A current EPSRC project, product introduction process: a simulation in the extended enterprise (PIPSEE) is discussed. PIPSEE attempts to improve the execution of the product introduction process (PIP) within an extended enterprise in the aerospace sector. The modus operandi for accomplishing this has been to develop process understanding amongst a core team, spanning four different companies, t...

In evaluating emerging technology, such as additive manufacturing, it is important to analyse the impact of manufacturing process on efficiency in an objective and quantifiable manner. This study deals with design simulation a bearing housing made from titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) using selective laser melting (SLM) technique. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method was used for assessing suitabil...

The LS-DYNA nonlinear finite element analysis software package developed for structural analysis by the Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC) is widely used by the automobile, aerospace, construction, military, manufacturing, and bioengineering industries. Fujitsu has been a partner with LSTC since 1996, supporting customers in Japan. A common application of LS-DYNA is car crash simu...

We present a case of gelastic seizures in a student naval aviator. He was noted to have uncontrollable fits of laughter on several occasions, but was not referred to his flight surgeon until he had a gelastic seizure while flying in formation, which jeopardized the safety of the flight. He had an aura consisting of lack of concentration, which was then followed by 10 s or less of hysterical lau...

Shape-memory actuators are used where a large force and stroke are required and thermodynamic efficiency is not essential. Since the discovery of shape memory in titanium-nickel, a number of inventions have been made having applications in medicine, aerospace, automotive, and consumer products. These devices range in size from meters to micrometers. Sales are now more than a hundred million USD...

In aerospace medicine, attention focuses on the effects of the loss of gravitational pull on the body. The more fundamental question involved is the basic physiology of anti-gravity mechanisms upon the body. From this viewpoint, the entire spectrum of the consequences of weightlessness may be seen. Then evidence affirming the broad concept of sensory deprivation in general, and anti-gravity dep...

Simulation-based education has become an integral part of and training in high-risk professions disciplines such as aviation, aerospace, military, nuclear power plants, medicine healthcare. In the last decade, medical simulation globally emerged a powerful instructional technique across various specialties disciplines. Despite its increasing popularity advantages, simulation-based (SBME) poses ...

NASA is investigating passive wireless sensor technology to reduce instrumentation mass and volume in ground testing, air flight, and space exploration applications. Vehicle health monitoring systems (VHMS) are desired on all aerospace programs to ensure the safety of the crew and the vehicles. Pervasive passive wireless sensor networks facilitate VHMS on aerospace vehicles. Future wireless sen...
