Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6An Extended Jacobian-Based Formulation for Operational Space Control of Kinematically Redundant Robot Manipulators With Multiple Subtask Objectives: An Adaptive Control Approach(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2019) Çetin, Kamil; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, an extended Jacobian matrix formulation is proposed for the operational space tracking control of kinematically redundant robot manipulators with multiple subtask objectives. Furthermore, to compensate the structured uncertainties related to the robot dynamics, an adaptive operational space controller is designed, and then, the corresponding stability analysis is presented for kinematically redundant robot manipulators. Specifically, the proposed method is concerned with not only the stability of operational space objective but also the stability of multiple subtask objectives. The combined stability analysis of the operational space objective and the subtask objectives are obtained via Lyapunov based arguments. Experimental and simulation studies are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3A Model-Free Continuous Velocity Observer Formulation With Self-Tuning for Mechatronic Systems(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2018) Deniz, Meryem; Bayrak, Alper; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Bayrak, Alper; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, the design of a smooth robust velocity observer for a class of uncertain nonlinear mechatronic systems is presented. The proposed velocity observer does not require a priori knowledge of the upper bounds of the uncertain system dynamics and introduces time-varying observer gains for uncertainty compensation. Practical stability of the velocity observation error is ensured via Lyapunov-type stability analysis. Experimental results obtained from Phantom Omni haptic device are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed velocity observer.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13A General Expression for the Stagnant Thermal Conductivity of Stochastic and Periodic Structures(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2018) Bai, X.; Mobedi, Moghtada; Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada; Nakayama, Akira; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA general expression has been obtained to estimate thermal conductivities of both stochastic and periodic structures with high-solid thermal conductivity. An air layer partially occupied by slanted circular rods of high-thermal conductivity was considered to derive the general expression. The thermal conductivity based on this general expression was compared against that obtained from detailed three-dimensional numerical calculations. A good agreement between two sets of results substantiates the validity of the general expression for evaluating the stagnant thermal conductivity of the periodic structures. Subsequently, this expression was averaged over a hemispherical solid angle to estimate the stagnant thermal conductivity for stochastic structures such as a metal foam. The resulting expression was found identical to the one obtained by Hsu et al., Krishnan et al., and Yang and Nakayama. Thus, the general expression can be used for both stochastic and periodic structures.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Numerical and Experimental Studies of High Strain Rate Mechanical Behavior of E-glass/Polyester Composite Laminates(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2010) Tunusoğlu, Gözde; Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.; Taşdemirci, Alper; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyQuasi-static ∼10-3 s-1) and high strain rate (∼850 s-1) compression behavior of an E-glass/polyester composite was determined in the through-thickness and in-plane directions. In both directions, modulus and failure strength increased with increasing strain rate. Higher strain rate sensitivity for both elastic modulus and failure strength was observed in the in-plane direction. A numerical model was developed to investigate the compressive deformation and fracture of an E-glass/polyester composite. Excellent agreement was demonstrated for the case of high strain rate loading. Also, the fracture geometries were successfully predicted with the numerical model.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Constructal Microdevice Manifold Design With Uniform Flow Rate Distribution by Consideration of the Tree-Branching Rule of Leonardo Da Vinci and Hess-Murray Rule(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2017) Çetkin, Erdal; Çetkin, Erdal; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this paper, we show how the design of a microdevice manifold should be tapered for uniform flow rate distribution. The designs based on the tree-branching rule of Leonardo da Vinci and the Hess-Murray rule were considered in addition to the constructal design. Both da Vinci and Hess-Murray designs are insensitive to the inlet velocity, and they provide better flow uniformity than the base (not tapered) design. However, the results of this paper uncover that not only pressure drop but also velocity distribution in the microdevice play an integral role in the flow uniformity. Therefore, an iterative approach was adopted with five degrees-of-freedom (inclined wall positions) and one constraint (constant distribution channel thickness) in order to uncover the constructal design which conforms the uniform flow rate distribution. In addition, the effect of slenderness of the microchannels (Svelteness) and inlet velocity on the flow rate distribution to the microchannels has been documented. This paper also uncovers that the design of a manifold should be designed with not only the consideration of pressure distribution but also dynamic pressure distribution especially for non-Svelte microdevices.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7A New Approach To the Generation of Retractable Plate Structures Based on One-Uniform Tessellations(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2017) Gazi Gezgin, Aylin; Korkmaz, Koray; Korkmaz, Koray; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyRetractable plate structure (RPS) is a family of structures that is a set of cover plates connected by revolute joints. There exists wide range of possibilities related with these structures in architecture. Configuring the suitable shape of rigid plates that are able to be enclosed without any gaps or overlaps in both closed and open configurations and eliminating the possibility of contact between the plates during the deployment have been the most important issues in RPS design process. Many researchers have tried to find the most suitable shape by using kinematical or empirical analysis so far. This study presents a novel approach to find the suitable shape of the plates and their assembly order without any kinematical or empirical analysis. This approach is benefited from the one-uniform mathematical tessellation technique that gives the possibilities of tiling a plate using regular polygons without any gaps or overlaps. In the light of this technique, the shape of the plates is determined as regular polygons and two conditions are introduced to form RPS in which regular polygonal plates are connected by only revolute joints. It should be noted that these plates are not allowed to become overlapped during deployment and form gaps in closed configuration. Additionally, this study aims to reach a single degreeof- freedom (DoF) RPS. It presents a systematic method to convert multi-DoF RPS into single DoF RPS by using the similarity between graph theory and the duality of tessellation.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Predicting and Measuring Surface Enlargement in Forward Rod Extrusion(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2016) Duran, Deniz; Özdemir, İzzet; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySurface enlargement during bulk metal forming processes is one of the key parameters controlling the tribology at the tool-workpiece interface. Not only the surface roughness evolution but also the integrity of the lubricant layer critically reposes on surface enlargement. As an attempt to address this issue, in the first part of this work, a general, deformation gradient based surface enlargement description is implemented in a commercial finite element program. In the second part, forward rod extrusion tests with different area reductions are conducted using customized steel workpieces in which cylindrical copper rods are embedded through the depth. By sectioning the extruded parts and by identifying the position of the copper rods on the lateral surface, average surface enlargement values could be measured locally at different positions along the extrudate. Comparison of experiments and numerical predictions reveal that the deformation gradient based description performs reasonably well in capturing surface enlargement profiles both qualitatively and quantitatively.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15Constructal Vascular Structures With High-Conductivity Inserts for Self-Cooling(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2015) Çetkin, Erdal; Çetkin, Erdal; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this paper, we show how a heat-generating domain can be cooled with embedded cooling channels and high-conductivity inserts. The volume of cooling channels and high-conductivity inserts is fixed, so is the volume of the heat-generating domain. The maximum temperature in the domain decreases with high-conductivity inserts even though the coolant volume decreases. The locations and the shapes of high-conductivity inserts corresponding to the smallest peak temperatures for different number of inserts are documented,Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 19Effect of Pore To Throat Size Ratio on Interfacial Heat Transfer Coefficient of Porous Media(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2015) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, Moghtada; Mobedi, Moghtada; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, the effects of pore to throat size ratio on the interfacial heat transfer coefficient for a periodic porous media containing inline array of rectangular rods are investigated, numerically. The continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy equations are solved for the representative elementary volume (REV) of the porous media to obtain the microscopic velocity and temperature distributions in the voids between the rods. Based on the obtained microscopic temperature distributions, the interfacial convective heat transfer coefficients and the corresponding Nusselt numbers are computed. The study is performed for pore to throat size ratios between 1.63 and 7.46, porosities from 0.7 to 0.9, and Reynolds numbers between 1 and 100. It is found that in addition to porosity and Reynolds number, the parameter of pore to throat size ratio plays an important role on the heat transfer in porous media. For the low values of pore to throat size ratios (i.e., β = 1.63), Nusselt number increases with porosity while for the high values of pore to throat size ratios (i.e., β = 7.46), the opposite behavior is observed. Based on the obtained numerical results, a correlation for the determination of Nusselt number in terms of porosity, pore to throat size ratio, Reynolds and Prandtl numbers is proposed.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Numerical Approach To Design Process of Armored Vehicles(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2010) Erdik, Atıl; Kılıç, Namık; Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, Mustafa; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyToday, it is imperative that armored vehicles need advanced protection kits against anti-symmetric threats more than before. The primary goal of this study was to assess benefits of explicit hydrocodes for mine protection resistance of armored vehicles. An analysis of an armored vehicle under blast loading caused by high explosive (HE) detonation is presented with comparison to a full-scale test. The problem was examined using LS-DYNA which is an explicit non-linear finite element code. Multi Material Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (MM-ALE) Fluid Structure Interaction Method was selected to model the explosion domain so as to observe advancing of the shock wave in the compressed air and to investigate the effects of blast on the vehicle structure after explosion. Johnson-Cook constitutive material model, Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) and Linear Polynomial equation of states were used for the problem. Results show that numerical analysis was in good agreement with the experimental result.
