    A Comparative Study of Attention-Augmented YOLO Architectures for Defect Detection in Fused Deposition Modelling
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Cezayirli, H.; Tetik, H.; Dede, M.I.C.; Phone, W.L.; Alkan, B.
    Additive manufacturing (AM), particularly fused deposition modelling (FDM), facilitates the fabrication of complex geometries with increasing flexibility and efficiency. Ensuring consistent print quality in FDM processes necessitates the development of accurate defect detection mechanisms. Attention-augmented YOLO (You Only Look Once) models have emerged as a promising solution for addressing this challenge. In this study, we systematically benchmark and evaluate the performance of YOLO architectures enhanced with attention mechanisms within the context of FDM 3D printing applications. The models were trained and evaluated using representative defect datasets. The attention-augmented models demonstrate improved detection performance. © 2025 IEEE.

    Redundancy resolution options for the twin-it-romans robotic hybrid manufacturing system
    (Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Gündüz, G.M.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; Schmitz, M.; Corves, B.
    The Twinnig Iztech in Robotics Manufacturing System (TWIN-IT-ROMANS) project funded by EU Horizon -Widera-2023-Access-02-01 aims to develop a hybrid manufacturing system that can perform additive and subtractive manufacturing processes and inline quality control using a robotic system. The system will incorporate a 6-degree-of-freedom robot arm and a positioner with 2-degree-of-freedom, which will operate synchronously. This manipulation system is to be designed for performing different manufacturing operations with different degrees-of-freedom requirements. In order to reveal alternative trajectory planning scenarios for this system, this paper presents an initial review of redundancy resolution approaches for kinematically redundant robotic manipulators. First, the four main approaches for redundancy resolution techniques are introduced. Then main studies on energy minimization and stiffness maximization for kinematically redundant robotic manipulators are reviewed. Similar or new approaches are planned to be generated and implemented for the redundant system for hybrid manufacturing. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

    A Continuously Variable Transmission-Based Variable Stiffness Actuator for Phri: Design Optimization and Performance Verification
    (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2024) Mobedi, Emir; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    Physical human–robot interfaces (pHRIs) enabled the robots to work alongside the human workers complying with the regulations set for physical human–robot interaction systems. A variety of actuation systems named variable stiffness/impedance actuators (VSAs) are configured to be used in these systems’ design. Recently, we introduced a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) mechanism as an alternative solution in configuring VSAs for pHRI. The optimization of this CVT has significant importance to enhance its application area and to detect the limitations of the system. Thus, in this paper, we present a design optimization approach (an adjustment strategy) for this system based on the design goals, desired force, and minimization of the size of the system. To implement such design goals, the static force analysis of the CVT is performed and validated. Furthermore, the fabrication of the optimized prototype is presented, and the experimental verification is performed considering the requirements of VSAs: independent position and stiffness variation, and shock absorbing. Finally, the system is calibrated to display 6 N continuous output force throughout its transmission variation range. © 2024 by ASME.

    Four-bar function generation using excel solver
    (Springer, 2023) Söylemez, Eres; Kiper, Gökhan
    The Chapter presents a simple and efficient way of approximating a function with a four-bar mechanism using four or five design parameters including one or both of the initial crank angles. The method only involves solution of linear set of equations and evaluating determinants, whereas nonlinear equations are numerically solved using a simple program such as Excel. So, the method is easy to explain and can be taught in an undergraduate course along with the wellknown linear three precision point synthesis problem. Precision point synthesis, order synthesis, mixed order synthesis, least squares approximation and extreme point synthesis can all be treated using the same method. The proposed method is illustrated with numerical examples for all mentioned synthesis problems and shown to be quite efficient with very low amount of structural error values.

    Cold Plate Enabling Air and Liquid Cooling Simultaneously: Experimental Study for Battery Pack Thermal Management and Electronic Cooling
    (Elsevier, 2023) Coşkun, Turgay; Çetkin, Erdal
    The temperature of cells varies greatly during dis/charge while their performance and lifetime are greatly affected by this fluctuation. Elevated temperatures may yield battery fire due to thermal runaway as well they accelerate ageing and capacity fade of cells. Thermal management systems are a necessity for electric vehicles to extend the lifetime of battery cells and eliminate any fire risks, especially for fast dis/charging applications. Here, we document a hybrid cold plate with a working fluid(s) of sole air or liquid as well as both of them. Hybridization of air and liquid cooling promises to minimize energy consumption requirements during a charge/ discharge cycle by combining the benefits of both thermal management strategies if energy management is controlled accordingly. The temperature of each cell can be kept below 30 degrees C with the proposed hybrid cooling heat exchanger, and the temperature difference between the cells is reduced by 30 % relative to liquid cooling. The maximum temperatures are decreased by 18 % and 3 % in hybrid cooling when compared to air and water cooling, respectively. Furthermore, a step function combining various discharge rates (1C and 3C) was employed in experiments to mimic a realistic situation, i.e. variable C-rate rather than constant. The results show that the temperature of the battery cells can be kept below 30 degrees C with air cooling for variable discharge rate and the effect of contact resistance should not be overlooked for liquid cooling. Furthermore, the possible use of the proposed hybrid cold plates is surveyed in the cooling of electronic devices which produce more and continuous heat than cells. Therefore, three resistance heaters with a capacity of 50W are used in experiments as well. The results show that the proposed cold plates could be used in both electronics cooling and battery thermal management with a control algorithm to switch between sole working fluid and combination modes which could be developed based on the results of this paper.

    Design and Manufacturing of a Hip Joint Motion Simulator With a Novel Modular Design Approach
    (Springer, 2023) Torabnia, Shams; Mihçin, Şenay; Lazoğlu, İsmail
    The study is aimed to develop a hip joint wear simulator using a modular design approach to help experimentally monitor and control critical wear parameters to validate in-silico wear models. The proper control and application of wear parameters such as the range of motion, and the applied force values while estimating the lost material due to wear are essential for thorough analysis of wear phenomena for artificial joints. The simulator's dynamics were first modeled, then dynamic loading data was used to calculate the forces, which were further used for topology optimization to reduce the forces acting on each joint. The reduction of the link weights, connected to the actuators, intends to improve the quality of motion transferred to the femoral head. The modular design approach enables topology-optimized geometry, associated gravitational and dynamic forces, resulting in a cost-effective, energy-efficient product. Moreover, this design allows integration of the subject specific data by allowing different boundary conditions following the requirements of industry 5.0. Overall, the in-vitro motion stimulations of the hip-joint prosthesis and the modular design approach used in the study might help improve the accuracy and the effectiveness of wear simulations, which could lead into the development of better and longer-lasting joint prostheses for all. The subject-specific and society-based daily life data implemented as boundary conditions enable inclusion of the personalized effects. Next, with the results of the simulator, CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) application is intended to cover the personalized effects for previously excluded populations, providing solution to inclusive design for all.

    Investigation and Validation of the Flow Stress Equation and Damage Model Parameters of an Electron Beam Melted Ti6al4v Alloy With a Martensitic Phase
    (Elsevier, 2023) Güden, Mustafa; Bin Riaz, Arslan; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Yıldıztekin, Murat; Erten, Hacer İrem; Çimen, Gülden; Hızlı, Burak
    The Johnson and Cook flow stress and damage model parameters of an electron beam melt (EBM)-Ti64 alloy composed of & alpha;' (martensite) and & alpha;+& beta; and an extruded-annealed conventional Ti64 alloy were determined experimentally. The validities of the determined flow stress equations and damage model parameters were then verified by the numerical simulations of the compression tests on the Body Centered Cubic lattices produced using the same EBM parameters with the solid EBM samples. In addition, a compression flow stress equation was extracted from the small-size test specimens (1 and 2 mm diameter) taken directly from the struts of the as-built lattices. The microscopic observations, XRD analyses and hardness tests confirmed the presence of & alpha;& PRIME; phase in the EBM solid samples and in the struts of the BCC lattices, which reduced the ductility of the EBM solid specimens and struts compared to the conventional Ti64. Furthermore, the partially melt particles on the surfaces of the struts acted as the stress concentration sides for micro-cracking; hence, the compression flow stresses of the struts were found to be significantly lower than those of the as-built EBM solid specimens. The flow stress equation derived from the struts predicted more accurately the compression behavior of the lattices. The compression tests and models showed that early damage formation in the lattices was noted to decrease the initial peak and post peak stresses. As with the experiments, the initial damage occurred in the models with the separation of the nodes at the lattice cell surface edges. This resulted in an abrupt reduction in the stresses after the peak stress. The numerical lattices without damage showed a localized lattice deformation at the mid-sections and the stress increased continuously as a function of normal strain.

    Investigating the Effects of Pa66 Electrospun Nanofibers Layered Within an Adhesive Composite Joint Fabricated Under Autoclave Curing
    (American Chemical Society, 2023) Esenoğlu, Gözde; Tanoğlu, Metin; Barışık, Murat; İplikçi, Hande; Yeke, Melisa; Nuhoğlu, Kaan; Türkdoğan, Ceren; Martin, Seçkin; Aktaş, Engin; Dehneliler, Serkan; Gürbüz, Ahmet Ayberk; İriş, Mehmet Erdem
    Enhancing the performance of adhesively joined composite components is crucial for various industrial applications. In this study, polyamide 66 (PA66) nanofibers produced by electrospinning were coated on unidirectional carbon/epoxy prepregs to increase the bond strength of the composites. Carbon/epoxy prepregs with/without PA66 nanofiber coating on the bonding region were fabricated using the autoclave, which is often used in the aerospace industry. The single lap shear Charpy impact energy and Mode-I fracture toughness tests were employed to examine the effects of PA66 nanofibers on the mechanical properties of the joint region. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the nanofiber morphology and fracture modes. The thermal characteristics of Polyamide 66 nanofibers were explored by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We observed that the electrospun PA66 nanofiber coating on the prepreg surfaces substantially improves the joint strength. Results revealed that the single lap shear and Charpy impact strength values of the composite joint are increased by about 79 and 24%, respectively, by coating PA66 nanofibers onto the joining region. The results also showed that by coating PA66 nanofibers, the Mode-I fracture toughness value was improved by about 107% while the glass transition temperature remained constant.

    Influence of Recycled Carbon Fiber Addition on the Microstructure and Creep Response of Extruded Az91 Magnesium Alloy
    (KeAi Communications Co., 2023) Kandemir, Sinan; Bohlen, Jan; Dieringa, Hajo
    In this study, the recycled short carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced magnesium matrix composites were fabricated using a combination of stir casting and hot extrusion. The objective was to investigate the impact of CF content (2.5 and 5.0 wt.%) and fiber length (100 and 500 µm) on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and creep behavior of AZ91 alloy matrix. The microstructural analysis revealed that the CFs aligned in the extrusion direction resulted in grain and intermetallic refinement within the alloy. In comparison to the unreinforced AZ91 alloy, the composites with 2.5 wt.% CF exhibited an increase in hardness by 16–20% and yield strength by 5–15%, depending on the fiber length, while experiencing a reduction in ductility. When the reinforcement content was increased from 2.5 to 5.0 wt.%, strength values exhibited fluctuations and decline, accompanied by decreased ductility. These divergent outcomes were discussed in relation to fiber length, clustering tendency due to higher reinforcement content, and the presence of interfacial products with micro-cracks at the CF-matrix interface. Tensile creep tests indicated that CFs did not enhance the creep resistance of extruded AZ91 alloy, suggesting that grain boundary sliding is likely the dominant deformation mechanism during creep. © 2023

    A Review on Battery Thermal Management Strategies in Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries for Electric Vehicles
    (Yıldız Technical University, 2023) Güngör, Şahin; Göçmen, Sinan; Çetkin, Erdal
    Electrification on transportation and electricity generation via renewable sources play a vital role to diminish the effects of energy usage on the environment. Transition from the conven- tional fuels to renewables for transportation and electricity generation demands the storage of electricity in great capacities with desired power densities and relatively high C-rate values. Yet, thermal and electrical characteristics vary greatly depending on the chemistry and struc- ture of battery cells. At this point, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are more suitable in most applications due to their superiorities such as long lifetime, high recyclability, and capacities. However, exothermic electrochemical reactions yield temperature to increase suddenly which affects the degradation in cells, ageing, and electrochemical reaction kinetics. Therefore, strict temperature control increases battery lifetime and eliminates undesired situations such as lay- er degradation and thermal runaway. In the literature, there are many distinct battery thermal management strategies to effectively control battery cell temperatures. These strategies vary based on the geometrical form, size, capacity, and chemistry of the battery cells. Here, we focus on proposed battery thermal management strategies and current applications in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. In this review, various battery thermal management strategies are doc- umented and compared in detail with respect to geometry, thermal uniformity, coolant type and heat transfer methodology for Li-ion and post-lithium batteries.
