PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to optimize the downrange for hypersonic
boost‐glide (HBG) missile under near‐real condition, and to validate the
suitability of proposed wall cooling materials.Design/methodology/approachThe
trajectory optimization problem is characterized by a boost phase followed by a
glide phase. A multi‐phase trajectory optimization tool is adopted to optimize
the downrange... hiện toàn bộ
The mechanism of stress formation in glass under‐going conditions of rapid
cooling, and the factors affecting the properties of the toughened glass
produced are discussed. The application of techniques for measuring the
temperature of glass, to the control and study of the toughening process are
described.
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to apply a factorization‐based control
system design procedure to design of auto‐pilot
systems.Design/methodology/approachThe design approach is based on a previously
developed factorization‐based control system design procedure. The design
approach requires a stable coprime factorization of the plant, a set of stable
coprime factors that are solutions to the Be... hiện toàn bộ
DEVELOPMENT of the Rolls‐Royce RB 211 turbofan is characterised by progressive
evolution with the latest versions meeting the thrust requirements of large two,
three and four engine aircraft in the 1990's. At the upper end of the range is
the RB 211–524 G/H engine which recently entered service and the more powerful
Trent scheduled for airline operations in 1993.
THE first tentative steps in the use of composite materials for primary
structures were taken in 1940 when, a Blenheim main spar was built of Gordon
Aerolite, a material developed by Dr. Norman de Bruyne's firm, Aero Research
Ltd. of Duxford (now part of the Ciba‐Geigy Group). It comprised unbleached flax
thread skein formed with phenolic resin in a heated press to form what was
probably the world... hiện toàn bộ
THE change from the parallel wings of the now obsolescent biplane to the tapered
wings of the monoplane, usually fitted with flaps, raised a great number of
problems, both aerodynamic and structural. Work on these has been pursued
vigorously during the past few years, but the designer is still some
considerable distance from having all his questions answered. For instance,
further information is r... hiện toàn bộ
