The aim of this study was to develop an artificial neural network model in order to estimate stress intensity factor values of two different types of semi elliptical surface cracked plates which have no explicit stress ...

In the present case, Istanbul Metrobus Line is operated by Metrobus vehicle with internal combustion engines. This situation is not suitable and sustainable in terms of operating cost and environment pollution. If this ...

Helical Springs are mechanical parts which are frequently used for designing of machines. Conventionally, they are obtained by turning of wire materials Lately, helical machined springs are improved as an alternative to ...

Swimming for armored amphibious vehicles is particularly important for both attack/defense sustainability and crew life during operation. The wheels of the amphibious vehicle due to the buoyancy force in the water form as ...

In the thesis, Navier Stokes solvers have been developed for incompressible and compressible flows. Then the codes have been matched with the optimization algorithms and optimisation studies have been performed. For an ...

Within the scope of this thesis, based on results based on intensive data collection and simulation activities related to municipal buses serving the city of Ankara, a research study about the analysis of potential fuel ...

In this work of thesis, whiplash injury and its relation with rear end accidents are studied. After brief explanation on what whiplash injury is and its effects on both people’s health and economy, injury mechanism is ...

Studies have confirmed that titanium (Ti) can improve the contact of bone and its surface growth. Titanium foam may, therefore, prove beneficial in aiding healing and the generation of greater power from implant regions. ...

In this work, a method for obtaining optimal steering angles for a multi-axle vehicle is proposed. The tire maximum steering angles are optimized for low turning radius and low lateral slip angles. The optimization process ...
