Airborne structures are required to be lightweight in today's designs. However this lowers the overall stiffness of the structure and causes low frequency vibration problems for which passive vibration control techniques are inadequate. Active vibration control using piezoelectric patches is a promising technology to solve vibration problems of aerospace structures. Many studies were done on beam and plate geometries, however studies on cylinder geometry which is used extensively as engineering structure, is relatively rare. In this study, first a cantilever beam is studied to verify the analysis, modeling and control concepts to be used in the cylinder structure since cantilever beam has simpler dynamics. Finite element model of the beam with piezoelectric patch is generated. Control simulations are done on the mathematical model of the cantilever beam derived from the finite element model. Experimental works are carried out on the beam to verify the controller designed in the simulation stage. The second structure studied is a hollow cylinder with piezoelectric patch actuator and sensor pair. This study is an extension of the beam study with the addition of determining the optimal piezoelectric patch placement. Optimal location of piezoelectric patch actuator is determined based on a method that uses the controllability Gramian of the system with piezoelectric patch for the target modes to be controlled. After patch placement control simulations are made to design the controller and verify the placement of actuator. Experimental works are also made over the cylinder to verify the designed controller and the patch placement.

FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF UNIFORM AND ASYMMETRIC COMPOSITE PRETWISTED ROTATING THIN WALLED BEAM Farsadi, Touraj; Şener, Özgün; Kayran, Altan (2017-11-09) Composite pretwisted rotating thin walled beams (TWB) can be used as the structural model for composite helicopter and wind turbine blades for the study of aeroelastic response of the blades. In the present study, semi-analytical solution is performed for the free vibration analysis of uniform and asymmetric composite pretwisted rotating TWB. The approximation of the Green-Lagrange strain tensor is adopted to derive the strain field of the system. The Euler Lagrange governing equations of the dynamic system...
Structural Health Monitoring system of composite beams with surface bonded and embedded Fibre Bragg Grating sensors Deǧerliyurt, Boray; Karataş, Cansu; Şahin, Melin; Yaman, Yavuz (2017-01-15) Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors are frequently being used for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of aerospace structures. One of the most important advantages of using FBG sensors is that it is possible to embed them into composites. In this paper, manufacturing methods of composite specimens with embedded FBG sensors are given. To avoid stress concentrations at ingress/egress regions of fibre optic wires, PTFE (Teflon) tubes were used during manufacturing. Moreover, FBG connectors melt at high curing tem...
Effective flexural rigidities for ordinary reinforced concrete columns and beams AVŞAR, ÖZGÜR; BAYHAN, BEYHAN; Yakut, Ahmet (Wiley, 2014-04-25) Current effective flexural rigidities proposed for use in design and analyses of reinforced concrete structures have been examined. The level of accuracy in the estimation of section rigidity plays a very important role in determining realistic values for the structural stiffness and hence the seismic forces imposed. The most significant parameters influencing the effective rigidity, which reflects the effect of cracking as well as the theoretical yielding of reinforced concrete sections, have been determin...
Experimental Investigation of Viscous Flow Normal to NACA 0012 Airfoil at low Reynolds Numbers Gunaydınoglu, Erkan; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (null; 2018-07-11) The low Reynolds number aerodynamics at high angle of attack is crucial for the design of unmanned aerial vehicles and wind turbine blades. The current study aims to enhance the insight on the near wake of airfoils normal to free stream. The near wake structure on a NACA 0012 airfoil normal to free-stream is measured with particle image velocimetry in the range of Reynolds number 7000 to 20000. The velocity and vorticity fields of the wake structures are studied and further analysis with Proper Orthogonal D...
Experimental Observations of Dynamic Delamination in Curved [0] and [0/90] Composite Laminates Imren, Uyar; Miray, Arca; Burak, Gozluklu; Çöker, Demirkan (null, Springer, 2015-01-01) Curved composite parts are increasingly replacing metal ribs and box structures in recent civil aerospace structures and wind turbine blades. Delamination of L-shaped composite laminates occurs by interlaminar opening stresses in addition to the interlaminar shear stresses at the curved region. An experimental setup is designed to investigate dynamic delamination in L-shaped composite brackets under quasi static shear loading. The materials are unidirectional [0]17and cross-ply [0/90]17 epoxy/graphite compo...
