Development of a general interface model

Development of UAV-based pavement crack identification system using artificial intelligence Ersöz, Ahmet Bahaddin; Pekcan, Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) Building an accurate, robust and timely working Pavement Crack Identification System (PCIS) is one of the challenging components of Pavement Management Systems (PMSs). The ultimate aim of PCIS is to have autonomous inspection methods integrated into PMS. This way a modern PCIS may replace the currently used methods to eliminate their shortcomings such as being labor intensive, biased and time consuming. With the recent introduction of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), engineering research studies are incline...
Development and application of a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate semi-implicit hydrodynamic model Sankaranarayanan, S.; Ward, Matthew C. (Elsevier BV, 2006-09-01) The Late Quaternary sedimentation and structural features of the continental shelf of Antalya Bay (SW Turkey) have been investigated using a single channel high-resolution shallow profiling system. Two seismic units denoted as unit 1 and unit 2 bounded by two major unconformities (R-1 and R-2) have been identified. R-1 and R-2 are type-1 sequence boundaries that formed under sub-aerial conditions during the Late Quaternary sea level lowstands. An acoustic basement (AB) is recognized in the study region; it ...
Design of a secondary packaging robotic system Şahin, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) The use of robotic systems in consumer goods industry has increased over recent years. However, food industry has not taken to the robotics technology with the same desire as in other industries due to technical and commercial reasons. Difficulties in matching human speed and flexibility, variable nature of food products, high production volume rates, lack of appropriate end-effectors, high initial investment rate of the so-called systems and low margins in food products are still blocking the range of use ...
Demonstration of a stabilized hovering platform for undergraduate laboratory Çamlıca, Fahri Buğra; Erden, Abdülkadir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) This research work covers the design, manufacture and testing of an unmanned aerial vehicle for the purpose of testing various control systems by undergraduate students in the laboratory environment. The aerial vehicle under consideration is a four-rotor propeller powered. Aluminum rod based mechanical structure is preferred. The stabilization of the hovering vehicle in its rotational axes in the air and navigation about the yaw axis are the accomplished goals of this study. The aerial vehicle is run in rea...
Development of interior ballistic simulation software Danış, Faik; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Ak, M. Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In this study, an interior ballistic simulation program is constructed for solid propellant conventional guns. In accordance with this purpose, interior ballistic calculations are studied numerically and two numerical models are produced: zero dimensional model and one dimensional model. Zero dimensional model, which is based on lumped parameter approach, examines variation of ballistic parameters with ignition of propellant grains in order to find muzzle velocity. In one dimensional code, the problem is mo...
