Unknown external disturbances or nonlinear dynamics, could affect both the stability and the performance of the of the air vehicles adversely. Unavoidable structure of this reality occurrance in real life applications, led the researches to design adaptive control which could eliminate the deficiencies of the nominal controller. So that, the main aim of the total controller, to satisfy the robustness and performance of the controller could be established. Model following controller, and the model reference adaptive controllers are the ones which determine a reference model, and satisfy the system model responses track the reference model. The performance of the model reference adaptive controller depends on the success in prediction of the uncertainties mentioned above. The prediction is done, by the multiplication of basis functions and adaptive weight coefficients. The convergence of the predicted weights to their true values means accurate uncertainty prediction. Concurrent adaptive learning, eliminates PE restriction for parameter convergence, enhances the performance of the model reference adaptive controller. Data storage in concurrent adaptive learning is based on singular value maximizing. Chebsyhev polynomials and Fourier series are used as time dependent basis functions, and state dependent function for the state dependent basis functions, in uncertainty prediction. The adaptive weight update law is defined for both types of uncertainties, depending on the Lyapunov stability theorem. The time and state dependent model reference adaptive controller gives the best reference model tracking results, compared to the ones which use solely time or state dependent basis functions, and the related weight update laws.

Energy Absoption Mechanisms and Crash Analysis of Helicopter Seats
Öztürk, Gülce; Kayran, Altan (null; 2017-09-22)
In this paper, a crushable absorber system is designed to analyze the dynamic behavior and performance of a helicopter seat. The mechanism of the absorption system makes use of the crash energy to plastically deform the aluminum material of the seat legs. Seat structure is composed of a bucket, two legs and two sliding parts on each leg. Seat legs are made of aluminum and and the sliding parts of the seat are steel. During the impact event, the heavier sliding parts move down and crash the aluminum material...

Error analysis and assessment of unsteady forces acting on a flapping wing micro air vehicle: free flight versus wind-tunnel experimental methods
Caetano, J. V.; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, B. W.; Remes, B.; de Wagter, C.; de Croon, G. C. H. E.; de Visser, C. C. (IOP Publishing, 2015-10-01)
An accurate knowledge of the unsteady aerodynamic forces acting on a bio-inspired, flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) is crucial in the design development and optimization cycle. Two different types of experimental approaches are often used: determination of forces from position data obtained from external optical tracking during free flight, or direct measurements of forces by attaching the FWMAV to a force transducer in a wind-tunnel. This study compares the quality of the forces obtained from both m...
Nonlinear Static Aeroelastic Behaviour of Composite Missile Fin with Interlaminar Damage
Özkaya, Özge; Kayran, Altan (2017-09-22)
Nonlinear static aeroelastic behavior of a basic composite missile fin is analyzed by means of two-way coupled FSI simulation and the effects of composite damages are presented. The configuration has been simulated by coupling the two commercial solvers ANSYS CFX for the fluid mechanical simulation with ANSYS Mechanical for the structural simulation. 3D composite fin geometry is constructed using ANSYS ACP tool. Interlaminar damage cases were investigated and the influence of the damage locations on the sta...
Optimum Profile Modifications for the Minimization of Dynamic Transmission Error
ÖZTÜRK, VEYSEL YALIN; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-08-28)
An optimization study is performed target being the reduction of dynamic transmission error (DTE) for a selected operational range, where the operating torque and speed ranges are defined. For this purpose, two different models, i.e. a single degree of freedom (SDOF) lumped gear dynamics model and a multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) lumped model of a gear pair which is combined with shaft and bearing dynamics are employed. The differences between the optimization results obtained through loaded static transmis...
