In many robotic applications and inertially stabilized electro-optic gimbal systems, precise positioning and speed control are highly important concepts. Due to size and weight limitations, motor is required to be small but torque density is desired to be high. In high torque and cheap PMSM and BLDC motors, cogging torque and friction are usually the challenging disturbance sources. In this study, cogging torque and friction are identified using position sensors which already exist in gimbal systems, so the cost of the system is not increased. Identified disturbances are rejected with feedforward algorithms. With only cogging torque compensation, 30-65% of the tracking error is removed in a feedback control system. The development of a controller design for a low-cost gimbal motor is presented and the following topics are discussed; accurate frequency response function measurement of gimbal system, controller design with "loop shaping" method according to system requirements, output disturbance sensitivity analysis. We also examine the controller implementation issues in an embedded world with their practical considerations.

Nonlinear vibration isolation of inertial measurement unit Dönmez, Ata; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) In engineering systems, dynamic parameters of systems such as acceleration, velocity, etc. are measured instantaneously to provide feedback for control systems. Since measurement equipment is sensitive to vibratory environment, performance of them is directly related to how effectively vibration is isolated. Linear vibration isolation systems have limitations due to static deflections and damping characteristic. Therefore, nonlinear elements can be used to improve isolation performance.In this thesis, first...
Dynamic modelling and control of a gimballed airborne antenna platform with mass unbalance and friction Şeref, Tuğçe; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Inertial stabilized gimballed systems are widely-used in many applications to achieve a high precision positioning. Airborne antennas pointing target as a part of the satellite communication may be examples of such systems. This thesis presents the dynamic modelling and control of a two axes gimballed airborne antenna platform. First, reference frames and the transformation matrices are defined to build up the motion of the antenna and kinematic equations of each gimbal are derived. Next, the dynamic equati...
Nonlinear static aeroelastic behavior of composite missile fin with interlaminar and intralaminar damage Özkaya, Özge; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017) Accurate prediction of the static aeroelastic behavior of the lifting surfaces is crucial since aeroelasticity triggers instabilities, changes the load distribution and affects the control effectiveness and thereby the overall performance of the aerospace structures. Composite structures are prone to failure either because of the defects which may occur inside the structure during the manufacturing or in service. Damages are both inherent and unavoidable in composite materials and some of them are hard to d...
Friction identification and compensation of its effects in stabilized platforms Sincar, Eyyüp; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) A frequent problem encountered in the stabilization of a dynamic system supported by a moving base is the disturbance rejection associated with moving components. Due to relative motion of adjacent components, the friction induces a destabilizing force from base motion to the stabilized object, which degrades the motion accuracy. Therefore, the compensation of frictional effects is necessary in order to obtain a highly precise stabilization performance, especially, when the stabilized system undergoes low-v...
Application of spring analogy mesh deformation technique in airfoil design optimization Yang, Yosheph; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) In this thesis, an airfoil design optimization with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis combined with mesh deformation method is elaborated in detail. The mesh deformation technique is conducted based on spring analogy method. Several improvements and modifications are addressed during the implementation of this method. These enhancements are made so that good quality of the mesh can still be maintained and robustness of the solution can be achieved. The capability of mesh deformation is verified by...
