As a consequence of practicalities, work share and difficulties in designing complex aerospace systems, there has been historical segregation of sub-systems in aircraft design. This methodology has proved successful for ...

The aim of a control system is to obtain a desired output response according to an input command. This can be achieved by knowing a model of the system with an open-loop control. However, an accurate model can be difficult ...

The aim of this work is to assess the aeroelastic response to gust of a flexible high aspect ratio wing (HARW) single-aisle commercial aircraft and to design a viable open-loop Gust Load Alleviation (GLA) system. ...

Severe slugging is a cyclic flow regime which causes intermittent delivery of oil and gas, which could lead to flow separator flooding, production reduction, platform trips and plant shutdown. The large and rapid variation ...

Simulation of a dynamic system is known to be sensitive to various factors and one of them could be the precision of model parameters. While the sensitivity of flight dynamic simulation to small changes in aerodynamic ...

The implementation of key technologies in the initial stages of the aircraft wing design process has always represented a substantial challenge for aircraft designers. The lack of reliable and accessible wing mass prediction ...

An effective collision avoidance logic should prevent collision without excessive alerting. This requirement would be even more stringent for an automatic collision avoidance logic, which is probably required by ...

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) is considered to be one of the solutions for reducing greenhouse gasses and an alternative means of transportation. However, some current limitations such as higher powertrain costs, ...

Due to noise and bias in the Inertial Navigation System (INS), vehicle dynamics measurements using the INS are inaccurate. Although alternative methods involving the integration of INS with accurate Global Positioning ...

As the potential of unmanned aerial vehicles rapidly increases, there is a growing interest in rotary vehicles as well as fixed wing. The quadrotor is small agile rotary vehicle controlled by variable speed prop rotors. ...
