Abstract

"Aeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement provides a comprehensive introduction to applying aerodynamic principles to architectural design. It presents a challenge to architects and architectural engineers to give shape to the wind and express its influence on architectural form. The wind pushes and pulls on our buildings, infiltrates and exfiltrates through cracks and openings, and lifts roofs during storm events. It can also offer opportunities for resource conservation through natural ventilation or a biophilic connection between indoors and out. This book provides basic concepts in fluid mechanics such as materials, forces, equilibrium, pressure and hydrostatics, introduces the reader to the concept of airflow, and provides strategies for designing for wind resistance, especially in preventing uplift. Natural ventilation and forced airflow are explored using examples such as Thomas Herzog's Hall 26 in Hanover, RWE Ag building in Essen Germany, and the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas. Finally, issues of wind and airflow measurement are addressed. A reference for students and practitioners of architecture and architectural engineering, this book is richly illustrated, and presents complex concepts of aerodynamic engineering in easy-to understand language. It prepares the architect or architectural engineer to design buildings that are visually expressive of a dialogue between wind and built form" [Publisher.]

Abstract

"Flight Mechanics Modelling and Analysis comprehensively covers flight mechanics and flight dynamics using a systems approach. The book focuses on applied mathematics and control theory in its discussion of flight mechanics to build a strong foundation for solving design and control problems in the areas of flight simulation and flight data analysis. The second edition has been expanded to include two new chapters and coverage of aeroservoelastic topics and engineering mechanics, presenting more concepts of flight control and aircraft parameter estimation. The book is intended for senior undergraduate aerospace students taking Aircraft Mechanics, Flight Dynamics & Controls, and Flight Mechanics courses. It will also be of interest to research students and R&D project-scientists of the same disciplines. Including end-of-chapter exercises and illustrative examples with a MATLAB® based approach, the book also includes a Solutions Manual and Figure Slides for adopting instructors. Features : covers flight mechanics, flight simulation, flight testing, flight control, and aeroservoelasticity. Features artificial neural network- and fuzzy logic-based aspects in modelling and analysis of flight mechanics systems : aircraft parameter estimation, and reconfiguration of control. Focuses on a systems-based approach. Includes two new chapters, numerical simulation examples with MATLAB® based implementations, and end-of-chapter exercises. Includes a Solutions Manual and Figure Slides for adopting instructors"--
