Prashant Khare, renowned researcher, department head of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics, and new associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, AIAA, is studying the phenomena of hypersonic flight. Faster than the speed of sound, economical hypersonic flight is a dream that would change the world. In his laboratory at UC, Khare and his research team of students are studying air travel of speeds higher than 13,000mph, and how to overcome the barriers. "Imagine you could travel internationally in under two hours," Khare said. More:https://lnkd.in/ggthXusG

#Article 📜 Training, Control and Application of SMA-Based Actuators with Two-Way Shape Memory Effect by Renhao Liu, Chen Zhang, Hongli Ji, Chao Zhang and Jinhao Qiu 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gNM__CPZ MDPI; Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics #shapememoryalloys #PIDcontrol #Preisachtheory #hysteresismodel #Abstract Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are widely used in aerospace, automobile, and other fields because of their excellent properties, such as large driving force and large deformation. A training method with a bidirectional memory effect is proposed for SMA actuators. The trained SMA units can be heated and cooled to change their shape (shorten and extend). The trained SMA is used as an actuator to drive the deformation of a structure. Due to the obvious hysteresis characteristics of SMA, a temperature-displacement hysteresis model based on the Preisach model is proposed in order to reduce the influence of hysteresis in the process of structural deformation. The F function method (FFM) is used for Preisach numerical implementation, and a PID control method is used for the precise control of structural deformation. Compared with the PID control method without hysteresis model, this method is superior to the PID control method in response speed and control accuracy. The maximum relative error of three target points in the experiment is 5.45%, which is better than the PID control method without this model. The hysteresis model can be applied to the displacement control of a SMA-based actuator.

I am happy to share that I have recently begun my Masters of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University! One of my favorite things about this program is the flexibility to build my own engineering degree. With this, I will tailor it to what aerospace engineering topics interest me! #PurdueEngineering #AerospaceEngineering #InterdisciplinaryLearning #MastersJourney #InnovationInEngineering

Really excited for United Machinists to be Silver Sponsors at the upcoming NZ Aerospace Summit. We'll have lots of tricky pieces on display to showcase our capabilities, as well as some behind the scenes footage of our people and technology in action. I'm also really stoked to be a panel speaker about manufacturing for Space. CNC machining for aerospace is so much more than just machining a part - having world class CNC machines is simply permission to play. A company needs to create a culture of care and quality, integrate software to automate workflows for such high mix production and to ensure traceability is seamlessly efficient and available at the click of a button in perpetuity. Most importantly given the low volume but mission critical nature of the space industry, we must have real time visibility of our schedule and a relentless focus on continuous improvement that drives DIFOTIS - 'delivery in full on-time in specification'.

Scientists dream about doing great things; engineers do them.** This quote is often attributed to Theodore von Kármán, a Hungarian-American engineer and physicist who made significant contributions to the fields of aeronautics and astronautics. The quote highlights the different roles that scientists and engineers play in the process of innovation. Scientists are responsible for coming up with new ideas and theories, while engineers are responsible for turning those ideas into reality. Scientists are often driven by curiosity and a desire to understand the world around them. They are constantly asking questions and seeking new knowledge. Engineers, on the other hand, are more focused on solving problems and finding practical applications for scientific discoveries. Both scientists and engineers are essential to the process of innovation. Scientists provide the ideas, while engineers provide the know-how to turn those ideas into reality. #engineering #IAU #scientist #engineers #innovation
