Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Toomer, C., Bolouri, A., Thompson, A., & Yalung, F. (2021, June). Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources. Paper presented at Reinventing Space 2021, London

Space debris is a topic of growing concern as the space industry evolves. This paper describes the findings of a new model used to classify the materials used in current orbital objects. It utilises data from sources including ESA’s DISCOS (Database... Read More about Modelling of the materials classification of in-orbit debris using DISCOSweb and other sources.

Effects of shot peening and artificial surface defects on fatigue properties of 50CrV4 steel (2021)
Journal Article
Saklakoglu, N., Bolouri, A., Irizalp, S. G., Baris, F., & Elmas, A. (2021). Effects of shot peening and artificial surface defects on fatigue properties of 50CrV4 steel. International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 112, 2961–2970. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00170-020-06532-y

Shot peening processes are commonly used for improving the fatigue properties of steels. Shot peening introduces a compressive residual stress field in the near surface of steel, which can reduce or stop the growth of fatigue cracks and improve fatig...
