PDF-(BOOK)-Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle Dynamics, Second Edition (AIAA Education

This book unifies all aspects of flight dynamics for the efficient development of aerospace vehicle simulations Now in its second edition its purpose is still to provide the reader with a complete set of tools to build program and execute simulations Unlike other books it uses tensors for modeling flight dynamics in a form invariant under coordinate transformations For implementation the tensors are converted into matrices resulting in compact computer code The reader can pick FORTRAN templates of missiles aircraft or hypersonic vehicles from the complimentary CADAC CDROM to jumpstart a particular application and plot the results of CADAC Studio It is the only textbook that combines the theory of modeling with handson examples of three five and sixDoF simulations This new and enlarged edition also serves as anchor for a selftutoring threepart course of aerospace simulations in C available from AIAA advanced undergraduate and graduate instruction or for selfstudy Seventy eight problems and nine projects amplify the topics and develop the material further Qualified instructors can obtain a complimentary solution manual from AIAA which reviewed stateoftheart FORTRAN simulations has been replaced by the description of three selfstudy CDROMs of aerospace simulations in C These CDs broaden the applications of this book by spanning from simple three degrees of freedom cruise missiles to high fidelity missiles aircraft and hypersonic vehicles The new Appendix D lays the theoretical foundation of tensor flight dynamics It contains the proofs of the rotational time derivative and the Euler transformation.

Aerospace engineering is the branch of . engineering. focused on the design, construction, and testing of . Used increasingly in telecommunications, scientific research, surveillance, and meteorology, satellites rely heavily on complex onboard control systems. This book explains the basic theory of spacecraft dynamics and control and the practical aspects of controlling a satellite. The emphasis is on analyzing and solving real-world engineering problems. Among the topics covered are orbital dynamics, attitude dynamics, gravity gradient stabilization, single and dual spin stabilization, attitude maneuvers, attitude stabilization, and structural dynamics and liquid sloshing. This textbook presents the process of aircraft conceptual design as seen in industry aircraft design groups. It contains design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations and equations, and has extensive appendices with key data for design. The second edition of this text continues to fulfil the book\'s original goal in linking and integrating many disciplines relevant to the field of space systems engineering. It contains an additional chapter on reliability analysis, new technical material and numerous homework problems. This text provides an introduction to structural dynamics and aeroelasticity, with an emphasis on conventional aircraft. The primary areas considered are structural dynamics, static aeroelasticity, and dynamic aeroelasticity. The structural dynamics material emphasizes vibration, the modal representation, and dynamic response. Aeroelastic phenomena discussed include divergence, aileron reversal, airload redistribution, unsteady aerodynamics, flutter, and elastic tailoring. More than one hundred illustrations and tables help clarify the text, and more than fifty problems enhance student learning. This text meets the need for an up-to-date treatment of structural dynamics and aeroelasticity for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate aerospace engineering students. Praise from the First Edition Wonderfully written and full of vital information by two unequalled experts on the subject, this text meets the need for an up-to-date treatment of structural dynamics and aeroelasticity for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate aerospace engineering students. - Current Engineering Practice Hodges and Pierce have written this significant publication to fill an important gap in aeronautical engineering education. Highly recommended. - Choice . . . a welcome addition to the textbooks available to those with interest in aeroelasticity. . . . As a textbook, it serves as an excellent resource for advanced undergraduate and entry-level graduate courses in aeroelasticity. . . . Furthermore, practicing engineers interested in a background in aeroelasticity will find the text to be a friendly primer. - AIAA Bulletin Revised editon of: Introduction to aeronautics: a design perspective / Steven A. Brandt ... [et al.]. 2004. Presenting comprehensive coverage of the dynamics of atmospheric re-entry, this text details fundamental concepts and practical applications such as the atmospheric model and re-entry mechanics, and goes on to discuss specific topics such as re-entry decoys, flow fields and error analysis. A textbook offering a resource for students attempting to understand the methods & thought processes involved in designing aircraft. It includes a working knowledge of how an aircraft is shaped & optimized to perform specific missions by countless design decisions. The second edition of this best-selling book provides an introduction to virtually all aspects of the technology of composite materials as used in aeronautical design and structure. The text discusses important differences in the technology of composites from that of metals--intrinsic substantive differences and their implications for manufacturing processes, structural design procedures, and in-service performance of the materials, particularly regarding the cause and nature of damage that may be sustained. The first four chapters present genera! information characterizing hypersonic flows, discuss numerical formulations of varying degrees of rigor in computational fluid dynamics codes, and show the strengths and limitations of the various types of hypersonic experimentation. Other chapters cover the stagnation-region flowfield, the inviscid flowfield, the boundary layer, the aerodynamic forces and moments, viscous/inviscid interactions as well as shock/shock interactions, and a review of aerother-modynamics phenomena and their role in the design of a hypersonic vehicle. Sample exercises and homework problems are presented throughout the text. This book is the second edition of a successful, self-contained text for those students and readers interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. Like the first edition, it assumes no prior familiarity with either subject on the part of the reader. This second edition has updated figures and data to complement the presentation and discussion of the fundamentals. New to this edition are educational tools that the author has found successful in previous books, namely the inclusion of: 1) previews of each chapter written in plain language to inform the reader why it is important to read and understand the material in the chapter, to highlight the important aspects, and to stir the reader\'s passion to consume the chapter: 2) design examples scattered throughout the book to illustrate the application of the fundamentals to the design of hypersonic vehicles and ground test facilities and 3) roadmaps at the beginning of each chapter to guide the reader comfortably through the material. New subjects discussed include shock-shock interactions, hypersonic waveriders, and aspects of hypersonic propulsion devices--always in light of the fundamentals emphasized in the main part of the book. The structural materials used in airframe and propulsion systems influence the cost, performance and safety of aircraft. This essential new book introduces aerospace materials. The next group of chapters goes on to discuss the properties, production and metallurgy of materials for aerospace structures, followed by chapters on performance issues and recycling. The final chapter covers materials selection for aerospace structures and engines. The second edition of this text continues to fulfil the book\'s original goal in linking and integrating many disciplines relevant to the field of space systems engineering. It contains an additional chapter on reliability analysis, new technical material and numerous homework problems. Steve Karman. AIAA SciTech.
