    On the equilibrium of a rigid body suspended by a set of linear springs
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2000-08) Tokad, Yılmaz
    In this paper an approach is described for determining equilibrium states of a rigid body suspended elastically in space by a set of linear springs. This system is considered as a two-terminal generalized spring with terminal across (translational and rotational velocities, V-G, omega(G)) and terminal through (terminal force and moment, f(G), m(G)) variables. The algorithmic approach used for the solution of six nonlinear and coupled equilibrium equations consists of two major steps. The first step is to assign an initial orientation to the rigid body which is represented by the transformation (rotation) matrix T(theta,n) and reduce the problem to the solution of force equations only through a computer program. This yields the position vector xi of a preselected point G on the rigid body. Although the terminal force f(G) becomes zero at this position, the calculated terminal moment m(G), in general, is not equal to zero. The second step is to try to determine the correct orientation of the rigid body based on an argument that the terminal moment should vanish. The same argument is also used for the solution of force equilibrium equations. These two steps are repeated several times until both f(G) and m(G) vanish simultaneously yielding an equilibrium state (xi,T(theta, n)). Application of the approach is illustrated through various examples. It is observed that, if there are nonstable equilibrium states of the system, then sometimes all possible physical equilibrium states may not be obtained with this approach.

    Improving the calibration time of traffic simulation models using parallel computing technique
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-06) Dadashzadeh, Nima; Ergün, Murat; Kesten, Ali Sercan; Zura, Marijan
    The calibration procedure for traffic simulation models can be a very time-consuming process in the case of a large-scale and complex network. In the application of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) such as Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for calibration of traffic simulation models, objective function evaluation is the most time-consuming step in such calibration problems, because EA has to run a traffic simulation and calculate its corresponding objective function value once for each set of parameters. The main contribution of this study has been to develop a quick calibration procedure for the parameters of driving behavior models using EA and parallel computing techniques (PCTs). The proposed method was coded and implemented in a microscopic traffic simulation software. Two scenarios with/without PCT were analyzed using the developed methodology. The results of scenario analysis show that using an integrated calibration and PCT can reduce the total computational time of the optimization process significantly-in our experiments by 50%-and improve the optimization algorithm's performance in a complex optimization problem. The proposed method is useful for overcoming the limitation of computational time of the existing calibration methods and can be applied to various EAs and traffic simulation software.

    Usability of mobile voting with NFC technology
    (Acta Press, 2010) Ok, Kerem; Coşkun, Vedat; Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz
    Voting is a method to select one opinion or a person often following discussion, debate or an election campaign. After centuries of paper based voting ballots, electronic voting is used along with various technologies. One of the promising technologies is Near Field Communication (NFC) which allows data transfer between NFC-enabled devices and smart tags within a short distance. In this paper, we have presented a new type of a secure voting system, namely NFC voting, and evaluated the system's usability in a university council election with an executable prototype. Among other findings, we found that NFC voting satisfies electronic voting requirements and further increases the subjective usability of the proposed system.

    Detection of DHCP starvation attacks in software defined networks: a case study
    (IEEE, 2018-12-06) Toprak, Cansu; Türker, Cem; Tüysüz Erman, Ayşegül
    Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging concept that maintains and analyzes the network status with its centralized architecture. This facility ensures network operators to monitor and manage the network elements with custom applications running on a single or multiple controllers. In this paper, we show that network security issues such as threat detection can easily be solved by using SDN due to its programmable nature. This paper specifically presents a case study that addresses a solution for detection of DHCP starvation attacks in an SDN, which is one of the most common network security problems that may disable the whole network operations.

    A parametric approach to construct two-variable positive real impedance functions for the real frequency design of mixed lumped-distributed matching networks
    (IEEE, 2004) Aksen, Ahmet; Pınarbaşı, Hacı; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this paper, a parametric approach to construct two-variable positive real driving point impedance functions characterizing lossless ladder networks with mixed lumped and distributed elements is presented. The proposed approach is based on the generation of two-variable positive real impedance functions from the single variable boundary conditions. Utilizing the proposed parametric construction algorithm, real frequency matching technique is extended to the design of matching networks with mixed lumped and distributed elements. The application of the approach is illustrated by a broadband microwave amplifier design incorporating mixed lumped and distributed type matching networks. The resultant design has been compared with the AWR Microwave Office software simulation.

    A new software tool to model measured RF-data with optimum circuit topology
    (IEEE, 2004) Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Kılınç, Ali; Aksen, Ahmet
    In this paper a new S/W tool is presented to model measured RF data employing immitance interpolation techniques. This S/W tool also employs a recently developed sub-routine, which generates circuit models with least number of circuit elements by means of a novel numerical approach. Furthermore, an analytic procedure is introduced and implemented within the new S/W package to select proper sample-points subject to interpolation which in turn controls the interpolation error in the "near min-max sense" or the so-called "Chebyshev Sense". Hence, the optimum circuit topology for the given data is constructed. An example is presented to exhibit the utilization of the new tool. This new S/W package may be utilized as the front end to the commercially available Design and Analysis Packages such as ANSOFT, EAGELWARE etc.
