The focus of this paper is the weight reduction of a disc-type magnetorheological (MR) device. Two different designs are proposed and investigated via finite-element analysis (FEA) to achieve the optimum combination of design parameters that result in the highest torque-to-mass ratio. The FEA is performed using the non-commercial FEMM package. Due to the symmetrical structure of the device, a 2D-axisymmetric model is utilized to simulate the magnetic flux density distribution. The resistant torque calculations are based on the Bingham plastic model, assuming low shear rate of the MR fluid. The results are compared with a baseline design from literature. It is shown that, with simple improvements, the torque-to-mass ratio of the proposed O-Type MR device is three times higher than the baseline design while producing a similar resistant torque.

Accuracy of a manual torque application device for morse-taper implants: A technical note CEHRELI, Murat Cavit; AKCA, Kıvanç; Tönük, Ergin (2004-09-01) Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare torques applied by new and used manual torque devices for Morse-taper implants. Material and Methods: Fifteen ITI manual torque devices were tested. Those in group 1 (n = 5) were new (ie, never used), those in group 2 (n = 5) had been used 50 to 200 times, and those in group 3 (n = 5) had been used 500 to 1,000 times. The torques applied by each device were measured for 35 Ncm and 15 Ncm targets in an experimental setup by a custom-made wrench with strain ...
Development of a scada control system for a weighing and bagging machine Aykaç, Emel Sinem; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this thesis study, a prototype is designed in order to improve the weighing accuracy of the weighing and packaging machine that used in sugar factories. The unavoidable factory conditions cause weighing and packaging machine to do weighing errors. In order to correct these errors, the prototype produced in this study was designed as a quality control unit which will take the excess sugar and fill the deficient sugar in the sacks. Because of being small and having an easy installation, the application of ...
Design of a compliant mechanism to amplify the stroke of a piezoelectric stack actuator Keskin, Tamer; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) Main objective of this study is to design a compliant mechanism with high frequency and high mechanical amplification ratio to be used for amplifying the stroke of a piezostack actuator. In this thesis, first of all, related literature is investigated and then alternative conceptual designs are established utilizing the mechanisms found in literature survey. Once best conceptual design is selected, detailed design of this mechanism is done. For detailed design of the compliant mechanism, topology optimizati...
Design of a magnetically tuned vibration absorber Nakkaş, Halit Erdem; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) In this thesis, a TVA is designed, manufactured and validated experimentally. The TVA uses eddy current effect as the damping mechanism with adjustable damping through changing distance between magnets and the conductors. In order to tune the damping level of the absorber to the desired range, magnetic analyzes are conducted and selection of conductor and magnets are made accordingly. Physical design of the TVA consists of a mass element, a spring element and a damping element. Compression helical spring is...
Numerical and experimental investigaton of ultrasonic embossing technique for fabrication of thermoplastic microfluidic devices Çoğun, Ferah; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Yıldırım, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) In this study, numerical models and experimental results were presented to describe mechanisms of hot embossing (HE) and ultrasonic embossing (UE) for fabrication of thermoplastic microfluidic chips. The substrates were embossed using micromilled aluminum molds in both techniques. Effects of embossing temperature, time, and force on performance outputs (replication rates and channel symmetry) were investigated numerically and experimentally in HE. Experimental results revealed the importance of temperature ...
