Electromechanical actuators are widely used in miscellaneous applications in engineering such as aircrafts, missiles, etc. due to their momentary overdrive capability, long-term storability, and low quiescent power/low maintenance characteristics. This work focuses on electromechanical control actuation systems (CAS) that are composed of a brushless direct current motor, ball screw, and lever mechanism. In this type of CAS, nonlinearity and asymmetry occur due to the lever mechanism itself, saturation limits, Coulomb friction, backlash, and initial mounting position of lever mechanism. In this study, both nonlinear and linear mathematical models are obtained using governing equations of motion. By using the linear model, it is shown that employing a PI-controller for position and a P-controller for velocity will be sufficient to satisfy performance requirements in the inner-loop control of an electromechanical CAS. The unknown controller parameters and anti-windup coefficient are obtained by the Optimization Tools of MATLAB using nonlinear model. Results obtained from the nonlinear model and real-time unloaded and loaded tests on a prototype developed are compared to verify the nonlinear model.

Dynamic modeling and control of an electromechanical control actuation system
Yerlikaya, Ümit; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
Electromechanical simulators, actuators are widely used in miscellaneous applications in engineering such as aircrafts, missiles, etc. These actuators have momentary overdrive capability, long-term storability and low quiescent power/low maintenance characteristics. Thus, electromechanical actuators are applicable option for any system in aerospace industry, instead of using hydraulic actuators. In the same way, they can be used in control actuation section of missiles to deflect flight control surfaces. Mo...

Detailed modeling and control of a 2-DOF gimbal system
Poyrazoğlu, Erhan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
Gimbal systems are used in various engineering applications such as military systems. Their configurations are designed according to the types of application and desired performance requirements. The essential aim of these systems is to compensate the disturbance effects in order to stabilize LOS and positioning to the desired point. In this thesis, first, a detailed mathematical model of a 2-DOF gimbal system containing some nonlinear dynamic effects such as friction, static and dynamic mass unbalance is obt...
Design and evaluation of a helicopter main rotor electrohydraulic control system
Düzağaç, Hasan Ali; Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-26)
Helicopters are widely used aircrafts for several purposes. Main Rotor of a Helicopter creates necessary flight forces for performing flight operation. Orientation of a Helicopter Rotor System is determined and controlled manually by pilot and automatically by automatic control system via hydraulically operated flight control actuators. In this research, a novel electrohydraulically operated helicopter main rotor control system is mathematically designed and developed to improve overall performance of contr...
Improving operational performance of antennas on complex platforms by arranging their placements
Bayseferoğulları, Can; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
The aim of this thesis is to improve the operational performance of the communication antennas mounted on complex platforms such as aircrafts and warships by arranging placements of these antennas. Towards this aim, primarily, in order to gain insight on the influence of geometrically simple structures composing the platform on antenna performance, a quarter wavelength monopole antenna placed at the center of a finite square ground plane is studied by using uniform Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (GTD). B...
