In this thesis, the effect of semi-geodesic winding on the free vibration characteristics of filament wound composite shells of revolution with variable radii of curvature is studied. The analysis is performed by a semi-analytical solution method which is based on the numerical integration of the finite exponential Fourier transform of the fundamental shell of revolution equations. The governing equations for the free vibration analysis are initially obtained in terms of fundamental shell variables, and they are reduced to a system of first order ordinary differential equations by the application of finite exponential Fourier Transform, resulting in a two point boundary value problem. The boundary value problem is then reduced to a series of initial value problems, and the multisegment numerical integration technique is used in combination with the frequency trial method in order to extract the natural frequencies and determine the mode shapes within a given range of natural frequencies. Previous studies on geodesic winding is extended such that the effect of semi-geodesic winding which rely on the preset friction between the fiber and the mandrel surface on the stiffness and vibration characteristics of filament wound shells of revolution is investigated. Additionally, finite element analysis is employed to compare the results obtained from semi-analytical model solved by numerical integration and finite element model solved by finite element method. Sample results are obtained for filament wound truncated conical and spherical shells of revolution and the effect of the winding pattern on the vibration characteristics of shells of revolution is investigated thoroughly.

Navier-Stokes calculations over swept wings Şahin, Pınar; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006) In this study, the non-equilibrium Johnson and King Turbulence Model (JK model) is implemented in a three-dimensional, Navier-Stokes flow solver. The main program is a structured Euler/Navier-Stokes flow solver in which spatial discretization is accomplished by a finite volume formulation and a multigrid technique is used as a convergence accelerator. The aim is the validation of this in-house developed CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tool with this enhanced enlarged capability in order to obtain a relia...
Nonlinear modeling and flight control system design of an unmanned aerial vehicle Karakaş, Deniz; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) The nonlinear simulation model of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in MATLAB®/Simulink® environment is developed by taking into consideration all the possible major system components such as actuators, gravity, engine, atmosphere, wind-turbulence models, as well as the aerodynamics components in the 6 DOF equations of motion. Trim and linearization of the developed nonlinear model are accomplished and various related analyses are carried out. The model is validated by comparing with a similar UAV data in te...
Active vibration control of a smart beam : a spatial approach Kırcalı, Ömer Faruk; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006) This study presented the design and implementation of a spatial Hinf controller to suppress the free and forced vibrations of a cantilevered smart beam. The smart beam consists of a passive aluminum beam with surface bonded PZT (Lead-Zirconate-Titanate) patches. In this study, the PZT patches were used as the actuators and a laser displacement sensor was used as the sensor. In the first part of the study, the modeling of the smart beam by the assumed-modes method was conducted. The model correction techniqu...
Development of a sabot design tool for aeroballistic range testing Kafdağlı, Karaca Efe; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2006) The aim of this thesis is to investigate the general design and analysis principles of sabots and to develop a sabot design tool. Structures which support and align the models in gun bore, and separate without disturbing the flight path of models are called sabots. In the scope of this study, structurally critical regions and loads acting on sabots due to acceleration in the gun are determined. To calculate the loads acting and to size the sabots, approximate relations are derived by the help of strength of...
Multidisciplinary design of an unmanned aerial vehicle wing Sakarya, Arzu; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) In this thesis, the structural design, structural analysis and producibility analysis of an unmanned aerial vehicle wing were performed. Three different wing models, made of different materials, were designed. The wings were aluminum wing model and composite wing models; made of prepreg and wet lay-up. All wings have the same aerodynamic geometry and structural configuration under the same flight conditions. The structural designs of three wings were done by using Unigraphics NX. The finite element modeling...
