International space station mechanism contact simulation

To provide an overview of how the solid‐to‐solid contact force equation in MSC.ADAMS can be used to reduce contact model development, minimize the probability of introducing an…

Feedforward neural network based non‐linear dynamic modelling of a TRMS using RPROP algorithm

To develop a non‐linear modelling technique for modern air vehicles with an application to a twin rotor multi‐input‐multi‐output system (TRMS) which resembles the dynamics of a…

Kalman filter and neural network‐based icing identification applied to A340 aircraft dynamics

The purpose of this paper is to maintain safe flight and to improve existing deicing (in‐flight removal of ice) and anti‐icing (prevention of ice accretion) systems under…

Investigation of a 3D non‐contact measurement based blade repair integration system

The aim of the paper is to provide an economically viable solution for the blade repair process. There is a continual increase in the repair market, which requires an increased…
