A 3D-Printing Centered Approach to Mars Habitat Architecture and Fabrication
(ASCE, 2021-09-22)It is seemingly inevitable that one day humans will land on the surface of Mars. Between the Apollo lunar missions, International Space Station, and Martian rovers and landers, much of the technology required to transport ... -
A Civil Engineer's View from Space
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)From the perspective of a 250‐nautical‐mile orbit aboard the Space Shuttle, the author has had the opportunity to observe the effects of man on the earth, to reflect on his future in space, and to examine the role civil ... -
A Collaboratively Iterative Sequential Approximate Optimization Method for Aerodynamic Optimization
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)The sequential approximate optimization (SAO) method is widely adopted in aircraft optimization design, whose further improvement in efficacy and efficiency has encountered bottlenecks. In this paper, a collaboratively ... -
A Comparative Study of DWT and EEMD Methods for Validation and Correction of Pyroshock Data
(ASCE, 2022/05/27)Low-frequency errors are a type of testing errors commonly existing in pyroshock experiments due to the harsh mechanical environment that lead to inaccuracy and contamination of pyroshock data. It is necessary to eliminate ... -
A Compressor Stall Warning System for Aeroengines Based on the Continuous Wavelet Transform and a Vision Transformer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The aerodynamic stability of a compressor has a crucial impact on the performance of modern aircraft power system. It is necessary to design an accurate and reliable rotating stall warning system to take active control ... -
A Continuous Nonlinear Sliding Mode Control with Fractional Operators for Quadrotor UAV Systems in the Presence of Disturbances
(ASCE, 2021-10-28)This paper investigates the robust continuous fractional-order nonlinear sliding mode (RCFONSM) control scheme for controlling a disturbed uncertain quadrotor (DUQ). First, the fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding ... -
A Different Race: The Philosophy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)The infrastructure of a nation is the foundation of the nation's ability to compete in world markets, maintain a credible deterrence, influence other nations, and create surpluses for use in social programs. Part of the ... -
A Dynamic Equilibrium–Based Damage Identification Method Free of Structural Baseline Parameters: Experimental Validation in a Two-Dimensional Plane Structure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A damage identification method named the pseudoexcitation (PE) approach was established previously, the principle of which resides on local examination of perturbation of structural dynamic equilibrium conditions. While ... -
A Fast and Efficient Method for Multiobjective Aerodynamic Optimization of a Civil Aircraft Fuselage
(ASCE, 2022/11/01)This study presents a new method for aerodynamic optimization of a civil aircraft fuselage. Typically, the fuselage is designed for minimum drag force at cruise conditions, which is essential for determining the flight ... -
