Modeling of a generic laser guided weapon with velocity pursuit guidance and its performance analysis using various control strategies
Güner, Dünya Rauf Levent; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004)
In this thesis, a base for the modeling and analysis of laser guided weapons is constituted. In particular, the effects of several control schemes on the performance of a generic laser guided weapon system are investigated. In this generic model, it is assumed that the velocity pursuit guidance is employed via a velocity aligning seeker as the sole sensor. The laser seeker is modeled experimentally, based on data obtained by conducting a series of tests. The laser reflection is also modeled. Aerodynamic coe...
Automatic target recognition in infrared imagery
Bayık, Tuba Makbule; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
The task of automatically recognizing targets in IR imagery has a history of approximately 25 years of research and development. ATR is an application of pattern recognition and scene analysis in the field of defense industry and it is still one of the challenging problems. This thesis may be viewed as an exploratory study of ATR problem with encouraging recognition algorithms implemented in the area. The examined algorithms are among the solutions to the ATR problem, which are reported to have good perform...
A workflow based online software review system
Çifci, Hasan; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2004)
Software review is an effective and efficient way for detecting defects in software artifacts. To improve the effectiveness and the efficiency of software review, a variety of software review techniques have been developed. Furthermore, computer support has been used to facilitate the software review process. Accordingly, several software review tools have been developed. Although existing tools provide new solutions to support software review, in general they suffer from a number of shortcomings. In this s...
A Combinatorial study on hydrogen separation membranes
Pişkin, Fatih; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018)
Metallic membranes among the hydrogen separation membranes are quite attractive due to their very high hydrogen selectivity and hydrogen permeability. The efforts in metallic membranes generally concentrate on to identify membrane compositions which have a high hydrogen permeability with a reduced cost. Among the metallic membranes, Pd and Pd alloys, i.e. f.c.c. membranes are quite common as separation membranes. However, the high cost of Pd limits its widespread use in industrial applications. The efforts ...
A study on the effects of catalysts on pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of Turkish lignite in oxy-fuel conditions
ABBASI-ATIBEH, Ehsan; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-01)
The catalytic pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of low calorific value Turkish lignite in various ambient conditions were explored and the evolution of gases during pyrolysis tests was examined using a Thermogravimetric Analyzer coupled with a Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer (TGA-FTIR). Potassium carbonate (K2CO3), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2)) and iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) were employed as precursors of the catalysts and compared to the Raw-form (no catalyst added) to investigate the effects ...
