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.

Optimum design of multistep spur gearbox
Öztürk, Fatih Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
Optimum design of multistep gearbox, since many high-performance power transmission applications (e.g., automotive, space industry) require compact volume, has become an important interest area. This design application includes more complicated problems that are not taken into account while designing single stage gear drives. Design applications are generally made by trial and error methods depending on the experience and the intuition of the designer. In this study, using Visual Basic 6.0, an interactive p...
Layout optimization of trusses using simulated annealing
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2000-09-08)
This paper addresses to the development of a simulated annealing (SA) based solution algorithm which is automated to achieve the simultaneous optimum design of truss type structures with respect to size, shape and topology design variables. The proposed algorithm is designed in such a way that together with applicability to practical design problems, it is also aimed at producing efficient and improved design solutions for the problems of interest. From the practicality point of view, the task is chosen as ...
Design of economical noise array experiments for a partially controlled simulation environment
Köksal, Gülser (1998-12-01)
Design of economical experiments for estimation of a response function's moments in a partially controlled laboratory environment is studied. The noise factors affecting the response are assumed to be statistically independent and normally distributed. It is also assumed that if a factor is set to a specific level in the experimentation, its actual value is also a normally distributed random variable with a smaller variance. Experimental design levels of the factors are found by matching first few moments o...
Performance-based parametric design explorations: A method for generating appropriate building components
Ercan, Burak; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira (2015-05-01)
Performance-based parametric design explorations depend on formulating custom-designed workflows that require reading, writing, interpreting and manipulating databases, as part of the design process. The possibilities of customization and parameterization offered by the user-friendly interfaces of advanced building-performance simulation software and digital design tools have now enabled architects to carry out performance-based design explorations without the help of simulation experts. This paper presents...
A Methodology for cross-resolution modeling in DEVS using event-B refinement
Kara, Ahmet; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Alpdemir, Mahmut Nedim; Department of Computer Engineering (2014)
This thesis proposes a software engineering solution for implementing simulations via composition of models at different resolution levels with the help of formal methods. Our solution provides a systematic methodology that offers a well-defined sequence of stages to obtain executable converters for entity resolution mapping, given the types of entity attributes that are exchanged at model interfaces and the mapping specifications. Our methodology relies on Event-B as the formal specification language and D...
