"Advanced Control of Turbofan Engines" describes the operational
performance requirements of turbofan (commercial) engines from a
controls systems perspective, covering industry-standard methods
and research-edge advances. This book allows the reader to design
controllers and produce realistic simulations using public-domain
software like CMAPSS: Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System
Simulation, whose versions are released to the public by NASA. The
scope of the book is centered on the design of thrust controllers
for both steady flight and transient maneuvers. Classical control
theory is not dwelled on, but instead an introduction to general
undergraduate control techniques is provided."Advanced Control of
Turbofan Engines" is ideal for graduate students doing research in
aircraft engine control and non-aerospace oriented control
engineers who need an introduction to the field."
As heard on BBC Radio 4's 'A Good Read' 'Where and how Dada began
is almost as difficult to determine as Homer's birthplace', writes
Hans Richter, the artist and film-maker closely associated with
this radical movement from its earliest days. Here, he records and
traces Dada's history, from its inception in wartime Zurich, to its
collapse in Paris in the 1920s when many of its members were to
join the Surrealist movement, to its reappearance in the 1960s in
movements such as Pop Art. This absorbing eyewitness narrative is
enlivened by extensive use of Dada documents, illustrations and
texts by fellow Dadaists. The complex personalities, relationships
and contributions of, among others, Hugo Bali, Tristan Tzara,
Picabia, Arp, Schwitters, Hausmann, Duchamp, Ernst and Man Ray, are
vividly brought to life. Over a hundred years on from the riotous
inception of Dada at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich in 1916, art
historian Michael White provides a new introduction and commentary
to a book that has become a legend in its own right, influencing a
generation of performers and artists since its first publication in
1965 - David Bowie even quoted from Dada: Art and Anti-Art in his
Scary Monsters album. Michael White has unearthed Richter's private
correspondence with his fellow Dada artists to tell the story of
how the book came about and, using previously unseen archive
sources, enables us to read between the lines and discover the
truth behind this most elusive of art movements.
