Publication Effect of structural hybridization on ballistic performance of aramid fabrics(Sage Publications, 2019-06-01) Karahan, Mehmet; Karahan, Nevin; Nasir, Muhammad Ali; Nawab, Yasir; KARAHAN, MEHMET ALİ; KARAHAN, NEVİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu; FEC-4798-2022; AAK-4298-2021This article presents an investigation regarding the ballistic performance of hybrid panels formed by combining woven and unidirectional (UD) para-aramid fabrics. For this purpose, hybrid panels are formed by combining woven and UD para-aramid fabrics with different ply ratios. The hybrid panels formed in this way are subjected to ballistic tests according to National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard. The results show that hybrid panels present 4.48% less trauma depth as compared to 100% woven fabric panels and 3% less trauma diameter as compared to 100% UD fabric panels. Furthermore, 13.9% less energy is transmitted to the back side of hybrid panels as compared to 100% UD fabric panels. The energy absorbed per unit weight in hybrid panels is 8.48% more as compared to 100% woven fabrics. Additionally, in wet conditions, less trauma depth of hybrid panels is observed as compared to both 100% woven and 100% K-Flex UD fabric panels. No significant difference is realized in trauma diameter between hybrid panels and 100% woven fabric panels in wet conditions. However, 3.25% less trauma diameter is noticed in hybrid panels as compared to 100% UD fabric panels.Item Evaluation of photovoltaic panels using different nano phase change material and a concise comparison: An experimental study(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-05) Jamil, Furqan; Ali, Hafiz Muhammad; Nasir, Muhammad Ali; Naseer, Ammar; Ejaz, Ali; Pasha, Riffat Asim; Karahan, Mehmet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu/Tekstil,Giyim,Ayakkabı Ve Deri, Tekstil Teknolojisi.; AAK-4298-2021; 8649952500The cooling techniques of photovoltaic (PV) panels captured special attention due to positive impact on PV panels efficiency as continuous elevation of temperature degraded its performance. A number of studies have suggested the better prospects of air, water and phase change material (PCM) for thermal management of PV modules. The present work studies three different nanoparticle-based nano-PCMs for acceleration in performance of PV panel in terms of temperature reduction and increment of electrical efficiency. The experimental methodology was tested in the outdoor conditions of Taxila, Pakistan during winter seasons by using different concentrations (0.25 wt% and 0.5 wt%) of multiwall carbon nanotubes nanoparticles, graphene nanoplatelets and magnesium oxide nanoparticles in phase change material (PT-58). The topmost performance of PV panel is found at 0.5 wt% nanomaterial concentration in graphene nanoplatelets/PT-58 nano-PCM. The experimental results indicate that maximum temperature reduction is observed to be 9.94 degrees C, 6.53 degrees C for PV/nano-PCM at 0.5 wt% of graphene nanoplatelets/PT-58 nano-PCM and 0.25 wt% of graphene nanoplatelets/PT-58 nano-PCM respectively while it was 5.01 degrees C for PV/PCM with highest observation in electrical efficiency of 12.10%, 11.97% and 11.74% respectively as compared to conventional PV panel. The maximum percentage increase of electrical power was 33.07% in case of GNPs/PT-58 nano-PCM at 0.5 wt% of nanomaterial in base PCM. The graphene nanoplatelets based nano-PCM exhibited best results in terms of temperature reduction as well as electrical efficiency and higher concentration of nanoparticles indicated good results compared to low concentration in nano-PCM.

M.; Khalid, Yasir; Nabeel, Muhammad; Ullah, Mudaser; Karahan, Mehmet; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu/Tekstil, Giyim, Ayakkabı ve Deri Bölümü.; AAK-4298-2021; 8649952500In this study experimental investigation of interlaminar shear strength of glass fibre reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and epoxy based thermosets composites enhanced with multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is presented, and comparison is made between thermoplastic and thermosets composites. Suspension of MWCNTs in TPU and epoxy matrix was prepared using magnetic stirring and sonication technique. Both thermoplastic reinforced glass fibre and thermosets reinforced glass fibre composites were manufactured using hand layup technique. Carbon nanotubes were added in the concentrations of 0.1 %weight, 0.3 %weight and 0.5 %weight in both types of composites. Results showed that as the concentration of CNTs increases, the ILSS of the nanocomposites was also improved. With an addition of 0.5 % weight CNTs, there was improvement of 24.37 % in ILSS in epoxy based composites and 10.05 % enhancement in thermoplastic polyurethane reinforced glass fibre composites. The average ILSS obtained for thermoplastic polyurethane composites was less than that of epoxy composites. The TPU based composites also demonstrated inelastic deformations without any trace of brittle fracture. The pristine epoxy based composites on the other hand did show inelastic deformations followed by brittle fracture. Higher concentrations of MWCNTs led to an absence of brittle fracture during the tests, owing to the crack bridging effect of the CNTs.Item Interdependence of moisture, mechanical properties, and hydrophobic treatment of jute fibre-reinforced composite materials(Taylor & Francis, 2017-01-18) Ameer, Muhammad Haris; Shaker, Khubab; Ashraf, Munir; Nawab, Yasir; Ahmad, Sheraz; Nasir, Muhammad Ali; Karahan, Mehmet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Teknik Bilimler Meslek Yüksekokulu.; AAK-4298-2021; 8649952500Despite cheap and sustainable in nature, the use of natural fiber composites is limited due to their high moisture absorption, poor fiber-matrix interface, and lack of data on evolution of properties when subjected to environmental factor such as temperature and humidity. The aim of this research is to study the interdependence of moisture regain, hydrophobic treatment, and the mechanical properties of jute fiber-reinforced composite materials. Composite samples made from treated and untreated jute fiber-reinforced composites were exposed to humid environment and their moisture regain, mechanical properties and fiber-matrix interface was tested at given time intervals until four weeks. The composites produced with hydrophobic treated reinforcement showed lesser moisture regain and improvement in the tensile and flexural strengths compared to untreated fabric composite. A clear improvement in fiber-resin interface was observed by scanning electronic microscopy. The dynamic mechanical analysis of treated and untreated composites was conducted in a temperature range 20-140 degrees C. An increase in the storage modulus of treated composite materials was noted as compared to untreated ones. Furthermore, it was concluded that developed composite loss their mechanical properties linearly with immersion time. However, this aging was slow in treated fabric composites especially hybrid fluorocarbon and fluorocarbon.
