This course is an introduction to the various applications, aerodynamics and design rules of parachute systems. It is intended for engineering graduate students and professional engineers. The topics include: review of current use in aviation and space; parachute configurations and components; parachute testing techniques and facilities; parachute aerodynamics and flight dynamics; parachute inflation; gliding parachutes; non-terrestrial applications; parachute system design.Prerequisites: Undergraduate Fluid Dynamics, Aerodynamics.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to analytical and numerical methods applicable to airfoils and wings. Student will be able to model two- and three-dimensional flows. Student will understand how to estimate lift and drag of wings using analytically and numerically methods. Students will have an understanding of high-lift systems and of rotor aerodynamics. Prerequisites: Incompressible Flows, Programming
-
3.00 Credits
Overview of various types of simulators; introduction to major software and hardware components of state-of-the-art simulators; development of computer models of aircraft systems and performance characteristics and interfacing the models with each other to achieve high-fidelity, real time aircraft simulation. Field trips to area flight simulation facilities. Use of, and projects in, reconfigurable flight simulator. Prerequisites: Programming skills, Undergraduate Stability and Control
-
3.00 Credits
Fiber and resin systems, Composite material properties and characterization, lamina, Laminate, Micro-mechanics, Stress analysis of lamina and laminate, Design of laminate, Failure theories, and Manufacturing of laminate. Prerequisites: Undergraduate Mechanics of Solids. (cross listed with MENG 533)
-
3.00 Credits
Space systems are designed to operate in the presence of multiple failures. And yet, occasionally, systems will still fail spectacularly. Reasons for failure include operator error, incorrect design, and manufacturing defects. The odds of these failures occurring can be significantly reduced through good systems engineering practice. But, in some cases, the very systems engineering practices themselves directly contribute to the failure. This course will introduce the fundamentals of good systems engineering practice. A series of case studies in failures (rockets, spacecraft, rovers, etc.) will be used to illustrate these principles and the new vulnerabilities they introduce. Prerequisite: Undergraduate Astrodynamics, Space Mission Analysis and Design
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to system theory, state variables and state space description to dynamic systems, linear vector space and dependence. Jordan canonical forms, Cayley-Hamilton theorem, system stability, controllability and observability, relation between state-space and transfer function models. A brief introduction to Nonlinear systems, Lyapunov stability theory will be provided. This course will give the basic knowledge for more advanced control courses, such as nonlinear control, robust control, optimal control, adaptive control. Prerequisite: Analysis of Linear Control Systems. (Cross listed with MENG 556)
-
3.00 Credits
Working in teams, students will perform a complete “Phase A” study of a proposed space mission, culminating in an overall system description, preliminary design and subsystem-level requirements, as well as a feasibility study for developing this mission at St Louis University. The proposed mission will relate to near-term research interests of the instructor and other faculty with the intent of developing a real spacecraft. Students will be responsible for developing requirements and performing trade studies, preliminary sizing and mission analysis for all necessary subsystems (structures, power, thermal control, communications, command & data handling, attitude control, and/or navigation). Where possible, hardware prototypes and simulations will be created. Students will learn through lecture, individual research, and team projects. Prerequisite: AENG 553
-
