Developed with stress analysts handling multidisciplinary subjects in mind, and written to provide the theories needed for problem solving and stress analysis on structural systems, Essentials of Mechanical Stress Analysis presents a variety of relevant topics-normally offered as individual course topics-that are crucial for carrying out the analysis of structures. This work explores concepts through both theory and numerical examples, and covers the analytical and numerical approaches to stress analysis, as well as isotropic, metallic, and orthotropic composite material analyses. Comprised of 13 chapters, this must-have resource: * Establishes the fundamentals of material behavior required for understanding the concepts of stress analysis * Defines stress and strain, and elaborates on the basic concepts exposing the relationship between the two * Discusses topics related to contact stresses and pressure vessels * Introduces the different failure criteria and margins of safety calculations for ductile and brittle materials * Illustrates beam analysis theory under various types of loading * Introduces plate analysis theory * Addresses elastic instability and the buckling of columns and plates * Demonstrates the concept of fatigue and stress to life-cycle calculations * Explores the application of energy methods for determining deflection and stresses of structural systems * Highlights the numerical methods and finite element techniques most commonly used for the calculation of stress * Presents stress analysis methods for composite laminates * Explains fastener and joint connection analysis theory * Provides MathCAD(R) sample simulation codes that can be used for fast and reliable stress analysis Essentials of Mechanical Stress Analysis is a quintessential guide detailing topics related to stress and structural analysis for practicing stress analysts in mechanical, aerospace, civil, and materials engineering fields and serves as a reference for higher-level undergraduates and graduate students.

Spacecraft and Payload Pointing focuses on development of the attitude determination and control system (ADACS) for a spacecraft, including payload pointing. Such systems can require knowledge of a large diversity of disciplines for two reasons. First, the ADACS itself is a broad subject, including the dynamics of the spacecraft and payloads, the physics and engineering of the ADACS sensor and actuator hardware, control and filtering theory, plus systems engineering. Second, many disciplines are involved since the ADACS must interface with several other subsystems (notably payload, structure, and command and data handling [C&DH]) and because ADACS performance translates into key mission performance parameters such as pointing control. When mission requirements are flowed down to the spacecraft and then to its subsystems, the engineer must be able to translate these requirements into appropriate terms at each level.Mission requirements are customer related (such as the ability to broadcast a TV signal or transmit data); they must be translated into spacecraft system concepts (orbits, transmitted power levels), then to subsystem requirements (available power, antenna gain, antenna pointing accuracy), and further down to the level of components. Rather than treat each of the subject areas involved in ADACS design in great depth, this book aims to show how they fit together. The subject can be examined from two basic points of view. The first is that of the systems engineer. This view focuses on requirements, requirements flowdowns, and verification. In it, the onboard hardware and software are regarded as black boxes, defined by their functions, reliability, etc. The other standpoint is that of the physicist or engineer who focuses on what is involved in actually getting these items to work. This view includes actions such as quantifying feasible performance levels, learning how they can be improved, and understanding their fundamental

The Principles and Practice of International Aviation Law provides an introduction to, and demystification of, the private and public dimensions of international aviation law. Unlike other global sectors, the air transport industry is not governed by a discrete area of the law, but by disparate transnational regulatory instruments. Everything from the routes that an international air carrier can serve to the acquisition of its fleet and its liability to passengers and shippers for incidents arising from its operations can be the object of bilateral and multilateral treaties that represent diverse and often contradictory interests. Beneath this are hundreds of domestic regulatory regimes that also apply national and international rules in disparate ways. The result is an agglomeration of legal cultures that can leave even experienced lawyers and academics perplexed. By combining classical doctrinal analysis with insights from newer disciplines such as international relations and economics, the book maps international aviation law's complex terrain for new and veteran observers alike

Desde los albores del siglo XX, cuando la aviación comenzó a surcar los cielos, Almería tuvo claro que este medio de transporte podría suponer la salida de su aislamiento secular. Sin embargo, su compleja orografia circundante fue causa de una fuerte restriccion para estos deseos y para las primeras aerolineas que operaron en la Peninsula. Esta ubicacion supuso que la escala en este territorio no fuese una opcion adecuada. Si a esto unimos la precariedad industrial y agricola de la region, es facil suponer que no fue facil conseguir que las compañias fuesen proclives a proporcionar servicio a esta ciudad.Fue necesario el nacimiento de una nueva industria, el turismo,para que las autoridades locales y provinciales obtuviesen del Gobierno las ayudas necesarias para la construccion de un Aeropuerto, hace ya cuarenta años. Un aeropuerto que ha sido puerta de entrada desde entonces para numerosos pasajeros y por supuesto aerolineas, y que han permitido la comunicacion de esta periferica provincia con multitud de destinos, especialmente en los ultimos años, a raiz de la operacion en dicho aeropuerto de las llamadas compañias de bajo coste.Gracias al esfuerzo de todos aquellos trabajadores y autoridades hoy dia Almeria cuenta con un aeropuerto moderno que puede proporcionar unos altos niveles de calidad de servicio a todos cuantos transitan por el.Mas de cuatro decadas de historia que este libro recoge a traves de entrañables imagenes, anecdotas y datos que resultaran de gran atractivo para todos cuantos lean sus paginas.Indice de la publicacion:1.

Quizás una de las primeras cosas que el lector tenga que “descubrir” cuando se acerque a la lectura de este libro es el significado que el término inglés handling tiene en el entorno aeronáutico. Pue

Si para cualquier provincia o región un aeropuerto supone un motor de desarrollo económico y social, aún mucho más si cabe si esta infraestructura se ubica en un enclave turístico de primer orden como lo es Alicante.Ya en los albores del pasado siglo, el transporte aereo utilizo Alicante como centro de apoyo en la ruta que unia Barcelona y Malaga, la primera linea comercial de nuestro pais. Las primitivas instalaciones en el Aerodromo de La Rabasa dieron cobijo a los primeros turistas britanicos en su mayoria, hasta que en 1967 fue inaugurado el Aeropuerto de El Altet, lo que permitio multiplicar enormemente el numero de pasajeros, que ya al año de su inauguracion alcanzo la cifra, nada desdeñable, de 305.000.Aena ha seguido apoyando la mejora continua de sus instalaciones, y este libro se presenta precisamente con motivo de la inauguracion el 23 de marzo de 2011 de la nueva area terminal de este aeropuerto que le permitira duplicar su capacidad y que seguira siendo un pilar fundamental para el impulso de la economia en toda su area de influencia.Historia de los aeropuertos de Alicante constituye sin duda un documento de gran interes, no solo por su relato agil y didactico, y el material grafico que recopila -tanto de este aeropuerto como de los aerodromos de esta provincia-, sino tambien porque sus paginas son una muestra de la historia mas reciente de Alicante, de sus instituciones, y sobre todo la de los hombres y mujeres que con su esfuerzo consiguieron que hoy esta provincia de clima envidiable constituya un destino turistico de primer orden.Indice de la publicacion:1.

El interés por la aeronáutica del pueblo navarro quedó pronto de manifiesto cuando Pablo Rada y Julio Ruiz de Alda, vecinos de Caparroso y Estella respectivamente, participaron en la gran hazaña del hidroavion Plus Ultra en su travesia del Atlantico, desde Huelva a Buenos Aires, llevada a cabo en 1926.Pronto el Ayuntamiento de Pamplona materializo este interes con la construccion, alla por los años 30, de un aeropuerto, convencido de que su puesta en funcionamiento aportaria grandes beneficios sociales y economicos a la Comunidad Foral. Mas tarde la Diputacion apoyaria la creacion de las primeras lineas aereas comerciales que unirian Navarra con Madrid y Barcelona, situando al aeropuerto de Pamplona dentro de la red del transporte aereo comercial.La continua atencion a su mejora, con la introduccion de nuevos servicios y facilidades para pasajeros y compañias, ha hecho que un mayor numero de aerolineas se hayan ido ubicando en el aeropuerto pamplones, proporcionando nuevos destinos nacionales e internacionales.Pero nada de esto hubiera sido posible sin el esfuerzo y la profesionalidad de todos cuantos han formado parte de esta infraestructura aeronautica: desde los propios gestores, pasando por quienes se han ocupado de su mantenimiento, operatividad, etc., asi como los concesionarios que han ayudado a prestar cada dia un servicio de mayor calidad. Por ello este libro es una oportunidad para rendir un homenaje a todos ellos, y a la vez constituye una historia de crecimiento, superacion, plagada de anecdotas e imagenes que atraeran el interes de todos los navarros, ya que la historia del aeropuerto forma parte de la suya propia, y de todos aquellos que sientan alguna inclinacion por la aeronauticaIndice de la publicacion:1.

The definition of all space systems starts with the establishment of its fundamental parameters: requirements to be fulfilled, overall system and satellite design, analysis and design of the critical elements, developmental approach, cost, and schedule. There are only a few texts covering early design of space systems and none of them has been specifically dedicated to it. Furthermore all existing space engineering books concentrate on analysis. None of them deal with space system synthesis - with the interrelations between all the elements of the space system. "Introduction to Space Systems" concentrates on understanding the interaction between all the forces, both technical and non-technical, which influence the definition of a space system. This book refers to the entire system: space and ground segments, mission objectives as well as to cost, risk, and mission success probabilities. "Introduction to Space Systems" is divided into two parts. The first part analyzes the process of space system design in an abstract way. The second part of the book focuses on concrete aspects of the space system design process. It concentrates on interactions between design decisions and uses past design examples to illustrate these interactions. The idea is for the reader to acquire a good insight in what is a good design by analyzing these past designs.

This first-of-its-kind volume features unique material on novel structures of avionics front-ends and new strategies for microwave front-end design. Supported with nearly 200 illustrations and more than 160 equations, this book is a valuable professional reference and also serves well as a postgraduate textbook.

There is increasing interest in the potential of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and MAV (Micro Air Vehicle) technology and their wide ranging applications including defence missions, reconnaissance and surveillance, border patrol, disaster zone assessment and atmospheric research. High investment levels from the military sector globally is driving research and development and increasing the viability of autonomous platforms as replacements for the remotely piloted vehicles more commonly in use. UAV/UAS pose a number of new challenges, with the autonomy and in particular collision avoidance, detect and avoid, or sense and avoid, as the most challenging one, involving both regulatory and technical issues. Sense and Avoid in UAS: Research and Applications covers the problem of detect, sense and avoid in UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) in depth and combines the theoretical and application results by leading academics and researchers from industry and academia. Key features: Presents a holistic view of the sense and avoid problem in the wider application of autonomous systems Includes information on human factors, regulatory issues and navigation, control, aerodynamics and physics aspects of the sense and avoid problem in UAS Provides professional, scientific and reliable content that is easy to understand, and Includes contributions from leading engineers and researchers in the field Sense and Avoid in UAS: Research and Applications is an invaluable source of original and specialised information. It acts as a reference manual for practising engineers and advanced theoretical researchers and also forms a useful resource for younger engineers and postgraduate students. With its credible sources and thorough review process, Sense and Avoid in UAS: Research and Applications provides a reliable source of information in an area that is fast expanding but scarcely covered.

This book embarks on a contemporary analysis of the interaction of economics and law relating to air transport, delving into the major issues that plague the industry. It shows how some of the thorny and frustrating issues could be approached sensibly. Among the issues discussed are the anomaly of exponential growth of air transport which makes airline profitability continue to be poor; the legislative impediments in most countries that preclude direct foreign investment in the industry; the confounding and muddled mess behind the economics of aircraft engine emissions; and the inexplicable reality that, although civil aviation is primarily meant to meet the needs of the people of the world, State regulators have upended the equation and given priority to national interests over the interests of the passenger. The book will be of interest to economists and lawyers alike who deal with air transport issues, and also to academics and students in the area of transportation as well as regulators and airlines.

The tutorial approach adopted by the contributors, including underlying concepts and mathematical formulations, unifies the methodologies and tools required to provide practicing engineers and applied researchers with the insight to synthesize morphing air vehicles and morphing structures, as well as offering direction for future research.

Fatigue of the pressurized fuselages of transport aircraft is a significant problem all builders and users of aircraft have to cope with for reasons associated with assuring a sufficient lifetime and safety, and formulating adequate inspection procedures. These aspects are all addressed in various formal protocols for creating and maintaining airworthiness, including damage tolerance considerations. In most transport aircraft, fatigue occurs in lap joints, sometimes leading to circumstances that threaten safety in critical ways. The problem of fatigue of lap joints has been considerably enlarged by the goal of extending aircraft lifetimes. Fatigue of riveted lap joints between aluminium alloy sheets, typical of the pressurized aircraft fuselage, is the major topic of the present book. The richly illustrated and well-structured chapters treat subjects such as: structural design solutions and loading conditions for fuselage skin joints; relevance of laboratory test results for simple lap joint specimens to riveted joints in a real structure; effect of various production and design related variables on the riveted joint fatigue behaviour; analytical and experimental results on load transmission in mechanically fastened lap joints; theoretical and experimental analysis of secondary bending and its implications for riveted joint fatigue performance; nucleation and shape development of fatigue cracks in riveted longitudinal lap joints; overview of experimental investigations into the multi-site damage for full scale fuselage panels and riveted lap joint specimens; fatigue crack growth and fatigue life prediction methodology for riveted lap joints; residual strength predictions for riveted lap joints in a fuselage structure. The major issues of each chapter are recapitulated in the last section.

El libro narra el proceso de invención de la máquina de volar más pesada que el aire. Sin sacrificar el rigor técnico, se trata de un texto entretenido, que despierta inmediatamente la atención de cualquier lector apasionado por la tecnologia, la aviacion o la historia. El autor se ha interesado por la vida de los inventores, sus contribuciones reales al proceso y los elementos del entorno social y politico que influyeron en sus creaciones. Segun el autor, sin entender la personalidad de los inventores no es posible reconstruir el proceso de la invencion. Si Leonardo da Vinci fue capaz de abrir cadaveres en los hospitales para estudiar musculos y visceras, parece verosimil que intentara volar con alguna de sus maquinas. La frustracion causada por una larga enfermedad a Wilbur Wright, en su primera juventud, lo llevaria a perseverar en el logro de un gran triunfo intelectual. Santos Dumont perseguiria el exito toda su vida, para cumplir con el mandato de su padre de encontrar su lugar en el mundo. El autor ha profundizado en la vida de todos los personajes que contribuyeron de forma decisiva a la invencion de la maquina de volar. Un mundo nutrido de protagonistas tan excepcionales como el florentino Da Vinci, el principe de las matematicas Leonhard Euler, el ingeniero Smeaton, el aristocrata Cayley, el millonario Santos Dumont, o el inventor de la ametralladora, Hiram Maxim. Los personajes, sus vidas, las relaciones entre ellos y los acontecimientos historicos, forman el entramado de un apasionante relato que gana en intensidad hasta alcanzar el cenit en los albores del siglo XX, con la irrupcion en el escenario de los hermanos Wright.
