With ever increasing concern on energy diversification, energy efficiency and environmental protection, electric vehicles (EVs) including the pure EV (PEV), hybrid EV (HEV) and fuel-cell EV (FEV) are becoming attractive ...

Recently, there has been an emphasis on the growing problem of orbital debris. While the advantages of placing satellites into space are numerous, advances in satellite technology combined with the growth of the industry...

Spray burners form an essential part of any liquid propulsion system as they are responsible for injecting, atomizing, mixing and combusting the liquid fuel. Spray combustion used in aerospace applications like the liqui...

The lift generated by a translating wing of known translational speed, lift coefficient and area is calculated by a simple equation. A propeller or rotor generating thrust share the same aerodynamic principles but their ...

No commercial airplane in service today is able to fly half great-circle distances over the globe and achieve the non-stop or the global range to any antipodal location on Earth. A subsonic jetliner has the optimum cruis...

This paper presents an introductory overview of principles of the three-layer hierarchy of active fault-tolerance, providing, determination of the fault type with as many details as enough to get recoverable fault reason...

Aluminium is universal and vital constituent in composite propellants and typically used to improve performance. Aluminum agglomeration takes place on the burning surface of aluminized propellants, which leads to reduced...

Combustion lies at the heart of gas turbine technology. The combustor is the power source that aids the acceleration of flight. It provides the core functionality of adding heat through the controlled burn of the air-fue...

Abstract: During the last years, several thrust control systems of aerospace rocket engines have been developed. The fluidic thrust vectoring is one of them; it is simple in design and offers a substantial gain in weigh...

The aerospike engine was first devised in the early 1960s where it provided new means of reaching orbit in a single stage. The paper aimes to demonstrate the viability of the technology by showcasing the increased nozzle...

Determining the performance characteristics of off the shelf pulsed plasma thrusters to enhance the life time of low earth orbiting platforms was investigated theoretically. Pulsed plasma thruster analysis was accomplish...

As in countless other fields of human endeavor, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have the potential to benefit pinniped (Pinnipedia; e.g., Phocidae [seals], Otariidae [sea lions], and Odobenidae [walruses]) respons...

Combustion of aluminized solid propellants exhibits phenomena associated with accumulation, agglomeration, ignition, and combustion of ultra-fine aluminium particles. In this study, agglomeration phenomenon of ultra-fine...

Robotics has evolved a lot since its origin. The design of these robots is done based on various aspects, and one such aspect is bioinspired robots, which lies one of the most challenging fields were a robot is developed...

"We report extensive numerical simulations of the flow of anisotropic self-propelled particles through a constriction. In particular, we explore the role of the particles’ desired orientation with respect to the moving...

Abstract Control of frontal plane mechanics requires active integration of sensory feedback to regulate stability in response to gait perturbations, such as split‐belt walking (SBW). In comparison to sagittal plane mec...

Comfort is an important factor for passengers in the selection of airlines, and electric propeller aircraft will be an important element of future sustainable aviation. In this paper, we studied the order of importance o...

Abstract The adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has accelerated due to ongoing technological advancements, cost reductions, and a growing awareness of environmental issues. However, despite this progress, challenges per...

The establishment of macropore structure and infiltration simulation is primarily used to explain the mechanism and dynamic change of macropore flows. The macropore domain of unsaturated zone soil of slopes by means of C...

ABSTRACT Swimming propulsion can be improved using dry‐land resistance training. Indeed, previous studies showed that the ability to produce maximal power and maximal force on dry‐land is strongly related to sprint s...

Traditional electromechanical cleaning equipment remains overly dependent on human assistance when performing cleaning tasks in unstructured marine environments. With the rapid development of robotic technologies, underw...
