Conference Object A sustainable association case study: IFToMM member organization Turkey(Springer, 2022) Kiper, Gökhan; Söylemez, EresAs a member of IFToMM founded in 2011, Turkish Machine Theory Association’s (MakTeD) structure has put special emphasis on sustainability of the association and initiated several activities for improving the quality of education and research in mechanism and machine science area, hence supporting the SDG4 Quality Education of the UN. This paper presents the activities and methodologies of MakTeD. The paper starts with a brief history of mechanism and machine science in Turkey. In 10 years MakTeD organized 4 symposiums, 1 conference, 4 summer/winter schools, 8 workshops and hosted an IFToMM Executive Council meeting. Each chapter of the biyearly held National Symposium on Theory of Machines is held by a different university and especially newly established and the universities in relatively smaller cities are prioritized in order to promote those universities and to contribute to development of these universities. Especially the summer/winter schools and workshops have a widespread impact on mechanism and machine science education and research at the universities and institutions. MakTeD also contributes to the community with published books and support programs for young researchers.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Polyhedral Linkages Obtained as Assemblies of Planar Link Groups(Springer Verlag, 2013) Kiper, Gökhan; Söylemez, EresThe study aims to devise means of obtaining polyhedral linkages for homothetic deployment of polyhedral shapes by embedding planar link groups in faces of the polyhedral shape of interest. The questions of which polyhedral shapes may be suitable for such a pur-pose and what are the compatibility conditions for spatially assembling planar link groups are addressed. Homohedral and tangential polyhedral shapes are found to be suitable for the task and some examples of linkages are worked out.Book Part Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Kinematic Design of a Reconfigurable Deployable Canopy(Springer Verlag, 2014) Kiper, Gökhan; Gürcü, Fulya; Korkmaz, Koray; Söylemez, EresA reconfigurable and deployable mechanism is proposed for a canopy which can also be used as a tent or a semi-open structure. The proposed single degree-of-freedom mechanism has four as-sembly modes. The conditions for deployment and reconfiguration of the mechanism are derived. These conditions impose three equality and two inequality constraints on the 11 design parameters of the mechanism. A virtual model of the mechanism is constructed in Excel for design and simulation purposes. A computational case study is presented.
