The Amphibious Assault Bridge vehicle was designed and produced by FNSS Defense Systems Inc. Purpose of this vehicle is bridging over the rivers and letting pass the other vehicles easily. However, some of the vehicles are being used in seawater instead of fresh water. This leads to corrosion of the vehicles at higher rate than expected. It was not possible to adopt modifications of design of the vehicle, improving coating quality, changing the environment and etc. because the vehicles were already produced and they were in service. Thus, FNSS has decided to use cathodic protection method. To this end, the vehicle hull produced by welding of various 5000 series aluminum used on the vehicle was characterized and cathodic protection simulation was applied to optimize the corrosion protection.

Design optimization of an s-shaped subsonic intake using bayesian approach and bezier curves Atasoy, Mete; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-5-26) Engine is a prominent part for the systems of a cruise missile. Reliable and efficient engine performance significantly depends on the quality of the incoming airflow. In this thesis, the aerodynamic performance of a subsonic intake is improved by using open-source multi-task Bayesian optimization (MTBO) tool. The main difference of Bayesian approaches from other optimization methods is that it has information about all design space, along with the uncertainty value. The learning process in the Bayesian app...
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...
Control system design and implementation of a tilt rotor UAV Cevher, Levent; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) In this thesis, a hybrid vertical take off and landing unmanned air vehicle platform is designed and developed. The platform uses tricopter configuration for takeoff and landing while it uses its fixed wings for forward flight. Control algorithms are developed for the VTOL aircraft. For this purpose, first nonlinear simulation code is developed in Matlab/Simulink environment. The simulation uses the wind tunnel experimental data for the propellers and aerodynamic data obtained from a package program XFLR 5 ...
Multiobjective Conceptual Design of an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle Tekinalp, Ozan (2012-09-19) Design optimization of a supersonic unmanned combat air vehicle is addressed. Proper mathematical models are developed, with constraints on optimization variables and performance limits. Multiple cooling multi objective simulated annealing algorithm is used to carry out the optimization. The results demonstrate that design optimization formulation as well as the algorithms employed is effective to help designers to come up with baseline configurations.
Numerical investigation of flow control strategies on delta wings Yıldırım, Alper; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAV) and Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) have been increasing in recent years. The researchers aim to understand the complex flow structure around low sweep angle delta wings, which are frequently used in such vehicles.They are also interested in controlling the flight performance of these vehicles by various active and passive means. This study involves numerical simulations of flows around a delta wing with a sweep angle of 45oat hig...
