the design of new bobsleigh track is a challenging and difficult task since it requires several competences ranging from the physics of ice to civil engineering, from dynamics to tribology. thus, presently, only very few companies are able to correctly design a bobsleigh track. Moreover, during the construction phase, unshared approximations, imposed by the orography and geology of the location, are adopted by the constructor. this leads to tracks that are usually characterized by unpredicted accelerations on the athletes (sometimes even above accepted standards). the following paper deals withthe development of a simple though precise virtual tool for the prediction of boththe speed (acceleration) profile and the trajectory of a bobsleigh able to easily account for the effects of small track profile changes. therefore, this tool could be profitably used by bothdesigners and constructors to avoid the necessity of "adjusting" the track once built.

MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical System) are MEMS in which the optical part plays a dominant role. the use of MOEMS as scanners and projectors has been studied lately. For high speed scanning applications, electrostatic comb drive actuation has several advantages. In this paper, we demonstrate the application of sliding mode control scheme for amplitude control of comb-actuated resonant microscanners. this method that leads to a simple and practical control function is simply extendable for microscanners with other type of actuation and even for any kind of oscillators that need amplitude control. the functionality and performance of the presented scheme is verified using numerical.

Many hydro power plants, both in small and large scales, are being constructed in Turkey. the total potential of these projects reach to 216 billion kWh of feasible energy. However a method was not yet developed for the design of hydraulic machinery equipment in Turkey. In order to accomplish the hydraulic turbine design without any prior information than the design parameters of the hydraulic project, a methodology is developed. this methodology involves the use of computational tools and it is applied for small hydro projects. this methodology is a parametric design-optimization procedure which consists of parametric geometry modeling, computational fluid dynamics analysis and structural verification.

this paper presents a method for the calculation of the stresses around three non-intersecting identical circular holes in a row, in a thin and infinite isotropic plate subjected to in-plane longitudinal, transverse or biaxial tension at infinity. the calculation of the stresses around any of the three holes is obtained in terms of the stresses that would exist around and at the center of the contour of a third would-be hole in the plate, initially, containing two holes. the results from the present method are compared to finite element as well as to published results in the literature. It is seen that the method yields satisfactory results at key points around the contour of the holes.

three axis serial robots with different sizes are widely used for pick and place, welding and various operations in industry. Developments in mechatronics, which is the synergistic integration of mechanism, electronics and computer control to achieve a functional system, offer effective solutions for the design of such robots. the mechatronic design process involves solid modeling, assembly, rigid body dynamics, finite element rigidity analysis, motion control and computer programming. In this study, Solid Works, Cosmos Motion, Cosmos Works and PC-based motion control programs are used with an integrated approach. the integration software is developed in VisualBASIC by using the application programming interface (API) capabilities of these programs. An experimental three axis serial robot with a reach distance of 790 mm has been produced to develop and test the process.

A method for singularity reduction in a triangular 3-UPS mechanism is discussed. this mechanism usually has singularity near the origin. Changing the active joint angle can arrive at a suitable workspace near the origin without any singularity. Moreover, a 4-UPS mechanism, based on adding one additional leg to the 3-UPS mechanism, has a larger singular free workspace. Moreover, force analysis of two different mechanisms shows a reasonable and consistent force distribution between the different actuators. Singular free workspace is one of the characteristics which makes this mechanism ideal for haptic applications.

A numerical model, based on dynamic mesh, has been developed by FLUENT software, to simulate behavior of a positive displacement compressor. Only first compression stage of compressor was modeled. Modeling was done, by dividing the domain to three areas with different type meshes. Some relations were presented for volumetric, mechanical, isothermal, and overall isothermal performance, and thermodynamic analysis has been performed in term of these relations. Effects of outlet pressure and crankshaft's angular velocity have been investigated on work, polytropic factor of compression, and efficiency. Numerical and experimental results have been compared, and a good agreement was seen between them.

Ground vibrations generated by high-speed trains are studied in this paper. Open trenches are included in modeling and the problem is formulated using elasticity theory. the ground is modeled by a semi-infinite domain and the embankment with finite layers and the high-speed train is simulated by moving loads. the analytical solution is obtained in frequency domain and the peak particle velocity (PPT) is then achieved for different types of open trenches with different aspect ratios and distance from the track centerline. A parametric study is then carried out and effects of different parameters including the train speed and ground properties on vibration reduction factors are investigated.

Beams in engineering structures are mainly jointed together by welding. In general, they are imposed to static and dynamic loads. thus, analyses of welds are very important to study their behaviours. In this study finite element analyses of welds in the cantilever box beams are performed using the ANSYS program. Two different types of weld are considered;full penetration welds and fillet welds. Stress distributions in different paths are calculated for both types. It is shown that using of full penetration welds in a structure leads to safer welds than using of fillet welds. In addition, effects of different parameters such as fillet weld leg, weld material, thickness of cantilever box beam, and amount of its penetration in beam are studied.
