In this thesis, an error analysis based method is proposed to calculate single shot hit probability (PSSH) values of a fire control system. The proposed method considers that a weapon and a threat are located in three dimensional space. They may or may not have relative motion in three dimensions with respect to each other. The method accounts for the changes in environmental conditions. It is applicable in modeling and simulation as well as in top down design of a fire control system to reduce the design cost. The proposed method is applied to a specific fire control system and it is observed that PSSH values highly depend on the distance between the weapon and the threat, hence they are time varying. Monte Carlo simulation is used to model various defense scenarios in order to evaluate a heuristic developed by Gülez (2007) for weapon-threat assignment and scheduling of weapons’ shots. The heuristic uses the proposed method for PSSH and time of flight computation. It is observed that the difference between the results of simulation and heuristic depends on the scenario used.

Control allocation against actuator failures in overactuated small satellites Kahraman, Özgür; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007) In this thesis, attitude control of small satellites with dissimilar actuator is studied and the effects of control allocation methods on maneuvering are examined in detail. Magnetorquers and reaction wheels are considered as the actuators of a modeled remote sensing -nadir pointing- small satellite. Matlab® Simulink simulation models are developed to model the satellite dynamics and the actuators on the satellite. The simulations are based on conceptual RASAT satellite, and, for verification, orbit data is...
New approaches for performance evaluation using data envelopment analysis Özpeynirci, Nail Özgür; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2004) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) assigns efficiency values to decision making units (DMU) in a given period by comparing the outputs with the inputs. In many applications, inputs and outputs of DMUs are monitored over time. There might be a time lag between the consumption of inputs and production of outputs. We develop approaches that aim to capture the time lag between the outputs and the inputs in assigning the efficiency values to DMUs. We present computational results on randomly generated problems as w...
Gauge covariance and spin-current conservation in the gauge-field formulation of systems with spin–orbit coupling Shikakhwa, M S; Turgut, Sadi; Pak, N K (IOP Publishing, 2012-2-23) The question of gauge covariance in the non-Abelian gauge-field formulation of two space-dimensional systems with spin-orbit coupling relevant to spintronics is investigated. Although these are generally gauge-fixed models, it is found that for the class of gauge fields that are spacetime independent and satisfy a U(1) algebra, thus having a vanishing field strength, there is a residual gauge freedom in the Hamiltonian. The gauge transformations assume the form of a space-dependent rotation of the transform...
Severity Estimation of Interturn Short Circuit Fault for PMSM Qi, Yuan; Bostancı, Emine; Zafarani, Mohsen; Akin, Bilal (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-09-01) This paper presents a novel method to estimate the number of shorted turns in a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) following the detection of interturn short-circuit (ITSC) fault and its location. In this proposed method, PMSM is excited through a low sinusoidal voltage at standstill condition to obtain the winding resistance and synchronous inductance by current response. It is shown that the ITSC fault introduces variation in the current response, which can be used to calculate the number of shor...
Q-Adaptation of SVD-aided UKF Algorithm for Nanosatellite Attitude Estimation Hacızade, Cengiz; Söken, Halil Ersin; Guler, Demet Cilden (2017-01-01) In this study, we propose process noise covariance matrix adaptation (Q-adaptation) for the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) aided Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm. The main aim is to make the algorithm adaptive against the changes in the process noise covariance. The SVD-aided Adaptive UKF (SaAUKF) estimates the attitude and attitude rate of a nano satellite. We implement the SVD method in the algorithm's first phase using magnetometer and sun sensor measurements. It estimates the attitude of the ...
