This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings ofthe meeting on "Applied Mathematics in the Aerospace Field," held in Erice, Sicily, Italy from September 3 to September 10, 1991. The occasion of the meeting was the 12th Course of the School of Mathematics "Guido Stampacchia," directed by Professor Franco Giannessi of the University of Pisa. The school is affiliated with the International Center for Scientific Culture "Ettore Majorana," which is directed by Professor Antonino Zichichi of the University of Bologna. The objective of the course was to give a perspective on the state-of the-art and research trends concerning the application of mathematics to aerospace science and engineering. The course was structured with invited lectures and seminars concerning fundamental aspects of differential equa tions, mathematical programming, optimal control, numerical methods, per turbation methods, and variational methods occurring in flight mechanics, astrodynamics, guidance, control, aircraft design, fluid mechanics, rarefied gas dynamics, and solid mechanics. The book includes 20 chapters by 23 contributors from the United States, Germany, and Italy and is intended to be an important reference work on the application of mathematics to the aerospace field. It reflects the belief of the course directors that strong interaction between mathematics and engineering is beneficial, indeed essential, to progresses in both areas.

Download or read book Delay Robustness in Cooperative Control written by Ulrich Münz and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The robustness of various cooperative control schemes on large scale networked systems with respect to heterogeneous communication and coupling delays is investigated. The presented results provide delay-dependent and delay-independent conditions that guarantee consensus, rendezvous, flocking, and synchronization in different classes of multi-agent systems (MAS). All conditions are scalable to arbitrarily large multi-agent systems with non-identical agent dynamics. In particular, conditions for linear agents, for nonlinear agents with relative degree one, and for a class of nonlinear agents with relative degree two are presented. The interconnection topology between the agents is in most cases represented by an undirected graph. The results for nonlinear agents with relative degree one hold also for the more general case of directed graphs with switching topologies. Different delay configurations are investigated and compared. These configurations represent different ways how the delays affect the coupling between the agents. The presented robustness analysis considers constant, time-varying, and distributed delays in order to take different sources of delays into account. The results are applied to several typical applications and simulations illustrate the findings.
Download or read book Optimization Techniques written by George Leitmann and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1962-01-01 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade there has been a remarkable growth of interest in problems of systems optimization and of optimal control. And with this interest has come an increasing need for methods useful for rendering systems optimum. Rising to meet this challengc there have sprung up various "schools, often championing onc method and regarding it superior to all others. Long experience has shown that life is not so simple, that the picture is not all white and black. In short, one may expect that a particular method is superior to others for the solution of some problems-rarely for all problems. Furthermore, since the basic mathematical formulation of optimization problems is often essentially the same in many approaches, it is not unreasonable to expect that there may be a great deal of similarity among various methods, a similarity - often, indeed, an identity-which is obscured by dissimilarities in language and notation. To help the uncommitted in his search for and rhoice of the optimum optimization technique is the fundamental aim of this volume. To accomplish this aim there are assembled in one book ten chapters dealing &h the various methods currently espoused for the solution of problems in systems optimization and optimal control. The choice of authors has been dictated solely by a consideration of an author's interest and expertiless in a particular method. With the advantages of such an eclectic approach and the ensuing multiple authorship there comes some loss of smoothness of over - all presentation, for which the Editor must take the sole blame. On the one hand, correlation between the various chapters has been achieved by cross-referencing; on the other hand, each chapter can be read as a separate entity setting forth the technique championed by a particular "School. While each of the ten chapters dealing with methods includes simple examples, primarily for didactic purposes, it has been thought useful to present four additional chapters dealing with applications alone. Of these, the first three, Chapters 11-13, cover specific optimization problems, and the final chapter contains a discussion of problems in the optimization of a complete system, in this case a nuclear propulsion system.

Download or read book Engineering Analysis written by Merle C. Potter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to introduce undergraduate students of engineering and the physical sciences to applied mathematics often essential to the successful solutions of practical problems. The topics selected are a review of Differential Equations, Laplace Transforms, Matrices and Determinants, Vector Analysis, Partial Differential Equations, Complex Variables, and Numerical Methods. The style of presentation is such that the step-by-step derivations may be followed by the reader with minimum assistance. Liberal use of approximately 160 examples and 1000 homework problems serves to aid students in their study. This book presents mathematical topics using derivations (similar to the technique used in engineering textbooks) rather than theorems and proofs typically found in textbooks written by mathematicians. Engineering Analysis is uniquely qualified to help apply mathematics to physical applications (spring-mass systems, electrical circuits, conduction, diffusion, etc.), in a manner as efficient and understandable as possible. This book was written to provide for an additional mathematics course after differential equations, to permit several topics to be introduced in one semester, and to make the material comprehensible to undergraduates.The book comes with an Instructor Solutions Manual, available on request, that provides solutions to all problems and also a Student Solutions Manual that provides solutions to select problems (the answers to which are given at the back of the book).

Download or read book Python for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering written by Alex Kenan and published by Alex Kenan. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional computer science courses for engineering focus on the fundamentals of programming without demonstrating the wide array of practical applications for fields outside of computer science. Thus, the mindset of “Java/Python is for computer science people or programmers, and MATLAB is for engineering” develops. MATLAB tends to dominate the engineering space because it is viewed as a batteries-included software kit that is focused on functional programming. Everything in MATLAB is some sort of array, and it lends itself to engineering integration with its toolkits like Simulink and other add-ins. The downside of MATLAB is that it is proprietary software, the license is expensive to purchase, and it is more limited than Python for doing tasks besides calculating or data capturing. This book is about the Python programming language. Specifically, it is about Python in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Did you know that Python can be used to model a satellite orbiting the Earth? You can find the completed programs and a very helpful 595 page NSA Python tutorial at the book’s GitHub page at https://www.github.com/alexkenan/pymae.
