In this article, control oriented uncertainty modeling of an uncommon quadrotor in hover is discussed. This quadrotor consists of two counter-rotating big rotors on longitudinal axis and two counter-rotating small tilt rotors on lateral axis. Firstly, approximate linear model of this vehicle around hover is obtained by using Newton-Euler formulation. Secondly, specific uncertainty is assigned to each parameter. Resulting uncertain model is converted into a linear fractional transformation framework for robustness analysis. Next, the most critical uncertain parameters in terms of robust stability in a proposed quadrotor model are investigated using mu sensitivities. Finally, skewed-mu analysis determines maximum possible uncertainty bounds for model parameters that are difficult to identify accurately.

VERIFICATION OF A FINITE ELEMENT MODEL OF AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE WING TORQUE BOX VIA EXPERIMENTAL MODAL TESTING Unlusoy, Levent; Şahin, Melin; Yaman, Yavuz (2012-07-04) In this study, the detailed finite element model (FEM) of an unmanned aerial vehicle wing torque box was verified by the experimental modal testing. During the computational studies the free-free boundary conditions were used and the natural frequencies and mode-shapes of the structure were obtained by using the MSC Software. The results were then compared with the experimentally obtained resonance frequencies and mode-shapes. It was observed that the frequencies were in close agreement having an error with...
An Approach for System Identification in Unmanned Surface Vehicles Erunsal, Izzet Kagan; Ahiska, Kenan; Kumru, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2017-10-21) In this study, a system identification methodology is introduced to determine the model parameters of unmanned surface vehicles. The proposed identification scheme is based on sequencing the experiments according to their capabilities to identify the model parameters. In each experiment, the parameters to be found are updated and the results are validated before ascertaining the final value. A procedure to complete the identification work in an experiment, namely the required post-processing, the optimizati...
A Computational analysis on rotor-propeller arm interaction in hovering flight Yener, Serkan.; Perçin, Mustafa; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) This study presents a computational analysis on the interaction between rotor and different rotor frame-arm geometries in hovering flight. The influence of the frame arm on the aerodynamic performance of the rotor is assessed by using commercially available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver software ANSYS Inc. Fluent 17. Numerical results are validated for hovering and forward vertical climb flight conditions with thrust and torque measurements conducted on a 16x4 carbon fiber propeller. The thrust ...
Investigation of digital elevation model uncertainty in GIS-based solar radiation models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation Ismaila, Abdur-Rahman Belel; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Ediger, Volkan; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2013) In this study, a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation approach that incorporates digital elevation model's (DEM) spatial autocorrelation is developed with the aim of assessing the impact of DEM uncertainty in GIS-based solar radiation models. The method utilized the error probability distribution function (pdf) of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM, and variogram model parameters of the study area's SRTM DEM as a priori information for the formulation of Metropolis-Hasting algorithm. Statisti...
Frequency-Domain Estimation of a Transfer Matrix of an Uncommon Quadrotor in Hover Baskin, Mehmet; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2022-07-01) In this article, system identification of an uncommon quadrotor in hover is discussed. Two counter-rotating big rotors on the longitudinal axis and two counter-rotating small tilt rotors on the lateral axis form this quadrotor configuration. First, the nonlinear dynamic model of this vehicle is derived from Newton-Euler formulation. Next, using the approximate linear hover model and the suitable rotor mixing matrix for axes decoupling, simplified attitude dynamics of this quadrotor are obtained. However, th...
