This thesis presents the computer implementation of a multi resolutional concurrent, design inference network, whose nodes are refined by PNDN (Petri Net Based Design Inference Network) modules. The extended design network is named as N-PNDN and consists of several embedded PNDN modules which models the information flow on a functional basis to facilitate the design automation at the conceptual design phase of an engineering design. Information flow in N-PNDN occurs between parent and child PNDN modules in a hierarchical structure and is provided by the token flow between the modules. In this study, computer implementation of the design network construction and token flow algorithms for the N-PNDN structure is restored and therefore the previous DNS (Design Network Simulator) is adapted for the multi layer design and decomposition of mechatronic products. The related algorithms are developed by using an object oriented, visual programming environment. The graphical user interface is also modified. The further developed DNS has been used for the application of the N-PNDN structure in the conceptual design of 5 mechatronic systems. In the guidance of this study, it has been understood that the further developed DNS is a powerful tool for designers coming from different engineering disciplines in order to interchange their ideas.

Design of a computer interface for automatic finite element analysis of an excavator boom Yener, Mehmet; Söylemez, Eres; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) The aim of this study is to design a computer interface, which links the user to commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program, MSC.Marc-Mentat to make automatic FE analysis of an excavator boom by using DELPHI as platform. Parametrization of boom geometry is done to add some flexibility to interface called OPTIBOOM. Parametric FE analysis of a boom shortens the design stages and helps to find the optimum design in terms of stresses and mass.
Assessment of improved nonlinear static procedures in FEMA-440 Akkar, Dede Sinan; Metin, Ash (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-09-01) Nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) presented in the FEMA-440 document are evaluated for nondegrading three- to nine-story reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame systems. Evaluations are based on peak single-degree-of-freedom displacement, peak roof, and interstory drifts estimations. A total of 78 soil site records and 24 buildings with fundamental periods varying between 0.3 s-1.3 s are used in 2,832 linear and nonlinear response-history analyses to derive the descriptive statistics. The moment magnitu...
Incremental transformation of spatial intelligence from smart systems to sensorial infrastructures Erişen, Serdar (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-01) In addition to the scalability of new computation technologies considering their potentials and limitations, recent applications of embedded computation ensure its possible uses in the scope of urban computing and policymaking strategies. This study examines methods of crowdsourcing with the aim of incremental transformation of the built environment through the experimental exploration of the traditional infrastructure of the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul using a bottom-up research approach. Thus, this study can...
Adaptive Harmony Search Method for Structural Optimization Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Saka, Mehmet Polat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2010-04-01) This paper presents an adaptive harmony search algorithm for solving structural optimization problems. The harmony memory considering rate and pitch adjusting rate are conceived as the two main parameters of the technique for generating new solution vectors. In the standard implementation of the technique appropriate constant values are assigned to these parameters following a sensitivity analysis for each problem considered. The success of the optimization process is directly related on a chosen parameter ...
A Petri Net-based inference network for design automation under nondeterminism applied to mechatronic systems Erden, Zühal; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erden, Abdülkadir (1998-09-11) This paper introduces the completed part of an ongoing research, in which a Petri Net-based design inference network is developed for the representation and analysis of the functions and their interrelationships through information flow for the conceptual design stage of mechatronic systems in order to facilitate design automation. The theoretical framework behind the network is based on transition of Hybrid Automata into Petri Nets and application of this framework is introduced by a mechatronic design exa...
