A new algorithm for u-shaped two-sided assembly line balancing
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2010) Yegul, Mustafa Fatih; Yavuz, Mustafa; Agpak, Kursad; Yavuz, Mustafa; Malzeme Bilimi ve Mühendisliği
This study introduces a new hybrid design for a specific case-of assembly lines, and proposes a multi-pass random assignment algorithm to find the minimum number of stations required. The algorithm also finds the sequence and the schedule of the tasks assigned. The new design is a combination of two-sided lines and U-shaped lines, which benefits from the advantages of both designs at the same time. One side of the line is arranged in U-shape allowing stations with crossovers, and the other side of the line is balanced like a traditional straight flow. Depending on product direction, either Left or Right side of the line can be designed in U-shape. Small and large-sized two-sided assembly line test-bed problems were solved using the algorithm. Optimal results are achieved for all small-sized problems. Due to the novelty Of the design, results of large-sized problems are compared to findings of studies on simple two-sided balancing. Algorithm produced better results in most of the cases.

(Korean Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2022) Akyurek, Turgut; Akyürek, Turgut; Makine Mühendisliği
In this study, kinetics and kinematics of perforation process for various penetrator-target plate combinations is analyzed, a methodology in a flow chart format to decide on failure mode, and for each failure mode, an appropriate combined analytical model that requires only common test data is proposed. The proposed methodology and analytical models that are recommended for the related failure mode are assessed by using a huge amount of test data from the literature. The penetrator-target plate configurations cover the penetrators with ogive, conical, hemi-spherical and blunt noses, at different plate thicknesses, and plate thickness to penetrator diameter ratios, made of different metallic materials. Analyzed failure modes include ductile hole enlargement, plugging, dishing, and petal forming. Assessment is done for impact velocities ranging between 215-863 m/s. The estimations based on the proposed flow chart and recommended failure models are in good agreement with the related test data and numerical analysis results.

Analysıs Of Heat Transfer Enhancement In Tubes Wıth Capsule Dımpled Surfaces And Al2o3-Water Nanofluıd
(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2022) Yapici, Ekin Ozgirgin; Türkoğlu, Haşmet; Ibrahim, Mahmoud Awni A. Haj; Turkoglu, Hasmet; 31329; Makine Mühendisliği
This study aims to numerically investigate and evaluate the enhancement of heat transfer by new capsule dimples on tube surfaces for flow of water and Al2O3-water nanofluid with different concentrations, under uniform surface heat flux. The originality of this work lies in combining two passive heat transfer enhancement methods such as geometrical improvements and nanofluids together. Capsule dimples with different depths were considered. Al2O3- water nanofluid was modeled as a single-phase flow based on the mixture properties. The effects of dimple depth and nanoparticle concentrations on Nusselt number, friction factor and performance evaluation criteria (PEC) were studied. Numerical computations were performed using ANSYS Fluent commercial software for 2000-14000 Reynolds number range. It was found that when laminar, transient and fully developed turbulent flow cases are considered, increase in the dimple depth increases the Nusselt number and friction factor for both pure water and Al2O3-water nanofluids cases. Also, the friction factor increases as dimple depth increases. Results show that increase in PEC is more pronounced in the laminar region than in the transition region, it starts to decrease for turbulent flows. For nanofluid, PEC values are considerably higher than pure water cases. The variation of PEC for capsule dimpled tubes are dependent on flow regimes and dimple depths. Increasing the nano particle volume concentration and dimple depth in laminar flows increase the PEC significantly.

ANN and ANFIS Performance Prediction models for Francis type Turbines
(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2020) Ayli, Ece; Ulucak, Oguzhan; 265836
Turbines can be operated under partial loading conditions due to the seasonal precipitation fluctuations and due to the needed electrical demand over time. According to this partial working need, designers generate hill chart diagrams to observe the system behavior under different flow rates and head values. In order to generate a hill chart, several numerical or experimental studies have been performed at different guide vane openings and head values which are very time consuming and expensive. In this study, the efficiency prediction of Francis turbines has been performed with ANN and ANFIS methods under different operating conditions and compared with simulation results. The obtained results indicate that it is possible to obtain a hill chart using ANFIS method instead of a costly experimental or numerical tests. ANN and ANFIS parameters which effect the output, have been optimized with trying 100 different cases. 75% of the numerical data set is used for training and 25 % is used for validation as testing data. To asses and compare the performance of multiple ANN and ANFIS models several statistical indicators have been used. Insight to the performance evaluation, it is seen that ANFIS can predict the efficiency distribution with higher accuracy than the ANN model. The developed ANFIS model predicts the efficiency with 1.41% mean average percentage error and 0.999 R-2 value. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first study in the literature that ANN and ANFIS are used in order to predict the efficiency distribution of the turbines at different loading conditions.

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; 132262; 3837; 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.

(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2021) Cicek, Burak Can; İder, Sıtkı Kemal; Acar, Bulent; Ider, S. Kemal; 108608; Makine Mühendisliği
This paper investigates the dynamic response of a heavy military vehicle which is subjected to a dynamic firing load while it is settled on its outriggers. Dynamic behaviour of a settled heavy military vehicle under a dynamic firing load is one of the major design factors of a launching vehicle. Two different finite element (FE) models are created in ANSYS software to obtain the dynamic behaviour of the launching vehicle. The first model is a detailed finite element model (DFEM) and the second model is a simple and less degree of freedom (DOF) parametric FE model which is created with the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) in order to perform the design optimisation by swiftly varying the parameters such as clamp attachment positions on the chassis, outrigger deployment and outrigger case cross section.

Experimental Study and Theoretical Investigation of High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Micro-Cogeneration Application
(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2018) Devrim, Yilser; Ozgirgin Yapici, Ekin; 31329
In this study, a house hold micro-cogeneration system is designed using high temperature proton exchange membrane (HTPEM) fuel cell. HTPEM type fuel cells gain the highest interest lately, due to their advantages in terms of increasing efficiency and power quality, reducing harmful emissions and flexibility of operation with respect to the other fuels. The micro-cogeneration system involves producing both electrical energy and hot water and/or vapor together in an economical way, utilizing single fuel (HTPEM fuel cells) for household applications. During the operation of the fuel cell, for high efficiency and stable power production, the access heat of the stack should be removed constantly and the temperature of the stack should be held stable. Heat recovered from the designed innovative cooling system is used for acquiring energy for heating water. This way, thermal efficiency is almost doubled compared to simple cycle. In the scope of this study, 225 W HTPEM fuel cell stack is designed and tested at 160 degrees C operation temperature with hydrogen gas and air. During operation, for homogenous distribution of temperature among the cells, for a short start up period leading to a fast required steady state temperature and for constantly removing the access heat produced in the cell, the cell stack is cooled by using a cooling fluid (Heat Transfer Oil 32- Petrol Ofisi). Selection of insulation material type and thickness for the cell stack is done using natural convection and radiation loss calculations. For the most efficient operating conditions, micro-cogeneration system water inlet and exit temperatures, water and cooling fluid flow rates, convenient pipe diameter and pump power calculations are done to finalize the design. With the cogeneration system designed during the studies, by recovering the access heat of the insulated HTPEM cell stack, district water with initial temperature of 15-20 degrees C is heated around 50 degrees C. Data gathered during studies indicate that fuel cell micro-cogeneration application is highly viable.

Hybrid force and motion control of flexible joint parallel manipulators using inverse dynamics approach
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Korkmaz, Ozan; İder, Sıtkı Kemal; Ider, S. Kemal; 108608; Makine Mühendisliği
An inverse dynamics control algorithm is developed for hybrid motion and contact force trajectory tracking control of flexible joint parallel manipulators. First, an open-tree structure is considered by the disconnection of adequate number of unactuated joints. The loop closure constraint equations are then included. Elimination of the joint reaction forces and the other intermediate variables yield a fourth-order relation between the actuator torques and the end-effector position and contact force variables, showing that the control torques do not have an instantaneous effect on the end-effector contact forces and accelerations because of the flexibility. The proposed control law provides simultaneous and asymptotically stable control of the end-effector contact forces and the motion along the constraint surfaces by utilizing the feedback of positions and velocities of the actuated joints and rotors. A two degree of freedom planar parallel manipulator is considered as an example to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

Kinematic Analyses of Metallic Plate Perforation by Penetrators with Various Nose Geometries
(defence Scientific information Documentation Centre, 2022) Akyurek, T.; Akyürek, Turgut; Makine Mühendisliği
This study analyses kinematics of a metallic plate perforation by a penetrator with truncated ogive nose geometry to find solutions also to blunt, conical, ogive, and hemi-spherical nosed penetrators. Plugging, ductile hole enlargement, dishing, and petal forming failure modes are used in the analyses. Acceleration throughout perforation is calculated by using the related failure mode, analytical model, and the target-penetrator interaction geometry. Depending on the failure model; back lip and front lip formation during ductile hole enlargement, plug formation during plugging, and deflection of target plate during dishing is also analysed. Analyses are based on projectile???s equation of motion, momentum and energy equations, and projectile-target plate interactions. The analyses results for selected cases, with the impact velocity range 215-863 m/s, are compared with the test data. The residual velocity estimation for a strike velocity is close to the related test data with an error of 0.3-2.2 %, except for conical nosed penetrators at impact velocities approaching the ballistic limit velocity.

Modeling and Optimization of a Peano-HASEL Actuator Peristaltic Pump
(Natl inst Science Communication-niscair, 2023) Totuk, Onat Halis; Totuk, Onat Halis; Mistikoglu, Selcuk; 284521; Mekatronik Mühendisliği
Peano-Hasel (hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic) pumps are crucial devices with unique mechanisms and versatile applications. They simulate muscle contractions to move fluids or materials through tubes. The Peano-Hasel method, a specific design, achieves flow by compressing a segmented tube externally. Exploring the design aspects of Peano-Hasel pumps can lead to advancements in optimizing their performance, efficiency, reliability, and control systems. This paper presents a novel method of peristaltic pumping on soft pipes using Peano-HASEL actuators. In the study, a design evaluation of an external ring-type pump over a PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane -commonly referred to as silicone) tube containing Newtonian fluids is made, and a novel multi-pouch ring shape design is proposed. Our method utilizes a peripheral and compact design that allows for more efficient sinusoidal pumping action. The close proximity of the rings in the longitudinal direction enhances the effectiveness of the pumping process. The actuator is analytically modeled and optimized for maximum areal contraction and flow rate using a differential evolution algorithm. A MATLAB Simulink Simscape model is generated, and the system is simulated. As a result, an optimal solution for the number of pouches was found to be eight, considering ring geometry and applicability. It was also seen from the simulation that a sinusoidal squeezing scheme of a ring-type pump creates the desired action. Based on the analytical model presented, it has been demonstrated that the optimal flow rate is achieved when there are eight pouches, and they are fully circular after being energized.

Numerical analysis of a commercial display cabinet with air curtain
(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2011) Caliskan, Sinan; Altunok, Taner; Altunok, Taner; Baskaya, Senol; Gungunes, H. Murat; Makine Mühendisliği
Maintaining food temperatures below critical values is the important maximising the high quality display life of chilled foods. Air curtains are especially used in stores and retailer supermarkets as barrier systems to seperate inner and outer spaces from each other. For both air quality and energy saving, it is crucial that the air transfer between these two spaces are at minimum. Minimization of air transfer between inner and outer spaces, not only decreases heat transfer but also stabilizes the humidity balance. In this study, numerical analysis of a commercial display cabinet has been carried out. For this purpose PHOENICS, a computational fluid dynamics code, is utilized. Optimum jet system conditions for each of the one jet, two jet and there jet systems has been modified according to temperature change of the air, and comparisons among them have been made. The results indicate that, the results the both CFD analysis and experimental results are almost equal and refrigeration systems with three jets is required to obtain the necessary temperature values to keep products fresh in display cabinets, especially because they can distribute temperature in a homogeneous way, meaning that the temperature value is the best ideal system at every point in the cabinet with three jets.

Numerical analysis of pulsating circular impinging laminar jet on a planar disc
(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2017) Kahroba, Mitra; Türkoğlu, Haşmet; Turkoglu, Hasmet; 12941; Makine Mühendisliği
In this study, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of pulsating circular air jets impinging on a flat surface were numerically analyzed. The jet velocity pulsated in time. The objective of the work is to investigate the influence of the jet Reynolds number, pulsation amplitude and pulsation frequency on the rate of heat transfer from the target hot surface. For the analysis, a computer program, based on the control volume method and SIMPLE algorithm, was developed. Laminar flow with the time averaged jet Reynolds numbers between 300 and 700 were analyzed. The pulsation amplitude is ranged between 0.0V(0) (steady jet) and 0.8V(0) (m/s) (V-0 is period averaged jet velocity), and the frequency is ranged between 1 and 6 Hz. The nozzle-to-plate distance was kept constant at H/d=3. From the simulation results, it was observed that at any instant of the pulsation period, the local Nusselt number is maximum at the stagnation point, and it decreases along the plate. This decrease in the local Nusselt number is not monatomic as in the steady jet cases. It has local maximum and minimum values (fluctuations) due to the moving recirculating flow regions along the bottom plate. At low frequencies, the time (period) averaged stagnation point Nusselt numbers are lower than the corresponding steady jet Nusselt numbers. However, with the increasing frequency, the stagnation point Nusselt number increases and become higher than the steady jet Nusselt number.

On the stability of inverse dynamics control of flexible-joint parallel manipulators in the presence of modeling error and disturbances
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019) Ider, Sitki Kemal; İder, Sıtkı Kemal; Korkmaz, Ozan; Denizli, Mustafa Semih; 108608; Makine Mühendisliği
Inverse dynamics control is considered for flexible-joint parallel manipulators in order to obtain a good trajectory tracking performance in the case of modeling error and disturbances. It is known that, in the absence of modeling error and disturbance, inverse dynamics control leads to linear fourth-order error dynamics, which is asymptotically stable if the feedback gains are chosen to make the real part of the eigenvalues of the system negative. However, when there are modeling errors and disturbances, a linear time-varying error dynamics is obtained whose stability is not assured only by keeping the real parts of the frozen-time eigenvalues of the system negative. In this paper, the stability of such systems is investigated and it is proved that the linear time-varying system can be rendered stable by selecting the feedback gains such that the variation of the system becomes sufficiently slow. To illustrate the performance of the control method, deployment motion of a 3-(R) under bar PR planar parallel manipulator subject to impact is simulated. For the impact model, the impulse-momentum and the coefficient of restitution equations for the system are derived.

Prediction of the heat transfer performance of twisted tape inserts by using artificial neural networks
(Korean Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2022) Ayli, Ece; Koçak, Eyup; Kocak, Eyup; 265836; 283455; Makine Mühendisliği
A numerical study is undertaken to investigate the effect of twisted tape inserts on heat transfer. Twisted tapes with various aspect ratios and single, double, and triple inserts are placed inside a tube for Reynolds numbers ranging from 8000 to 12000. Numerical results show that the tube with a twisted tape and different numbers of tape is more effective than the smooth tube in terms of thermo-hydraulic performance. The highest heat transfer is achieved with the triple insert, with the highest turning number and an increment of 15 %. Then, an artificial neural network (ANN) model with a three-layer feedforward neural network is adopted to obtain the Nusselt number on the basis of four inputs for a heated tube with a twisted insert. Several configurations of the neural network are examined to optimize the number of neurons and to identify the most appropriate training algorithm. Finally, the best model is determined with one hidden layer and thirteen neurons in the layer. Bayesian regulation is chosen as the training algorithm. With the optimized algorithm, excellent precision for measuring the output is provided, with R2 = 0.97043. In addition, the optimized ANN architecture is applied to similar studies in the literature to predict the heat transfer performance of twisted tapes. The developed ANN architecture can predict the heat transfer enhancement performance of similar problems with R2 values higher than 0.93.

Supervised learning method for prediction of heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids
(Korean Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2023) Ayli, Ece; Koçak, Eyup; Kocak, Eyup; 265836; 283455; Makine Mühendisliği
This study focuses on the alication and investigation of the predictive ability of artificial intelligence in the numerical modelling of nanofluid flows. Numerical and experimental methods are powerful tools from an accuracy point of view, but they are also time- and cost-consuming methods. Therefore, using soft-computing techniques can improve such CFD drawbacks by patterning the CFD data. After obtaining the aropriate ANN and ANFIS architecture using the CFD data, many new data can be created without requiring numerical and experimental methods. In the scope of this research, the FCM-ANFIS and ANN methods are used to predict the thermal behaviour of the turbulent flow in a heated pipe with several nanoparticles. A parametric CFD study is carried out for water-TiO2, water-CuO, and water-SiO2 nanofluid through a pipe. The Reynolds number is varied between 7000 and 15000, and the nanofluid concentration is varied between 0.25 % and 4 %. The effects of using nanofluid on local values of Nusselt number and shear stress distribution were investigated. Numerical results indicate that with the increasing nanoparticle volume fraction of nanofluid, the average Nusselt number increases, but the required pumping power also increases. The obtained soft computing results demonstrate that the FCM clustering ANFIS has given better results both in training and testing when it is compared to the ANN architecture with an R-2 of 0.9983. Regarding this, the FCM-ANFIS is an excellent candidate for calculating the Nusselt number in heat transfer problems.
