In this thesis an integrated, dynamic model for cardiovascular and respiratory systems has been developed. Models of cardiopulmonary system, airway mechanics and gas exchange that preexisted in literature have been reviewed, modified and combined. Combined model composes the systemic and pulmonary circulations, left/right ventricles, tissue/lung compartments, airway/lung mechanics and gas transportation. Airway resistance is partitioned into three parts (upper, middle, small airways). A collapsible airways segment and a viscoelastic element describing lung tissue dynamics and a static chest wall compliance are included. Frank-Starling Law, Bowditch effect and variable cerebral flow are also employed in the model. The combined model predictions have been validated by laboratory data collected from two healthy, young, male subjects, by performing dynamic bicycle exercise tests, using “Vmax 229 Sensormedics, Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Instrument”. The transition from rest to exercise under a constant ergometric workload is simulated. The initial anaerobic energy supply, autoregulation and the dilatation of pulmonary vessels are considered. Mean arterial blood pressure and the blood gas concentrations are assumed to be regulated by the controllers of the central nervous system namely, the heart rate and alveolar ventilation. Cardiovascular and respiratory regulation is modeled by a linear feedback control which minimizes a quadratic cost functional.

Development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques for integrated MEMS sensors Yaşınok, Gözde Ceren; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis presents the development of electrochemical etch-stop techniques (ECES) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated MEMS sensors with wet anisotropic etching by applying proper voltages to various regions in silicon. The anisotropic etchant is selected as tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, TMAH, considering its high silicon etch rate, selectivity towards SiO2, and CMOS compatibility, especially during front-side etching of the chip/wafer. A number of parameters affecting the etching are inv...
Mathematical modelling of blood flow through arteries and investigation of some pathological cases in cardiovascular system using Grad-div stabilization Kökten, İsmail Tahir; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Department of Mathematics (2019) In this thesis, we investigate the grad-div stabilization method and its feasibility on the cardiovascular system. Governing equations on blood flow is chosen to be Navier-Stokes and numerical solution is obtained by Galerkin finite element approximation. Grad-div stabilization is known as an effective residual based stabilization method and no study exists about its effect on the cardiovascular system. In this thesis, we present a grad-div stabilized fully discrete scheme with backward Euler time discretiz...
Camera controlled pick and placeapplication with Puma 760 arm Durusu, Deniz; Ersak, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis analyzes the kinematical structure of Puma 760 arm and introduces the implementation of image based pick and place application by taking care of the obstacles in the environment. Forward and inverse kinematical solutions of PUMA 760 are carried out. A control software has been developed to calculate both the forward and inverse kinematics solution of this manipulator. The control program enables user to perform both offline programming and real time realization by transmitting the VAL commands (...
Development of a pc numerical system for high voltage sphere gap control Kasap, Onur; Hızal, Mirzahan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis, a high precision motion and position control system has been developed and applied to a high voltage sphere gap control and measurement system. The system is able to support up to 3-axes position and motion control. The control system includes a microcontroller card, three DC servo motor driver cards and a data storage unit. To provide communication between computer and motion control system, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is used. The microcontroller card is equipped with an USB interf...
On optimal resource allocation in phased array radar systems Ircı, Ayhan; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis, the problem of optimal resource allocation in real-time systems is studied. A recently proposed resource allocation approach called Q-RAM (Quality of Service based Resource Allocation Model) is investigated in detail. The goal of the Q-RAM based approaches is to minimize the execution speed in real-time systems while meeting resource constraints and maximizing total utility. Phased array radar system is an example of a system in which multiple tasks contend for multiple resources in order to...
