Couverture de l’ouvrage Modern Flexible Multi-Body Dynamics Modeling Methodology for Flapping Wing Vehicles

Modern Flexible Multi-Body Dynamics Modeling Methodology for Flapping Wing Vehicles presents research on the implementation of a flexible multi-body dynamic representation of a flapping wing ornithopter that considers aero-elasticity. This effort brings advances in the understanding of flapping wing flight physics and dynamics that ultimately leads to an improvement in the performance of such flight vehicles, thus reaching their high performance potential. In using this model, it is necessary to reduce body accelerations and forces of an ornithopter vehicle, as well as to improve the aerodynamic performance and enhance flight kinematics and forces which are the design optimization objectives.

This book is a useful reference for postgraduates in mechanical engineering and related areas, as well as researchers in the field of multibody dynamics.

Graduates and researchers with an interest in body dynamics, aerodynamics, UAVs, and vibrations

Dr. Cornelia Altenbuchner is currently a Robotics Technologist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena California. Cornelia earned her PhD from the University of Maryland College Park in Aerospace Engineering, during which time she conducted research at the NASA Langley Research Center and the National Institute of Aerospace. She is originally from Austria and her primary contributions are technology development in the areas of flexible multi-body dynamics modeling and simulation, robotic systems, conceptual mission design, as well as dynamics and controls. Prior to joining the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in July 2016 she worked at the NASA Langley Research Center, where her primary projects involved lightweight Robotic Arms and associated systems, parts of which won the NASA Tech Briefs Invention of the year in 2015. Her work there also included the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), Modular Robotic In-Space Assembly and Bio-inspired autonomous flapping wing UAV’s. Her research has been featured by National Geographic and the British Broadcasting Company (BBC). At NASA JPL, she works on robotic systems, which includes dynamic, autonomy and conceptual aspects required to support missions to Europa and Mars 2020. She is a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Space Robotics and Automation Technical Committee and is an education and outreach enthusiast.
Dr. James E. Hubbard, Jr. is currently the Glenn L. Martin Institute Professor at the University of Maryland and resident in Hampton, Virginia. He has an engineering career that is distinguished by more than four decades of scholarship and innovation. He began his career in 1971 as an engineering officer in the U.S. Merchant Marine serving in Vietnam. At the age of 19 qualified for and received an Unlimited Horsepower, steam, and diesel engine Marine Engineering operator’s license from the U.S. Coast Guard and was one the youngest to get such an honor. He was also
  • Uses Lagrange equations of motion in terms of a generalized coordinate vector of the rigid and flexible bodies in order to model the flexible multi-body system
  • Provides flight verification data and flight physics of highly flexible ornithoptic vehicles
  • Includes an online companion site with files/codes used in application examples
