In this thesis, the kinematic properties of Single Gimballed Control Moment Gyroscopes (SGCMGs) are investigated. Singularity phenomenon inherent to them is explained. Furthermore, existing steering laws with their derivations are given. A novel steering law is developed that may provide singularity avoidance or may be used for quick transition through a singularity with small torque errors. To avoid singularity angular momentum trajectory of the maneuver is to be simulated in advance for the calculation of singularity free gimbal histories. The steering law, besides accurately generating required torques, also pushes the system to follow trajectories closely if there is a small difference between the planned and the realized momentum histories. Thus, it may be used in a feedback system. Also presented are number of approaches for singularity avoidance or quick transition through a singularity. The application of these ideas to the feedback controlled spacecraft is also presented. Existing steering laws and the proposed method are compared through computer simulations. It is shown that the proposed steering law is very effective in singularity avoidance and quick transition through singularities. Furthermore, the approach is demonstrated to be repeatable even singularity is encountered.

Nonlinear Static Aeroelastic Behaviour of Composite Missile Fin with Interlaminar Damage Özkaya, Özge; Kayran, Altan (2017-09-22) Nonlinear static aeroelastic behavior of a basic composite missile fin is analyzed by means of two-way coupled FSI simulation and the effects of composite damages are presented. The configuration has been simulated by coupling the two commercial solvers ANSYS CFX for the fluid mechanical simulation with ANSYS Mechanical for the structural simulation. 3D composite fin geometry is constructed using ANSYS ACP tool. Interlaminar damage cases were investigated and the influence of the damage locations on the sta...
Trajectory computation of small solid particles released and carried by flowfields of helicopters in forward flight Pekel, Yusuf Okan; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010) In this thesis, trajectory computations of chaff particles ejected from a medium weight utility helicopter are performed using computational fluid dynamics. Since these chaff particles are ejected from a helicopter and carried by its flow field, it is necessary to compute and include the effects of the helicopter flow field in general and engine hot gases, main and tail rotor wakes in particular. The commercial code FLUENT is used for flow field and trajectory computations. Both main rotor and tail rotor ar...
Vector boson production in association with jets at CMS Yalvaç, Metin; ÖCALAN, KADİR (2018-07-06) The production cross section of highly boosted vector bosons (V = W, Z or gamma) recoiling against jets is studied, with CMS data, differentially as function of the transverse momentum and angular correlations of the final state particles. The measurements are confronted with different state-of-the-art theory predictions that include next-to-leading order calculations and matrix-element plus parton shower event simulations.
Speed Control by Sliding Mode of Synchronous Motor Bahi, T.; Lachtar, S.; Soufi, Y.; Lckhchine, S.; Merabet, H. (2011-09-10) This paper presents the results of a simulation for synchronous motor speed control using a Direct Torque Control (DTC). This technique was object of a deep study for synchronous motor drives instead of precise closed loop speed control. However, this technique presents some problems such as, high influence of the motor parameters. The sliding mode controller is a model-based approach used to improve the robustness of the control law despite this influence and to illustrate the good performance of this tech...
Process Development for the Fabrication of a Three Axes Capacitive MEMS Accelerometer Aydemir, Akin; Akın, Tayfun (2015-09-09) This paper presents a new approach for the fabrication of a three-axis capacitive MEMS accelerometer that is capable of differentially sensing the acceleration in all three orthogonal axes. For the first time in literature, differential sensing for the out of plane direction is achieved by defining a movable sensing electrode on the structural layer of the SOI wafer that is sandwiched between two stationary electrodes defined on the glass substrate and the handle layer of the SOI wafer enabling the differen...
