Today, line-following robots are being used in the industrial field in accordance with the emerging technology. For a while, line-following robots have begun conducting the transport operations generally carried out by ...

In general, magnesium alloys exhibit the attractive combinations of low densities (1.74 g/cm3 versus 2.7 g/cm3 for Al) and high specific strength values (comparable or greater than that of precipitation strengthened ...

This work is prepared with the support of TÜBİTAK Project named “Designing and Manufacturing of Energy Efficient Various-Surface Climbing Robots Utilizing Micro-Fibers for Surveillance, Inspection, and Security Purposes” ...

Functionally graded materials (FGM) are multifunctional composite materials whose mechanical properties vary smoothly and continuously from one side to the other. Due this continuous change in composition of the constituent ...

The neccesity to climbing robots is triggered by many problems. High risk involved works which are carried out by humans require high cost and risk of human’s life. For example building climbing stages and similar ...

The subject of this thesis is the design of innovative, high performance ABS (Antilock Braking System) control algorithms that are scheduled with road and driving conditions for passenger vehicles equipped with electromechanical ...

Demand on scratch resistant coatings in automotive, construction, food and other similar sectors is rising. The paints used in automotive industry can be scratched with small forces. This is a factor that decreases the ...

In this thesis a theoretical investigation in free vibration of a functionally graded tapered (FG) micro beam is presented. It is assumed that material properties vary along the beam thickness according to power law ...

Sheet steels used for special ball bearing rings have not only different chemical compositions than standard ball bearing steels but also have to be subjected to different manufacturing techniques in order to achieve ...

Compliant mechanisms have recently been come into prominence and have been used very often in practical applications owing to their various advantages. Nevertheless there are very few studies and data in the literature ...
