The aim of this study is to design a landing control system and test it on X-Plane flight simulator. Model-Following control and H-Infinity output feedback control methods are used to design the controller. In the flare part of the automatic landing system, it is desired to reduce the rate of descent in order to make aircraft touch down softly. This is accomplished by exponential decay trajectory. The trajectory which is drawn by the referenced model is followed by the linearized aircraft model. The error between commanded altitude and the current altitude converges to zero before touch down. Controller gains used in the model-following control design are calculated by using the H-Infinity output feedback control method since not all the state variables will be available for feedback in actual flight. Aircraft control commands for the flare control design in Matlab-Simulink environment are sent to the aircraft model in X-Plane flight simulator via User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and then the measured aircraft output variables are received simultaneously. The results provided in this study show that the aircraft in X-Plane flight simulator which has a nonlinear environment can be controlled by the model-following controller to satisfy the landing flare requirements. Robustness of the controller will also be evaluated against modeling errors and external disturbances.

Chatter in cutting process is harmful to the productivity by its harmful effects such as poor surface quality and reduced productivity. Modeling and analyzing machining stability become necessary to understand the process dynamics and especially to predict the stability in machining operations. Stability lobe diagrams are among the methods that have been adopted to analyze system stability by indicating the boundary between stable and unstable zone. The diagrams are generated function of the depth or width of cut and the spindle speed. In this paper we will present a 3-DOFs analytical analysis of a turning cutting process stability of a steel 42 CD 4 workpiece (hollow cylinder) at low cutting speed including generation of stability lobe diagrams, workpiece displacements and cutting efforts time-variation curves.

It is easy for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) spacecraft to accumulate charged particles during its flight, resulting in the surface potential rises, producing the discharge phenomenon and generating serious harm to the craft. This paper is based on the kinetic theory of gases, the theory of plasma in Maxwell velocity distribution function and spacecraft surface current balance equation, calculating the general expression of surface potential with plasma density, plasma temperature and spacecraft speed under the condition of no light. The results show that the surface potential of the spacecraft almost has a linear relationship with the flight speed and the plasma temperature while plasma density has little effect on the surface potential of spacecraft.

In view of the correlation function matrix, a 3D atmospheric turbulence field based on the Von Karman model is generated with the Monte Carlo simulation, which realizes the deduction and application of the complex Von Karman model. The ability of the simulation to approach the theoretical result is unlimited. The whitening degree of the random number sequence and the precision and efficiency of the atmospheric turbulence simulations are improved. This atmospheric turbulence field is identical with the Von Karman model for the numerical tests and has perfect statistical characteristics and simulation precision. The simulation method in this paper could be used in flight simulation.

Free form surface modeling is one of the most advanced procedures of creating digital models in CAD. Use of free surface for creating solid models has become increasingly relevant in terms of technological possibilities of production in the subsequent phases of the product lifecycle. Multi-axis computer-controlled machines are standard even in small workshops and rapid prototyping is undergoing progressive development and deployment of industry. Initial geometry is a system of free curves in space. Free-form surfaces are reference geometry for shape complex solid objects. Applicability of free formed bodies for implementing subsequent manufacturing processes depends on the consistency of surfaces enveloping model. Using exact quantitative analysis of the free-form surface is difficult and inappropriate. The presented paper describes analysis methods of initial free curves and subsequent free areas in order to identify and assess the consistency and smoothness of the surface for the use the model in the subsequent phases of the product lifecycle.

Aircraft wings are usually optimized for a specific mission design point. However, since they operate in a wide variety of flight conditions, some of these have conflicting impacts on aircraft design process, as a single configuration may be efficient in one instance but perform poorly in others. A shape-shifting surface, or usually referred as “morphing”, potentially enables transport aircraft to reach maximum performance in any flight conditions. Within the framework of the Joint Technology Initiative Clean Sky (JTI-CS) project, and during the first phase of the Green Regional Aircraft Integrated Technological Demonstration (GRA-ITD), the authors focused on the design and technological demonstration of an innovative bi-modal morphing outer wing flap to be installed on the next generation open rotor green regional aircraft. A novel active rib layout was designed to enable the articulation of the entire flap structure by means of multi-box arrangement. In order to prove structural load-carrying capabilities with the reference to a relevant environment, the full-scale morphing flap was properly analyzed by means of detailed finite element model analysis. To the authors' knowledge, there is no morphing concept in literature based on a similar architecture based on distributed servo-mechanical actuators. Hence, a rational review of the potential problems associated with actuators off-design conditions has been conducted to investigate the maturity of the concept and safety issues concerning the flap ground static test. In addition, useful insights have been provided to effectively detect potential failure conditions in service.

This paper presents the validation and numerical parameter study of a semi-empirical trailing edge noise model. Turbulent boundary layer trailing edge noise is the main contributor of wind turbine noise and aircraft airframe noise. To predict this self-noise generated due to the interaction between a turbulent boundary layer flow and an airfoil trailing edge, a semi-empirical model was developed in NASA. The model has been widely used in academia and industry to predict the trailing edge noise. The capabilities and limitations of this semi-empirical model is further studied in this paper by comparing the predictions of the model with experimental data that were presented in a recent Benchmark Problems for Airframe Noise Computations (BANC) workshop. In order to better understand the behavior of trailing edge noise with operating conditions, numerical parameter study is investigated by varying variables such as chord length, Reynolds number, and Mach number.

An analysis of lightning current conduction and the resulting damage to the composite material on aircraft was implemented in this paper by adopting the thermoelectric coupling through ABAQUS simulation. On the basis of the existing lightning simulation experiments, a three-dimensional finite element model of composite laminate was built; the electrical and thermal boundary condition together with the coupled material properties was introduced. As a result, the thermal distribution of lightning current and the damage process of composite laminate were therefore obtained from the simulation. It can be derived from the result that the shape as well as the size of the damage varies on different composite layers: by comparing the results of the four typical inducting lightning currents with the same peak magnitude as well as the damage generated in different layers, it is conclude that the damage area and the damage depth are proportional to the action integral.

In this paper, a novel algorithm for correcting the error of attitude in inertial navigation systems is introduced. Since the oftenly used differential equations of the navigation errors show the small rotation angles instead of the error of Euler angles, the nonlinear equation between the small rotation angles and the error of Euler angles, are derived. To obtain an approximative solution for the derived equations, third order multiplication of the small rotation angles are ignored and error of Euler angles are expressed explicitly as functions of the Euler angles and the small rotation angles. Based on the obtained solution, a new algorithm for attitude correction in inertial navigation is developed. A comprehensive numerical simulation is performed and superiority of the proposed algorithm than the usual method used for attitude correction, is shown. The proposed algorithm has smaller error in calculation of Euler angles. Also, the proposed method saves the orthogonality and normality conditions of the transformation matrix.
