    Frezeyle tornalamada takımda ortaya çıkan termal deformasyonların modellenmesi
    (Gazi Universitesi Muhendislik-Mimarlik, 2017) Karagüzel, Umut; Bakkal, Mustafa; Budak, Erhan
    Frezeyle tornalama işleminde işlemiş parça doğruluğu ve üretkenliği arttırarak işlem performansını iyileştirmek kesme kuvvetlerini ve takım ucundaki ısı kaynaklı deformasyonları kontrol etmekle mümkündür. Bu çalışmanın amacı frezeyle tornalama sırasında ortaya çıkan ısı kaynaklı deformasyonları belirlemek ve bunları basınçlandırılmış soğuk hava kullanarak azaltmaktır. Kesme kuvvetleri, takım sıcaklıkları ve deformasyonlar sonlu elemanlarla modellenmiş ve deneylerle doğrulanmıştır. Kuru kesme koşullarında bu deformasyonların paso derinliğinin %40’ı kadar olabileceği ve bunun sonlu elemanlarla tahmin edilecebileceği gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca bu deformasyonlar soğuk hava ile %65’e kadar azaltılabilir. Termal deformasyonlara ek olarak çalışmada takım aşınması ve işlenen parçada yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerleri de ölçülmüştür ve özellikle frezeyle tornalamada yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerlerinin taşlamadaki kadar iyi olabileceği gösterilmiştir.

    White-matter changes in early and late stages of mild cognitive impairment
    (Churchill Livingstone, 2020-08) Femir Gürtuna, Banu; Kurt, Elif; Ulaşoğlu Yıldız, Çiğdem; Bayram, Ali; Yıldırım, Elif; Soncu Büyükişcan, Ezgi; Bilgiç, Başar
    Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is characterized by cognitive deficits that exceed age-related decline, but not interfering with daily living activities. Amnestic type of the disorder (aMCI) is known to have a high risk to progress to Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the most common type of dementia. Identification of very early structural changes in the brain related to the cognitive decline in MCI patients would further contribute to the understanding of the dementias. In the current study, we target to investigate whether the white-matter changes are related to structural changes, as well as the cognitive performance of MCI patients. Forty-nine MCI patients were classified as Early MCI (E-MCI, n = 24) and Late MCI (L-MCI, n = 25) due to their performance on The Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT). Age-Related White-Matter Changes (ARWMC) scale was used to evaluate the white-matter changes in the brain. Volumes of specific brain regions were calculated with the FreeSurfer program. Both group and correlation analyses were conducted to show if there was any association between white-matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and structural changes and cognitive performance. Our results indicate that, L-MCI patients had significantly more WMHs not in all but only in the frontal regions compared to E-MCI patients. Besides, ARWMC scores were not correlated with total hippocampal and white-matter volumes. It can be concluded that WMHs play an important role in MCI and cognitive functions are affected by white-matter changes of MCI patients, especially in the frontal regions.

    Measurement and assessment of fatigue life of spot-weld joints
    (Asme-Amer Soc Mechanical Eng, 2009-01) Ertaş, Ahmet Hanifi; Vardar, Öktem; Sönmez, Fazıl Önder; Solim, Zafer
    Spot-weld joints are commonly used to fasten together metal sheets. Because fatigue fracture is the most critical failure mode for these joints under fluctuating loads, understanding their fatigue failure behavior and assessment of their fatigue lives are crucial from the viewpoint of failure prevention in design. In this study, a series of experiments was conducted to study the fatigue failure of spot-welded modified tensile-shear specimens made of a low carbon steel. Two different types of resistance spot welding were investigated (manual and automated). Tests were repeated under different load ranges, and the corresponding fatigue lives were determined. The specimens were also examined under an optical microscope. In the numerical part of this study, a finite element analysis was carried out using commercial software, ANSYS, to determine the stress and strain states within the specimens. The material nonlinearity, local plastic deformations around the welds during loading, and the residual stresses and strains developed after unloading as a result of plastic deformations were taken into account. Based on the predicted stress and strain states, fatigue analyses were performed using several models for life assessment. Then, the measured and predicted fatigue lives were compared, and the suitability of the models was discussed. Among the strain-based models, Coffin-Manson and Morrow's means stress models yielded the best predictions.
