Abstract:

Aircraft basic performance is the foundation of the research on aircraft, which is characterized by many parameters. According to the example of the shortest rising time spent on flying from an altitude to another arbitrary one, and the example of matching control of joystick and throttle lever, it is demonstrated that the visualization in scientific computing method is useful for promoting engineering research.

Abstract:

This article illustrates contribution of mechanical engineering in the aviation industry. The most obvious role of the mechanical engineer involves the design of engines. From the Wrights’ four cylinders, 12-horsepower engine, aircraft propulsion has evolved into today’s high-bypass turbofans developing over 90,000 pounds of thrust in some instances. The most visible contribution of mechanical engineers to aviation, engines are far from their only contribution. Changes in the design, construction, and capabilities of increasingly modern aircraft challenged the mechanical engineering in many ot

Abstract:

Hovering hummingbirds offer a model locomotor system for which analyses of both metabolism and flight mechanics are experimentally tractable. Because hummingbirds exhibit the highest mass-specific metabolic rates among vertebrates, maximum performance of hovering flight represents the upper limit of aerobic locomotion in vertebrates. This study evaluates the potential constraints of flight mechanics and oxygen availability on maximum flight performance. Hummingbird flight performance was manipulated non-invasively using air and gas mixtures which influenced metabolism via variable oxygen parti

Abstract:

The steady slow climbing flight of a dragonfly, Sympetrum frequens, was filmed and analysed. By using the observed data, the mechanical characteristics of the beating wings were carefully analysed by a simple method based on the momentum theory and the blade element theory, and with a numerical method modified from the local circulation method (LCM), which has been developed for analysing the aerodynamic characteristics of rotary wings. The results of calculations based on the observed data show that the dragonfly performs low speed flight with ordinary airfoil characteristics, instead of adop

Abstract:

ABSTRACTFlight—defined as the ability to produce useful aerodynamic forces by flapping wings—is one of the most demanding adaptations in vertebrates. The mechanical problems of flight ensure considerable external morphological homogeneity and behavioural similarity in extant fliers. Observations of the vortex wakes and wingbeat geometry of modern birds and bats confirm that the two groups are mechanically very similar, despite differences in phylogeny, anatomy and physiology. With this background it is possible to attack two problems: the evolution of flight in vertebrates, and the flight perf

Abstract:

Airships were very popular 90 years ago with, for example, german Zeppelins. Now theyare back for several reasons, like their low energy consumption.But there are also still many problems to deal with like their sensitivity to wind gusts.In addition, the airships need more studies to improve their flight mechanics and sensitivityto the wind.This degree project, done with the French Aerospace Lab ONERA in Lille, studies a specificairship which is 5mlong and 1.7mwide. First, the airship is studied without wind to determineaerodynamic coefficients and added masses. Then, the model is confronted t

Abstract:

This project outlines a cost-effective numerical simulation method for the analysis of the longitudinal mechanics of paraglider systems. It is built on static stability methods for the analyses of low subsonic aircraft, non-linear lifting line methods for aerodynamic parameterization, and frequency domain analysis methods derived from system theory. Paragliders possess a glide polar in the range of ≈ 25-60 km.h−1 and display underdamped dynamic responses dominated by a long-period mode. The simulation results for performance and dynamic response are qualitatively valid relative to experimental

Abstract:

Aircraft design is an act of art requiring dedication and careful work to ensure good results. An essential tool in that work is a flight mechanics simulator. Such simulators are often built up of modules/models that are executed in a sequential order in each time iteration. This project aims to analyze potential improvements to the model execution order based on the dependency structure of one such simulator. The analysis method Design Structure Matrix (DSM), was used to define/map the dependencies and then Binary Linear Programming (BLP) was utilized to find five new potentially improved mod

Abstract:

Computational tools based on probabilistic fracture mechanics have been developed to enable reliability-based fitness-for-service assessments of flawed girth welds. The same tools are readily adapted for establishing maximum allowable defect sizes to achieve targeted weld reliability. Sensitivity studies have shown that of the various input parameter uncertainties, measured defect height often has the greatest impact on the probabilities of both fracture and plastic collapse. A reduction in sizing uncertainty should thus dramatically improve predicted reliabilities. The increasing use of mecha
