Neck Protection in Autonomous Car Crashes
(Kauno Technologijos Universitetas, 2020) Yavuz, Samet; Yavuz, S.; Himmetoglu, S.; Makine Mühendisliği
Autonomous cars which are expected to be on the market in the upcoming years, present new challenges to restraint system design since unconventional seating plans can put the occupants at more risk. For instance, an occupant sitting on a rear facing seat can experience higher risk of whiplash in a frontal impact considering the fact that statistically frontal impacts do happen at higher severities than rear impacts as seen in the crash test conditions of US NCAP. In this study, an improvement to car seat design is presented in which the seatback is automatically rotated into a more upright position prior to impact in order to increase the energy absorbing potential of the seatback. The study involves computer simulation of a seat-occupant system to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed system. © 2020 Kaunas University of Technology. All rights reserved.

Soğutma Yüküne Bağlı Olarak Set Sıcaklığı Değişen Hava Soğutmalı Soğutma Grubunun Performansının Deneysel İncelenmesi
(2017) Erşahin, Yasin; Türkoğlu, Haşmet
Alışılmış enerji kaynaklarının global enerji ihtiyacını karşılamadaki yetersizliği, her geçen gün enerji ihtiya- cının artması ve enerji üretiminden kaynaklanan çevre kirliliği gibi sebepler enerji verimliliğinin önemini artır- maktadır. Günümüzde bütün sektörlerde, enerjiyi ola- bildiğince verimli kullanabilecek teknikler geliştirilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Gelişmiş ülkeleri incelediğimizde, ısıt- ma ve soğutma alanındaki önceliklerde ilk sırayı enerji verimliliği almaktadır. Merkezi yaşam alanları için gerekli olan soğutma ih- tiyacı, gün veya sezon içerisinde sürekli değişiklik gös- termektedir. Mahaldeki insan sayısının ve hava hare- ketliliğinin değişmesiyle ihtiyaç olan soğutma yükü de değişmektedir. Mahale bağlı bulunan soğutma grubu- nun bu değişken soğutma yüküne göre kendini ayar- layıp, hızlı bir şekilde reaksiyon vermesi enerjinin daha verimli kullanılmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, standart soğutma grubu kontrol tekniği ve adaptif algoritmalı kontrol tekniği ile kontrol edilen bir soğutma grubunun performansı ve enerji tüketimi, deneysel olarak incelenmiş ve sonuçlar karşılaştırma- lı olarak sunulmuştur. Testlerde, her iki kontrol sistemi için değişken soğutma yükü sağlanması amacıyla ciha- zın evaporatör su giriş sıcaklığı 12-7°C arasında de- ğiştirilerek, soğutma grubu kompresörlerinin devreye girmesi ve devreden çıkması sağlanmıştır. Tam ve kıs- mi soğutma yükleri altında yapılan ölçümlerde, adap- tif kontrol sistemi ile kontrol edilen soğutma grubunun, standart kontrol sistemine göre ortalama %10,72 daha az enerji tükettiği ve toplam ekserji yıkımının ise orta- lama % 6,23 daha az olduğu görülmüştür.

Performance and Surface Alloying Characteristics of Cu-Cr and Cu-Mo Powder Metal Tool Electrodes in Electrical Discharge Machining
(Taylor & Francis inc, 2016) Uslan, Ibrahim; Usta, Yusuf; Cogun, Can; Gulcan, Orhan
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Cu-Cr and Cu-Mo powder metal (PM) tool electrodes on electrical discharge machining (EDM) performance outputs. The EDM performance measures used in the study are material removal rate (MRR), tool electrode wear rate (EWR), average workpiece surface roughness (R-a), machined workpiece surface hardness, abrasive wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and workpiece alloyed layer depth and composition. The EDM performance of Cu-Cr and Cu-Mo PM electrodes produced at three different mixing ratios (15, 25, and 35wt% Cr or Mo), compacting pressures (P-c = 600, 700, and 800MPa), and sintering temperatures (T-s = 800, 850, and 900 degrees C) are compared with those machined with electrolytic Cu and Cu PM electrodes when machining SAE 1040 steel workpiece. Analyses revealed that tool materials were deposited as a layer over the work surface yielding high surface hardness, strong abrasion, and corrosion resistance. Moreover, the mixing ratio, P-c, and T-s affect the MRR, EWR, and R-a values.

(Levrotto and Bella, 2015) Selvi, Ö.; Selvi, Özgün; Ceccarelli, M.; Aytar, E.B.; Makine Mühendisliği
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.

Electrostatic Energy Harvesting by Droplet-Based Multi-Phase Microfluidics
(Springer Heidelberg, 2012) Kulah, Haluk; Yildirim, Ender
This paper presents an energy scavenging technique, merging microfluidics with electrostatic energy harvesting. The method employs droplet-based microflow of two phases with different electrical permittivities, resulting in a capacitance change across the microchannel, to harvest electrical energy. The technique is implemented on 3 mm wide, 1 mm deep minichannels. It is shown that 0.4 nW can be harvested using a single electrode pair, with air and water as the two phases flowing at 1 ml/min. The generated power can be increased significantly by microscale implementation, where the number of electrodes can also be increased for further improvement.

C3: Configurable Can Fd Controller: Architecture, Design and Hardware Implementation
(Ieee, 2017) Afsin, Mehmet Ertug; Schmidt, Klaus Werner; Schmidt, Ece Guran
CAN FD (Controller Area Network with Flexible Data Rate) is a new standard which provides a fast data rate while preserving the compatibility with CAN. In this paper, we propose the C-3 (Configurable CAN FD Controller) IP core architecture, which is compatible with the non-ISO CAN FD standard. C-3 supports up to 96 transmit and receive buffers. The transmit buffers are organized as mailboxes with CAN ID prioritization in frame transmission. A separate filter mask that can be configured by the user exists for each receive buffer. Different from existing CAN/CAN FD controllers, the numbers and sizes of transmit and receive buffers of C-3 can be configured at run time. To this end, C-3 enables the best use of a single controller hardware for different applications and enables improving the real-time communication performance. C-3 communicates with the host device over SPI without any specific interface requirements using the protocol that is developed in the scope of this paper. C-3 is implemented on an FPGA Evaluation Board and its functionality is verified at a data rate of 2 Mbps.

Improvement of Electric Discharge Machining (Edm) Performance of Ti-6al Alloy With Added Graphite Powder To Dielectric
(Assoc Mechanical Engineers Technicians Slovenia, 2015) Cogun, Can; Unses, Emre
Ti-6Al-4V is a well-known Ti alloy widely used in the aerospace industry and belongs to the group of difficult-to-machine materials. It is less suitable for both conventional chip removal (machining) techniques and electric discharge machining (EDM). The very low material removal rate (MRR) of the Ti alloys during the EDM process causes prohibitively long machining durations. The goal of this study was to improve the EDM performance of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy by the addition of graphite powder into the kerosene dielectric liquid. The EDM performance was quantified by MRR, tool electrode wear rate (EWR), relative wear (RW), surface roughness and texture properties. The experiments conducted have shown that the use of graphite powder mixed with the kerosene dielectric (GPMKD) during machining considerably increases the MRR, improves the R-a and R-z(DIN) surface roughness and decreases the RW. 3D topographic views of the machined workpiece surfaces attained with GPMKD revealed uniformly distributed surface valleys and peaks over the surface and peaks with short arid round tops since the discharge energy of a spark is distributed over a large area at the machining gap. The experimental results strongly indicate the adaptability of the proposed technique to EDM die sinking and EDM drilling applications of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the aerospace industry. The ED machining performance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy using GPMKD is also compared to that of AISI 1040 steel, which is commonly used in EDM applications.

Gözenekli Düz Bir Yüzeye Çarpan Jetin Sayısal Olarak İncelenmesi
(2017) Elibol, Emre Aşkın; Türkoğlu, Haşmet
Bu çalışmada, gözenekli malzeme ile kaplanmış sabit sıcaklıkta tutulan düz levha üzerine çarpan jetin akış ve ısı transferine etkileri nümerik olarak incelenmiştir. Birbirine paralel olarak duran, iki yatay levhadan biri olan alt levha, gözenekli bir tabaka ile kaplanmış ve üst levhanın ortasında bulunan lüleden çıkan hava jeti alt levhaya çarptırılmıştır. Gözenekli tabakanın katı matrisi ile akışkan arasında yerel ısıl denge olduğu kabul edilerek, laminar ve kararlı rejim için çözümler yapılmıştır. Gözeneklilik, gözenekli tabakanın kalınlığı ve jet Reynolds sayısının farklı değerlerinde simülasyonlar yapılarak, bu parametrelerin yerel Nusselt sayısı’na (Nu) etkileri analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, yatay (x) yönde; yerel Nu sayıları ve sıcak alt levhadan olan ısı akıları, gözenekli tabaka bulunmayan durum ile karşılaştırılarak yorumlanmıştır. Analizler için yazılım paketi olan ANSYS Fluent yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, sıcak levha yüzeyinin gözenekli tabaka ile kaplandığı durumlarda, gözenekli malzemenin belirli gözeneklilik ve kalınlık değerleri aralığında olması halinde, ısı transferinin gözenekli tabaka kullanılmayan duruma göre daha etkin olduğunu göstermiştir.

Small-Scale Mechanical Properties of Additively Manufactured Ti-6al
(The University of Texas at Austin, 2020) Totuk, Onat Halis; Haghshenas, M.; Totuk, O.; Masoomi, M.; Thompson, S.M.; Shamsaei, N.; Mekatronik Mühendisliği
This article aims at studying microstructure and nano/micro-scale mechanical responses of Ti-6Al4V fabricated using a Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) method. To this end, an instrumented depth-sensing nanoindentation system has been used to assess hardness, Young's modulus, strain rate sensitivity and rate dependent plastic deformation of the alloy at different build Orientations (in the Z-plane and X-plane) at ambient temperature. Indentation tests were conducted at constant proportional loading rate of 15 mN/s in a depth-controlled (hind=2000 nm) testing regime. The Microstructure characterizations were performed using optical and scanning electron microscopy to assess the correlations to the mechanical properties achieved by the nanoindentation testing to better establish structure-property relationships for L-PBF Ti-6Al-4V. It is expected that the fine microstructure, developed by fast solidification during the L-PBF process, to directly contribute to the nanoindentation measurements at different strain rates.

Parametric Analysis of an Anti-Whiplash System Composed of a Seat Suspension Arrangement
(Springer Heidelberg, 2015) Ider, Sitki Kemal; Gokler, Mustafa Ilhan; Ozdemir, Mustafa
Neck injuries frequently seen in low-speed rear-end collisions are referred to as whiplash injuries. Most of the proposed anti-whiplash systems in the literature rely on reducing the backset. A relatively new and promising alternative concept is a slideable seat. This study aimed to parametrically analyze an anti-whiplash vehicle seat that can slide backward against a horizontal suspension arrangement composed of a spring and a damper in response to a rear-end collision, and to investigate the effects of the suspension parameters on the injury risk. A simplified model of a slideable vehicle seat is developed, and simulations are conducted in LS-DYNA (R) environment using this slideable seat model and the commercially available finite element model of the BioRID II dummy. The maximum value of the Neck Injury Criterion (NICmax) is used as the measure of the injury risk. As a result, a strong linear inverse correlation is observed between NICmax and the maximum seat sliding distance, while the stiffness and damping coefficients of the suspension are varied. This result is also verified by obtaining the same NICmax value for the same maximum seat sliding distance (although the stiffness and damping coefficients are different). It is also shown that, for a given backset value as large as 60 mm, a slideable seat with the suspension parameters selected to yield a reasonable maximum seat sliding distance such as 100 mm significantly improves NICmax compared to a standard seat. As the maximum seat sliding distance is increased, the injury risk becomes smaller.
EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF FLOW OVER A PICKUP TRUCK
(2021) İnce, İbrahim Timuçin; Mercan, Hatice; Onur, Nevzat
The drag forces and the overall drag coefficient of a typical pickup truck are investigated experimentally and the 3D numerical analysis is performed. A detailed 1/4-scale model is constructed and experiments are performed at Reynolds numbers around 2 × 106in the Ankara Wind Tunnel (ART). The experimental study is divided into two stages: in the first stage the pressure distribution along the symmetry axis is measured and in the second stage the drag forces and overall drag coefficient are measured at five different wind speeds. The measured data are compared with the 3D numerical simulation performed in FLUENT. The turbulence standard, realizable, and RNG k-∈ models, the standard and SST k-ω models, and finally the RSM are compared for three near-wall treatments: standard wall function, nonequilibrium wall function, and enhanced wall function. The comparison revealed that for lower velocities the best turbulence model-wall treatment couple is the realizable k-∈ model with Reynolds stress model with standard wall function, whereas for higher velocities the standard k-∈ turbulence model is observed to be more compatible with experimental data. The highest pressure value is measured in front of the pickup truck and the lowest pressure value is evaluated at the rim where the windshield and the roof meet. © 2021 Begell House Inc..

Exploring the Potential of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Enhancing the Performance of an Inline Pipe Turbine
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2024) Celebioglu, Kutay; Ayli, Ece; Cetinturk, Huseyin; Tascioglu, Yigit; Aradag, Selin
In this study, investigations were conducted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to assess the applicability of a Francis-type water turbine within a pipe. The objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of implementing a turbine within a pipe and enhance its performance values within the operating range. The turbine within the pipe occupies significantly less space in hydroelectric power plants since a spiral casing is not used to distribute the flow to stationary vanes. Consequently, production and assembly costs can be reduced. Hence, there is a broad scope for application, particularly in small and medium-scale hydroelectric power plants. According to the results, the efficiency value increases on average by approximately 1.5% compared to conventional design, and it operates with higher efficiencies over a wider flow rate range. In the second part of the study, machine learning was employed for the efficiency prediction of an inline-type turbine. An appropriate Artificial Neural Network (ANN) architecture was initially obtained, with the Bayesian Regularization training algorithm proving to be the best approach for this type of problem. When the suitable ANN architecture was utilized, the prediction was found to be in good agreement with CFD, with an root mean squared error value of 0.194. An R2 value of 0.99631 was achieved with the appropriate ANN architecture.

Development and Experimental Investigation of Electrochemical Drilling Method Using Rotary Tube Tool
(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2013) Ozerkan, H. Bekir; Çoğun, Can; Cogun, Can; Mekatronik Mühendisliği
In this study, a new hybrid electrochemical drilling (ECD) method, based on electrochemical machining in nonconventional machining processes, was developed. In the developed method, tube tool makes rotary motion together with inner through hole flushing. A small scale prototype ECD machine has been designed and manufactured to test the developed method. One of the important features of the new system is the regulation of tool feed rate using current feedback control. The Hadfield (manganese) steel, whose strain hardening behavior makes it very difficult to machine with conventional methods, and AISI 1040 steel, whose machinability is fairly good, were drilled using the prototype machine and results were compared. Workpiece material removal rate increased with the increasing machining voltage, tool rotational speed, electrolyte concentration and flushing pressure in both types of steels. Average radial overcut values increased with the rotational speed of the tool. The AISI 1040 steel hole geometries were regular than that of Hadfield steel. Experimental results showed that deep holes can be drilled successfully with the proposed hybrid ECD method.
