    Manufacture and testing of air springs used in railway vehicles
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2019-09-01) Sarıoğlu, Burhan; Durmuş, Ali; DURMUŞ, ALİ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi; HSW-1880-2023
    In this study, the mechanical properties of the air spring used in secondary suspension systems in railway vehicles have been experimentally determined. Firstly, rubber recipes with different components were determined for the production of rubber material, the main raw material of the air spring. Afterward, the mechanical properties of the elastomer material to be used in the manufacture of the air spring were determined by uniaxial tensile tests and RPA (rubber process analyzer) tests were applied to the samples obtained from different types of rubber compound. The machines used for the production of air spring and the test machines used for determining the mechanical properties of the air springs were specially produced and commissioned within the scope of the study. Blasting, airtightness, lifting-expansion, vertical spring coefficient, horizontal spring coefficient and lifetime tests were carried out by using these test machines.

    Frontal impact sled testing of a new designed vehicle seat track bracket
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021-07-22) Deveci, Ömer Osman; Durmuş, Ali; DURMUŞ, ALİ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü.; 0000-0003-2487-7344; HSW-1880-2023
    In this paper, weight reduction methods were studied in a seat track used in a passenger cars front seats. One of front seat, which has passed regulation tests and has been verified by the finite element model, a monoblock riser bracket design has been developed instead of the existing individual brackets. The bracket geometry has determined by topography optimization. The final model was created by updating the design of the resulting model in terms of manufacturability. Finite element analyses were performed in Altair HyperWorks according to the regulation conditions. The design was validated in static and dynamic tests, including crash tests. Comparing with the existing parts, 26.7% weight has been reduced as a result of the study.

    Stress-constrained infill optimization in additive manufacturing for the armrest of an office chair
    (Gazi Üniversitesi, 2021-01-01) Kuş, Süleyman; Durmus, Ali; DURMUŞ, ALİ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü.; 0000-0002-5037-1120
    In this research; an armrest of an office chair is studied by Fused Deposition Modeling, while ensuring requirements of TS EN 1335 are met in each one of design, analysis, optimization and testing phase. The effect of two different optimization studies for the interior volume of the armchair model was investigated. In the first optimization study, an appropriate outer section thickness and cellular size change when the inner filling of the armrest shows a homogeneous distribution. In another optimization study, a regional density optimizations evaluated wherein regions having a high tension on the armrest model are defined with a homogeneous low density, relative to other regions with a fuller density. According to the finite element analysis results of the homogeneous density models with 50% occupancy; In armrest models with close weight, reductions in von-Mises stresses ranging from 29% to 36% have occurred for various load conditions. However, a suitable alternative that did not exceed the safe limit stress values established by reference to tensile and bending tests could not be obtained. In the regional density optimization study, the von-Mises stress value is obtained approximately 20% lower over four test loads than the best alternative with homogeneous density, and a suitable result is obtained according to the safe limit stress values with this model. This armrest model with the appropriate result has been produced and subjected to validation tests. As a result of the tests, it has been determined that the model fulfills the required requirements.
