Curve offsets arc utilized in different fields of engineering and science. Additive manufacturing, which lately becomes an explicit requirement in manufacturing industry, utilizes curve offsets widely. One of the necessities of offsetting is for scaling which is required if there is shrinkage after the fabrication or if the surface quality of the resulting part is unacceptable. Therefore, some post-processing is indispensable. But the major application of curve offsets in additive manufacturing processes is for generating head trajectories. In a point-wise AM process, a correct tool-path in each layer can reduce lots of costs and increase the surface quality of the fabricated parts. In this study, different curve offset generation algorithms are analyzed to show their capabilities and disadvantages through some test cases and improvements on their drawbacks are suggested.

Kaydım, Cengiz; Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Mining Engineering (2021-8-31)
Rock mechanics is a fundamental research field of engineering as the mechanical properties of rocks are crucial in mining and civil engineering applications. These properties control main production processes like excavation, drilling, and blasting in addition to geotechnical studies, such as slope stability for surface mining. Experimental studies performed conforming to suggested methods provide essential results representing the mechanical properties of rock material. Within the scope of this thesis stud...
Multi criteria assembly line balancing problem with equipment decisions
Pekin, Nilüfer; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006)
In this thesis, we develop an exact algorithm for an assembly line balancing problem with equipment selection decisions. Two objectives are considered: minimizing the total equipment costs and the number of workstations. Our aim is to choose the type of the equipment(s) in every workstation and determine the assignment of the tasks to each workstation and equipment type. We aim to propose a set of efficient solutions for each problem and leave the choice of the best solution to the decision maker̕s preferen...
