Elastomerlerin Sayısal Yöntemlerle Analizi ve Şekilsel Döküm Yöntemi ile Darbelere Dayanıklı Robot Geliştirilmesi

Abstract

The robotic and its evolution in recent years is one of the most transformative inventions of man. Over years innovations have made robots faster, more intelligent and smart. Modern robots utilize increasing numbers of cameras, sensors, actuators and etc. Some of these mechatronic devices are sensitive to applied acceleration and or stress. More electronic devices are expected to provide more functionality whilst remaining safe when using in harsh environment. In this thesis, the ultimate goal is to design a rugged robot which provides maximum level of protection for sensitive components. This performance would be satisfied by embedding the electronic devices into a host objects made by rubber-like materials; which are widely used in decreasing intensity of impact loads or acceleration. Polyurethane elastomers are viscoelastic rubber-like materials with very wide shore hardness which provide different dynamic properties.
