Major malfunctions are originated from bearing mechanisms of reaction wheels, momentum wheels and control moment gyroscopes. Current research investigates the theoretical background for attitude actuators depending on oscillatory actuation which can be implemented without bearings. The approximate angular momentum and dynamics of such a device is formulated. A prototype vibration based attitude control actuator was designed and produced. Design implications originating from the mathematical model of the actuator were incorporated into its mechanical design. An experimental setup consisting of a load cell and a frictionless air bearing was utilized. Experiments were carried in which the device successfully rotated the experimental setup; proving the concept of vibration based attitude actuation. Furthermore, a scale-down study was carried out to assess the novel concept’s suitability for miniaturization. Later, a MEMS based actuator was designed and its functioning was exhibited through simulations.

ARCHITECTURES FOR VIBRATING MASS ATTITUDE CONTROL ACTUATORS
Akbulut, Burak; Tekinalp, Ozan (2015-01-15)
Reaction wheels, magnetic torque rods, momentum wheels and control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) are the most common actuators used in attitude control. However, they use rotor and/or gimbal mechanisms susceptible to failure. An alternative solution may be vibrating mass actuators. Previous research by Reiter et al. and Chang et al. showed the possibility of obtaining a net output torque from vibrating actuators. To build upon this, current research aims to expand the vibratory actuators to different and more co...
Steering laws for control moment gyroscope systems used in spacecrafts attitude control
Yavuzoğlu, Emre; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2003)
In this thesis, the kinematic properties of Single Gimballed Control Moment Gyroscopes (SGCMGs) are investigated. Singularity phenomenon inherent to them is explained. Furthermore, existing steering laws with their derivations are given. A novel steering law is developed that may provide singularity avoidance or may be used for quick transition through a singularity with small torque errors. To avoid singularity angular momentum trajectory of the maneuver is to be simulated in advance for the calculation of...
Estimation of effective parameters and operational response of tuned vibration absorbers
Özden, Hasan Can; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
In this study, swing up and stabilization of on/off type of cold gas thruster driven inverted pendulum is accomplished. First, pulse width modulator (PWM) design method is generated to obtain quasi-linear thrust output from on/off type of thruster. Than, single axis angle controller is designed. Designed angle controller and PWM scheme are tested and verified on single axis angle control test setup. Finally, an other freedom is attached to single axis test setup and rotary inverted pendulum (Furuta Pendulum...
NONLINEAR DYNAMIC-MODEL AND ITS SOLUTION FOR A HIGH-SPEED CAM MECHANISM WITH COULOMB-FRICTION
Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Tümer, Sami Turgut (Elsevier BV, 1994-01-20)
The dynamic behavior of overhead cam mechanisms, commonly used in automotive applications, is strongly influenced by the Coulomb friction at the rocker arm pivot. In this study, a non-linear one-degree-of-freedom model of such a mechanism including Coulomb friction has been developed. An exact quasi-linear solution to the equations representing the non-linear behavior has been obtained. The effects of Coulomb friction at different cam speeds are investigated using typical parameter values. A critical examin...
