Kinetics and kinematics of an oblique impact are different when compared with frontal collisions. The objective of this research is to simulate various oblique crash scenarios that pregnant drivers may experience by using the computational pregnant occupant model, Expecting and investigate potential injuries that pregnant drivers may suffer. Half-sine acceleration pulses representing crash speeds, 15 to 45 kph are used in the simulations. Oblique impact simulations are conducted both from the nearside and the farside (offside) of the vehicle. The placental abruption and hence foetus mortality risks during oblique crashes are compared with the full-frontal impact cases.

On the wake pattern of symmetric airfoils for different incidence angles at Re=1000 Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (SAGE Publications, 2016-06-01) In the current study, numerical simulations are performed in order to investigate effects of incidence angle and airfoil thickness on alternating vortex pattern of symmetric airfoils at Re = 1000. This alternating vortex pattern is found to be significantly varying in shape as the incidence angle increases. The results are obtained with 1 degrees increment from 0 degrees to 41 degrees and then with 10 degrees increment from 40 degrees until 180 degrees. The instantaneous and mean vortex patterns are investi...
Search for supersymmetry in the multijet and missing transverse momentum final state in pp collisions at 13 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2016-07-01) A search for new physics is performed based on all-hadronic events with large missing transverse momentum produced in proton–proton collisions at . The data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1, was collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2015. The data are examined in search regions of jet multiplicity, tagged bottom quark jet multiplicity, missing transverse momentum, and the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta. The observed numbers of events in all search regions are ...
Vector boson production in association with jets at CMS Yalvaç, Metin; ÖCALAN, KADİR (2018-07-06) The production cross section of highly boosted vector bosons (V = W, Z or gamma) recoiling against jets is studied, with CMS data, differentially as function of the transverse momentum and angular correlations of the final state particles. The measurements are confronted with different state-of-the-art theory predictions that include next-to-leading order calculations and matrix-element plus parton shower event simulations.
Swing up and stabilization of rotary inverted pendulum by using on-off type of cold gas thruster actuators Silik, Yusuf; Yaman, Ulaş; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) In this study, swing up and stabilization of on/off type of cold gas thruster driven inverted pendulum is accomplished. First, pulse width modulator (PWM) design method is generated to obtain quasi-linear thrust output from on/off type of thruster. Than, single axis angle controller is designed. Designed angle controller and PWM scheme are tested and verified on single axis angle control test setup. Finally, an other freedom is attached to single axis test setup and rotary inverted pendulum (Furuta Pendulum...
An Aerostructural 3D wing optimization using parallel genetic algorithms Arpacı, Anıl; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) As a multi-disciplinary optimization problem, aerostructural shape optimization of airplane wings requires both aerodynamic and structural analysis to meet an objective defined as the sum of parameters like drag to lift ratio and wing weight, subjected to penalty of structural yield stress and geometrical sizing constraints to get aerodynamically efficient and lightweight 3D wings. In our study, genetic algorithms are utilized for optimization of 3D wing with its internal structural components. In order to ...
