In this study, Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) of a subsystem carried by a jet aircraft which is in real flight condition is performed. The main purpose of this study is to investigate relationship between vibration response of the subsystem and flight parameters like mach number, attitude, propulsion severity and number of the jet engine of the jet type aircraft, also physical parameters as mass, mass moment of inertia in three axes of the subsystem. Parameters are collected in real flight condition by data storage system. In signal processing, vibration response is expressed as power spectral density functions in frequency domain. Root mean square of values in terms of gravitational acceleration (GRMS) is also used to define vibration response severity in singular number. Time history data is checked, if the signal is stationary or not. Data are filtered to clean static effects like jet maneuver. It is seen that mach number and flight attitude of the jet has strong effect on subsystem vibration response magnitude. Also, results show that, change of the external geometry of the subsystem influence the vibration response. According to results, it can be said that, subsystem physical parameters have small impression on vibration response.

Experimental investigation of tip anhedral effects on the aerodynamics of a model helicopter rotor in hover Uluocak, Sinem; Perçin, Mustafa; Uzol, Oğuz (2021-06-01) This study experimentally investigates the effects of tip anhedral on the rotor aerodynamic performance and the tip vortex characteristics in hovering flight. A five-bladed scaled helicopter rotor with blades that have either rectangular (baseline) or anhedral tip geometries was used as the experimental model. Thrust and torque measurements were performed at the tip Mach numbers (Mtip) of 0.3 and 0.4 at five different pitch angles. In addition, flow field measurements via phase-locked particle image velocim...
Nonlinear aeroservoelastic modelling and analysis of aircraft with control surface freeplay Yurtsever, Utku; Şahin, Melin; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-11-24) In this study, nonlinear aeroservoelastic analysis of aircraft with control surface freeplay is performed using the fictitious mass approach. For the demonstration of the nonlinear aeroservoelastic analysis methodology, an available very light aircraft (VLA) design configuration is selected. The aeroelastic model of the aircraft is obtained by combining the structural and aerodynamic models of the aircraft, which are prepared by the finite element modelling and analysis tool MSC.Patran/MSC.Nastran and the a...
Optimal input design and system identification for an agile aircraft Millidere, Murat; Akgül, Ferhat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Engineering Sciences (2021-9) This doctorate study aims to provide a methodology for developing aerodynamic and engine thrust models using simulated flight test data for the F16 fighter aircraft. An accurate and comprehensive representation of an aircraft's aerodynamic characteristics is required to design a flight control system or develop a high-fidelity flight simulator. Modern computational methods and wind tunnel testing can provide the aerodynamic database, but flight test data is required to obtain a more accurate and realistic a...
Experimental Investigation on the Aerodynamics of a Bio-inspired Flexible Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle Deng, Shuanghou; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, Bas; Remes, Bart; Bijl, Hester (2014-06-01) An experimental investigation on a 10 cm bio-inspired flexible Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle (FWMAV) was conducted in both hovering and forward-flight conditions with the objective to characterize its aerodynamic performance. The measurements in hovering conditions were performed with the particular objective to explore the effect of different wing configurations (i.e. different aspect ratios and wing flexibilities), whereas forward flight tests in a wind tunnel were carried out to assess the aerodynamic ...
Experimental Investigation of Optimal Gap Distance between Rotors of a Quadrotor UAV Kaya, Dilber Derya; Kutay, Ali Türker; Tekinalp, Ozan (2017-06-09) The effect of spacing between the rotors of a quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in hovering flight is investigated. Experiments are conducted to obtain a mathematical relation between the diameter of the rotor and gap distance between each rotor. Constraints such as the maximum thrust force and minimum energy consumption are imposed. Several rotors having different sizes are tested at various RPMs with a changing gap distances, and total thrust produced by four rotors is measured. The results are give...
