01 Jan 1997TL;DR: A Genetic Algorithm has been applied to optimize a transonic wing shape for generic transport aircraft and indicates that GA has found a best feasible solution in the given design constraints.
Abstract: A Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been applied to optimize a transonic wing shape for generic transport aircraft. A threedimensional compressible Navier-Stokes (N-S) solver is used to evaluate aerodynamic performance. The N-S evaluation is parallelized on Numerical Wind Tunnel (NWT) at National Aerospace Laboratory in Japan, a parallel vector machine with 166 processing elements. Designed wings show a tradeoff between an increase of the airfoil thickness driven by a structural constraint and a reduction of the wave drag produced by a shock wave. The present result indicates that GA has found a best feasible solution in the given design constraints.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of fuel to oxidizer molar ratios (F/O = 0.5-2.0) on luminescence properties is explored, and it is shown that higher F/O inhibits Eu3+ and promotes Eu2+ formation, which improves the quality of the blue phosphor.

TL;DR: An online structural health monitoring (SHM) system consisting of well-designed sensor networks incorporated in the structure along with necessary hardware and software can provide information about the structure, thereby leading to reporting of flaws or damages in real time as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Aircraft industry is continually striving towards reducing the acquisition, operation and maintenance costs. Usage of advanced composite materials in primary aircraft structures have resulted in significant weight savings owing to their higher specific strength and specific stiffness. Composite structures, in spite of their inherent advantages, are prone to various damages. To detect and repair various structural damages that can occur during the service life of the aircraft, a thorough inspection schedule is implemented through conventional visual and Non Destructive Evaluation methods. Such scheduled inspections lead to considerable increase in maintenance cost & down-time of the aircraft. An online structural health monitoring (SHM) system consisting of well-designed sensor networks incorporated in the structure along with necessary hardware and software can provide information about the structure, thereby leading to reporting of flaws or damages in real time. Such a system can provide inputs for condition based maintenance which can result in reduced maintenance cost. This paper presents the work carried out at CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories towards developing a flight-worthy SHM system and its demonstration on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Sensor selection, characterization, instrumentation design, algorithm development towards damage detection & load estimation at lab level and implementation of the technology on a UAV are discussed in this paper.
