Modeling and experimental evaluation of variable speed pump and valve controlled hydraulic servo drives
Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
In this thesis study, a valveless hydraulic servo system controlled by two pumps is investigated and its performance characteristics are compared with a conventional valve controlled system both experimentally and analytically. The two control techniques are applied on the position control of a single rod linear actuator. In the valve controlled system, the flow rate through the actuator is regulated with a servovalve; whereas in the pump controlled system, two variable speed pumps driven by servomotors reg...
Optimization of ride comfort for vehicles equipped with passive and active hydro-pneumatic suspensions
Sağlam, Ferhat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
The main objective of this study is the optimization of ride comfort performance of vehicles equipped with Hydro-Pneumatic (HP) suspension systems. In order to improve ride comfort performance together with handling behavior as a constraint, active-passive, and unconnected-interconnected HP suspension systems are included in the study. The basic HP suspension model is developed and validated by experiments. Various HP suspension systems of increasing complexity are modeled, and their dynamic characteristics...
Investigation of waterhammer problems in the penstocks of pumped-storage power plants
Dinçer, Ali Ersin; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
Waterhammer is an undesirable event, caused by sudden flow changes in a confined pipe system. When it occurs, its consequences can be very costly and even sometimes deadly. In general, it may be encountered in the penstocks of hydropower plants, water transmission lines, water networks, etc. Therefore, the operation guidelines of the hydropower plants should be defined correctly. In this thesis, waterhammer problems in pumped storage hydropower plants are investigated. Time dependent flow conditions in the ...
Investigating Future Mobility Scenarios with Autonomous Vehicles
Çelik, Abdullah Tarık; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2022-4-27)
Future mobility is an area which requires exploration for both academic and business purposes. Technological developments such as electrified vehicles (EV), sharing services and autonomous vehicles (AV) have started taking their places in the transportation industry. AVs’ presence on the roads is expected in near future. There are predictions on how and when AVs are going to be eligible and uncertainties about how AVs will change people’s transportation habits and lifestyles. This thesis investigates futur...
