In this study, design, modelling and control of a clutched parallel elastically actuated articulated leg is presented. Clutch mechanism is introduced to disengage the parallel elastic element when it is not needed. Some of the design principles concerning the ease of manufacturing and assembly are underlined. While the system has two joints at hip and knee that can be actuated, for simplicity, restrained motion of the system in vertical direction is considered only with hip actuation. Controller is based on a template model and the desired motion is obtained by equating (embedding) dynamics of the physical system (anchor) to the template model. Spring loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model including a virtual viscous damper is chosen as the template. Controller decides on the virtual damping constant in the template to reach desired apex positions. A wrapping cam mechanism is introduced to equate the potential energy function of the parallel spring to the desired linear spring of SLIP model. To complete embedding, necessary torque is calculated by equating the virtual works of the inputs. Overall, simulation of the hopping system and the important aspects of design are presented.

Analytical modeling of asymmetric multi-segment rotor - bearing systems with Timoshenko beam model including gyroscopic moments Özşahin, Orkun; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-11-01) In this study, analytical modeling and an analysis approach for asymmetric multi-segment rotor bearing systems are presented. Timoshenko beam model which includes the effect of gyroscopic moments is employed for modeling rotor segments. Instead of applying FEM, sub-segment Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) are obtained analytically, and sub-segment FRFs obtained are coupled by using receptance coupling method. Bearing properties are included into system dynamics by employing structural modification techni...
Prediction of automobile tire cornering force characteristics by finite element modeling and analysis Tönük, Ergin; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2001-05-01) In this study, a detailed finite element model of a radial automobile tire is constructed for the prediction of cornering force characteristics during the design stage. The nonlinear stress-strain relationship of rubber as well as a linear elastic approximation, reinforcement, large displacements, and frictional ground contact are modeled. Validity of various simplifications is checked. The cornering force characteristics obtained by the finite element tire model are verified on the experimental setup const...
Design of kalman filter based attitude determination and control algorithms for a LEO satellite Efendioğlu, Gamze; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) The design of different attitude controllers by using reaction wheels and magnetic rods as torque sources and the design of a multi-sensor integrated navigation system are developed for a three-axis stabilized Earth-orbiting microsatellite and presented in this thesis. Firstly, the fundamental parameters relevant to satellite attitude determination are presented, such as attitude sensors and actuators, space environmental effects, coordinate frames, satellite dynamic/kinematic equations with control compone...
Modelling of an articulated flying body and control system design Güzelcan, Burçin Tutku; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-12-5) This study presents the conceptual design of an articulated coaxial rotor Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) with three-dimensional dynamical models and a control strategy. Conventional rotary-wing aircrafts operate maneuvers via swashplates which is a complex mechanism adding bulky elements to the aircrafts. While designing light weight UAVs, there appears a need for less complex and compact mechanisms for maneuverability rather than swashplates. There are different methods and mechanisms to acquire maneuvering wi...
Investigation of variations in performance properties of asphalt concrete using image-based finite element model Karakaya, Yalçın; Güler, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-7-20) The objective of this study is to evaluate variations in performance properties of asphalt concrete using a two-dimensional image-based finite element model. Two different asphalt mixtures are used in both laboratory tests and in FEM analyses representing different conditions. A flatbed scanner is then used to capture cross-sectional images of the samples and various image processing techniques are applied to prepare the images for FEM. A unique image vectorization method has been developed to transform cro...
