Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN) consists of many sensor nodes, which can move from one position to another and gather data from the environment, and such nodes are coordinated with the support of a sink node. In recent years, the mobility behavior of sensor nodes present in wireless sensor networks is used to form effective clustering and to perform cluster-based routing. Virtual force is an important phenomenon in sensor nodes, which is used to model the mobility behavior. Production rules that use spatiotemporal constraints are able to make more accurate decisions on mobility speed, mobility area, and the required …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Analytical mechanics methods play an important role in determining the energy function and Hamilton realization of a system. In this paper, the Hamilton function of the system is obtained directly from the system differential equation by means of analytical mechanics. In addition, the system Hamiltonization process requires that the system must be even order, and the commonly used generator model is a single-axis third-order model. For this reason, the odd-order power system model is extended to an even-order system. The Hamilton function of the system is deduced with coordinate transformation and the generalized force. Then the standard form of Hamilton …

Hardware Implementation And Comparison Of Displacement Retrieval Algorithms For A Laser Diode-Based Optical Feedback Interferometric Sensor, Ghazi Rehman, Usman Zabit, Muhammad Obaid Ullah

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Optical feedback interferometer (OFI) lasers, also called self-mixing (SM) lasers, have been widely explored over the last couple of decades due to their low cost, compactness, and self-aligned nature and they provide a very good solution for measurements of displacement, vibration, distance, velocity, etc. The SM effect takes place when a part of the laser beam is fed back to the active laser cavity after reflecting from the target. The reflected beam interferes with the emitted beam and hence the optical and spectral characteristics of the laser get changed. To retrieve the vibration or displacement signal of the target from …
