A new solid particle erosion model for oriented fiber composite materials

The work describes a new model of erosion estimation equation which factors in both the impingement angle α and the fiber orientation angle β. Two examples of particular erosion equations are presented, for carbon fiber...

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...

Near Optimal Explicit Guidance Law with Impact Angle Constraints for a Hypersonic Re-entry Vehicle

Two guidance laws are discussed in this paper. The first one is the Vector guidance law. This guidance law when equipped with the appropriate gains has the capability to hit a target at the desired impact angle. A parame...

A computational methodology for a micro launcher engine test bench using a combined linear static and dynamic in frequency response analysis

This article aims to provide a quick methodology to determine the critical values of the forces, displacements and stress function of frequency, under a combined linear static (101 Solution - Linear Static) and dynamic l...
