Although electromagnetic launchers (EMLs) are superior to classical gun-powder-based launchers, they have to withstand extreme electrical and mechanical conditions. Therefore, the optimal design and precise simulations of these devices are crucial. In this article, a new simulation strategy for EMLs is proposed in order to achieve high accuracy and reduced complexity. The inductance and electromotive force (EMF) variations in the transient, which have a considerable influence on the launch process, are modeled using the finite element method (FEM) coupled with electrical circuit simulation. The proposed method has a good agreement with the experimental results of two EMLs (EMFY-1 and EMFY-2), which have 25- and 50-mm square bores and 3-m-length launchers. The study showed that the hybrid model with transient inductance and EMF calculations showed a good agreement with experiments that have 625 kJ-3.241-MJ input energies

A systematic study on MOS type radiation sensors
Yilmaz, Ercan; Kaleli, Buket; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2007-11-01)
Radiation sensors based on metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) structure are useful because of their superior sensitivity as well as excellent compatibility with the existing microelectronic technology. In this paper, a systematic study of MOS capacitors built on p- and n-type Si substrates with different SiO2 thicknesses (10 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm and 240 nm) is presented. MOS device response to gamma radiation up to 256 Gray have been studied from the sensor application point of view. Variation of the radiation in...
Armature Shape Optimization of an Electromagnetic Launcher Including Contact Resistance
Ceylan, Doga; Gudelek, Mehmet Ugur; Keysan, Ozan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-10-01)
Barrel and pulsed power supply modules are two crucial parts of an electromagnetic launcher (EML), in terms of overall efficiency. One of the most important features of the barrel side is the armature geometry. In this paper, the shape of the armature of an EML with 10-MJ current pulse generator, 1000-kA peak current, and 4.5-ms excitation time is optimized by using independent variables to define the exact geometry of the armature. The main goal is to maximize the muzzle kinetic energy of the projectile wi...
Transient Modeling Techniques for the Analysis of Electromagnetic Launchers
Tosun, Nail; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-7)
Although electromagnetic launchers (EMLs) are better than gun-powder-based launchers, they have to endure severe electrical and mechanical conditions. Therefore, the optimal design and accurate simulations of these devices are essential. The inductance and electromotive force (EMF) variations in the transient, which significantly impact the launch process, are modeled. Moreover, velocity skin effect (VSE) is added to the EML calculations in an effective way. Commercial finite element software cannot solve t...
Microprocessing by intense pulsed electron beam
Goktas, H; Kirkici, H; Oke, G; Udrea, AV (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2002-10-01)
Generation of intense electron beams by superposing two discharges, namely, a low-pressure dc glow discharge and a high-current pulsed discharge at pressures and voltages very similar to that of the pseudospark gap devices, has been studied. The small beam diameter, high peak current, and short pulse length are the characteristics of the electron beam generated using this technique. This technique does not require high vacuum facilities, and applications such as microprocessing, X-ray generation, and preion...
Monte Carlo calculation of the de-excitation of fission fragments of Cf-252(sf) within multimodal random neck rupture model
Buyukmumcu, Z.; Kildir, M. (American Physical Society (APS), 2006-11-01)
The multimodal random neck rupture model has been employed to study the energy distribution in nuclear fission. Monte Carlo calculations have been carried out on the de-excitation of fission fragments of Cf-252(sf) using this model. In this study special attention has been paid to the law of conservation of energy. Results for the neutron multiplicities and kinetic energies, average gamma energies are in good agreement with the experimental data. Mass and charge distributions of secondary fission fragments ...
