Comparison of crash response with different occupant support concepts

This paper argues that, together with improved protection structures and energy dissipation systems, a favourable occupant position with sufficient support and restraint could…

Multipoint inverse shape design of airfoils based on variable‐domain variational principle

As a kind of free (unknown) boundary problem, inverse shape design of airfoils has attracted extensive attention in recent years. By variable‐domain variational theory, free…

Flywheel energy storage for spacecraft

Flywheels can serve not only as attitude control devices, but also as energy storage devices, thereby eliminating the need for conventional batteries. Hence, a combined energy and…

Intelligent performance diagnostics of a gas turbine engine using user‐friendly interface neural networks

In this study, in order to facilitate application of the NNs as well as to provide user‐friendly conditions, a performance diagnostic computer code using MATLAB^® was newly…

Fault diagnosis expert system for modern commercial aircraft

The objective of this paper is to develop an expert system according to the features of the fault diagnosis for modern commercial aircraft, which is based on case based reasoning…

Behaviour of composite wing T‐joints in hygrothermal environments

This paper deals with the experimental investigation and non‐linear finite element analysis of composite wing T‐joints in hygrothermal environments. This study is concerned with…

Coordinated attitude control for a tracking and data relay satellite with mobile antennas

In this paper, a coordinated attitude control law for a tracking and data relay satellite (TDRS) with mobile antennas is proposed. To track or point the target spacecraft with…
