Missile system design process is challenging and interdisciplinary. During missile system design process, system design must be made in accordance with military standards, which have very strict rules. In defense industry, delivery dates are usually very rigid. Despite this, during conceptual design, requirements are often updated within the design process that requires the design to be updated frequently. It is essential to perform these steps as efficiently and quickly as possible. The products, which are inexpensive and have best performance parameters, are preferred, and so the companies with these products can survive. For this purpose, the conceptual design part, which is first step of the system design process needs to be optimized. In this study, it is aimed to develop a system design tool that simplifies the conceptual design process, creates design alternatives quickly, tests them, performs performance analysis, and selects the optimum among these alternatives. By using this tool, it is possible for the designer to obtain the information needed for the preliminary design process quickly and efficiently. This thesis focuses on ballistic missile systems, which are widely used in today's world and expected to increase in number over time. It is aimed to accelerate the conceptual design process of ballistic missile systems. For this purpose, to create optimum alternative design which has maximum ballistic range and maximum maneuverability, an optimization tool for conceptual design studies is created.

Analysis, design and test of a jet vane based thrust vector control for tactical missiles Eren, Oğuz; Eyi, Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017) In this thesis, a design effort for a jet vane based Thrust Vector Control (TVC) in the scope of mechanical design, computational analysis and validating test process is executed to be able to find an optimum CFD approach to this kind of work. To do that, a preliminary design phase is initiated with an already optimized geometry which provides an aerodynamic surface to be worked on. After mechanical design approach to the geometry with system requirements, some of the unverified aspects of the design are te...
Three dimensional aerodynamic analysis of missiles by a panel method Başoğlu, Osman; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aeronautical Engineering (2002) Panel methods are extensively used in aerodynamic analysis of missiles in early stages of their development. An existing TUBİTAK-SAGE panel code is modified and improved for routine and more efficient calculation of the aerodynamic coefficients of various missile configurations at subsonic and supersonic flight conditions. Particularly, the poor convergence, user unfriendliness and poor output characters of this code have been improved by modifying and adding new routines to it. Now the code with an incorpo...
Design optimization of truss structures using genetic algorithms Ünalmış, Dilek; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012) Design optimization of truss structures is a popular topic in aerospace, mechanical, civil, and structural engineering due to benefits to industry. Common design problem for the structures is the weight minimization. Especially in aerospace engineering the minimization of the weight of the total structure gets the highest importance in the design. This study focuses on the design optimization of 2D and 3D truss structures. The objective function is the total mass of the structure which is subjected to stres...
Numerical Modeling of Hypersonic Air and Carbon Dioxide Flows in Thermochemical Non-Equilibrium with SU2-NEMO Solver Çelik, Mutlu; Uğur, Ömür; Eyi, Sinan (2022-06-23) Modeling of hypersonic aerothermodynamics in non-equilibrium flow is a challenging problem of aircraft design. Especially, prediction of atmospheric reentry and other planet’s entry heat loads are significant for aerospace vehicle design engineers. Therefore, accurate calculation of heat flux of leading edges and nose tips are the main concerns of thermal design engineers. The present study aims to simulate hypersonic entry conditions of Mars and Earth for the Mars Pathfinder experimental capsule with using...
Deep-trench RIE optimization for high performance MEMS microsensors Aydemir, Akın; Turan, Raşit; Department of Physics (2007) This thesis presents the optimization of deep reactive ion etching process (DRIE) to achieve high precision 3-dimensional integrated micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors with high aspect ratio structures. Two optimization processes have been performed to achieve 20 μm depth for 1 μm opening for a dissolved wafer process (DWP) and to achieve 100 μm depth for 1 μm opening for silicon-on-glass (SOG) process. A number of parameters affecting the etch rate and profile angle are investigated, including...
