TL;DR: In this article, the authors present in one volume the methodologies behind aircraft design, covering the components and the issues affected by design procedures, and explain the design process in a holistic manner to emphasise the integration of individual components into the overall design.
Abstract: Presenting in one volume the methodologies behind aircraft design, this book covers the components and the issues affected by design procedures. The basic topics that are essential to the process, such as aerodynamics, flight stability and control, aero-structure, and aircraft performance are reviewed in various chapters where required. Based on these fundamentals and design requirements, the author explains the design process in a holistic manner to emphasise the integration of the individual components into the overall design. Throughout the book the various design options are considered and weighed against each other, to give readers a practical understanding of the process overall.

TL;DR: In this article, the principles of off-road vehicle and terrain engineering are discussed, as well as the latest developments in the field, including the latest computer-aided methods employed in the development of new generation of high-mobility offroad vehicles in Europe, North America and Asia.
Abstract: This book will be of great interest to any professional engineer or automotive engineering student working on off-road vehicles. Reflecting the increase in off-road vehicle production and development - recreational, agricultural, construction, military - this book equips readers with all of the necessary knowledge to successfully design and model off-road vehicle systems, and provides a comprehensive introduction to terramechanics, the mechanics of vehicle/terrain interaction. This is the only book to cover the principles of off-road vehicle and terrain engineering, a rapidly developing sector that includes SUVs, tractors and agricultural vehicles, military vehicles, and construction equipment. It covers the latest developments in the field, including the latest computer-aided methods employed in the development of new generation of high-mobility off-road vehicles in Europe, North America and Asia. This work is ideal for professional reference and course reference by students, with new detailed worked design examples, case studies, and accompanying problems and solutions.

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of out-of-plane wrinkling in a quasi-isotropic, multilayer unidirectional prepreg over a double curved geometry is shown.
Abstract: A general problem when forming quasi-isotropic, multilayer unidirectional (UD) prepreg over a double curved geometry is out-of-plane wrinkling. The presented study aims to show the existence of com ...
