Design and Optimization of a Walking Over-Constrained Mechanism
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2019) Ceccarelli, M.; Selvi, Ö.; 46949; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.06. Makine Mühendisliği
In this paper, a walking overconstrained mechanism with one DoF is presented. Firstly, its dimensional parameters and geometry are shown and a step profile which is wanted to be followed by end point of the walking mechanism is proposed. Kinematic equations of the walking mechanism are extracted to use them later as constraints for Firefly Algorithm. Algorithm is run in get the optimized dimensional parameters to provide the desired step profile. Results are presented. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Effects of Earthquake Motion on Mechanism Operation: an Experimental Approach
(Levrotto and Bella, 2015) Selvi, Ö.; Selvi, Özgün; Ceccarelli, M.; Aytar, E.B.; 46949; Makine Mühendisliği; 06.06. Makine Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
This paper presents an experimental characterization of the effects of earthquakes on the operation of mechanical systems with the help of CaPaMan (Cassino Parallel Manipulator), which is a 3 DOF robot that can fairly well simulate 3D earthquake motion. The sensitivity of operation characteristics of machinery to earthquake disturbance is identified and characterized through experimental tests. Experimental tests have been carried out by using a slider-crank linkage, a small car model, and LARM Hand as test-bed mechanisms that have been sensored with proper acceleration or force sensors. Results are reported and discussed to describe the effects of earthquake motion on the characteristics of mechanism operation as a service application of the robotic CaPaMan system.
Integrating Un Sustainable Development Goals Into Mechanical Engineering Electives: a Modular Approach
(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Totuk, O.H.; Selvi, O.; Ceccarelli, M.; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.08. Mekatronik Mühendisliği; 06.06. Makine Mühendisliği
This paper presents an innovative approach to incorporating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, focusing on elective courses in the third and fourth years of study. The proposed method introduces a standardized 3-h module for each elective, comprising two hours of theoretical instruction and one hour of practical application. This modular approach ensures consistent exposure to sustainability concepts across various specialized topics within Mechanical Engineering. The theoretical component covers relevant SDGs, their implications for engineering practice, and potential technological solutions. The practical segment includes tailored activities, labs, or design challenges that apply sustainability principles to the specific subject matter of each elective. This integration strategy not only enhances students’ understanding of global sustainability challenges but also equips them with the skills to address these issues within their future engineering careers. The paper discusses the development process of these modules, potential challenges in implementation, and preliminary feedback from faculty and students. By systematically embedding sustainability into existing courses, this approach offers a scalable and efficient method for engineering programs to produce graduates who are both technically proficient and sustainability-conscious, ready to contribute to a more sustainable future. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Redesign and Construction of a Low-Cost Capaman Prototype
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Karaahmet, S. B.; Selvi, O.; Cafolla, D.; Ceccarelli, M.; Arslan, O.; 46949; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.06. Makine Mühendisliği
In this paper a redesign solution for CaPaMan structure is presented to build a scaled low-cost prototype with market components and 3D printed parts. A CAD design is worked out to define 3D printing manufacturing for link parts and to adjust the mechanical design and its assembly after performance evaluation ensuring characteristic features of CaPaMan operation. A small-size prototype is built and tested with satisfactory functioning.
