The validation of an aerospace structure through the sine vibration analysis

Sinusoidal vibrations represent an ideal case. Technically, it is quite hard to generate pure sinusoidal vibrations without containing other spectral components, called harmonics. Sinusoidal vibrations can appear on prop...

Multifunctional composites and nanocomposites with applications in the aerospace industry

Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) ,namely, nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix, have garnered academic and industrial interest since 1990. This is due to the very attractive properties of nanostructurated fillers, a...

Analysis Regarding the Effects of Atmospheric Turbulence on Aircraft Dynamics

This paper will analyze the Gust Load Alleviation (GLA) systems which can be used to reduce the effects of atmospheric turbulences generated by wind gusts on vertical acceleration of aircraft. Their purpose is to reduce...

Discrete Adjoint-Based Simultaneous Analysis and Design Approach for Conceptual Aerodynamic Optimization

In this paper, a simultaneous analysis and design method is derived and applied for a non-linear constrained aerodynamic optimization problem. The method is based on the approach of defining a Lagrange functional based o...
