This book presents the most serious and comprehensive study, by far, of American public perceptions about the meaning of space exploration, analyzing vast troves of questionnaire data collected by many researchers and polling firms over a span of six decades and anchored in influential social science theories. It doesn't simply report the percentages who held various opinions, but employs sophisticated statistical techniques to answer profound questions and achieve fresh discoveries. Both the Bush and the Obama administrations have cut back severely on fundamental research in space science and engineering. Understanding better what space exploration means for citizens can contribute to charting a feasible but progressive course. Since the end of the Space Race between the US and the USSR, social scientists have almost completely ignored space exploration as a topic for serious analysis and this book seeks to revive that kind of contribution. The author communicates the insights in a lucid style, not only intelligible but interesting to readers from a variety of backgrounds.

Businesses require three optimized core components to run effectively: strategy, people, and branding. This book uses Lean principles along with graphics, charts, and tables to explain these three important components for every business. The book presents a series of visual frameworks that allow readers to readily apply the format with little or no difficulty. With the aid of many examples, illustrations, tables and graphics, the book details methods for transforming any business into a more effective business. The concepts in this book come from the visual method of delivery using Lean principles.

A substantially updated second edition of this established text offering comprehensive coverage of aeroelasticity and dynamics loads. Introduction to Aircraft Aeroelasticity and Loads, 2nd Edition is a substantially updated new edition offering comprehensive coverage of aeroelasticity and dynamics loads. It introduces the reader to the main principles involved in a wide range of aeroelasticity and loads topics. The book begins by reviewing the underlying disciplines of vibrations, aerodynamics, loads and control, and goes on to describe simplified models to illustrate aeroelastic behaviour and aircraft response before introducing more advanced methodologies. Finally, it explains how industrial certification requirements for aeroelasticity and loads may be met and relates these to the earlier theoretical approaches used. In this new edition, there are major revisions to the chapters on flutter and aeroservoelasticity and significant updates and reorganisation of the finite element chapters. This book is now accompanied by a website containing a solutions manual and MATLAB and SIMULINK programs. A substantially updated second edition of this established text offering comprehensive coverage of aeroelasticity and dynamics loads. Uses a unified simple aeroelastic model throughout the book. Major revisions to flutter and aeroservoelasticity chapters for ease of reference. Significant updates and reorganisation of chapters on finite elements Updates certification requirements. Accompanied by a website containing a solutions manual and MATLAB and SIMULINK programs that relate to the models used. Suitable textbook for graduate courses on aeroelasticity.

Environmental conditions and pressurized spacesuits expose astronauts to problems of fatigue during lengthy extravehicular activities, with adverse impacts especially on the dexterity, force and endurance of the hands and arms. A state-of-the-art exploration in the field of hand exoskeletons revealed that available products are unsuitable for space applications because of their bulkiness and mass. This book proposes a novel approach to the development of hand exoskeletons, based on an innovative soft robotics concept that relies on the exploitation of electroactive polymers operating as sensors and actuators, on a combination of electromyography and mechanomyography for detection of the users will and on neural networks for control. The result is a design that should enhance astronauts performance during extravehicular activities. In summary, the advantages of the described approach are a low-weight, high-flexibility exoskeleton that allows for dexterity and compliance with the users will.

The need for highly reliable and stable maneuvers for unmanned rotorcrafts (URs) class of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) has increased morbidly for critical situations in real-time search-and-rescue operations for fast situational awareness (SA). A rotorcraft is a heavier-than-air flying machine that obtains its lift from rotors. SA is simply being aware of what is going on around you. This book provides basic approaches for the modeling and simulation of control systems on the basis of equations of motion for various types of models of rotorcrafts (miniature helicopter, intermediate helicopter, coaxial rotor/ducted fan mini-UAV, trirotor mini-UAV, vectored thrust mini-UAV, quadrotor mini-UAV, X4-flyer mini-UAV, eight-rotor mini-UAV) with emphasis on the modeling and simulation of realistic dynamics for fast SA. The effectiveness of the proposed research technique has been verified in field of flight simulation tests for chosen control models of the URs using software package Simulink. From the simulation results it can be seen that the UR models demonstrated an advantage in achieving good maneuverability in controlled flight during missions and good performance for fast stabilization of engines during maneuvers, consequently, fast SA with economy in energy of batteries can be asserted during missions, and the duration of missions can be longer. The principal audiences for this book are faculty members, practitioners, researchers, and graduate and postgraduate students.

Design and Development of Multi-Lane Smart Electromechanical Actuators presents the design of electromechanical actuators in two types of architectures, namely, Torque Summed Architecture (TSA) and Velocity Summed Architecture, (VSA). It examines them in:* Hardware redundancy, where the architecture is made up of 3 or 4 lanes.* Digital Math Model redundancy, where a more compact two lanes architectures will be presented.The book starts with the very basic concepts and introduces the design process logically so that an understanding of the smart multi-lane systems that drive an aileron on an aircraft system is developed. Readers will be able to identify and meet design specs, before and after failures. To aid understanding it also includes simulation tests for various flight cases and aircraft speeds.This book will give readers the necessary theoretical background to design smart multilane electromechanical actuation systems and will provide a general methodology that engineers (electrical, mechanical, mechatronics, aerospace or chemical) will find useful. It will be invaluable for multi-disciplinary engineers.
