Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Experimental Structural Stiffness Analysis of a Surgical Haptic Master Device Manipulator(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2021) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Carbone, GiuseppeThis paper deals with haptic devices for master-slave telesurgical applications. Namely, a stiffness model fitting methodology and its fine-tuning are proposed based on experimental results. In particular, the proposed procedure is based on virtual joint structural stiffness modeling to be applied in time-efficient compliance compensation strategies. A specific case study is discussed by referring to the HISS haptic device that has been developed and built at Izmir Institute of Technology. Two different experimental setups are designed for stiffness evaluation tests. Experimental results are discussed to demonstrate their implementation in the proposed methodology for the fine-tuning of stiffness model.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Sizing of Autonomous Wind/Solar Hybrid Energy Conversion Systems for Urla, Turkey(ACTA Press, 2009) Özerdem, Barış; Ekren, OrhanIn this paper, an optimum sizing procedure of autonomous hybrid (wind + solar) energy system is presented which can be used to satisfy the requirements of given load distribution. The main purpose of this study is to find out an appropriate wind-photovoltaic hybrid energy system to satisfy electricity consumption of GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) base station at Izmir Institute of Technology Campus Area, Urla, Izmir, Turkey. To do this, monthly average daily solar radiation and wind speed data are collected. The monthly average wind speeds are measured at 10 m height during 3 years period on Izmir Institute of Technology Campus Area. The monthly average wind speed values are obtained between 5.7 and 7.7 m/s, on the other hand, the monthly average daily value of solar radiations on horizontal surfaces are ranged from 1.4 to 6.9kWh/m2 at Izmir Institute of Technology Campus Area. The hybrid system considered in the present analysis consists of one 5kW nominal power wind energy conversion systems (WECS), 21.82 m2 of photovoltaic (PV) panels (18 mono crystal PV panels each having 75 W power output) together with a battery storage system.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 20A Critical Review on Classification and Terminology of Scissor Structures(Int. Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, 2019) Maden, Feray; Akgün, Yenal; Kiper, Gökhan; Gür, Şebnem; Yar, Müjde; Korkmaz, KorayWhen the existing literature on the research of scissor structures is thoroughly investigated, it is seen that different researchers use different terminologies and classifications especially for the definition of the primary units and the motion type. Some of the studies define the whole geometry based on the geometric properties of the primary scissor units and the unit lines while some other studies define it according to the loops. All these studies use different names for similar elements. This article aims to review the literature on the classification and terminology of scissor structures and represent the state of art on the studies. Tables are represented showing all approaches in the literature. In addition, the article criticizes the missing points of each terminology and definition, and proposes some new terminology. In order to arrive at this aim, different definitions of the primary scissor units and motion types used in key studies in the literature are investigated thoroughly. With several examples, it is demonstrated that naming the scissor units according to the resulting motion type might be misleading and it is better to specify the motion type for the whole structure. A classification for transformation of planar curves is presented.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Off-Design Analysis of Transonic Bypass Fan Systems Using Streamline Curvature Through-Flow Method(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2019) Acarer, Sercan; Özkol, ÜnverThe two-dimensional streamline curvature through-flow modeling of turbomachinery is still a key element for turbomachinery preliminary analysis. Basically, axisymmetric swirling flow field is solved numerically. The effects of blades are imposed as sources of swirl, work input/output and entropy generation. Although the topic is studied vastly in the literature for compressors and turbines, combined modeling of the transonic fan and the downstream splitter of turbofan engine configuration, to the authors' best knowledge, is limited. In a prior study, the authors presented a new method for bypass fan modeling for inverse design calculations. Moreover, new set of practical empirical correlations are calibrated and validated. This paper is an extension of this study to rapid off-design analysis of transonic by-pass fan systems. The methodology is validated by two test cases: NASA 2-stage fan and GE-NASA bypass fan case. The proposed methodology is a simple extension for streamline curvature method and can be applied to existing compressor methodologies with minimum numerical effort.
