The concept of thrust-based control without the employment thrust-vectoring (TVC), already introduced in a previous work by authors, is further developed conjunction with an appropriate suite, tasked both artificial stabilization and beam-tracking navigation functions. In paper, fully non-linear mathematical model employed for testing controllers virtual environment outlined. Then comparative a...

bending analysis of multilayer graphene sheets (mlgss) subjected to non-uniform shear and normal tractions is presented. the constitutive relations are considered to be non-classical based on nonlocal theory of elasticity. based on the differential transformation method, numerical illustrations are carried out for circular and annular geometries. the effects of nano scale parameter, radius of c...

As proposed spacecraft and their associated thrusters have become smaller, technology has been developed to meet the demand for performance measurements for the extremely low force levels produced. For such thrusters, it is also desirable to measure the mass changes resulting from the utilization of propellant associated with either the steady state thrust or transient impulses. A thrust stand ...

Emissions inventory calculations for airports, using standard emissions inventory reporting methods, are inflated due an assumption of use of maximum takeoff thrust. To enhance the operational life of jet engines and reduce fuel burn, airlines frequently use reduced thrust (i.e. Derated or Flex Temperature thrust) for the takeoff procedure. Without access to internal airline “load sheet” paperw...

This article presents the theory and operation of a null-type, inverted pendulum thrust stand. The thrust stand design supports thrusters having a total mass up to 250 kg and measures thrust over a range of 1 mN to 5 N. The design uses a conventional inverted pendulum to increase sensitivity, coupled with a null-type feature to eliminate thrust alignment error due to deflection of thrust. The t...

binaloud mountains formed during collision of iran and turan plate in the late triassic time and caused shortening of the sedimentary cover because of cimmerian and alpine orogeny. the thrust sheets with different generations formed as a results of the binalood and alborz fold- thrust belts. northeast of iran that was already south coast of the divergent margin of the paleothetys ocean at this ...

The Semail Thrust in the Oman-UAE mountains is mapped along base of Ophiolite, a 10–15 km thick sequence Cenomanian oceanic crust and upper mantle emplaced from NE to SW onto previously passive, Mid-Permian continental margin Oman. juxtaposition ophiolite with range different rock types sourced depths suggest complex tectonic history for this major fault shear zone. Here we summarize previous w...

Based on the interpretation of 2D seismic profiles integrated with surface geological investigations, a mechanism responsible for formation large scale normal fault zone has been proposed. The fault, here referred to as Rycerka Fault, predominantly dip-slip component detachment located at base Carpathian units. developed due an anticlinal stack within Dukla Unit overlain by Magura Units. Stacki...

We present a kinematic model for the Himalayan thrust belt that satisfies structural and metamorphic data and explains recently reported late Miocene–Pliocene geochronologic and thermochronologic ages from rocks in the Main Central thrust zone in central Nepal. At its current exposure level, the Main Central thrust juxtaposes a hanging-wall flat in Greater Himalayan rocks with a footwall flat i...

Centrifuge analog modeling incorporating thickness variations of décollement and overlying sedimentary cover is used to study thrust-wedge evolution on salt-detached contractional systems involving tapered cover. From simpler, layer-cake 3D décollement-cover sequences, our models constrain wedge evolution: a more advanced front, where the thicker, promotes differential frontal translation trigg...
