Abstract. Alba CubeSat is a 2U CubeSat which is being developed by a student team at the University of Padova. The Alba project aims to design, build, test, launch, and operate University of Padova’s first student CubeSat, featuring four different payloads that aim to satisfy four independent objectives. The first goal is to collect data regarding the debris environment in LEO, the second goal is the study of the satellite vibrations, the third one is about CubeSat attitude determination through laser ranging technology and the fourth goal concerns satellite laser and quantum communication. The Alba CubeSat mission has been selected by ESA to join the Fly Your Satellite! Design Booster programme in December 2022. This paper presents the feasibility study of the Alba CubeSat mission reproduced in the framework of the “Space Systems Laboratory” class of M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Padova. In the beginning, a mission requirements definition was conducted. After that, the mission feasibility was considered, with preliminary requirements verification to assess the ability of the spacecraft to survive the space environment, including compliance with Debris Mitigation Guidelines, ground station visibility and minimum operative lifetime evaluation. The Alba mission sets a base for a better understanding of the space environment and its interaction with nanosatellites, and an improvement of the accuracy of debris models. Furthermore, this paper, describing the educational experience and the results achieved, will provide a useful example for future students’ studies on CubeSat mission design.

Abstract. This work presents the Politecnico di Milano Icing Research Group's contribution to developing new numerical tools and methodologies for simulating long-term in-flight icing over complex three-dimensional geometries. PoliMIce is an in-house ice accretion software that includes state-of-the-art solvers for the dispersed phase to compute the droplets’ impact on the aircraft, and ice accretion models, including the exact local solution of the unsteady Stefan problem. PoliMIce has also been extensively developed for the simulation and robust design optimization of thermal ice protection systems. A crucial aspect that characterizes and makes numerical simulations challenging is the formation, and evolution in time of complex ice geometries, resulting from the ice accretion over the body surface and/or previously formed ice. A multi-step procedure is implemented since the aerodynamic flow field is coupled with ice accretion. The total icing exposure time is subdivided into smaller time steps. At each time step, a three-dimensional body-fitted mesh suitable for the computation of the aerodynamic flow field around the updated geometry is generated automatically. The novel remeshing procedure is based on an implicit domain representation of the ice-air interface through a level-set method and Delaunay triangulation to generate a new conformal body-fitted mesh. In this work, the unique capabilities of the PoliMIce suite are employed to perform automatic multi-step ice accretion simulations over a swept wing in glaze ice conditions. Numerical simulations are hence compared with the available experimental data.

Abstract. Composite materials have gained significant prominence in the field of aerospace engineering owing to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them well-suited for structural applications. However, these materials are susceptible to degradation due to exposure to environmental factors, such as humidity and temperature changes. Detecting and quantifying such damage presents considerable challenges, particularly in the case of cyclically loaded components. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors provide a non-destructive means of monitoring composite material degradation by leveraging optical reflection to measure changes in strain and temperature. This research aims to assess and validate a methodology for employing FBG sensors to effectively monitor the degradation of composite material matrices. The investigation mainly consists in characterizing the correlation between FBG sensor wavelength shifts and the strains incurred due to the manufacturing process, moisture absorption, and thermal effects. The anticipated outcomes hold the potential to enhance the reliability and safety of composite structures employed within the aeronautical domain.

Abstract. This paper presents an approach to evaluate the performance of low-bypass turbofan engines without afterburner for a low-boom supersonic aircraft operating at Mach 1.5. The proposed method focuses on optimizing the propulsive performance by minimizing fuel consumption while meeting mission profile requirements. The study contributes to the MORE&LESS project, providing methods for rapidly designing novel supersonic propulsion concepts with improved environmental performance. The research conducts a thermodynamic analysis for on-design engine conditions based on the Modified Specific Heat (MSH) gas model. Specific non-installed thrust and fuel consumption are estimated for cruise phase. Then, the engine cycle analysis is also performed to study off-design performance, including simplified models to account for engine drag and calculate installed thrust and fuel consumption. MATLAB simulations are employed to determine thrust and consumption based on the specific mission profile of the Mach 1.5 case-study, allowing for comparison of different engine types. Ongoing work involves the optimization of engine parameters such as compression ratio, bypass ratio, and turbine inlet temperature, targeting further fuel consumption reduction and pollutant emission estimations.

Abstract. The minimisation of aircraft noise remains a major challenge for the aerospace industry. Noise certification limits continue to be driven lower over time to counter the impact of the steadily increasing number of noise events in the vicinity of airports, along with an increased sensitivity of the public to aircraft noise. This, in turn, ensures that considerable engineering time and effort is used to target all of the major contributors to aircraft noise. Aircraft noise sources include engine fan inlet, fan bypass, jet, and airframe noise, among others. Fan inlet, bypass, and core, ducts are typically lined with absorbing acoustic panels in order to minimise radiated fan noise. This paper is focussed on the latter, describing work to address the design and optimisation of novel acoustic liners.

Abstract. A family of analytical and semi-analytical models for the characterization and design of low thrust collision avoidance manoeuvres (CAMs) in space is presented. The orbit modification due to the CAM is quantified through the change in Keplerian elements, and their evolution in time is described by analytical expressions separating secular and oscillatory components. Furthermore, quasi-optimal, piecewise-constant control profiles are derived from impulsive CAM models. The development of these models is part of an ESA-funded project to advance existing tools for collision avoidance activities.

Abstract. In a global context where modern societies need to move towards greater environmental sustainability, ambitious targets to limit pollutant emissions and combat climate change have been set out. Concerning the aviation sector, research centers and industries are carrying out new aircraft designs with increased use of electrical energy onboard aircraft both for non-propulsive and propulsive purposes, leading to the concepts of More Electric Aircraft (MEA), Hybrid Electric Aircraft (HEA) and All-Electric Aircraft (AEA). Despite the expected flight emissions reduction, new potential air transportation missions, safer flights, and enhanced design flexibility, there are some drawbacks hindering the trend to HEA solutions, strictly bounded to the limited performance of traditional battery systems. The reference is to low energy and power densities, which impact on aircraft weight and flight performances. A new technology, namely structural battery, combining energy storage and load-bearing capacity in multifunctional material structures, is now under investigation since capable to mitigate or even eliminate barriers to the electrification of air transport sector. Although, the deployment of this technology raises relevant questions regarding airworthiness requirements, which need to be applied when considering such multifunctional materials. The purpose of the presented activity is to take a step towards the definition of aircraft certification requirements when dealing with structural batteries, considering them both as a structure and as a battery, to maintain unchanged or even improve the level of safety in all normal and emergency conditions.

Abstract. Novel-aircraft concepts consider the possibility of placing the propulsor very close to the fuselage to ingest the incoming airframe boundary layer. In this configuration, the engine takes in flow at a reduced velocity, thus consuming less fuel in the combustion process. However, this induces a series of noise consequences that alter the noise perceived by an observer. The present work reports an experimental investigation to compare the far-field noise directivity emitted by two different propellers ingesting a boundary layer at two different states. The experiments have been performed in the anechoic wind tunnel at the University of Bristol. The experimental setup consists of a propeller placed in the proximity of a tangential flat plate, which represents a simplified model of a fuselage. Two tripping devices placed 1 m (6.5 rotor radii) upstream of the propeller have been used to generate distinct boundary layer thicknesses. Results from two distinct propellers with three and five blades have been compared, varying the advance ratio J from 0.56 to 0.98. Far-field noise has been acquired using a microphone array positioned in the plate plane. The data have been analysed in the frequency domain, providing an extensive characterization of the far-field directivity. Results show a general increase in noise when the propeller ingests a thicker boundary layer. Furthermore, a change in directivity pattern is observed varying the advance ratio, suggesting a variation of the underlying physics. Finally, considering different J, the overall noise emission appears to be dependent on the number of blades.

Abstract. The new Adaptive Finite Elements presented are based on Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) that permits to implement 1D and 2D elements with 3D capabilities. In particular, by exploiting the node-dependent kinematic approach recently introduced and incorporating the FEM shape functions with the CUF kinematic assumptions in unique 3D approximating functions, it is demonstrated that new mesh capabilities can be obtained with the use of presented elements by easy implementation. A classical patch test is performed to investigate the mesh distortion sensitivity.
