A reconfigurable and deployable mechanism is proposed for a canopy which can also be used as a tent or a semi-open structure. The proposed single degree-of-freedom mechanism has four assembly modes. The conditions for deployment and reconfiguration of the mechanism are derived. These conditions impose three equality and two inequality constraints on the 11 design parameters of the mechanism. A virtual model of the mechanism is constructed in Excel for design and simulation purposes. A computational case study is presented.

Kinematic synthesis of flight control systems for light aircrafts Yaman, Yavuz; Soylemez, E (2002-01-01) In this paper, kinematic synthesis of a planar flight control system mechanism has been conducted for a light aircraft designed and built by TAL To achieve a simple construction, the four-bar linkages are used in the synthesis. Freudenstein's Method and Bloch's Method are utilized for analytical three and four bar position syntheses respectively. A case study of an elevator flight control system is presented.
Game theoretic colony control of holonic robots inspecting inner surfaces of pipes Guciz, AE; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet (2000-03-02) The purpose of this work is to plan and control task oriented configuration changes in a metamorphic robotic system, formed by a colony of axisymmetric holons moving to inspect pipe inner surfaces. The metamorphic robotic system in question, is a reconfigurable robotic structure made up of identical, independently controlled, mechatronic modules (holons) constituting a colony. The holons in that colony have very limited individual task abilities and are only capable of connecting, disconnecting and rotating...
Ring Beam Stiffness Criterion for Column-Supported Metal Silos Topkaya, Cem (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-12-01) Cylindrical metal silos are commonly elevated to provide access space beneath to directly discharge the contained materials into transportation systems. Evenly spaced column supports are commonly utilized. In larger silos, the discrete forces from supports are more evenly transferred and distributed into the cylindrical shell wall by using a ring beam. A fundamental assumption in the design of the silo shell is that the meridional compressive stresses are relatively uniformly distributed around the circumfe...
Parameters correlation study to investigate the effects of geometric variables on the safety of bolted flange connections Yildirim, Alper; Akay, Ahmet Arda; Gulasik, Hasan; Çöker, Demirkan; Gürses, Ercan; Kayran, Altan (null; 2015-09-12) Bolted flange connections are commonly utilized structures in aircraft engine designs by means of assembling two or more circular casings to each other. Minimizing the weight of the structure without compromising the safety is the main intention in the design of bolted flange connections. Bolt size, the number of bolts used, bolt locations, casing thickness, and flange thickness are the critical geometric parameters that drive the design. Determining the significance of the geometrical parameters aids in bo...
Multiple Aspect Design of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Wing Arzu, Kayır; Yaman, Yavuz (2011-09-14) The design of aircraft structures is a critical issue, because the structure has to provide enough strength while keeping the weight minimum. In order to achieve a successful design, the aircraft structures must meet all design requirements in addition to satisfying the optimal weight criteria. Materials selection affects the structural design, weight and strength. The material also has a direct impact on production technique and the overall cost. In this study, three different candidate materials were stud...
