Few tools exist for identifying the dynamics of rhythmic systems from input-output data. This paper investigates the system identification of stable, rhythmic hybrid dynamical systems, i. e. systems possessing a stable limit cycle but that can be perturbed away from the limit cycle by a set of external inputs, and measured at a set of system outputs. By choosing a set of Poincare sections, we show that such a system can be (locally) approximated as a linear discrete-time periodic system. To perform input-output system identification, we transform the system into the frequency domain using discrete-time harmonic transfer functions. Using this formulation, we present a set of stimuli and analysis techniques to recover the components of the HTFs nonparametrically. We demonstrate the framework using a hybrid spring-mass hopper. Finally, we fit a parametric approximation to the fundamental harmonic transfer function and show that the poles coincide with the eigenvalues of the Poincare return map.

Uncertainty analysis of coordinate measuring machine (CMM) measurements
Sözak, Ahmet; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, the measurement uncertainty of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is analysed and software is designed to simulate this. Analysis begins with the inspection of the measurement process and structure of the CMMs. After that, error sources are defined with respect to their effects on the measurement and then an error model is constructed to compensate these effects. In other words, systematic part of geometric, kinematic and thermal errors are compensated with error modelling. Kinematic and geo...
Feature extraction from acoustic and hyperspectral data by 2d local discriminant bases search
Kalkan, Habil; Kalkan, Habil; Department of Information Systems (2008)
In this thesis, a feature extraction algorithm based on 2D Local Discriminant Bases (LDB) search is developed for acoustic and hyperspectral data. The developed algorithm extracts the relevant features by both eliminating the irrelevant ones and/or by merging the ones that do not provide extra information on their own. It is implemented on real world data to separate aflatoxin contaminated or high risk hazelnuts from the sound ones by using impact acoustic and hyperspectral data. Impact acoustics data is us...
Modal identification of nonlinear substructures and implementation in structural coupling analysis
Arslan, Özge; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
In this work, a new method is suggested for the modal identification of nonlinear structures and for the use of the modal data in calculating response of the nonlinear system to harmonic excitation. Nonlinearity in mechanical structures is usually encountered in connection regions. In this study, the nonlinear part of such a structure is modeled as a single nonlinear element and modal parameters of the structure are obtained as a function of displacement amplitude. Identification and modeling of nonlinear e...
Dynamic stability analysis of modular, self-reconfigurable robotic systems
Böke, Tevfik Ali; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
In this study, an efficient algorithm has been developed for the dynamic stability analysis of self-reconfigurable, modular robots. Such an algorithm is essential for the motion planning of self-reconfigurable robotic systems. The building block of the algorithm is the determination of the stability of a rigid body in contact with the ground when there exists Coulomb friction between the two bodies. This problem is linearized by approximating the friction cone with a pyramid and then solved, efficiently, us...

The aim of this study is to devise a computer simulation tool, which will speed-up the design of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems by providing the results of the micro-fabrication processes in advance. Anisotropic etching along with isotropic etching of silicon wafers are to be simulated in this environment. Similarly, additive processes like doping and material deposition could be simulated by means of a Cellular Automata based algorithm along with the use of OpenGL library functions. Equipped with an inte...
