Having many superior properties compared to conventional materials, shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been studied and used in many engineering applications over the last four decades. As one of the commonly used SMAs, NiTi ...

In this thesis, it is aimed to opto-mechanical design of a military vehicle headlight system that provides illumination with high efficiency solid-state leds and perform thermal and structural analysis with finite element ...

Compatibility of a compliant equivalent for a double wishbone suspension is assessed in this thesis. Reference rigid double wishbone suspension is taken from a small-scale model car. Rear left suspension of this model car ...

Around the world, the defence industry is of great importance due to continuous and changing diplomatic balances. The importance of the industry is increasing day by day. At this point, air defence missile systems are one ...

The aim of this study was to develop an artificial neural network model in order to estimate stress intensity factor values of two different types of semi elliptical surface cracked plates which have no explicit stress ...

In this thesis study, it is aimed to investigate the mechanical design and structural analysis of the cooling pump which is going to be used in the aerospace industry. As this product is intended to be used in the aerospace ...

The defense industry is the fastest growing sector with technological developments all over the world. Autonomous and remote controlled weapons are regarded the most advanced weapons in today’s battlefields. In this ...

In recent years, piezoelectric fans have been investigated for forced convection heat transfer applications as an alternative to conventional fans. Basically, it consists of a piezoelectric and a non-piezoelectric patch. ...

Nickel-rich (%50.7.at.) Nickel-Titanium Shape Memory Alloys which were commercially obtained from two different suppliers have been subjected to thermo-mechanical processing for one hour via aging under stress at 450°C ...

In this thesis, the active differential working based on the principle of the torque transfer is dealt to build up an alternative to the other standardized active control systems working based on the principle of the braking ...
