An Object-Oriented Approach to a Scenario-Based System Dynamics Fleet Model
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Expanding the current capabilities of a scenario-based system dynamics fleet model is paramount in order to incorporate wider ranging boundary conditions for the assessment of the impact of future aircraft technologies at a global aircraft fleet level. These expanded capabilities are necessary in order to better assess the impact of novel aircraft technologies and ambitious environmental policies in order to mitigate the environmental impact of the civil air transport industry. However, this further expansion of capabilities would not be possible without a paradigm shift in the way the current fleet model is implemented, as the increased complexity would make the fleet modeling an extremely inefficient and daunting task. An object-oriented approach to address the current limitations of the current system dynamics fleet model as well as the incorporation of future expanded capabilities of the new fleet model are presented.

Physico-mathematical model of the contact between the sealing O-ring and the sealing surfaces
The most common type of sealing ring used in the hydraulic system of an aircraft and its equipment is the O-ring sealing system used in radial sealing, static or dynamic. In order to better understand the sealing phenome...
Study of the aerodynamic forces evaluation methods
This paper reviews some of the different formulations of the force exerted on a submerged body by the fluid flowing around it. The study is particularly focused on identifying the most appropriate formulations and their...
Overload prevention in model supports for wind tunnel model testing
Preventing overloads in wind tunnel model supports is crucial to the integrity of the tested system. Results can only be interpreted as valid if the model support, conventionally called a sting remains sufficiently rigid...
Model for self-assessment of an organization’s ability to achieve sustained success
This paper aims to present a model for self-assessment to review the extent to which the organization has adopted the concepts described in ISO 9004:2018 international standard. The self-assessment is used to identify im...
Acoustic characteristics of the flow over different shapes of nozzle chevrons
The objective of this paper is to present a comparison between different types of chevrons and their influence on the acoustic power level radiated by the flow over them. The comparison was performed using a two-dimensio...
