A remote-controlled weapon system can be integrated into the naval and ground platforms. The weapon system and its sub-units are exposed to the vibration that comes from the platform on which the weapon system is fitted. ...

In the aviation industry, a design with a sensitive and low margin is more important than any vehicle production. Within the scope of this study, the design road map of a product intended to be used in fighter aircraft is ...

This thesis combines the knowledge base of the Compliant Mechanism (CM) with the Constant Force Mechanism (CFM) based upon previous works, which initiate and trigger the key principles of design techniques and simplification ...

In this study, model-based and data-driven H∞ robust controller synthesis methods are developed for line of sight control problem of stabilized platforms. Within the scope of the study, frequency response functions of the ...

Since the dark periods of history, human beings are in a continuous development with the aim of making their lives easier. With every progress of human beings, world resources are rapidly depleted. The spread of industrialization ...

In present work, weight optimization and weight reduction of composite wing rib design which is one of the wing structural components used in aircraft wing design are studied. As a result of the optimization study on ...

Aluminium and aluminium alloys are widely used in production of electrical conductors, owing to their mechanical strength and electrical conductivity properties. Also, aluminium is cheaper and lighter than copper. Thus, ...

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are unique materials due to their shape recover characteristics. These materials can work against load with their shape recover ability, which lead them to be used as actuators in aerospace ...

The aim of this thesis is to increase the mobility capabilities of wheeled military vehicles by designing a preview control strategy with Model Predictive Controller (MPC). Mobility capabilities of a military vehicle such ...
