This thesis analyses a maintenance optimization problem of a critical unit used in military systems. It is aimed to model the stochastic deterioration behavior of these units and develop some maintenance policies. For this purpose, periodic inspection times which maximize expected time to failure are proposed to be able to provide preventive maintenance before failures. In the scope of this work, resistance measurements from the field are gathered for ten months. First, functions representing the increase in resistance are obtained. Then they are transformed into the deterioration condition of the unit. Then optimal maintenance policies depending on these conditions are found for various objectives using Markov models.

Parameter optimization of chemically activated mortaars containing high volumes of pozzolan by statistical design and analysis of experiments Aldemir, Başak; Saatçioğlu, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) This thesis illustrates parameter optimization of early and late compressive strengths of chemically activated mortars containing high volumes of pozzolan by statistical design and analysis of experiments. Four dominant parameters in chemical activation of natural pozzolans are chosen for the research, which are natural pozzolan replacement, amount of pozzolan passing 45 æm sieve, activator dosage and activator type. Response surface methodology has been employed in statistical design and analysis of experi...
Production and stock management under manufacturer and customer driven substitution Töre, Nurşen; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Department of Industrial Engineering (2014) In this thesis, the stock management problem of a manufacturer is studied in the presence of product substitution flexibility. The study consists of two parts. In the first part, the manufacturer's joint production scheduling and product substitution decisions are analyzed. It is assumed that there are multiple substitutable items and for each item, and inventory is kept separately. If upon demand arrival, stock is not available, then demand is backordered. Depending on the inventory level, it is possible t...
Goal oriented modeling of situation awareness in a command and control system Soğancı, Hasan Ali; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) This thesis presents a preliminary goal oriented modeling of situation awareness in a command and control system. Tropos, an agent oriented software development methodology, has been used for modeling. Use of Tropos allows us to represent, at the knowledge level, the Command and Control actors along with their goals and interdependencies. Through refinement we aim to derive an architectural design for the Situation Awareness component of an Air Defense Command and Control system. This work suggests that goa...
Comparison of methods for robust parameter design of products and processes with an ordered categorical response Bacanlı Karabulut, Gonca; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2013) Robust design of products or processes with categorical response has more momentous role in industrial experiments for quality improvements, because ordinal categorical quality characteristics are encountered more frequent than continuous ones in industry. In this study, five optimization methods for an ordered categorical response are compared with each other: Logistic Regression Model Optimization (LRMO), Accumulation Analysis (AA), Weighted Signal-to-noise Ratio (WSNR), Scoring Scheme (SS), and Weighted ...
Advanced readout and control electronics for mems gyroscopes Temiz, Yüksel; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) This thesis reports the development of advanced readout and control electronics for MEMS gyroscopes developed at METU. These gyroscope electronics are separated into three main groups: high sensitive interface circuits, drive mode amplitude controlled self oscillation loops, and sense mode phase sensitive amplitude demodulators. The proposed circuits are first implemented with discrete components, and then integrated on CMOS chips. A self oscillation loop enabling constant amplitude drive mode vibrations in...
