Aerospace structures

The aim of this Master of Engineering (MEng) - Aerospace thesis is to study the structural response and failure of aerospace grade composites during exposure to fire. Key aspects of the research are to analyse the thermal and mechanical responses of laminates and sandwich composites in high temperature and fire environments, which result in softening and structural failure. The research is concentrated on carbon/epoxy laminates and sandwich composites, which are the most common composite materials used in aerospace structures.

The aim of this Masters of Engineering (MEng) - Aerospace thesis was to investigate the durability of Piezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors (PWAS) for the health monitoring of composite structures. One significant challenge faced by the aviation industry is the cost and time associated with maintaining aircrafts, in particular, aging airliners. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a possible approach to reduce the high cost of inspection and maintenance.

Modern mechanical and aerospace systems are often very complex and consist of many components interconnected by joints and force elements such as springs, dampers, and actuators. These systems are referred to, in modern literature, as multibody systems. Examples of multibody systems are machines, mechanisms, robotics, vehicles, space structures, and biomechanical systems.

PROCESS, QUANTUM, AND ANALYTICAL SENSORS INTRODUCTION Automatic test systems, manufacturing process control, analytical instrumentation, and aerospace electronic systems all would have diminished capabilities without the availability of contemporary computer integrated data systems with multisensor information structures. This text develops supporting quantitative error models that enable a unified performance evaluation for the design and analysis of linear and digital instrumentation systems with the goal of compatibility of integration with other enterprise quality representations....
