Pages : 0
Book Description
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are revolutionizing our approach to flight. Whether monitoring severe weather or conducting a military operation, new versions of these machines and the components that operate them are being developed and implemented at an unprecedented rate as corporations, governments, academia, and private individuals all seek to understand and capitalize upon this innovative, expanding field.
F-35A Lightning II
Author: Marty GitlinPublisher: Little Mitchie
ISBN: 1545757682
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
The U.S. Air Force wanted an upgrade. It wanted a better fighter jet. One that could stay hidden from the enemy. One that could attack and destroy. One that could defend itself. One that could keep pilots safe. Keep U.S. ground troops safe. Keep Americans safe. Keep the world safe. A jet fighter that all friendly nations could use. This book is all about that aircraft. Part of the America's Fighter Jets series: F-35A Lightning II puts readers into the sky with the jet. This fun book gives young readers insight on how the F-35A Lightning II achieved its goals. And why fewer of them might be made in the future.
Shock Wave-Boundary-Layer Interactions
Author: Holger BabinskyPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139498649
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Shock wave-boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is a fundamental phenomenon in gas dynamics that is observed in many practical situations, ranging from transonic aircraft wings to hypersonic vehicles and engines. SBLIs have the potential to pose serious problems in a flowfield; hence they often prove to be a critical - or even design limiting - issue for many aerospace applications. This is the first book devoted solely to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art explanation of this phenomenon. It includes a description of the basic fluid mechanics of SBLIs plus contributions from leading international experts who share their insight into their physics and the impact they have in practical flow situations. This book is for practitioners and graduate students in aerodynamics who wish to familiarize themselves with all aspects of SBLI flows. It is a valuable resource for specialists because it compiles experimental, computational and theoretical knowledge in one place.

Optimization Under Uncertainty with Applications to Aerospace Engineering
Author: Massimiliano VasilePublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030601668
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 573
Book Description
In an expanding world with limited resources, optimization and uncertainty quantification have become a necessity when handling complex systems and processes. This book provides the foundational material necessary for those who wish to embark on advanced research at the limits of computability, collecting together lecture material from leading experts across the topics of optimization, uncertainty quantification and aerospace engineering. The aerospace sector in particular has stringent performance requirements on highly complex systems, for which solutions are expected to be optimal and reliable at the same time. The text covers a wide range of techniques and methods, from polynomial chaos expansions for uncertainty quantification to Bayesian and Imprecise Probability theories, and from Markov chains to surrogate models based on Gaussian processes. The book will serve as a valuable tool for practitioners, researchers and PhD students.
Optimal Shape Design
Author: B. KawohlPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540679714
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Optimal Shape Design is concerned with the optimization of some performance criterion dependent (besides the constraints of the problem) on the "shape" of some region. The main topics covered are: the optimal design of a geometrical object, for instance a wing, moving in a fluid; the optimal shape of a region (a harbor), given suitable constraints on the size of the entrance to the harbor, subject to incoming waves; the optimal design of some electrical device subject to constraints on the performance. The aim is to show that Optimal Shape Design, besides its interesting industrial applications, possesses nontrivial mathematical aspects. The main theoretical tools developed here are the homogenization method and domain variations in PDE. The style is mathematically rigorous, but specifically oriented towards applications, and it is intended for both pure and applied mathematicians. The reader is required to know classical PDE theory and basic functional analysis.
