This thesis presents a dynamic analysis and a control system for a flexible space
manipulator, the Deployable Robotic Manipulator or DRM, which has a
deployable/retractable link. The link extends (or retracts) from the ...
Bird strikes represent a major hazard to the aerospace composite structures, due to their low impact resistance. Accurate selection and lay up of the materials in the composite structure can significantly improve the out ...
This thesis addresses the problem of hydrocode modelling of water impact. Two facets
that are of importance when numerically modelling the impact of metallic structures on
water are metal anisotropy and water behaviour ...
