In this study, a gap distance control system was designed and implemented in the constructed ECD machine tool. The gap distance control strategy was based on the machining current's discrete measurement (in microsecond intervals) and changing the gap distance according to a set current value by feeding the electrode towards the workpiece or retracting it during the ECD process. The small diameter deep hole ECD experiments were conducted using 0.5 mm diameter side insulated tubular rotational electrodes with through-hole electrolyte flushing to drill Hadfield and AISI 1040 steels. The experimental results demonstrated the success of the developed control system in ECD operations yielding uniform hole geometries and smooth hole surfaces. The use of the control system eliminated the undesirable formations of spark discharges and short circuit pulses.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 9Two Majority Voting Classifiers Applied To Heart Disease Prediction(Mdpi, 2023) Karadeniz, Talha; Maras, Hadi Hakan; Tokdemir, Gul; Ergezer, HalitTwo novel methods for heart disease prediction, which use the kurtosis of the features and the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, are presented. A Majority Voting approach is applied, and two base classifiers are derived through statistical weight calculation. First, exploitation of attribute kurtosis and attribute Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (KS test) result is done by plugging the base categorizer into a Bagging Classifier. Second, fitting Maxwell random variables to the components and summating KS statistics are used for weight assignment. We have compared state-of-the-art methods to the proposed classifiers and reported the results. According to the findings, our Gaussian distribution and kurtosis-based Majority Voting Bagging Classifier (GKMVB) and Maxwell Distribution-based Majority Voting Bagging Classifier (MKMVB) outperform SVM, ANN, and Naive Bayes algorithms. In this context, which also indicates, especially when we consider that the KS test and kurtosis hack is intuitive, that the proposed routine is promising. Following the state-of-the-art, the experiments were conducted on two well-known datasets of Heart Disease Prediction, namely Statlog, and Spectf. A comparison of Optimized Precision is made to prove the effectiveness of the methods: the newly proposed methods attained 85.6 and 81.0 for Statlog and Spectf, respectively (while the state of the heart attained 83.5 and 71.6, respectively). We claim that the Majority Voting family of classifiers is still open to new developments through appropriate weight assignment. This claim is obvious, especially when its simple structure is fused with the Ensemble Methods' generalization ability and success.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Thermo-Fluid Multi-Physics Modeling and Experimental Verification of Volumetric Workpiece Material Removal by a Discharge Pulse in Electric Discharge Machining Process(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2020) Cogun, Can; Uslan, Ibrahim; Erbas, Murat; Erdem, OguzThe volume of material removed from the workpiece by a pulse (V-v) in the electric discharge machining was quantitatively determined using a multi-physics simulation model in ANSYS CFX software. Electrical heating is used in the model to simulate the plasma channel formation by defining the boundary and time-controlled current density initial conditions. Time-dependent physical properties at plasma temperature were used to reflect the actual processing environment. The heat was transferred from the plasma channel to the workpiece by electrical heating from the electrode, and V(v)was calculated by means of the amount of heat transfer. The calculated V(v)values for AISI4140, Ti6Al4V and Inconel 718 workpieces were lower than the experimental results and the difference was observed to change between 38.3% and 46.9%.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10An Integrated Scheduling and Control Model for Multi-Mode Projects(Springer, 2013) Hazir, Oncu; Schmidt, Klaus WernerIn today's highly competitive uncertain project environments, it is of crucial importance to develop analytical models and algorithms to schedule and control project activities so that the deviations from the project objectives are minimized. This paper addresses the integrated scheduling and control in multi-mode project environments. We propose an optimization model that models the dynamic behavior of projects and integrates optimal control into a practically relevant project scheduling problem. From the scheduling perspective, we address the discrete time/cost trade-off problem, whereas an optimal control formulation is used to capture the effect of project control. Moreover, we develop a solution algorithm for two particular instances of the optimal project control. This algorithm combines a tabu search strategy and nonlinear programming. It is applied to a large scale test bed and its efficiency is tested by means of computational experiments. To the best of our knowledge, this research is the first application of optimal control theory to multi-mode project networks. The models and algorithms developed in this research are targeted as a support tool for project managers in both scheduling and deciding on the timing and quantity of control activities.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Computation of Supervisors for Reconfigurable Machine Tools(Springer, 2015) Schmidt, Klaus WernerThe rapid reconfiguration of manufacturing systems is an important issue in today's manufacturing technology in order to adjust the production to varying product demands and types. In this paper, we study the control of reconfigurable machine tools (RMTs) with the aim of fast reconfiguration and an easy controller implementation. We first formulate a particular reconfiguration problem for RMTs in a discrete event system setting, and then provide a necessary and sufficient condition for its solution. Moreover, we propose a polynomial-time algorithm for the construction of a reconfiguration supervisor as the composition of one modular supervisor for each separate RMT configuration. Each modular supervisor operates in three modes. In the first mode, it tracks the plant state if its corresponding configuration is inactive. In the second mode, it performs a configuration change if its corresponding configuration becomes active and in the third mode, it follows the specified behavior of its corresponding configuration if the configuration is active. An important property of the proposed reconfiguration supervisor is that it performs reconfigurations in a bounded number of event occurrences. In addition, the modular realization of our reconfiguration supervisor enables controller modifications such as adding or removing configurations during run-time. All results presented in the paper are illustrated by an RMT example.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Modeling Distributed Real-Time Systems in Tioa and Uppaal(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2016) Kartal, Yusuf Bora; Schmidt, Ece Guran; Schmidt, Klaus WernerThe mission- and life-critical properties of distributed real-time systems require concurrent modeling, analysis, and formal verification in the design stage. The timed input/output automata (TIOA) framework and the UPPAAL software package are two widely used modeling and verification tools for this purpose. To this end, we develop the algorithm TUConvert for converting distributed TIOA models to UPPAAL behavioral models and formally prove its correctness. We demonstrate the applicability of our algorithm by the formal verification of a distributed real-time industrial communication protocol that is modeled by TIOA.
