A method and a computer program are developed for modeling of spray painting process, simulation of robotic spray painting, off-line programming of industrial robots and paint thickness measurement for painting of curved surfaces. The computer program enables the user to determine the painting strategies, parameters and paths. Surface models of the parts that are to be painted are obtained by using a CAD software. For paint thickness measurements, probe of the coating thickness measurement gage is attached to the wrist of the robot by using a feedback/safety adapter designed and manufactured for this purpose. Thicknesses are measured and transferred to the computer automatically. Then, obtained thickness data is processed and comparisons between simulated and measured thicknesses are made.

Process modeling, simulation, and paint thickness measurement for robotic spray painting Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Balkan, Raif Tuna (2000-09-01) An algorithm and a computer program are developed for modeling of the spray painting process, simulation of robotic spray painting, and off-line programming of industrial robots for painting of curved surfaces. The computer program enables the user to determine the painting strategies, parameters, and paths which will give the desired paint thickness. Surface models of the parts that are to be painted are obtained by using a computer-assisted design (CAS) software. Models of relatively simple surfaces are f...
Genetic algorithm based aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine rotor blades using a 2-d panel method with a boundary layer solver Polat, Özge; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) This thesis presents an aerodynamic shape optimization methodology for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines. Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum Theory are implemented in order to find maximum power production at a specific wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter. The potential flow solver, XFOIL, provides viscous aerodynamic data of the airfoils. Optimization variables are selected as the sectional chord length, the sectional twist and the blade profiles at root, mid and tip regions of...
Design and performance analysis of a pump-turbine system using computational fluid dynamics Yıldız, Mehmet; Albayrak, Kahraman; Çelebioğlu, Kutay; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, a parametric methodology is investigated to design a Pump-Turbine system using Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD ). The parts of Pump-Turbine are created parametrically according to the experience curves and theoretical design methods. Then, these parts are modified to obtain 500 kW turbine working as a pump with 28.15 meters head. The final design of Pump-Turbine parts are obtained by adjusting parameters according to the results of the CFD simulations. The designed parts of the Pump-Turbi...
Numerical investigation of free surface and pipe flow problems by smoothed particle hydrodynamics Dinçer, Ali Ersin; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) In the present study, a two-dimensional (2D) computer code for free surface and pipe flows is developed by using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach. For free surface flow problem, idealized dam break problems are investigated numerically. The results of three recently published experimental studies are used to validate the numerical solutions. In addition to mesh-free particle method, SPH with a novel boundary treatment model proposed in the present study, mesh-based methods with turbulence and ...
3D synthetic human face modelling tool based on T-spline surfaces Aydoğan, Ali; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis work, a 3D Synthetic Human Face Modelling Software is implemented using C++ and OpenGL. Bézier surfaces, B-spline surfaces, Nonuniform Rational B-spline surfaces, Hierarchical B-Spline surfaces and T-spline surfaces are evaluated as options for the surface description method. T-spline surfaces are chosen since they are found to be superior considering the requirements of the work. In the modelling process, a modular approach is followed. Firstly, high detailed facial regions (i.e. nose, eyes,...
