    • Target tracking strategies for a nonlinear, flexible aircraft-inspired model 

      Chakravarthy, Animesh; Evans, Katie A.; Evers, Johnny; Kuhn, Lisa M. (IEEE, 2011-06-29)
      Aeroelastic wing micro aerial vehicle (MAV) concepts are being explored for military and civilian applications. However, on the whole, the issues of control of MAVs are largely unexplored. The authors seek to employ ...

    • Thermally induced loads of fastened hybrid composite/aluminum structures 

      Yang, Chihdar Charles; Sun, Wenjun; Seneviratne, Waruna P.; Shashidhar, Ananthram K. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2008-03)
      Large composite structures have been increasingly used in the aviation industry. New applications of composite materials include primary structures such as aircraft fuselages. These large composite parts are sometimes ...

    • Three-dimensional fluid-structure-interaction simulation of tilting disk mechanical heart valve 

      Aliabadi, Ardavan; Hoffmann, Klaus A. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2014)
      The current computational effort will focus on the numerical analysis of current tiling disk MHVs. In this work an implicit fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) simulation of the Bjork-Shiley design was carried out using ...

    • Time-varying dynamics of a micro air vehicle with variable-sweep morphing 

      Chakravarthy, Animesh; Grant, Daniel T.; Lind, Rick (The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2012-05)
      In this paper, the longitudinal dynamics of a fast-morphing, variable-wing-sweep micro air vehicle are investigated from a flight dynamics perspective. The time scales over which the morphing occurs are of the same order ...

    • Trajectory prediction using coupled cfd-rbd with dynamic meshing 

      Sathyanarayana, Nidhi D.; Hoffmann, Klaus A. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2019-01-06)
      Debris released post bird impact can cause secondary damage to downwind airplane surfaces. The debris is simplified in geometry and represented as a flat plate. A coupled CFD-RBD solver with dynamic meshing is used for ...

    • Tunable sound packages consisting of granular aerogels and fibrous media 

      Xue, Yutong; Sanchez-Torres, Esmeralda; Sharma, Bhisham N.; Bolton, J. Stuart (Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2022-09-01)
      In this study, two granular aerogel materials, both consisting of particles with sizes on the scale of 1 to 50 mm, were first investigated both theoretically and experimentally to improve our understanding of their acoustical ...

    • Usage and flight loads analysis of King Airs in aerial firefighting missions 

      Kliment, Linda K.; Rokhsaz, Kamran; Nelson, John A.; Terning, Brett R.; Weinstein, Edward M. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2015-05)
      Flight data of Beechcraft King Airs used as aerial supervision modules and lead aircraft by the U.S. Forest Service are analyzed. The operational conditions experienced by the airplanes are studied as well as the magnitude ...

    • A vision based parameter estimation for an aircraft in approach phase 

      Chandrasekaran, Balaji K.; Steck, James E.; Ahmadabadi, Zahra N. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 2021-01)
      Landing and takeoff are critical phases of an aircraft flight. In recent years automation has taken over some those crucial functions, especially the landing. Aircraft such as Airbus A220 and many business jets are capable ...
