Optimization of compliant parts of a hybrid trailing edge control surface of a morphing unmanned aerial vehicle Arslan, Pınar; Gürses, Ercan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017) In this thesis, optimization studies are conducted for compliant parts of a hybrid trailing edge control surface of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The geometry of the control surface was taken from a previous study conducted in [1], and then regenerated parametrically through Design Modeler tool of ANSYS Workbench v15.0. The finite element model of the control surface is created by using ANSYS Workbench v15.0 Static Structural module. The optimization study of the compliant part is conducted by using Ada...
Optimization of physical parameters of an underactuated quadrupedal robot Karagoz, Osman Kaan; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (2018-01-01) In this paper, we present the comparison of different optimization algorithms that are used to optimize the parameters of a simulated legged robotic platform. We compare the results obtained by applying different algorithms on the same model and show the relative advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms. The tested algorithms are Particle Swarm Optimization, Binary Coded Genetic Algorithm, Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfrab-Shannon Algorithm and Method of Zoutendijk. We showed that the globally optimal param...
Optimization of Flapping Motion Parameters for Two Airfoils in a Biplane Configuration Kaya, Mustafa; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Jones, Kevin D.; Platzer, Max F. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2009-03-01) Flapping motion parameters of airfoils in a biplane configuration are optimized for maximum thrust and/or propulsive efficiency. Unsteady, viscous flowfields over airfoils flapping in a combined plunge and pitch are computed with a parallel flow solver on moving and deforming overset grids. The amplitudes of the sinusoidal pitch and plunge motions and the phase shift between them are optimized for a range of flapping frequencies. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is implemented in a parallel computing...

Optimization of aeroelastic flapping motion of thin airfoils in a biplane configuration for maximum thrust Kaya, Mustafa; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Jones, Kevin D.; Platzer, Max F. (2007-01-01) An aeroelastic flapping motion of thin airfoils in a biplane configuration is optimized for maximum thrust. Airfoils are attached to swing arms by an elastic joint, which is model led by a torsional spring. A spring-mass system is employed for the aeroelastic coupling. The stiffness coefficient and the mass moment of inertia of the airfoil are optimized for maximum thrust. A gradient based optimization method is employed in a parallel computing environment. Unsteady, low speed flows are computed in parallel...
