Store separation analyses are carried out in order to estimate the safe separation envelope for external stores carried on military aircrafts by varying the flight/ejection conditions. Typical separation analysis considers either only the store motion beyond the end-of-stroke (EoS), or solves the EoS conditions with predefined ejection forcing that are assumed to be unaltered with respect to flight/ejection conditions. There exists a gap in the literature in modeling the EoS conditions and precise ejection loads. Data from ground and flight tests show that, dynamic responses of a store differ beyond acceptable limits where aerodynamics and aircraft elasticity are the two main sources of this miscorrelation. In order to have a reliable mathematical model that modifies the ground test data to have a reasonable correlation with the real ejection case, not only ejector and store dynamics but also store aerodynamics, aircraft aerodynamics, aircraft rigid body dynamics, aircraft elasticity should be considered. To show the effects of aircraft deformation on the EoS store conditions, first of all, a methodology that can be used to estimate the ejection loads and EoS conditions of the store more precisely is presented. For the purpose of visualizing the aeroelastic effects on store ejection dynamics, various virtual test cases are handled by changing wing torsional stiffness values and store mounting station positions along aircraft longitudinal axis. The acceleration responses of the store, obtained with and without the inclusion of aeroelastic effects, are used to emphasize the effects of aeroelasticity on ejection.

Static and dynamic aeroelastic analysis of a very light Aircraft Demirer, Halime Gül; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-9-10) Aircraft design processes need to ensure that the aircraft is aeroelastically stable within its operational envelope. This thesis presents an overview of the static aeroelastic, flutter and gust response analysis of a very light aircraft. MSC.FlightLoads and MSC.Nastran are used for aeroelastic modeling and analysis. The methods to be used in the aeroelastic analysis of the VLA are tested on the AGARD 445.6 wing, and the results are in good agreement with the literature. Aeroelastic model corrections such a...
Flight flutter testing and aeroelastic stability of aircraft Kayran, Altan (2007-01-01) Purpose - This paper sets out to provide a general review of the flight flutter test techniques utilized in aeroelastic stability flight testing of aircraft, and to highlight the key items involved in flight flutter testing of aircraft, by emphasizing all the main information processed during the flutter stability verification based on flight test data.
Evaluation of seismic response modification factors for steel frames by non-linear analysis Bakır, Serhan; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In this study steel framing systems are investigated with regards to their lateral load carrying capacity and in this context seismic response modification factors of individual systems are analyzed. Numerous load resisting layouts, such as different bracing systems and un-braced moment resisting frames with various bay and story configurations are designed and evaluated in a parametric fashion. Three types of beam to column connection conditions are incorporated in evaluation process. Frames, designed acco...
Cable axial load measurement device and buckling sensor development Usalan, Emine Ceren; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) Axial compression or tension carrying members may need to be monitored for their structural behaviors and/or damage detection. In this thesis, two different types of practical and cost efficient monitoring devices are proposed: The column buckling sensor and the cable tension measuring device. The columns of steel structures are prone to buckling due to their slender nature. The buckling sensor is developed by using strain gauges installed in half Wheatstone bridge and measures the strain level of the most ...
Inelastic seismic response analysis and design of torsionally coupled systems Kaatsız, Kaan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) Torsional coupling due to irregular placement of load resisting members and/or uneven mass distribution along a story plan is a very common phenomenon in structural systems. Unsymmetrical-plan buildings with stiffness and/or mass asymmetry behave considerably different compared to regular buildings when they are subjected to earthquake-induced forces. Modern earthquake resistant design related code provisions that employ capacity design principles aim to achieve a certain amount of ductility in the structur...
