a heat generation.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Dynamic Flat-Topped Laser Beam Shaping Method Using Mixed Region Amplitude Freedom Algorithm(Springer Heidelberg, 2022) Arpali, Caglar; Arpali, Serap Altay; Altemimi, Mohammed Fawzi; Alsaka, Dina YaqoobA dynamic beam shaping method is proposed for the generation of flat-top beams (FTBs) in the far field. Using the mixed-region amplitude freedom algorithm, this new method is used to design the required phase distribution encoded on a spatial light modulator for the generation of FTB profiles. The characteristics of these new beam shaping methods are used as beam parameters, such as the laser beam size, the beam intensity of square FTBs, and the root-mean-square error (RMSE). Using our proposed method, the theoretical performance of beam intensity shaping is improved to an RMSE < 0.02 with a minimum number of iterations of phase reconstruction. Using the phase hologram of dynamic beam shaping, theoretical and experimental comparisons of edge steepness and plateau uniformity were established for the square FTBs of variable beam sizes. It is shown that the dynamic beam shaping of FTBs can produce high intensity uniformity in the plateau region with steep edges, which makes it an effective tool, especially for laser machining applications.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 26Experimental Investigation on Wire Electric Discharge Machining of Biodegradable Az91 Mg Alloy(Springer, 2021) Cogun, Can; Genc, Asim; Esen, Ziya; Bozkurt, Fatih; Urtekin, Levent; Ozerkan, Haci BekirThe AZ91 magnesium alloy, used commonly as a biodegradable material in biomedical applications, is generally formed by conventional casting method (CCM) and high-pressure die casting method (HPDCM). The AZ91 alloys exhibit poor machinability with conventional chip removal methods since they degrade at elevated temperatures. In this study, the wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) was presented as a candidate process to machine the AZ91 alloy since no cutting stresses and plastic deformations were applied by the cutting tool to the part causing elevated temperatures. In this context, the WEDM machinability of the AZ91 alloy samples produced by cold chamber HPDCM and CCM at different process parameters, was experimentally investigated. The machining performance outputs (the machining current (I), the machining rate (MR), the average surface roughness (R-a), and surface topography) were found for the varying process parameters [pulse time (t(s)), pulse-off time (t(off)), dielectric flushing pressure (P-d), and wire speed (V-w)]. The present study revealed that the I and the MR were significantly dependent on the density, the porosity, and the micro structure of the samples, and the HPDCM samples gave the higher MR and the smoother surface than that of the CCM.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 17Developing and Implementation of an Optimization Technique for Solar Chimney Power Plant With Machine Learning(Asme, 2021) Kocak, Eyup; Bayer, Ozgur; Beldek, Ulas; Yapic, Ekin Ozgirgin; Ayli, Ece; Ulucak, Oguzhan; Yapici, Ekin ÖzgirginGreen energy has seen a huge surge of interest recently due to various environmental and financial reasons. To extract the most out of a renewable system and to go greener, new approaches are evolving. In this paper, the capability of Artificial Neural Network and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System in geometrical optimization of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP) to enhance generated power is investigated to reduce the time cost and errors when optimization is performed with numerical or experimental methods. It is seen that both properly constructed artificial neural networks (ANN) and adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) optimized geometries give higher performance than the numerical results. Also, to validate the accuracy of the ANN and ANFIS predictions, the obtained results are compared with the numerical results. Both soft computing methods over predict the power output values with MRE values of 12.36% and 7.25% for ANN and ANFIS, respectively. It is seen that by utilizing ANN and ANFIS algorithms, more power can be extracted from the SCPP system compared to conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) optimized geometry with trying a lot more geometries in a notably less time when it is compared with the numerical technique. It is worth mentioning that the optimization method that is developed can be implemented to all engineering problems that need geometric optimization to maximize or minimize the objective function.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 36Effect of Powder Metallurgy Cu-B4c Electrodes on Workpiece Surface Characteristics and Machining Performance of Electric Discharge Machining(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Cogun, Ferah; Akturk, Nizami; Cogun, Can; Esen, Ziya; Genc, AsimThe main aim of this study is to produce new powder metallurgy (PM) Cu-B4C composite electrode (PM/(Cu-B4C)) capable of alloying the recast workpiece surface layer during electric discharge machining process with boron and other hard intermetallic phases, which eventually yield high hardness and abrasive wear resistance. The surface characteristics of the workpiece machined with a PM/(Cu-B4C) electrode consisted of 20 wt% B4C powders were compared with those of solid electrolytic copper (E/Cu) and powder metallurgy pure copper (PM/Cu) electrodes. The workpiece surface hardness, surface abrasive wear resistance, depth of the alloyed surface layer and composition of alloyed layers were used as key parameters in the comparison. The workpiece materials, which were machined with PM/(Cu-B4C) electrodes, exhibited significantly higher hardness and abrasive wear resistance than those of machined with the E/Cu and PM/Cu. The main reason was the presence of hard intermetallic phases, such as FeB, B4C (formed due to the boron in the electrode) and Fe3C in the surface layer. The improvement of the surface hardness achieved for steel workpiece when using PM/(Cu-B4C) electrodes was significantly higher than that reported in the literature. Moreover, the machining performance outputs (workpiece material removal rate, electrode wear rate and workpiece average surface roughness (Ra)) of the electrodes were also considered in this study.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Reconfigurability of Behavioural Specifications for Manufacturing Systems(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Schmidt, Klaus WernerReconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) support flexibility in the product variety and the configuration of the manufacturing system itself in order to enable quick adjustments to new products and production requirements. As a consequence, an essential feature of RMS is their ability to rapidly modify the control strategy during run-time. In this paper, the particular problem of changing the specified operation of a RMS, whose logical behaviour is modelled as a finite state automaton, is addressed. The notion of reconfigurability of specifications (RoS) is introduced and it is shown that the stated reconfiguration problem can be formulated as a controlled language convergence problem. In addition, algorithms for the verification of RoS and the construction of a reconfiguration supervisor are proposed. The supervisor is realised in a modular way which facilitates the extension by new configurations. Finally, it is shown that a supremal nonblocking and controllable strict subautomaton of the plant automaton that fulfils RoS exists in case RoS is violated for the plant automaton itself and an algorithm for the computation of this strict subautomaton is presented. The developed concepts and results are illustrated by a manufacturing cell example.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 37Effective Damage Mechanisms and Performance Evaluation of Ceramic Composite Armors Subjected To Impact Loading(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014) Gulgec, Mufit; Evci, CelalResearches on the armor systems composed of composite materials with ceramic frontal face and polymer-based back-support are continuously developing further. This study, which mainly covers the impact behavior of ceramic composite armors, is a two-stage research. The first stage involves the investigation of component-level impact characteristics and failure mechanisms of the ceramic composite armors. At this stage, low-velocity impact behavior of ceramics and fiber-reinforced composites is investigated. Impact test results revealed that impact loading is of dynamic nature and strength of the composite materials under dynamic loading increases considerably as a result of strain rate sensitivity, which makes them the right choice to be used in conjunction with ceramics in armor systems. The second stage examines the ballistic impact behavior and ballistic performance of the armor systems. The extent and pattern of impact damage related to projectile velocity are determined for the armor components and the armor itself.
