Flight dynamics create important research problems in the process
of helicopter design. They involve advanced design ideas and
engineering technology theories. This book concerns flight theory
and research methods for helicopter flight science and technology.
The contents include the fundamentals of rotor aerodynamics,
helicopter trim, helicopter stability and control, and helicopter
performance analyses. The book also lokks at the kinematics,
dynamics, control, and aerodynamics of the helicopter during
maneuvering flight. With an emphasis on the physical concepts, the
characteristics of rotor flapping, theoretical analyses and
numerical simulation methods for helicopter flight mechanics are
detail described in detail. The book is primarily intended for
senior undergraduates and postgraduates who major in aerospace
engineering. It is also a good reference book for helicopter
engineers interested design and operational engineering. It lays a
foundation for the study of helicopter aeromechanics.
This guideline is one of a series produced by the British Fluid
Power Association's Technical committees. These committees are
manned by acknowledged experts from industry who give their time
voluntarily. As such this document and others form part of a
valuable library of technical information. In addition to being a
superb source of reference to engineers, students may also use this
guideline to form part of a study package when completing one of
the many BFPA or other awarding body courses.
The book is structured so as to give an understanding of: . The
basic types of components and their operational principles. . The
way in which circuits can be arranged using available components to
provide a range of functional outputs. . The analytical methods
that are used in system design and performance prediction. Fluid
power systems are manufactured by many organisations for a very
wide range of applications, which often embody differing
arrangements of components to fulfil a given task. Hydraulic
components are manufactured to provide the control functions
required for the operation of systems, each manufacturer using
different approaches in the design of components of any given type.
As a consequence, the resulting proliferation of both components
and systems can, to the uninitiated, be an obstacle to the
understanding of their principle of operation. Components are
arranged to provide various generic circuits, which can be used in
the design of systems so as to suit the functional characteristics
of the particular application.
ELEMENTS OF AERODYNAMICS An accessible and hands-on textbook filled
with chapter objectives, examples, practice problems, sample tests,
and an online aero-calculator In Elements of Aerodynamics,
Professor Oscar Biblarz delivers a concise and
fundamentals-oriented approach to aerodynamics suitable for both
undergraduate and graduate-level students. The text offers numerous
problems, examples, and check tests, allowing readers to gain and
cement their knowledge through hands-on practice. Using a unique
blend of fundamentals, the book provides students with a new
approach to high lift airfoils including examples designed to
complement the theory. It covers the most vital information on
incompressible and compressible flow over two-dimensional and
three-dimensional wings. A companion website that includes an
interactive aero-calculator and additional student resources makes
this a suitable text for online, hybrid, and distance learning.
Readers will also find: A concise introduction to units and
notation with discussion of the proper usage of dimensionless
coefficients in aerodynamics, featuring descriptions of airflow as
an incompressible and compressible low-viscosity medium past
streamlined wings Comprehensive re-evaluation of the fundamentals
of fluid dynamics, including the differential control volume
approach and formulation of lift, drag, and pitching moments for
thin, attached boundary layers over slender wings at high angles of
attack Practical applications of mass, momentum, and energy
relations, derived from Euler's equation, Bernoulli's equation, and
the Kutta-Joukowski theorem Selected treatment of transonic and
hypersonic aerodynamic aspects, including supercritical airfoils,
the non-linear small perturbation potential equation, Newtonian
theory, and hypersonic lift and drag Well-suited for students
enrolled in an introductory aerodynamics course as part of an
engineering program, Elements of Aerodynamics will also earn a
place in the libraries of physics students and those interested in
basic fluid mechanics.
A world-recognized expert in the science of vehicle dynamics, Dr.
Thomas Gillespie has created an ideal reference book that has been
used by engineers for 30 years, ranging from an introduction to the
subject at the university level to a common sight on the desks of
engineers throughout the world. As with the original printing,
Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics, Revised Edition, strives to find
a middle ground by balancing the need to provide detailed
conceptual explanations of the engineering principles involved in
the dynamics of ground vehicles with equations and example problems
that clearly and concisely demonstrate how to apply such
principles. A study of this book will ensure that the reader comes
away with a solid foundation and is prepared to discuss the subject
in detail. Ideal as much for a first course in vehicle dynamics as
it is a professional reference, Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics,
Revised Edition, maintains the tradition of the original by being
easy to read and while receiving updates throughout in the form of
modernized graphics and improved readability.

Fluid Power with Applications, Seventh Edition presents broad
coverage of fluid power technology in a readable and understandable
fashion. An extensive array of industrial applications is provided
to motivate and stimulate students' interest in the field.
Balancing theory and applications, this book is updated to reflect
current technology; it focuses on the design, analysis, operation,
and maintenance of fluid power systems. It also includes an
Automation Studio (TM) CD (produced by Famic Technologies Inc.)
that contains simulations and animations of many of the fluid power
circuits presented throughout the book as well as a variety of
additional fluid power applications.
High speed catamaran and multihull high speed marine vessel have
become very popular in the last two decades. The catamaran has
become the vessel of choice for the majority of high speed ferry
operators worldwide. There have been significant advances in
structural materials, and structural design has been combined with
higher power density and fuel efficient engines to deliver ferries
of increasing size. The multihull has proven itself to be a
suitable configuration for active power projection across oceans as
well as for coastal patrol and protection, operating at high speedd
for insertion or retrieval with a low energy capability. At present
there is no easily accessible material covering the combination of
hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and design issues including
structures, powering and propulsion for these vehicles. Coverage in
High Speed Catamarans and Multihulls includes an introduction to
the history, evolution, and development of catamarans, followed by
a theoretical calculation of wave resistance in shallow and deep
water, as well as the drag components of the multihull. A
discussion of vessel concept design describing design
characteristics, empirical regression for determination of
principal dimensions in preliminary design, general arrangement,
and methods is also included. The book concludes with a discussion
of experimental future vehicles currently in development including
the small waterplane twin hull vessels, wave piercing catamarans,
planing catamarans, tunnel planing catamarans and other multihull
vessels.
