Instead of using the tedious process of turret teaching, an off-line path planning algorithm has been developed for military turrets to improve their accuracy and efficiency. In the scope of this research, an algorithm is proposed to search a path in three different types of configuration spaces which are rectangular, circular and torus shaped by providing three converging options named as fast, medium and optimum depending on the application. With the help of the proposed algorithm, 4-dimensional (D) path planning problem was realized as 2-D + 2-D by using 6 sequences and their options. In order to find a heuristic path on these 2-D configuration maps, the A* algorithm is implemented, which is usually used to find a heuristic path on Cartesian Workspace. Firstly, 4-D configuration space of the double-turret system is obtained by using the method of intersection of point clouds where the bodies in the system are meshed and converted into points. With the help of random simulations, the sequences and the options of these sequences are provided in an appropriate order. A sample path planning was made to examine the performance of the algorithm and thus the converging options. The results obtained for 3 different converging options were simulated on the model of the double-turret system and it was observed that there was no collision between any bodies in these three options. Hence, a collision free motion planning can be carried out for double-turret system operating in a common workspace.

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...
Dynamic model integration and 3d graphical interface for a virtual ship Çalargün, Canku Alp; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) This thesis addresses the improvement of a physically based modeling simulator Naval Surface Tactical Maneuvering Simulation System (NSTMSS), that combines different simulators in a distributed environment by the help of High Level Architecture (HLA), to be used in naval tactical training systems. The objective is to upgrade a computer simulation program in which physical models are improved in order to achieve a more realistic movement of a ship in a virtual environment. The simulator will also be able to ...
Panel-Method-Based Path Planning and Collaborative Target Tracking for Swarming Micro Air Vehicles Uzol, Oğuz; Yavrucuk, İlkay (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2010-03-01) This paper presents an application of the potential field panel method commonly used in aerodynamics analysis to obtain streamlinelike trajectories and use them for path planning and collaborative target tracking for swarming micro air vehicles in an urban environment filled with complex shaped buildings and other architectural structures. In addition, we introduce a performance matching technique that relates the flu id velocities, which are obtained as a part of the panel method solution, to vehicle veloc...
Adaptation of a control system to varying missile configurations Ekinci, Özgür; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) Varying missile configurations may create uncertainty for a missile control algorithm developed with linear control theory, for instance the control system performance requirements may not be satisfied anymore. Missile configuration may change during the missile design period due to variations in subsystem locations, subsystem weights and missile geometry. Likewise, burning propellant, deployment of aerodynamic surfaces and wings with varying sweep angle can be considered as in-flight missile configuration ...
Aerothermodynamic Design Optimization of Hypersonic Vehicles Eyi, Sinan; Boyd, Iain D. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2019-04-01) The objective of this study is to develop a reliable and efficient design optimization method for hypersonic vehicles focused on aerothermodynamic environments. Considering the nature of hypersonic flight, a high-fidelity aerothermodynamic analysis code is used for the simulation of weakly ionized hypersonic flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium. A gradient-based method is implemented for optimization. Bezier or nonuniform rational basis spline curves are used to parametrize the geometry or the geometry ch...
