Mechanics of materials and interfaces: the disturbed state concept

The disturbed kingdom notion (DSC) is a unified, constitutive modelling strategy for engineering fabrics that enables for elastic, plastic, and creep traces, microcracking and fracturing, stiffening or therapeutic, all inside a unmarried, hierarchical framework. Its services cross well past different to be had fabric versions but result in major simplifications for useful functions.

Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying Machines (Advances in Industrial Control)

Modelling and keep watch over of Mini-Flying Machines is an exposition of types built to aid within the movement keep watch over of assorted sorts of mini-aircraft: • Planar Vertical Take-off and touchdown plane; • helicopters; • quadrotor mini-rotorcraft; • different fixed-wing airplane; • blimps. for every of those it propounds: • special types derived from Euler-Lagrange tools; • acceptable nonlinear keep an eye on ideas and convergence homes; • real-time experimental comparisons of the functionality of keep an eye on algorithms; • evaluate of the significant sensors, on-board electronics, real-time structure and communications structures for mini-flying computing device keep watch over, together with dialogue in their functionality; • targeted rationalization of using the Kalman clear out to flying laptop localization.

Gas Turbine Diagnostics: Signal Processing and Fault Isolation

Universal for strength new release, fuel turbine engines are liable to faults as a result harsh operating atmosphere. so much engine difficulties are preceded via a pointy switch in size deviations in comparison to a baseline engine, however the development information of those deviations through the years are infected with noise and non-Gaussian outliers.

Example text

The invention of helicopters can be considered to be completed by 1950s. However, new developments are still being pursued, which are possible due to the overall technological development in several associated fields. Modern developments include (a) Notar (No-Tail Rotor) McDonnell–Douglas (b) Tilt rotor (V-22 Osprey) Bell–Boeing (c) ABC (Advancing Blade Concept, Sikorsky) (Coaxial, Contra-Rotating Rotors) (d) X-Wing (NASA) (Circulation Control Rotors) (e) Tilt Wing (f) Compound helicopter Helicopter Configurations Helicopter configurations may be broadly classified into five types.

4 shows a rotor system along with the nonrotating hub fixed axes system (XH–YH–ZH) and the rotating blade fixed axes system (X1–Y1–Z1). 5 shows a typical cross section of the rotor blade at a radial distance r from the center of rotation (or the hub center), various velocity components, and the resultant forces acting on the airfoil section. The blade is set at a pitch angle θ measured from the plane of rotation. UT and UP are, respectively, the tangential and the perpendicular relative air velocity components, as viewed by an observer on the blade section.

In Drzewiecki’s calculations, the estimated performance exhibited a significant error, which was attributed to the airfoil characteristics. Since the aspect ratio affects the aerodynamic characteristics (in fixed wings), Drzewiecki proposed that the three-dimensional wing characteristics (with appropriate aspect ratio) be used in the BET. The results of this theory had the correct general behavior but were found to be quantitatively inaccurate. Several attempts (Betz [1915] and Bothezat [1918]) were made to include the increased axial velocity from the momentum theory into the BET.
