Abstract: A new analytic formulation to express the time derivatives of the instantaneous impact point (IIP) of a rocket is proposed. The geometric relationship on a plane tangential to the IIP is used to decompose the inertial IIP ...

Abstract: Architectural complexity management of engineering systems is becoming a major issue as systems built nowadays implement more complex technologies and innovations. In this paper, we present a preliminary research finding ...

Abstract: A product family is a set of products that are derived from common sets of parts, interfaces, and processes, known as the product platform. To reduce development time and procurement and operating costs of product platformbased ...
