This study investigates the ballistic design optimization of three-dimensional grains of solid rocket motors (SRMs). The geometric modeling and burnback analysis of grains are performed analytically by using basic geometries like cylinder, cone, prism, sphere, ellipsoid, and torus. For the internal ballistic analysis, a quasi-steady zero-dimensional flow solver is used. Three different optimization methods are considered: real-coded genetic algorithm (GA), binary genetic algorithm and complex method. The optimization methods are applied to the problems of finding the parameters of grain geometry satisfying an objective thrust versus time profile and maximizing the parameter of total impulse satisfying the constraints of chamber pressure and propellant mass.

Three dimensional aerodynamic analysis of missiles by a panel method Başoğlu, Osman; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aeronautical Engineering (2002) Panel methods are extensively used in aerodynamic analysis of missiles in early stages of their development. An existing TUBİTAK-SAGE panel code is modified and improved for routine and more efficient calculation of the aerodynamic coefficients of various missile configurations at subsonic and supersonic flight conditions. Particularly, the poor convergence, user unfriendliness and poor output characters of this code have been improved by modifying and adding new routines to it. Now the code with an incorpo...
Three dimensional fracture analysis of fillet welds Fıçıcı, Ferhan; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) The aim of this study is to model three dimensional surface crack problems in fillet welds. It is assumed that weld material has the same material properties with the sheet metals. The surface crack is considered to occur at two regions; one at the weld root and the other at the weld toe. The surface crack is assumed to have a semi elliptical crack front profile. The surface crack problem is analyzed under mechanical loading and the models are built up by three dimensional finite elements. Around the crack...
Three dimensional hypersonic flow analysis around a reentry vehicle using navier‐stokes equations Özgün, Muharrem; Eyi, Sinan (null; 2016-07-11) The purpose of this study is to develop an accurate and efficient CFD code that can be used in hypersonic flows. The flow analysis is based on the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are solved by using Newton/Newton-Gmres method. The analytical method is used to calculate the Jacobian matrix. Flow parameters and convective heat transfer are analyzed on Apollo AS-202 Command Module. Also, algebraic Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model and one-equation Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model is us...
Finite element modelling and analysis of recoil springs in automatic weapons Zaloğlu, Hakan; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) As a tool for weapon designers, a finite element based analysis methodology is developed for estimating the mechanical behavior of the recoil spring during a firing cycle. All models are developed in LS-DYNA to be used in analysis to estimate the nonlinear force deflection characteristics and dynamic stress in the spring during a representative firing cycle. An experimental study is also performed to validate the finite element based analysis methodology. Modeling, analysis approach and modeling parameters ...
