Abstract: In this study, quasi-static punch shear behavior of aramid epoxy composites was investigated both numerically and experimentally. Firstly, material model parameters used in numerical simulations were obtained by various mechanical tests such as tensile, compression, and in-plane shear tests. Different damage mechanisms that were observed during each test were the focus of interest. Then quasi-static punch shear test was performed and verified with numerical simulations. After the verification of mater… Show more
“…This parameter is effective in terms of the penetration behavior of a sample. 16,21,22 SPR was 2 (D span = 25.4 mm and D punch = 12.7 mm) throughout experimental studies. Force-displacement curves were obtained at the end of the tests, and energy absorbed by the samples was calculated by software using the integration below: Figure 2.

The quasi-static punch shear behaviors of thermoplastic composites with different polymer matrices and fiber types were investigated. This study was also focused on how much energy absorption capability can be increased by low fiber fractions. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MA-g-PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (MA-g-ABS) were used as the matrix material. One layer of aramid, carbon and glass fiber plain weave fabrics was used as the reinforcement material. Quasi-static punch shear test (QS-PST) was applied to the samples to understand the penetration behavior of the samples. The damaged areas were investigated and related to force-displacement curves. The results showed that the neat form of MA-g-PP exhibited 158% more energy absorption than the neat form of MA-g-ABS. In the samples containing one layer of fabric, the highest improvement was observed in the aramid fabric-reinforced MA-g-ABS matrix composites. Aramid fabric increased the energy absorption at a rate of 142.3% in comparison to the neat MA-g-ABS, while carbon fiber fabric and glass fiber fabric increased it by 40% and 63.52%, respectively. Aramid fiber fabric provided no significant improvement in the energy absorption in the MA-g-PP matrix composites, while carbon and glass fiber fabrics contributed to energy absorption at a rate of 48% and 41%, respectively.

“…For this reason, when investigating the mechanical properties of a 3D-printed impeller, it is very important to perform a shear test to determine its shear strength. For this purpose, the quasi-static punch shear test (QS-PST), which is mainly used to determine the shear strength of fiber composites, 29,30 was preferred in our study. The similarity between the texture of these FDM parts and that of fiber and resin composites motivated us to perform these tests.…”
The fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique which is one of the 3D printing technologies was used to produce a centrifugal pump impeller. The fabrication and investigation of the impeller were preferred because of its complex geometry and the difficulties encountered in its production. The most commonly used ABS, HIPS, PLA, and carbon fiber filaments were preferred to compare and determine the most suitable material for the production of the impellers. Firstly, mechanical test specimens from four different materials were printed in the 3D printer according to standards. Then the tensile tests and quasi-static punch shear tests (QS-PST) were applied to determine the mechanical properties of the 3D printed parts. Also, the mechanical tests were repeated to some specimen with the different fillings to define the optimum fill rates. Secondly, the impellers were fabricated from four materials by using the 3D printer in determined fill rates. Then, these impellers were mounted in the actual pump system, and pump performance tests were performed. In the pump performance tests, the head, pump efficiency, and electric power parameters were measured against the flow rate for each impeller. Finally, the mechanical properties and pump performance of the impellers compared with the GG25 cast iron impeller which is produced by traditional technique. As a result, PLA was selected as the most appropriate material for the production of the impellers. Furthermore, PLA showed superior performance compared to others when price, production time, and product weight parameters were considered.
“…In addition, in recent years, experimental and numerical applications of QS-PST have been increasing in composite materials, which have replaced metals due to their light weight and high strength properties. (Ayten et al 2020;Salman et al 2018). Although the QS-PST looks similar to punching, which is a mechanical forming method, it is a different test method as it tests material resistance using different pitch-to-punch ratios (SPR) and different punch tip geometries (flat, conical, and pyramidal).…”
In this study, Quasi-Static Punch Shear Test (QS-PST) for AISI-304 stainless steel sheet material with 0.5 mm thickness was performed experimentally and numerically, then the results were compared. QS-PST was designed non-standard according to the need and is especially used to determine the puncture resistance of composite plate materials against lowspeed loading. Since the results obtained from QS-PST are similar to those from ballistic tests, this has attracted the attention of researchers. The experimental study was carried out by integrating the die and punch which were specially produced for this test, into an electromechanical tensile-compression test device with a capacity of 100 kN. In order to define the material properties correctly in numerical analysis, the tensile tests of the relevant material were also carried out with the same device. Then, the CAD model of the experimental system was generated and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed. In FEA, the mesh structure was determined as tetrahedral, since it gave closer results in such tests and the analyzes were performed by increasing the number of mesh from 16700 to 151800 elements. Finally, the experimentally and numerically obtained results were compared and it was observed that the result were very close depending on increasing the number of mesh.
