This study aims to develop a computer program to optimize the performance of loader mechanisms in backhoe-loaders. The complexity and the constraints imposed on the loader mechanism does not permit the use of classical optimization techniques used in the synthesis of mechanisms. Genetic algorithm is used to determine the values of the design parameters of the mechanism while satisfying the constraints and trying to maximize breakout forces that the machine can generate.

Dynamic modelling of a backhoe-loader Kılıç, Boran; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) The aim of this study is to develop a dynamic model of the loader system of a backhoe-loader. Rigid bodies and joints in the loader mechanism and loader hydraulic system components are modelled and analyzed in the same environment using the physical modelling toolboxes inside the commercially available simulation software, MATLAB/Simulink. Interaction between the bodies and response of the hydraulic system are obtained by co-operating the mechanical and hydraulic analyses. System variables such as pressure,...
A software for analysis and design optimization of switched reluctance motor Yalçıner, Levent Burak; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) In this study, development of software, which can analyze and optimize an SRM by accurately calculating its performance, is aimed. Existing methods in the literature are investigated. Some studies for the calculation of performance use 2D field solutions and are known to be accurate; however, using field solutions is not feasible for the optimization purpose. So, a method based on a set of normalized permeance and force data are chosen for prediction of magnetizing characteristics. Selected methods are prog...
An mpeg-7 video database system for content-based management and retrieval Çelik, Çiğdem; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) A video data model that allows efficient and effective representation and querying of spatio-temporal properties of objects has been previously developed. The data model is focused on the semantic content of video streams. Objects, events, activities performed by objects are the main interests of the model. The model supports fuzzy spatial queries including querying spatial relationships between objects and querying the trajectories of objects. In this thesis, this work is used as a basis for the developmen...
Design and performance analysis of a pump-turbine system using computational fluid dynamics Yıldız, Mehmet; Albayrak, Kahraman; Çelebioğlu, Kutay; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, a parametric methodology is investigated to design a Pump-Turbine system using Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ). The parts of Pump-Turbine are created parametrically according to the experience curves and theoretical design methods. Then, these parts are modified to obtain 500 kW turbine working as a pump with 28.15 meters head. The final design of Pump-Turbine parts are obtained by adjusting parameters according to the results of the CFD simulations. The designed parts of the Pump-Turbi...
3-D humanoid gait simulation using an optimal predictive control Özyurt, Gökhan; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) In this thesis, the walking of a humanoid system is simulated applying an optimal predictive control algorithm. The simulation is built using Matlab and Simulink softwares. Four separate physical models are developed to represent the single support and the double support phases of a full gait cycle. The models are three dimensional and their properties are analogous to the human̕s. In this connection, the foot models in the double support phases include an additional joint which connects the toe to the foot...
