Abstract: As computer-aided design (CAD) tools have become an essential aspect of modern mechanical engineering design, the demand for CAD experts has increased significantly. The development from novice, to proficient, to expert ...

Abstract: A boundary layer with Re = 106 is simulated numerically on a flat plate using morphing continuum theory. This theory introduces new terms related to microproperties of the fluid. These terms are added to a finite-volume ...

Abstract: Continuum-based theories, such as Navier–Stokes (NS) equations, have been considered inappropriate for flows under nonequilibrium conditions. In part, it is due to the lack of rotational degrees-of-freedom in the ...

Abstract: The problem of horizontal-plane tracking control of an omnidirectional, four vectored-thruster aerostat subjected to actuator failure is considered. The actuator failures result in the aerostat’s becoming underactuated, ...
