For aviation applications, the noise and vibration cancellation is so important that there are many damping methods and applications used in the field. In military configurations the weight and the visual elegance is not so important that even a blanket may solve the problem. In civil configurations, on the other hand, there should be a lightweight solution for vibration damping. For this reason, since shell structures are widely used on aerospace applications, it is common to use surface damping solutions on aircrafts. Because, surface damping treatments are generally used on shell structures, such as plates and beams, where transverse vibrations problems are critical and resonant frequency vibrations are dominant in a wide broadband due to low thickness. In this thesis study, different novel designs for surface damping treatments are studied and compared by means of their effectiveness. A fuselage like structure is designed and validated by finite element modelling and by experimental results in order to estimate the damping solution effect on application point. Furthermore, due to broadband random vibrations induced on fuselage geometry, a metric is suggested considering the loading condition in order to estimate damping effectiveness. In literature it is seen that in order to increase damping performance, a layer with reduced density and elastic modulus, a spacer layer, is added to the surface damping treatments. By this spacer layer addition, the viscoelastic layer can be shifted away from neutral axis which increases the induced shear strain hence damping performance. Due to high performance low additional weight, standoff damping treatment, a slotted and a sophisticated version of space layered surface damping treatments, is generally used in aerospace structures. With the help of literature and previously optimized spacer geometries for beams, six novel designs are suggested through finite element models and their damping effectiveness are compared with commonly used configurations and adapted versions.

Design of a Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Motor for Micro-Robotic Application Akın, Tayfun; Başaran, Dilek; Erden, Abdülkadir (null; 2002-09-05) In a piezoelectric ultrasonic motor, exciting at least two orthogonal mechanical vibration modes of the composite stator using single or orthogonal multiple high frequency AC signals generates a mechanical vibration on the stator surface. The rotor is pressed against the stator's surface and a rotation is produced by frictional interaction between the touching stator and rotor surfaces. Piezoelectric ultrasonic motors, which have superior characteristics like; high torque at low speed, frictional locking at...
Development and evaluation of new bleed boundary condition models for supersonic inlet boundary layer bleed flow Akar, Gökhan; Eyi, Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) Shock wave/boundary layer interaction is an important issue that should be considered when studying supersonic inlet design for air vehicles. Porous bleed systems have traditionally been used for increase stability and efficiency of the supersonic inlets by means of removing the lower momentum part of the boundary layer to prevent flow separation caused by adverse pressure gradient. However, evaluating and determining the effect of the boundary layer bleed system on the performance of the supersonic inlet i...
Enhancement of the reliability of MEMS shock sensors by adopting a dual-mass model Fathalilou, Mohammad; Soltani, Kamran; Rezazadeh, Ghader; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) MEMS shock sensors are widely used with applications ranging from aircraft to electrical measurement systems. They are designed to operate at the shocks above a predefined threshold level. The conventional single-mass switches may lose their reliability at shock levels smaller than the threshold, if experience smaller unwanted pulse duration. This paper has proposed a dual-mass switch with auxiliary mass-spring attached to the main system which increases the reliability of the sensor against the unwanted pu...
Aspects of HF radio propagation Warrington, E.

(2009-06-01) The propagation characteristics of radio signals are important parameters to consider when designing and operating radio systems. From the point of view Working Group 2 of the COST 296 Action, interest lies with effects associated with propagation via the ionosphere of signals within the HF band. Several aspects are covered in this paper:
