Abstract: This paper addresses the application of the decomposition theory of mathematical programming to the engineering design process. While decomposition theory does offer a vehicle for solving large ...

Abstract: The integration of aircraft control systems for future weapon systems will require the engine control system to meet the mission reliability of the flight control system. This will be accomplished ...

Abstract: Since 1976, the U.S. Navy in conjunction with Pratt and Whitney Aircraft (PWA) has been actively engaged in developing the technology base for on engine, dual redundant, fault tolerant, full ...

Abstract: Advanced integrated flight and propulsion control systems may require the use of optic technology to provide enhanced electromagnetic immunity and reduced weight. Immunity to electromagnetic ...

Abstract: This paper develops a procedure for the optimization of dies used in the deep drawing process. Previous efforts in this area are initially related. Considerable discussion is then devoted to ...

Abstract: The object of this investigation was to develop a procedure for making optimal maintenance decisions for a deteriorating system. The particular system chosen for study is a pavement, and a methodology is developed to ensure ...
