External configuration design and aerodynamic optimization of modular guided munitions
Gün, Mert; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
Guided munitions, also known as gliding missiles, are not stand alone systems; rather, they are converted from a dummy body with the help of guidance kits. Guided munitions are used in great number during military operations, unlike air-to-air or cruise missiles. Guided munitions can be classified in two main sub-categories. First group provides guidance and stability with use of strakes. These type of missiles used for relatively short ranges. Second group has wings instead of strakes and effective in larg...
External geometry and flight performance optimization of turbojet propelled air to ground missiles
Dede, Emre; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011)
The primary goal for the conceptual design phase of a generic air-to-ground missile is to reach an optimal external configuration which satisfies the flight performance requirements such as flight range and time, launch mass, stability, control effectiveness as well as geometric constraints imposed by the designer. This activity is quite laborious and requires the examination and selection among huge numbers of design alternatives. This thesis is mainly focused on multi objective optimization techniques for...
Dynamic modelling and analysis of gun turret elevation drive system
Çiloğlu, Çağıl; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Eren, Oykun; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
In this thesis, dynamic models for the elevation axis of a gun turret are developed by using MATLAB/Simulink and the multi-body dynamics software MSC-Adams. The developed models include the driveline stiffnesses of individual components as well as the viscous damping of the bearings in the elevation drivetrain. State space representations of gun turret model with different degrees of freedoms are presented and compared. Both time and frequency domain analyses are conducted in order to get a basic idea about...
Active vibration control of beam and plates by using piezoelectric patch actuators
Lüleci, İbrahim Furkan; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Conformal airborne antennas have several advantages compared to externally mounted antennas, and they will play an important role in future aircrafts. However, they are subjected to vibration induced deformations which degrade their electromagnetic performances. With the motivation of suppressing such vibrations, use of active vibration control techniques with piezoelectric actuators is investigated in this study. At first, it is aimed to control the first three bending modes of a cantilever beam. In this s...
External control of PUMA 700 series robot based on the communication protocols LUN and DDCMP
Gebizlioğlu, Önder Emin; Ersak, Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
This thesis analyzes the supervisory control of the PUMA 700 series robot through a remote computer. Supervisory communication carries the control through MARK II controller, common controller for the PUMA robots, to a standard PC, enabling the development of purpose specific control programming without the knowledge of the VAL (Variable Assembly Language), robot-programming language. Using the supervisory communication feature of PUMA, new control software has been developed in which both VAL commands and ...
