Investigation of turbulence models used in automotive industry
Taştan, Umur; Çetinkaya, Tahsin Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
In this study; reliability and performance of turbulence models used in CFD softwares to determine the aerodynamics of passenger cars, are tested and compared. In the analyses, drag forces acting on the car, pressure and velocity distributions and wake flow patterns are determined by using several turbulence models with a commercial software Fluent. Calculated results compared to the experimental results given in the literature. It is observed that, turbulence models give relatively reliable results for det...
The Role of in-house automotive designers in the automotive industry in Turkey
Yazıcı, Barış; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2013)
This thesis investigates the roles of automotive designers currently working in the design departments of companies in the automotive industry in Turkey. The thesis aims to give a full account of the roles that in-house automotive designers currently partake in companies, how they are situated in the companies and their relationships to other participants in the design process. The study includes face-to-face interviews conducted with a total of 24 participants, including in-house automotive designers, auto...
Optimization of ride comfort for vehicles equipped with passive and active hydro-pneumatic suspensions
Sağlam, Ferhat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
The main objective of this study is the optimization of ride comfort performance of vehicles equipped with Hydro-Pneumatic (HP) suspension systems. In order to improve ride comfort performance together with handling behavior as a constraint, active-passive, and unconnected-interconnected HP suspension systems are included in the study. The basic HP suspension model is developed and validated by experiments. Various HP suspension systems of increasing complexity are modeled, and their dynamic characteristics...

Analysis of whiplash during rear crash and development of an anti-whiplash seat mechanism
Özdemir, Mustafa; İder, Sıtkı Kemal; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Whiplash injury is one of the most important types of injuries when its resulting longterm pain is considered. This neck injury is frequently seen in the motor vehicle collisions, especially in the low-speed rear collisions. In this thesis, it is aimed to analyze the whiplash syndrome in low-speed rear-end impacts and develop an antiwhiplash seat mechanism that reduces the risk of occurrence of whiplash injuries. Firstly, using the commercially available finite element model of the BioRID II dummy, backset ...
