Aviation English: An Introduction, Peter H. Ragan
Aviation English: An Introduction, Peter H. Ragan
Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research
Aviation is a specialized, technology-based area that covers a broad range of activities, from esoteric analyses of compressible fluids, to selling tickets, to getting a clearance for takeoff. Accordingly, the language behavior inherent to such activities is diverse, often requiring specialized uses of English that are collectively labeled here as Aviation English. Aviation English figures prominently in most fields of aviation/aerospace education and practice, in regulatory and administrative agencies concerned with national and international commerce, norms and standards, and in academic, industrial, and government research and development. A greater awareness of the nature of Aviation English and of relevant resources …
Method For Producing Conductive Or Insulating Feedthroughs In A Substrate, Janet K. Lumpp, Susan D. Allen
Method For Producing Conductive Or Insulating Feedthroughs In A Substrate, Janet K. Lumpp, Susan D. Allen
Mechanical Engineering - Daytona Beach
A method for producing feedthroughs in a substrate having a front and back surface, wherein the substrate either has a hole or absorbs radiation at a given wavelength. The method includes selecting and intimately bonding a sheet to the back surface of the substrate with an adhesive which is absorptive at the given wavelength. If the substrate has a hole, an exposed area of the sheet is illuminated with laser radiation at the given wavelength and at a power level sufficient to ablate a portion of the sheet behind the exposed area, thereby creating the feedthrough in the substrate. If …

Burst Pressure Prediction Of Filament Wound Composite Pressure Vessels Using Acoustic Emission, Marcus Elwood Fisher
Burst Pressure Prediction Of Filament Wound Composite Pressure Vessels Using Acoustic Emission, Marcus Elwood Fisher
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
This research demonstrates how acoustic emission (AE) data from flaw growth activity can be used to predict burst pressures in filament wound composite pressure vessels. Acoustic emission data were taken during hydroproof testing for a set of eleven ASTM standard 5.75 inch diameter fiberglass/epoxy bottles. Amplitude distributions were created using only the AE data up to 25% of the expected burst pressure to simulate low level proof loadings (thereby avoiding damage to the bottles). The bottles were tested at three different temperatures -- 32°F, 70°F, and 110°F - and hydroproofed using two different pressurization schemes and two transducer configurations. Moreover, …

Analysis Of Small Airports Within A One Hundred And Twenty Mile Radius Of Medium And/Or Large Airports, Cheryl Mitchell Cunningham
Analysis Of Small Airports Within A One Hundred And Twenty Mile Radius Of Medium And/Or Large Airports, Cheryl Mitchell Cunningham
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
The purpose of this research is to investigate how income, population age, scheduled air carrier services, and distance between competing airports impact annual scheduled passenger enplanements for airports in smaller communities. Small airports located within a 120 miles radius of larger sized (medium or large) airports are considered to be within the "shadow" of larger airports with which they must compete for passenger enplanements.
Two methods were employed to evaluate shadow airports within a 120 mile radius of larger airports. First, an historical view, analyzing each of the airports with regard to schedule passenger enplanements, median disposable incomes, median ages, …

Detection Of Fatigue Crack Growth In A Simulated Aircraft Fuselage, Michael Lee Marsden
Detection Of Fatigue Crack Growth In A Simulated Aircraft Fuselage, Michael Lee Marsden
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
Acoustic emission (AE) nondestructive testing can detect fatigue cracks as they occur in complex structures. One use for AE has been in-flight detection of fatigue cracks in aircraft. The KC-135 aircraft were successfully monitored as early as 1979. The main problem with this and subsequent applications was an unfavorable signal to noise ratio, the key being to separate the small amplitude crack signals from the large amplitude ambient noise. This was accomplished here through the use of a Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM) neural network.
In order to simulate a fuselage undergoing fatigue, a pressure vessel was constructed from a 0.040 …
Numeric Keyboard Layouts: An Ergonomic Approach, Tricia S. Lowe
Numeric Keyboard Layouts: An Ergonomic Approach, Tricia S. Lowe
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
This study investigated the most effective method of numeric data entry, by means of a numeric keypad. The methods of numeric data entry were (a) two keypads with different numerical configurations, (b) two keypads with identical numerical configurations, and (c) one keypad with only a single numerical configuration. The two configurations utilized were the telephone and the calculator. An experimental design, with focus on the post-test only control group, was utilized. Sixty randomly selected students from the population attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University were assigned to five experimental groups.
The results indicated no significant differences: (a) for the number of errors …
A Methodology For The Prediction Of The Empennage In-Flight Loads Of A General Aviation Aircraft Using Backpropagation Neural Networks, Maciej Marciniak
A Methodology For The Prediction Of The Empennage In-Flight Loads Of A General Aviation Aircraft Using Backpropagation Neural Networks, Maciej Marciniak
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
Backpropagation neural networks have been used to predict strain resulting from the maneuver in-flight loads in the empennage structure of a Cessna 172P. The purpose of this research was to develop a methodology for the prediction of strain in the tail section of a general aviation aircraft and to determine the minimum set of sensors necessary to adequately train the neural networks. Linear accelerometer, angular accelerometer, rate gyro, and strain gage signals were collected in flight using DAQBook portable data acquisition system for dutch-roll, roll, sideslip left, sideslip right, stabilized g turn left, stabilized g turn right, and push-pull maneuvers …

Behavior Of A Hypersonic Nozzle Using Finite Rate Chemistry, Guillermo Jose Hernandez Paul
Behavior Of A Hypersonic Nozzle Using Finite Rate Chemistry, Guillermo Jose Hernandez Paul
Master's Theses - Daytona Beach
This study is concerned with the investigation of the behavior of a hypersonic nozzle with finite rate chemistry. First, equations describing steady one dimensional flow through a nozzle are presented. Solution methodologies for frozen, equilibrium and detailed chemistry flow are then discussed. A hydrogen-air chemical reaction mechanism, which is made up of fourteen different chemical species, and forty nine chemical reactions is used in this investigation for obtaining detailed chemistry flow solutions. The investigation also performs a sensitivity analysis on the reaction mechanism. Results from this may be used to eliminate a particular reaction from the chemical reaction mechanism that …
