Smart structures and their applications on active vibration control: Studies in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, METU Şahin, Melin; Yaman, Yavuz; Nalbantoglu, Volkan; Ulker, Fatma Demet; Caliskan, Tarkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-08-01) This work presents the theoretical and experimental studies conducted in Aerospace Engineering Department of Middle East Technical University on smart structures with particular attention given to the structural modelling characteristics and active suppression of in-vacuo vibrations. The smart structures considered in these analyses are finite and flat aluminium cantilever beam-like (called as smart beam) and plate-like (called as smart fin) structures with surface bonded lead-zirconate-titanate patches. Fi...
Performance of a precast concrete beam-to-beam connection subject to reversed cyclic loading Korkmaz, HH; Tankut, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-01) This study was performed as one phase of an extensive research program focusing on the seismic behaviour of precast connections carried out in Middle East Technical University. The primary objective of the research program was to observe and investigate the seismic behaviour of the connection detail proposed by the collaborating company and the specimens with improved details, in order to develop a 11 moment resisting precast concrete beam-to-beam connection". In this study, six beam-beam connection subasse...
Structural and aeroelastic analyses of a composite tactical unmanned air vehicle Özöztürk, Sedat; Kayran, Altan; Tamer, Aykut; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) In this thesis, computational aerodynamics, structural and aeroelastic analyses of the composite tactical unmanned air vehicle which is designed and manufactured in the Department of Aerospace Engineering are performed. Verification of the structural integrity of the air vehicle is shown at the minimum maneuvering and the dive speeds at the static limit loads which are calculated by the computational aerodynamics analysis of the full aircraft model. In the current work, aerodynamic loads are re-calculated f...
Manufacturing and structural analysis of a lightweight sandwich composite UAV wing Turgut, Tahir; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007) This thesis work deals with manufacturing a lightweight composite unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wing, material characterization of the composites used in the UAV wing, and preliminary structural analysis of the UAV wing. Manufacturing is performed at the composite laboratory founded in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, and with hand lay-up and vacuum bagging method at room temperature the wing is produced. This study encloses the detailed manufacturing process of the UAV wing from the mold manufactur...
Structural design, analysis and composite manufacturing applications for a tactical unmanned air vehicle Soysal, Sercan; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008) In this study structural design, analysis and composite manufacturing applications for a tactical UAV, which was designed and manufactured in Aerospace Engineering Department of Middle East Technical University (METU), is introduced. In order to make an accurate structural analysis, the material and loading is modeled properly. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to determine the 3D pressure distribution around the wing and then the nodal forces were exported into the finite element program by means...
