An experimental study of an air-blast atomiser

Bryan, R. H. (1967-10)

Visual observations and an optical method of measuring the mean droplet size in sprays have been used to assess the performance of a prototype airblast atomiser, particularly at the low fuel and air flow conditions ...
Closed loop stepping motor application in prosthetics

Williams, K. F. (1969-09)

In recent years much work has been done in many countries on the development of powered artificial limbs for use by adults and children with congenital deficiencies i.e. present at birth, and by amputees. The established ...
Flame radiation & smoke emissions in gas turbine combustors

Russell, D. T. (1969-09-19)

The objective of this thesis was to investigate flame radiation and smoke emission phenomena in a combustor typical of those in use in aircraft gas turbine engines. One of the primary aspects of the investigation was ...
Buckling of corrugated core sandwich panels

Patel, N. G. (1969-09-19)

A computer program is developed to determine the buckling stress and deflections of symmetric corrugated core sandwich panels. In the program freedom for lateral deflections at core to face-plate junction is allowed ...
The design and development of high speed externally pressurized air bearings for an internal grinder

Ghosh, K. (1969-09-20)

Briefly, the basic theory of externally pressurized air bearings which provides shaft support, with very low friction in high speed devices, has been discussed in this paper. Some considerations have been given to the ...
The Interaction of an Oscillating Airfoil and/or Flap with a Separating Flow

Lang, James D. (1975-01)

At present little is known of the dynamics of a separating and reattaching flowfield. This unsteady flow topic relates to a wide range of aerodynamic problems such as dynamic stall and contfol-sürface-buzz. An experiment ...
The Aeroelastic Behaviour and Response to Turbulence of a Class of High Performance Tailless Sailplanes.

Banerjee, J. R. (1978-09)

The symmetric flutter and response characteristics of a class of tailless .sailplanes-:are investigated combining rigid--body dynamics with elastic modes of deformation. The methods used are based on the normal mode approach ...
The employment of jet V-STOL aircraft at sea

Kinch, M. J. (1981-01)

The means by which the Royal Navy will continue to operate fixed-wing aircraft at sea is by employing VTOL or· given an aid to-take-off, STOVL aircraft. The aid being ' brought into service is -the Skijump, which permits ...
The stability and post-buckling behaviour of stiffened plates in compression

Jhita, P. S. (1990-02)

The investigation reported in this thesis was carried out to examine the behaviour of stiffened plates subjected to uniform end compression using energy methods. The thesis begins with a short introduction, followed by ...
The application of computational techniques to the design of thermal ice protection systems

Leah, C. W. (1990-03)

A bibliography citing 1350 references related to all aspects of aircraft icing is presented. An ice adhesion database has been compiled, and a survey of ice adhesion test rig designs is presented. An ice shear adhesion ...
An Approach To Configuration Design Synthesis of Subsonic Transport Aircraft Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Pasaribu, H. M. (1991-12)

This thesis outlines a computer system developed to tackle the configuration design synthesis of subsonic transport aircraft. The system provides an interactive design environment which combines the reasoning process of ...
Passive Techniques for Controlling the Flow in Supersonic Wing - Body Junctions

Blank, S. C. (1994-03)

Junction flows are common to all flight speeds and they are associated with undesirable features such as increases in drag, limitations on performance and at supersonic speeds high heat transfer rates. Junction flows are ...
The design and analysis of a reconfigurable flight control system for advanced civil aircraft

Oliva, A. P. (1994-04)

This work is concerned with the design of a pitch-rate-commandattitude-hold Command and Stability Augmentation System in order that the augmented aircraft meets the Gibson dropback criterion, the Gibson phase-rate criterion ...
A Class of upwind methods for Conservation Laws

Billett, S. J. (1994-06)

Various new methods for the solution of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one, two and three space dimensions are developed. All are explicit, conservative timemarching methods that are second order accurate in ...
The effects of junction modifications on sharp-fen-induced glancing shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction

Koide, S. (1994-06)

The effects of junction modifications on the glancing shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction generated by a sharp fin placed on the wall of a supersonic wind tunnel were examined experimentally at a Mach number ...
The application of neural networks to spacecraft control

Cooper, A. (1994-08)

This thesis investigates how two neural network-based control techniques can be applied to a specific spacecraft control problem. The neural networks used are simple backpropagation networks, consisting of one or more ...
Structural design for passenger safety

Roots, Mark R. (1996-05)

This thesis covers the design and analysis of a roll cage structure for use on a sports racing car. The method used to design and verify the roll structure was novel as small automotive companies tend to use evolution ...
Systems design and control of a freeflying space robotic manipulator system (ATLAS) for in-orbit satellite servicing operations

Ellery, Alexander (1996-08-02)

This thesis is concerned with a freeflyer robotic spacecraft for in-orbit satellite servicing employing a dedicated attitude control system, ATLAS (Advanced TeLerobotic Actuation System). It adopts a unique control system ...
A flexible, subsonic high altitude long endurance UAV conceptual design methodology

Chang, J. M. (1997-05)

High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been considered for use in both civil and military applications for some years. Their advantages, such as low cost, high survivability, long ...
Lagrangian hydrocode modelling of hypervelocity impact on spacecraft

Campbell, J. (1998-05)

This thesis addresses the problem of modelling hypervelocity impact on spacecraft structures using a Lagrangian hydrocode. Lagrangian hydrocodes offer the advantages of computational efficiency and structural elements, but ...
