Abstract: Robotic landing gear (RLG) for rotorcraft improves performance in landing on sloped uneven terrain, unprepared areas, and ship decks. The interaction between the feet of the RLG and the landing surface are pivotal to a ...

Abstract: When a product is a complex dynamic system that interacts directly with a human, engineers must consider a wide range of possible motions and forces that the device could exert on the human. Such an analysis goes beyond a ...

Abstract: Actively controlled gun-launched projectiles require a means of modifying the projectile flight trajectory. While numerous potential mechanisms exist, microspoiler devices have been shown to be a promising control actuator ...
