an aircraft wing needs to display different mechanical behavior in different directions. 1- stiffness in the spanwise (transverse to the corrugation) direction which enables the aerodynamic and inertial loads to be carried. 2- compliance in the chordwise (corrugation) direction which would allow shape changes and increases in surface area; whereas a corrugated sheet due to their special geometr...

The article presents aircraft flight data in the landing approach mode, which was obtained on an integrated simulator and actual conditions, processed by various probabilistic-statistical methods. These were used to assess quality of crew piloting techniques. We have reviewed methods based Neyman–Pearson criterion, optimal Bayesian criterion is considered. When using them, we revealed presence ...

1. The discharge of peripheral otolith neurons in response to sinusoidal force variations was investigated in the barbiturate-anesthetized squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus). The sine waves were superimposed on a background force which biased the end organ so as to excite or inhibit the unit's firing. Both regularly and irregularly discharging neurons were studied. 2. The response amplitude, me...
