In air platforms, structures encountered many types of loadings. During the design stage, all these loadings have to be considered very carefully in order to avoid catastrophic failures. One of the major concerns for ...

This research was carried out for the thermodynamic analysis of a binary geothermal power plant and its thermoeconomic optimization based on the results obtained. In this context, initially, data related to the design ...

The aim of this thesis is to create a simulation environment that can model non-linear dynamics of tracked vehicles and wheeled vehicles including track-ground and tire-ground relations. Firstly, three different tracked ...

Bird strike incidents have been important issue since begining of aviation, and importance of bird strikes increase day by day. Number of bird strike incident are going to continue increasing because of developing aviation ...

In this thesis, a target geolocation measurement model for a fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle which equipped with an image processing system and standard sensors has been created. The measurement model begins to calculate ...

In this thesis, a flight envelope protection system was developed for a helicopter in autorotation to prevent main rotor speed limit exceedance. A rotor speed estimation model was developed using a neural network based ...

Nowadays, multi-rotor systems are widely used in military, civil and academic applications thanks to their cheap, simple and suitable structures for use in different areas such as surveillance and load carrying. On the ...

The aim of this thesis is to determine and understand the characteristic of impact loading and reaction of different materials colliding to each other. In engineering area, especially for moving mechanisms, such designs ...

In the guidance literature, various requirements on missile guidance performance have arisen and a significant number of research has been presented on these requirements. Ensuring a successful hit on the target is one of ...

Mechanical systems are major sources of sound radiations and vibrations, even in their good operating conditions. The vibro-acoustic transfer functions of mechanical systems are crucial in Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) ...
