A multidisciplinary design study for Active Aeroelastic Wing technology considering the uncertainty in maneuver loads estimated by linear aerodynamic theory is presented. The study makes use of a design of experiments/response surface methodology and modal-based structural optimization to construct deterministic relationships between wing structural weight and control laws design, based on line...

Abstract: This paper presents a combination of a computational structural dynamics (CSD) and high fidelity unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. Regarding a helicopter in hover, aerodynamic loads are computed from the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver in overlapped grids, and blade motions are obtained from the geometrically exact rotor beam analysis. To couple those analys...

Presently there is a little information that relates to heat shield systems.  Also this information is not certain in so many cases.  The main reason is that accurate calculations for measuring the sacrificing rate of various materials have not been obtained yet.  Additionally, the real scale test has two disadvantages: high cost and low flexibility, and for each case we must perform a new test...

original article   emotional intelligence (ei) has been subject of significant amounts of literature over the past two decades. however, little has been contributed to how emotional intelligence may be practically applied to enhance both accident prevention program and general health in workplaces. purpose of this paper is to survey relationship among these variables in working society of iran ...

the application of stepwise multivariate-linear regression models for determination of particleboard properties based on structural factors was studied. poplar (populus alba), beech (fagus orientaleis) and hornbeam wood (carpinus betulus) with dry density of 460, 630 and 790 kg/m3,respectively, were used as raw materials. three levels of boards target density (520, 620 and 720 kg m-3) and urea ...

two main goals are being pursued in this paper. first, a brief summary of the structural optimization methods is presented. although most of these methods are general and are used in analysis and design of skeletal as well as continuous structures, discussion is more often directed towards the shape optimization .the second second goal of this paper is to present a new method for sensitivity an...

Systems of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) are generated routinely by simulation and modeling environments, such as MapleSim and those based on the Modelica language. Before a simulation starts and a numerical method is applied, some kind of structural analysis is performed to determine which equations to be differentiated, and how many times. Both Pantelides’s algorithm and Pryce’s Σ -...

In this paper we apply the method of inferred causation for macroeconomic analysis. First we introduce briefly the theory of inferred causation developed by Pearl and Verma (1991). We apply this method to the identification of structural vector autoregression (SVAR) models. In an example of monetary policy analysis we demonstrate how causal information embedded in the data can be used to identi...
