Optimization of flapping airfoils for maximum thrust and propulsive efficiency
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı (2005-11-01)
The thrust and/or propulsive efficiency of a single flapping airfoil is-maximized by using a numerical optimization method based on the steepest ascent. The flapping motion of the airfoil is described by a combined sinusoidal plunge and pitching motion. Optimization parameters are taken to be the amplitudes of the plunge and pitching motions and the phase shift between them at a fixed flapping frequency. Two-dimensional, unsteady, low-speed, laminar, and turbulent flows are computed by using a Navier-Stokes...

Optimization of an energy harvester coupled to a vibrating membrane
Beker, Levent; Özgüven, Nevzat H.; Külah, Haluk (2013-12-11)
Resonant energy harvesters are generally designed for the operating frequency of the host structure. However, when the flexibility and mass parameters of the host structure are comparable to those of the energy harvester, mounting an energy harvester on the host structure may change the vibration characteristics of the host structure considerably. In this study, modeling and optimization of an energy harvester coupled to a vibrating membrane are presented to show the effect of dynamic coupling on maximum vo...

Imaging in the Terahertz (THz) region has drawn attention in recent years, but the nature of the THz frequency regime causes some drawbacks in imaging such as long wavelength, high cost, and low emission levels at room temperature. Because of the high atmospheric absorption of THz waves, fabrication of a microbolometer pixel that works in the sub-1 THz frequency regime is necessary. Large pixel pitches due to longer wavelengths and the resulting higher thermal mass pose a difficult challenge. Due to those l...
