Sandwich structures are known as ultra-light porous materials. Because the structure has advantages in terms of acoustics, fatigue, and impact resistance that conventional stiffened plates cannot match, it has become a popular material in aerospace, automotive, marine, windmill, and architectural applications. One promising method for decreasing production waste and enhancing flexural stress is to employ Additive Manufacture (AM) technologies for sandwich structure manufacturing. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) sandwich structures with reentrant and honeycomb cores were designed and then a finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out to compare the stress distributions in these sandwich composites. According to the findings, higher flexure stresses and specific energy absorption were obtained in the reentrant sandwich structures compared to honeycomb sandwich structures. A minimum equivalent stress value was found in the ABS material, while a maximum equivalent stress value was found in the PLA material.

Geometrical discontinuities in a material such as holes and notches on machine elements are called as critical regions due to the stress concentrations. They are the potential failure initiation locations Therefore, researchers put significant effort on the prediction of the material response in these discontinuities under repetitive loadings. Cyclic plasticity is concerned with the nonlinear material response under cyclic loadings. In this study, numerical cyclic stress – strain response of a plate with a hole was evaluated under the combined loadings which are cyclic bending and tensile loadings. Oxygen Free High Thermal Conductivity (OFHC) Copper alloy was considered as material, and finite element simulations were performed in Marc software. A user defined material subroutine known as Hypela2 was utilized in order to define the material response. The plasticity model used in the present study comprises J2 plasticity along with combined isotropic – kinematic hardening model. Evolution of the backstress was introduced by Armstrong – Frederic type kinematic hardening model. The results were compared with the literature study, and it was seen that presented hardening model provides accurate results in small cyclic strain range.

Polymer composites have various application in automotive industry. Achieving vehicle efficiency in public transportation, among other goals, is often done by lightweight materials like fibre reinforced plastics as structural elements of the vehicle. A concept solution for a V shaped structural floor element of a city bus is proposed in this paper. CAD model of floor structural element has been designed from which, in later phases, construction of complete composite floor will be optimized and designed. Test sample made of hybrid (carbon and glass) fibre composite was produced and tested under the flexural load for comparison with a FEA model. Test sample displacement was measured using a GOM Tritop optical measurement system. Comparison showed that difference between real measurement and FEA for maximal displacement is only 11.7%.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the home insurance sector has suffered from various difficulties. One of the most important difficulties was assessing the damages in the insurance owners’ homes. Due to the current pandemic, letting the experts assess the damages in place is a life-threatening risk. Therefore, the idea of automatically assessing the damage is born. This study aims to create a full report for home damages using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and various large deep learning model architectures such as EfficientNet, ResNet, U-Net, or Feature Pyramid Network (FPN). Multiple models for tasks such as binary classification and instance segmentation were developed to create an end-to-end reporting pipeline. In more detail, the pipeline consists of two binary classification models and a segmentation model. Binary classification models are responsible for detecting if the picture is indoors and if there is a wall in the picture, whereas the instance segmentation model is responsible for segmenting the damaged parts of the wall class. The effectiveness of the pipeline was measured using different metrics for each task, including accuracy, F1, dice, and Intersection over Union (IoU) scores. The data for each task is labeled by hand and fed to models. The results show that the constructed pipeline can successfully classify and segment the given images according to the needs of our project. The project will affect the home insurance assessment procedure and time spent tremendously by automatizing these repetitive processes.

In manufacturing industry, heat treatment is a fundamental requirement for improving the material quality of readily manufactured products. Induction heating technology is repeatable and easily controlled by the advantage of having an electronical control unit. Nowadays, numerical methods have gained so much importance that it become as a reference for the induction heating industry. Experimental methods are costly and time demanding procedures. However, making use of finite element method software, induction heating simulations of a steel gear can be performed relatively cost effective and in a short time. In this paper, induction heating simulation of an AISI 4340 steel gear using FEA software is performed. The effect of variation of inductor frequency and gear workpiece-inductor coil distance on the hardening depth of the gear surface is investigated. The temperature profile of the workpiece is obtained. From the temperature distribution on the steel gear workpiece, the regions of the gear at which the austenitizing temperature (Ac3) - responsible for martensite phase formation- are observed. From the numerical results, hardening profile and hardening depth of the gear is interpreted.

Automotive lighting products, such as Head Lamps (HL), Fog Lamps (FL), Daytime Running Lamps (DRL), face with mechanical vibrations during service life which may coincide with the resonance frequencies of the light source. When excited at resonance frequencies, especially in the case of HL’s, light beam cut-offline may deteriorate and vibration of light beam occurs. This situation is also called light flickering. This state has disturbing effect on the driver’s visibility, which is valid for both the driver and the counter drivers. Most of the automotive manufacturers have developed test specifications for evaluation of flickering state under sinusoidal frequency sweep acceleration loading and they have introduced limits for flickering angle range or displacement range of the light beam with respect to frequency measured on a screen which is put on a prescribed distance from the light source. In this study a traditional way of light beam flickering angle deviation measurement method of HL is presented. Furthermore, application of precise & efficient way of measurement method by the use of quartz rotational accelerometer is inspected.

In this study, the 2D steady-state seepage analysis of the dam body and its base is investigated using the finite element method based on the Galerkin’s approach. The body and foundation soil are considered as homogeneous isotropic and anisotropic materials and the effects of horizontal drainage length and cutoff wall on seepage are investigated. The differential equation governing the response of water in the soil is obtained with the help of Darcy's law and continuity equations. A program has been prepared in Fortran programming language to find the hydraulic load, pressure values and phreatic line pressure values at the points inside the dam body and the quantity of seepage on the bottom of dam. It has been shown that the obtained values are in good agreement by comparing them with the results of existing studies in the literature.

The presence of the oscillating motion in a mechanical system, is vital in terms of the service life. Because the machine elements are under effect of fatigue due to the oscillating motion. The service life of the bearings which are in the forefront among the machine elements subjected to oscillating motion, can be calculated via an equation that depends on several variables, one of which is basic dynamic load rating (C). In this context, basic dynamic load rating (C) is one of the most important factors on estimating the service life. One of where bearing applications used in, is universal joint of driveshaft. A bearing on a universal joint consists of needle roller elements having larger contact area compared to the ball elements. Universal joint bearing is mounted in a bore on a component called yoke part, and so yoke part supports the bearing. In the calculation of basic dynamic load rating for universal joint bearing, effective length of the rolling element is the key factor. In this paper, a new approach to determine the effective length of rolling element used in closed end needle roller bearings of driveshaft has been investigated analytically and the effect of the said approach on the basic dynamic load rating and bearing life has been revealed in terms of ISO 281.
