Overview and General Information:

The aim of this webinar is to deal with the main criticisms related to acoustic simulation and noise suppression in the aerospace sector. This objective is achieved by initially introducing and discussing the state-of-the-art methods and technologies that are relevant to this field. Subsequently, the fundamentals of analytical (Transfer Matrix Method) and numerical (Wave Finite Element Method) approaches are illustrated, which constitute powerful and efficient techniques to estimate the absorption and transmission properties of a sound package. Lastly, some innovative acoustic meta-material configurations are presented, based on a periodic pattern of porous unit cells, whose main homogenization models are defined and discussed too. These topics address different applications not only in the aerospace industry, but more generally in transportation (automotive, railway), energy and civil engineering sectors, where both weight and space, as well as vibroacoustic comfort, still remain as critical issues.

Learning Objectives:

• Aircraft noise: methods and technologies
• Transfer Matrix and Wave Finite Element Methods in acoustics
• Acoustic characterization of porous meta-materials

Virtual Reality applications have immense potential and applications in numerous smart manufacturing and advanced/precision manufacturing applications for design, prototyping, simulation, and training. Extended reality (XR) is a blanket term that is used to refer to multiple technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. In this webinar, many VR frameworks that were designed for additive manufacturing and smart manufacturing applications including specialized areas such as pharmaceutical manufacturing will be demonstrated.  For optimal user experience, careful consideration to the human sensory stimuli (visual, auditory, haptic, etc.) is inevitable. The various modes range from fully immersive to semi or partially immersive experiences as well as features that involve juxtaposing real world and virtual objects. Considering the wide range of options available, besides selecting the optimal mode (VR/AR/MR) for specific application and audience, it is vital to design and deliver XR experiences in manufacturing for optimal user experience with reduce cognitive load and higher engagement. This webinar will demonstrate the successfully implemented smart and digital manufacturing applications with due consideration to the above UI/HCI factors.

Learning Objectives:

The webinar  will discuss in detail various aspects including:

• Specialized digital and smart manufacturing applications
• Distinctions between VR, AR, MR, and desktop VR
• Common tools & techniques for VR/AR application development
• Hardware and software considerations and limitations

Target audience

Doctoral and post-graduate students, aerospace and defence industry professionals, and military officers.

Overview and General Information:

Modern combat aircraft design is governed by a careful balance of aerodynamic and propulsion performance, which are pushed to the limit. The blending of different specifications, often in opposition, is one of the most complex tasks in Aeronautical Engineering, especially with the requirement to integrate the now mandatory requirements of signature reduction requirements. Attendees will learn to quantify combat aircraft performance, and how different machines can be compared and relatively classified as superior/inferior. The short course will also explore common airframe solutions to achieve specific performances.

Learning Objectives:

• Kinematics performance analysis.
• Energy Manoeuvrability and Specific Excess Power theories.
• Tactical engagements analysis (Within Visual Range Engagemets).
• Introduction to combat aircraft aerodynamics.

Target audience

Doctoral and post-graduate students, aerospace and defence industry professionals, and military officers.

Spacecraft attitude equations are usually given by nonlinear equations. However, spacecraft attitude control laws are often designed using a linear approximation of those equations about an operating condition. Thus, the effectiveness of the control laws can be guaranteed only for attitude angles and angular velocities close to the operating condition. There are occasions when the spacecraft motion involves attitude angles and angular velocities that are far from the operating condition. For those motions, the full nonlinear attitude equations must be used for evaluating the effectiveness of the control laws. This course presents the design of attitude control laws for two typical spacecraft operations along with basic tools that are useful to validate the design with nonlinear attitude equations.

Learning objectives: Learning control laws for spacecraft detumbling and spacecraft attitude regulation. Learning mathematical tools for validating attitude control laws using nonlinear attitude equations.

Target audience: doctoral and master students, non-academic professionals.

Space instrumentation encounters challenges due to the hostile space environment, resource constraints, communication delays, and the demand for precision. Navigating extreme temperatures, radiation, and vacuum conditions necessitates robust designs. Additionally, stringent limitations on power, weight, and budget pose further hurdles, demanding optimal instrument performance within constrained parameters. Moreover, technological aspects and the need for precision and accuracy in measurements present ongoing challenges. Miniaturization enables the development of small, yet powerful instruments, while advanced imaging technologies enhance the resolution of captured data. For example, the development of the MarsTEM temperature sensor for Mars, the JANUS COver Mechanism (COM)  for JUICE mission and the new VENOM astrobiology experiment will be described and challenges presented.

Learning objectives: designing a space instrument: functionality, efficiency, testing and normative aspects.

Target audience: doctoral students, non-academic professionals, and undergraduate students.

Dates and time: 31 October – from 10:30 to 12:30
