Dynamics, Stability, And Actuation Methods For Powered Compass Gait Walkers, Koray Kadi̇r Şafak Jan 2014

Dynamics, Stability, And Actuation Methods For Powered Compass Gait Walkers, Koray Kadi̇r Şafak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, methods to achieve actively powered walking on level ground using a simple 2-dimensional walking model (compass-gait walker) are explored. The walker consists of 2 massless legs connected at the hip joint, a point mass at the hip, and an infinitesimal point mass at the feet. The walker is actuated either by applying equal joint torques at the hip and ankle, by an impulse applied at the toe off, immediately before the heel strike, or by the combination of both. It is shown that actuating the walker by equal joint torques at the hip and ankle on level …


A Nonlocal Parabolic Problem In An Annulus For The Heaviside Function In Ohmic Heating, Fei Liang, Hongjun Gao, Charles Bu Jan 2013

A Nonlocal Parabolic Problem In An Annulus For The Heaviside Function In Ohmic Heating, Fei Liang, Hongjun Gao, Charles Bu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider the nonlocal parabolic equation u_t=\Delta u+\frac{\lambda H(1-u)}{\big(\int_{A_{\rho, R}} H(1-u)dx\big)^2}, x\in A_{\rho, R} \subset R^2, t>0, with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, where \lambda is a positive parameter, H is the Heaviside function and A_{\rho, R} is an annulus. It is shown for the radial symmetric case that: there exist two critical values \lambda_* and \lambda^*, so that for 0


Stability Analysis Of Time-Delayed Dc Motor Speed Control System, Saffet Ayasun Jan 2013

Stability Analysis Of Time-Delayed Dc Motor Speed Control System, Saffet Ayasun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, the stability of time-delayed DC motor speed control systems is analyzed. The measurement devices and communication links used by networked control systems, cause a significant amount of time delays. The stability boundary of the system in terms of the time delay is theoretically determined and an expression is obtained to compute the delay margin in terms of system parameters. The delay margin is defined as the maximum amount of time delay for which the DC motor speed control system is marginally stable. The results indicate that the system becomes unstable if the time delay exceeds the delay …


Multiobjective Fet Modeling Using Particle Swarm Optimization Based On Scattering Parameters With Pareto Optimal Analysis, Fi̇li̇z Güneş, Ufuk Özkaya Jan 2012

Multiobjective Fet Modeling Using Particle Swarm Optimization Based On Scattering Parameters With Pareto Optimal Analysis, Fi̇li̇z Güneş, Ufuk Özkaya

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, design-oriented field effect transistor (FET) models are produced. For this purpose, FET modeling is put forward as a constrained, multiobjective optimization problem. Two novel methods for multiobjective optimization are employed: particle swarm optimization (PSO) uses the single-objective function, which gathers all of the objectives as aggregating functions; and the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) sorts all of the trade-off solutions on the Pareto frontiers. The PSO solution is compared with the Pareto optimum solutions in the biobjective plane and the success of the first method is verified. Furthermore, the resulting FET models are compared with similar FET …


Determination Of Hydrochlorothiazide And Enalapril Maleate In Tablet Formulations By Reversed-Phase Hplc, Idrees F. Al-Momani̇ Jan 2001

Determination Of Hydrochlorothiazide And Enalapril Maleate In Tablet Formulations By Reversed-Phase Hplc, Idrees F. Al-Momani̇

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure is presented for the determination of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) and enalapril maleate (EM) in pharmaceutical tablets. An aliquot of the sample is dissolved in 15% acetonitrile (ACN) containing thiophylline as an internal standard and chromatographed on a Supelcosil LC-8 (5 \mu m), (150 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.) column. The mobile phase was 3.0 mM tetrabutylammoniumhydrogen sulfate (TBAHS) in ACN/water/triethylamine (TEA), (14, 85.6, 6.4 V/V) adjusted to pH 4.1 by glacial acetic acid. The detection was at 220 nm. The method was tested for linearity, accuracy, recovery, and specificity.

Asymptotic Behavior Of The Zero Solutions To Generalized Pipe And Rotating Shaft Equations, Ayfer Kurt

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A non-autonomous partial differential equation describing the dynamics of a uniform pipe and a system describing the dynamics of a rotating shaft are considered.Sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the zero solution of the boundary value problem for the differential equation and the system under consideration are established by using the Lyapunov function technique.


Thermodynamic Studies Of Some Complexes Of 2-Benzoylpyridine 4-Phenyl-3-Thiosemicarbazone, T. Atalay, E. Güler Akgemci̇ Jan 1998

Thermodynamic Studies Of Some Complexes Of 2-Benzoylpyridine 4-Phenyl-3-Thiosemicarbazone, T. Atalay, E. Güler Akgemci̇

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The stability constants of the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 2-benzoylpyridine 4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone were determined using a spectrophotometric method at different temperatures (25, 30, 35 and 40 $\pm$ 0.1^oC) and ionic strengths (0.05, 0.01 and 0.20 M KNO$_3$) in 50 \% (v/v) aqueous ethanol. Plots of thermodynamic stability constants at zero ionic strength ($\ln$ K^o) versus T$^{-1}$ gave linear curves and $\Delta$ H^o and $\Delta$ S^o were also calculated from these plots. Moreover, the changes in free energy for each metal-ligand system were calculated from the following equation. $\Delta$ G^o = -RT $\ln$ K^o.
