Combined fatigue experiments on full scale turbine components

Dianyin Hu, Rongqiao Wang

The purpose of this paper is to perform experiments on a full scale turbine blade attached to a part of actual turbine disc at elevated temperature, which can accurately predict…

Composite wing elastic axis for aeroelasticity optimization design

S.H. Huo, F.S. Wang, Z. Yuan, Z.F. Yue

Computational efficiency is always the major concern in aircraft design. The purpose of this paper is to investigate an efficient aeroelasticity optimization design method…

Accidental ignition in the engine intake system

Janusz Grzelka, Karol Cupiał, Michał Pyrc, Adam Dużyński, Michal Gruca, Józef Brzęczek, Tadeusz Zbos

The purpose of this paper is to describe studies of accidental ignition of fuel‐air mixture. Studies were carried out in a laboratory that contains the naturally aspirated…

Dynamics and control for an in‐plane morphing wing

Shi Rongqi, Song Jianmei

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the dynamic principle of internal structure of a complex morphing wing and control the wing to change configurations rapidly and smoothly…

Constrained predictive control of helicopters

Tugrul Oktay, Cornel Sultan

The purpose of this paper is to show the feasibility of constrained model predictive control (MPC) for sophisticated helicopter models which are derived by physical considerations.

A directional control system for UCAV automatic takeoff roll

Yunpeng Zhang, Haibin Duan

The purpose of this paper is to develop a directional and roll control system for unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) automatic takeoff roll, with the objective of keeping the UCAV…

Penetration trajectory planning based on radar tracking features for UAV

Shaofei Chen, Hongfu Liu, Jing Chen, Lincheng Shen

The purpose of this paper is to plan the penetration trajectory for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the presence of radar‐guided surface to air missiles (SAMs).

Gravity gradient torque of spacecraft orbiting asteroids

Yue Wang, Shijie Xu

The purpose of this paper is to present a full fourth‐order model of the gravity gradient torque of spacecraft around asteroids by taking into consideration of the inertia…
