    Avogadro constant determines the number of particles in one mole of a substance, thus relating the molar mass of the substance to the mass of this substance. Avogadro constant is related to Systeme Internationale base units by defining the very concept of chemical quantity. Revisions of the base units created a need to redefine the Avogadro constant, where a collaborative work called the Avogadro Project is established to employ optical interferometry to measure the diameter of high quality 100 mm silicon spheres. We propose far-infrared spectroscopy for determining the Avogadro constant by using elastic scattering from the 100 mm Avogadro Project silicon spheres. Similar spectroscopic methods are already in use in the near-infrared, relating whispering gallery modes of the 1 mm silicon spheres to the diameter of the spheres. We present numerical simulations in the far-infrared and the near-infrared, as well as spatially scaled down elastic scattering measurements in the near-infrared. These numerical and experimental results show that, the diameter measurements of 100 mm single crystal silicon spheres with elastic scattering in the far-infrared can be considered as an alternative to optical interferometry.

    An emergency braking controller based on extremum seeking with experimental implementation
    (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018-03-01) Dinçmen, Erkin; Altınel, Tunç
    An extremum seeking scheme is developed for maximizing the longitudinal tire forces of the road vehicles during emergency braking situations. If the road condition is known, then a conventional braking controller could generate required braking moment to track the slip set point which belongs to that road condition. However, estimating the road condition is not an easy task and it brings additional computation effort. Rather than that, a self optimization algorithm is presented in this paper without relying on road condition estimation. The developed controller searches optimum operation point for getting maximum friction force. Computer simulations show the effectiveness of the self optimization routine. To validate the real time applicability of the algorithm, an electromechanical braking test system is used for the experiments. Due to the limited measurements from the experimental system, force and moment observers are designed to calculate necessary control inputs for maximizing the friction potential, i.e. the braking force. Via the experimental study, it has been shown that the developed self optimizing controller is fast, accurate, and operable on a real braking system.

    A cooperative neural network control structure and its application for systems having dead-zone nonlinearities
    (Springer International Publishing Ag, 2022-03) Dinçmen, Erkin
    An adaptive control structure utilizing two feed-forward neural networks (NN) is proposed to deal with systems having unknown nonlinearities. One of the networks is trained to mimic the nonlinear system dynamics. Its training will be repeated with periods in order to keep it an updated valid model of the system all the times since the parameters and/or nonlinearities of the system may change during time. The other network, which is the Controller NN, adapts itself continuously by collaborating with the Model NN. The stability-convergence analysis of both networks is performed via Lyapunov method. An example system is chosen to show the applicability of the control algorithm. This example system is created by combining a linear dynamics model with a dead-zone function to represent a nonlinear system to be controlled. It should be noted that the proposed control structure can be used in any nonlinear system without knowing the system dynamics. The only information required by Model NN is the training set consisting input-output data pairs of the system. The Model NN is trained offline with this training set, and afterward the Controller NN adapts its weights online continuously during the control task with the help of Model NN. The performances of PD and PID controllers are also given for comparison purposes.

    Semianalytical solution of unsteady quasi-one-dimensional cavitating nozzle flows
    (Springer, 2014-06) Delale, Can Fuat; Pasinlioğlu, Şenay; Başkaya, Zafer; Schnerr, Günter H.
    Unsteady quasi-one-dimensional bubbly cavitating nozzle flows are considered by employing a homogeneous bubbly liquid flow model, where the nonlinear dynamics of cavitating bubbles is described by a modified Rayleigh-Plesset equation. The model equations are uncoupled by scale separation leading to two evolution equations, one for the flow speed and the other for the bubble radius. The initial-boundary value problem of the evolution equations is then formulated and a semianalytical solution is constructed. The solution for the mixture pressure, the mixture density, and the void fraction are then explicitly related to the solution of the evolution equations. In particular, a relation independent of flow dimensionality is established between the mixture pressure, the void fraction, and the flow dilation for unsteady bubbly cavitating flows in the model considered. The steady-state compressible and incompressible limits of the solution are also discussed. The solution algorithm is first validated against the numerical solution of Preston et al. [Phys Fluids 14:300-311, 2002] for an essentially quasi-one-dimensional nozzle. Results obtained for a two-dimensional nozzle seem to be in good agreement with the mean pressure measurements at the nozzle wall for attached cavitation sheets despite the observed two-dimensional cavitation structures.

    Frezeyle tornalamada takımda ortaya çıkan termal deformasyonların modellenmesi
    (Gazi Universitesi Muhendislik-Mimarlik, 2017) Karagüzel, Umut; Bakkal, Mustafa; Budak, Erhan
    Frezeyle tornalama işleminde işlemiş parça doğruluğu ve üretkenliği arttırarak işlem performansını iyileştirmek kesme kuvvetlerini ve takım ucundaki ısı kaynaklı deformasyonları kontrol etmekle mümkündür. Bu çalışmanın amacı frezeyle tornalama sırasında ortaya çıkan ısı kaynaklı deformasyonları belirlemek ve bunları basınçlandırılmış soğuk hava kullanarak azaltmaktır. Kesme kuvvetleri, takım sıcaklıkları ve deformasyonlar sonlu elemanlarla modellenmiş ve deneylerle doğrulanmıştır. Kuru kesme koşullarında bu deformasyonların paso derinliğinin %40’ı kadar olabileceği ve bunun sonlu elemanlarla tahmin edilecebileceği gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca bu deformasyonlar soğuk hava ile %65’e kadar azaltılabilir. Termal deformasyonlara ek olarak çalışmada takım aşınması ve işlenen parçada yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerleri de ölçülmüştür ve özellikle frezeyle tornalamada yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerlerinin taşlamadaki kadar iyi olabileceği gösterilmiştir.

    A refinement of asymptotic predictions and full numerical solution of helicopter rotor noise in the far field
    (Multi-Science Publ Co Ltd, 2012-09-01) Delale, Can Fuat; Zafer, Baha; Aslan, Alim Rüstem
    The asymptotic analysis of Parry and Crighton [1] for propeller noise in the far field, which is based on Hanson's formulation [2] of the FW-H equation, is refined to second order by Laplace's method [3] for evaluating integrals, accounting for second order contributions near the blade tip for loading and thickness noise. The full numerical solution of Hanson's integrals for both thickness and loading noise is also presented. In particular, the theory is applied to a four-bladed helicopter rotor with tip Mach numbers ranging between 0.5 and 0.7. The aerodynamic loading in this case is obtained using a 3D compressible code based on finite volume method with intensified grid density near the blade tip. The far field angular SPL noise distributions of a helicopter rotor in hover show that the present second order asymptotic formula is in better agreement with full numerical computations than that of the first order formula, especially for thickness noise.
