For the purpose of generating 2D curve offsets used in 2.5D machining, four new methods based on morphological operations on different mathematical entities are presented in this paper. All of the methods, which lend themselves for parallel processing, exploit the idea that the boundaries formed by a circular structuring element whose center sweeps across the points on a generator/base curve comprise the entire offsets of the progenitor. The first approach, which is a carry-over from image processing, makes good use of morphological operations on binary images to produce 2D offsets via contour tracing algorithms. The second method, which is to rectify the high memory cost associated with the former technique, utilizes morphological operations on (boundary data) sets. The implementation of this basic technique is illustrated by two Matlab functions given in the paper. Despite its simplicity, the time complexity of this paradigm is found to be high. Consequently, the third method, which is evolved from the preceding one, reduces the time complexity significantly with the utilization of a geometric range search method. This technique, which has a considerable margin for improvement, is found to be suitable to be used as a part of the real-time motion command generator for CNC applications. Unlike the previous schemes, the final approach uses polygon operations to generate such curves. The run-time of this technique is highly governed by the complexity of the polygon overlay algorithm selected. The paper analyzes the complexity of each technique. Finally, the presented methods are evaluated (in terms of run-time and geometric accuracy) via two test cases where most CAD/CAM packages fail to yield acceptable results.

An improved transformation for universal serendipity elements Utku, M (1999-10-01) This paper describes the formulation of shape functions and their derivatives for universal serendipity elements in finite element analysis, which allows for flexibility in locating edge nodes. Universal serendipity elements are defined as isoparametric elements having linear, quadratic and cubic node configurations at their edges in an arbitrary manner. Edge nodes positioned at the same relative distance from corner nodes in both master element and physical element provide improved accuracy over nodes posi...
New design methods for polyhedral linkages Kiper, Gökhan; Söylemez, Eres; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) This thesis analyses the existing types of polyhedral linkages and presents new linkage types for resizing polyhedral shapes. First, the transformation characteristics, most specifically, magnification performances of existing polyhedral linkages are given. Then, methods for synthesizing single degree-of-freedom planar polygonal linkages are described. The polygonal linkages synthesized are used as faces of polyhedral linkages. Next, the derivation of some of the existing linkages using the method given is ...
A parallel ant colony optimization algorithm based on crossover operation Kalınlı, Adem; Sarıkoç, Fatih (Springer, 2018-11-01) In this work, we introduce a new parallel ant colony optimization algorithm based on an ant metaphor and the crossover operator from genetic algorithms.The performance of the proposed model is evaluated usingwell-known numerical test problems and then it is applied to train recurrent neural networks to identify linear and nonlinear dynamic plants. The simulation results are compared with results using other algorithms.

A new approach to shutterless operation of microbolometer based infrared cameras Çavdar, Semih; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-2-03) This thesis presents an algorithm for the shutterless operation of microbolometer based infrared imaging systems. The active material of the microbolometer used in the thesis is vanadium oxide and it is produced in METU MEMS Center. The array size of the microbolometer is 480x640 and pixel pitch is 17 μm. The microbolometer has a CTIA type readout circuit which consists of detector and reference resistance. Voltage values are optimized at steady-state considering interactions between pixels in the focal pla...
