Tuning the Deformation of Flapping Wing to Improve the Flight Efficiency of Dove FWMAV
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: How to conveniently tune the flexibility of the composite anisotropic flapping wing to an optimum level to improve flight efficiency is still an open question. Two simple methods have been put forward to realize the quick ...
Influence of Different Take-Off Weights on the Longitudinal Dynamic Stability of Flapping-Wing MAVs
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to different requirements of flight tasks, take-off weights vary according to different payloads, which will definitely influence the trim characteristics and flight dynamics of vehicles. When the mass ratio between ...
The Effect of Unsteady Flapping Motion on the Aerodynamic Performance of Bio-Inspired Alula
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Avian flight has inspired scientists and engineers for a long time. Flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FMAV) is a kind of air vehicle mimicking the avian flapping flight that has achieved great success in this century. ...
Secondary Concentrators to Achieve High Flux Radiation With Metal Halide Solar Simulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents assessments of the sensitivity of the performance of high flux solar simulators to the key variables of conical secondary concentrators for metal halide lamps, which offer complementary benefits compared ...
A Study of the Distribution and Variability of Cloud Water Using ISCCP, SSM/I Cloud Product, and Reanalysis Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this paper, the global distribution of cloud water based on International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR), European ...
Performance Prediction Method for Forward Variable Area Bypass Injector of Variable Cycle Engine Based on Numerical Simulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As an evolutional concept of aero engine, the variable cycle engine (VCE) can adjust the thermodynamic cycle via working on different modes to meet different flight missions. These working modes lead to the performance and ...
