This book provides its reader with a good understanding of the stabilization of switched nonlinear systems (SNS), systems that are of practical use in diverse situations: design of fault-tolerant systems in space- and aircraft; traffic control; and heat propagation control of semiconductor power chips. The practical background is emphasized throughout the book; interesting practical examples frequently illustrate the theoretical results with aircraft and spacecraft given particular prominence. Stabilization of Switched Nonlinear Systems with Unstable Modes treats several different subclasses of SNS according to the characteristics of the individual system (time-varying and distributed parameters, for example), the state composition of individual modes and the degree and distribution of instability in its various modes. Achievement and maintenance of stability across the system as a whole is bolstered by trading off between individual modes which may be either stable or unstable or by exploiting areas of partial stability within all the unstable modes. The book can be used as a reference for academic research on switched systems or used by graduate students of control theory and engineering. Readers should have studied linear and nonlinear system theory and have some knowledge of switched and hybrid systems to get the most from this monograph.

La obra comienza en su primer capítulo abordando la definición y adecuación de los modelos de cálculo; con el apoyo de fotografías de estructuras reales, se analiza su modelización geométrica, de vinculacion y de acciones y, sobre todo, el modo en el que refleja su comportamiento real.El segundo capitulo se centra en el estudio de los sistemas estructurales mas sencillos: las estructuras isostaticas. En ellas se aprovecha su estricto balance entre los grados de libertad de los solidos y las ligaduras que coartan sus movimientos para determinar completamente su respuesta estructural mediante las ecuaciones de equilibrio.Una vez obtenidas las reacciones en los vinculos y las interacciones entre los solidos se entra en el analisis de sus solicitaciones internas en cada seccion transversal: los esfuerzos axiles, cortantes, momentos flectores y torsores.Finalmente un ultimo apartado acomete el calculo de las deformaciones elasticas de las cerchas y los porticos mediante procedimientos energeticos basados en el principio de los trabajos virtuales.El tercer capitulo aborda con mayor extension el analisis de las estructuras articuladas y reticuladas hiperestaticas. En este caso, considerando el exceso de vinculacion que las caracteriza, se complementan las ecuaciones de equilibrio con condiciones mas complejas de compatibilidad de deformaciones. La contribucion de cada uno de los modos de respuesta provocados por el hiperestatismo se establece en funcion de la rigidez de los distintos elementos del sistema.El libro contempla los metodos elasticos de flexibilidad y rigidez. El primero resulta mas adecuado para sistemas con grados bajos de hiperestatismo y el segundo es particularmente util en sistemas fuertemente hiperestaticos. Dentro de este ultimo se detalla el metodo slope-deflection, que no se encuentra descrito con profundidad en la bibliografia española.En el cuarto capitulo se suponen ya conocidos los esfuerzos internos de los elementos estructurales y se proporcionan unas pautas simples para su dimensionado basico. Se analizan las tensiones normales y tangenciales producidas por los diferentes tipos de esfuerzos y se procede a su combinacion y comparacion con las tensiones admisibles en el material. El texto aborda finalmente los procesos iterativos de optimizacion y presenta criterios de diseño.El ultimo capitulo incorpora una breve introduccion a la elasticidad de materiales, sus conceptos fundamentales y su formulacion matematica, como punto de partida para el estudio de los medios continuos y de sistemas estructurales con elementos bidimensionales y tridimensionales.

Making a detailed contribution to geographies of air transport and aeromobility, this book examines the practices and processes that produce particular patterns of air transport provision both regionally and globally. In so doing, it updates the seminal contributions of Eva Taylor (1945), Kenneth Sealy (1957), Brian Graham (1995) and others to the study of air transport geography. Leading scholars in the field offer a unique insight into the key developments that have occurred in the field and the implications that these developments have had for geography, geographers, and global patterns of past, present and future air transport.Although globalization and liberalization processes have greatly expanded the demand for air transport over the last two decades, the industry has experienced several major setbacks due to economic, security, and environmental concerns. Many of these impacts have been much more pronounced in some regions, such as North America and Europe while others, such as Asia-Pacific have not been as adversely affected. Accordingly, there is a clear need to examine these recent economic and geopolitical changes from a geographical perspective given the differentiated pattern of effects from global processes. Addressing this need, this volume opens with thematic chapters covering key topics such as the historical geographies, socio-cultural mobilities, environmental externalities, urban geographies, and sustainability of the global air transport industry, followed by regional analysis of the industry in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Greater Middle East and Africa as well as North America and Europe.

Aeronautical engineers concerned with the analysis of aircraft dynamics and the synthesis of aircraft flight control systems will find an indispensable tool in this analytical treatment of the subject. Approaching these two fields with the conviction that an understanding of either one can illuminate the other, the authors have summarized selected, interconnected techniques that facilitate a high level of insight into the essence of complex systems problems. These techniques are suitable for establishing nominal system designs, for forecasting off-nominal problems, and for diagnosing the root causes of problems that almost inevitably occur in the design process. A complete and self-contained work, the text discusses the early history of aircraft dynamics and control, mathematical models of linear system elements, feedback system analysis, vehicle equations of motion, longitudinal and lateral dynamics, and elementary longitudinal and lateral feedback control. The discussion concludes with such topics as the system design process, inputs and system performance assessment, and multi-loop flight control systems. Originally published in 1990.

Aircraft emissions currently account for ~3.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions. The number of passenger miles has increased by 5% annually despite 9/11, two wars and gloomy economic conditions. Since aircraft have no viable alternative to the internal combustion engine, improvements in aircraft efficiency and alternative fuel development become essential. This book comprehensively covers the relevant issues in green aviation. Environmental impacts, technology advances, public policy and economics are intricately linked to the pace of development that will be realized in the coming decades. Experts from NASA and industry review current technology development in green aviation that will carry the industry through 2025 and beyond. This includes increased efficiency through better propulsion systems, reduced drag airframes, advanced materials and operational changes. Clean combustion and emission control of noise, exhaust gases and particulates are also addressed through combustor design and the use of alternative fuels. Economic imperatives from aircraft lifetime and maintaince logistics dictate the drive for "drop-in" fuels, blending jet-grade and biofuel. New certification standards for such fuels are outlined. Life Cycle Assessments are used to evaluate worldwide biofuel approaches, highlighting that there is no single rational approach for sustainable buildup. In fact, unless local conditions are considered, the use of biofuels can create a net increase in environmental impact as a result of biofuel manufacturing processes. Governmental experts evaluate current and future regulations and their impact on green aviation. Sustainable approaches to biofuel development are discussed for locations around the globe, including the US, EU, Brazil, China and India.
