This thesis analyses the lightning protection concept. After a brief introduction to lightning, lightning discharge process and the consequences of a lightning stroke, the worldwide standards for the protection of structures against lightning are analysed and compared in the scope of requirement for the lightning protection. The lightning protection systems since Franklin are traced and the protection methods are re-arranged in the basis of rolling sphere method. after discussing the changing philosophy in lightning protection, cage method is examined and applications of cage method are done according to different protection levels. This thesis seek an answer to the question such that which the safest method for the protection of structures against lightning according to new requirements would be.

Parameter extraction and image enhancement for catadioptric omnidirectional cameras Baştanlar, Yalın; Çetin, Yasemin; Department of Information Systems (2005) In this thesis, catadioptric omnidirectional imaging systems are analyzed in detail. Omnidirectional image (ODI) formation characteristics of different camera-mirror configurations are examined and geometrical relations for panoramic and perspective image generation with common mirror types are summarized. A method is developed to determine the unknown parameters of a hyperboloidal-mirrored system using the world coordinates of a set of points and their corresponding image points on the ODI. A linear relati...
Investigation of electromagnetic wave propagation in double negative materials Şen, Saffet Gökçen; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) This thesis analyzes some aspects of electromagnetic wave propagation in double negative materials. Double negative materials have negative refractive indices. They are backward-wave materials. Plane waves undergo negative refraction at interfaces between double positive and double negative media. Causality principle implies these properties. High frequency plane wave scattering from a double negative infinitely long cylinder has been analyzed by using modified Watson transform, geometrical optics and Mie s...
A Compact Energy Transducer for Power Generation From Respiration Beyaz, Mustafa Ilker; Habibiabad, Sahar; Yildiz, Hamza; Goreke, Utku; Azgın, Kıvanç (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-06-01) This paper reports a compact magnetic transducer developed for generating electrical power from respiration. The device incorporates a side-drive turbine rotor with embedded permanent magnets and two stators, integrated into a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) package for actuation. The novelty and advantage of the design lies in almost full use of the available turbine volume together with two stators for both mechanical and electrical transduction, which leads to high rotational speeds and high voltage gen...
Control law partitioning applied to beam and ball system Koçak, Elif; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) In this thesis different control methods are applied to the beam and ball system. Test setup for the previous thesis is handled, circuit assemblies and hardware redesigned. As the system is controlled by the control law partitioning method by a computer, discrete time system model is created. The controllability and the observability of the system are analyzed and a nonlinear controller by using control law partitioning in other words computed torque is designed. State feedback control algorithm previously ...
A Reconfigurable Nested Ring-Split Ring Transmitarray Unit Cell by Microfluidic Technology Erdil, Emre; Topalli, Kagan; Esmaeilzad, Nasim Seyedpour; Zorlu, Ozge; Külah, Haluk; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2014-04-11) This paper presents a reconfigurable circularly polarized transmitarray unit cell by microfluidic technology. The unit cell comprises double layer nested ring-split rings formed as microfluidic channels in the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material using soft lithography techniques. In this structure, only the inner ring has a split region and this region is realized by leaving a gap in the channel filled by an injected liquid metal whereas the outer channel is filled by the liquid metal. Transmission phase o...
