    A Continuously Variable Transmission System Designed for Human–robot Interfaces
    (Springer, 2021) Mobedi, Emir; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    Within a predefined limit, continuously variable transmission (CVT) systems can continuously vary the power transmission ratio. The transmission in CVTs is achieved via friction, belt or gear systems. If CVT designs can incorporate backdrivability, independent output position and impedance variation, shock absorbtion, and low mass and inertia, they can be employed in human–robot interfaces. Among various types of CVT designs, the two-cone drive CVT designs have a major drawback since the output torque and position cannot be changed independent of each other. The friction wheel used in this design does not have a holonomic motion capability and causes this inconvenience. In order to overcome this problem, a sphere is used in this work for the CVT design as the transmission element. In addition, it is stated in the literature that common CVT drive systems do not have the capability to be used in cyclic bidirectional motion. In the presented CVT design, a second sphere is added to the system with two springs from the lower part of the cones for pretension in order to solve the bidirectional transmission problem. In this paper, the working principle and conceptual design details of the novel two-cone CVT drive are presented. Experimental results showed that the novel CVT has the capacity to transmit bidirectional power with some accuracy. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

    Database Covering the Previously Excluded Daily Life Activities
    (2023) Mihçin, Şenay; Şahin, Ahmet Mert; Yılmaz, Mehmet; Alpkaya, Alican Tuncay; Tuna, Merve; Can, Nuray Korkmaz; Şahin, Serap; Akdeniz, Sevinç; Tosun, Aliye
    In biomedical engineering, implants are designed according to the boundary conditions of gait data and tested against. However, due to diversity in cultural backgrounds, religious rituals might cause different ranges of motion and different loading patterns. Especially in the Eastern part of the world, diverse Activities of Daily Living (ADL) consist of salat, yoga rituals, and different style sitting postures. Although databases cover ADL for the Western population, a database covering these diverse activities of the Eastern world, specific to these populations is non-existent. To include previously excluded ADL is a key step in understanding the kinematics and kinetics of these activities. By means of developments in motion capture technologies, excluded ADL data are captured to obtain the coordinate values to calculate the range of motion and the joint reaction forces. This study focuses on data collection protocol and the creation of an online database of previously excluded ADL activities, targeting 200 healthy subjects via Qualisys and IMU motion capture systems, and force plates, from West and Middle East Asian populations. Anthropometrics are known to affect kinematics and kinetics which are also included in the collected data. The current version of the database covers 50 volunteers for 12 different activities, the database aims for 100- male and 100- female healthy volunteers as the final target including C3D and BVH file types. The tasks are defined and listed in a table to create a database to make a query based on age, gender, BMI, type of activity and motion capture system. The data is collected only from a healthy population to understand healthy motion patterns during these previously excluded ADLs. The collected data is to be used for designing implants to allow these sorts of activities to be performed without compromising the quality of life of patients performing these activities in the future.

    Otomobil endüstrisi için mukavemeti yüksek seramik katkılı kapalı hücre alüminyum köpük metallerin geliştirilmesi
    (2009) Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, Alper; Yüksel, Sinan; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Gültürk, Elif; Karsu, Nurettin Deniz
    Farklı seramik ve metal toz katkılarının Al toz tabletlerinde köpükleşme ve mekanik davranışlara etkileri incelenmiştir. Katkı malzemesi olarak sıvı Al ile ıslatılan Ti6Al4V ve diyatomdan elde edilen silika parçacıkları ve Al tarafından yarı ıslatılan SiC parçacıkları, SiC nano toz ve SiC viskır kullanılmıştır. Ti6Al4V parçacıklarının sıvı Al içerisinde küçük boyutlu TiAl3 intermetalik fazı oluşturması ile artan sıvı tablet viskozitesi köpüğün kararlılığını artırmakta; fakat, köpükleşmeyi azalmaktadır. Köpük kararlılığı ve köpükleşme uzaması kullanılan Ti6Al4V toz boyutu ve yüzdesi ile değişmektedir. Sıvı Al tarafında ıslatılan bir diğer toz olan diyatom SiO2 katkısında ise düşük yüzdelerde köpükleşme maksimum uzamaya kadar artmaktadır. Artan katkı yüzdelerinde ise viskozite artışı ile tabletlerin köpükleşmesi azalmaktadır. SiC katkılı tabletlerde köpükleşme, kullanılan tozların toplam yüzey alanı ile değişmektedir. Optimum parçacık toplam yüzey alanında (~100000 mm2), SiC içeren tabletlerin uzamaları katkısız tabletlere göre daha yüksektir. Küçük boyutlu tozlarda artan yüzey alanı düşük parçacık yüzdelerinin, büyük parçacık boyutlarında ise daha yüksek parçacık yüzdelerinin kullanılmasının gerekliliği gösterilmiştir. Mikroskobik çalışmalar SiC parçacıklarının çoğunlukla hücre duvar yüzeylerinde asılı, Ti6Al4V ve SiO2 parçacıklarının ise tamamen hücre duvar içlerinde yer aldığını göstermiştir. Çalışılan parçacık boyu ve yüzdelerinde SiC katkısı plato gerilmesi ve enerji emme miktarlarını sırası ile %35 ve %20 artırmaktadır. Simülasyon sonuçları kritik köpük yoğunluğunun altında ticari olarak kullanılan boş 6063 T6 Al ve çelik tüplerin köpük dolu tüplerden maliyet ve ağırlık açısından daha avantajlı olduğunu göstermiştir.

    Asymmetry in the Tension and Compression Flow Stress and the Effect of Sub-Cell Size on the Hardness of a Selective Laser Melt 316l Stainless Steel
    (Springer, 2022) Güden, Mustafa; Enser, Samed; Arslan Hamat, Burcu; Tanrıkulu, A. Alptuğ; Yavaş, Hakan
    An asymmetry between tension and compression tests was determined experimentally in the Selective Laser Melt (SLM) stainless steel 316L alloy in the building direction. The asymmetry was ascribed to the used biaxial scanning strategy which resulted in a strong alignment of 〈110〉 along the build direction (fiber texture) and a random distribution of 〈100〉, 〈110〉 and 〈111〉 directions normal to the building direction. The strong fiber texture in the building direction induced lower twinning stress in tension than in compression, while the tension and compression twining stresses were found similar in the normal to building direction. The favored twinning in the specimens tested in the building direction resulted in a higher tensile true fracture strain; hence, a higher ductility. Lastly, the hardness measurements made on the specimens having similar gain sizes, but different sub-cell sizes processed using higher and lower laser powers tended to support that the sub-cell boundaries in SLM-316L alloy acted as imperfect barriers to the dislocation motion.

    Si-Geothermometry Applied for the Interpretation of Three-Components Mixtures in Marine Geothermal Systems -Exploration of the Gülbahce Geothermal Field, Western Anatolia/ Turkey
    (Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Politechniki Szczecinskiej, 2000) Giese, L.B.; İlken, Zafer; Çetiner, Levent; Yıldırım, Nazım
    The geothermal field of Gülbahce is located in western Anatolia/Turkey near Izmir. The University of Izmir IYTE is building-up a campus there. A pre-study was done to investigate whether the campus can be supplied with geothermal heat. Based on hydrogeochemical data, mixing calculations and a modified version of the SiO2-enthalpy diagram were applied to evaluate the reservoir temperature of three-components-mixtures. The temperature of the mixed outcrop water is 35°C. It consists of geothermal sea water, freshwater, and cold sea water. The fraction of freshwater was estimated to be 8%, The contents of Li and Si were interpreted to be generated by the reservoir temperature of 60°C in minimum - lower limit for low-temperature space heating - but to be maybe more than 100°C. This geothermal resource seems to be suitable, but exploitation will be difficult. One production well should satisfy the heat supply. Problems with scaling and corrosion are expected.
