The aim of the collaborative European research project ‘Simulation of UPset Recovery in Aviation’ (SUPRA) is to develop breakthrough simulator technologies for teaching pilots to detect and recover from adverse flight upsets that could lead to unusual attitudes and lossof-control. In the project, the high-performance research simulator DESDEMONA is utilized, which integrates a flight simulator ...

Magnetically impelled arc butt (MIAB) welding is a solid-state technique of that utilizes the heating effect high-speed rotating for formation weld. The process exhibits lower time and power consumption compared to conventional processes tube–tube joining. However, available research reports on MIAB Mild Steel (MS)1018 are still inadequate lack details required extending applications this proce...

Titanium alloy is important for the aerospace industry because of its high specific strength as well excellent anti-corrosion and anti-oxidative properties. In this paper, a three-dimensional thermo-mechanical coupled simulation was carried out to predict formation characteristics TC4 titanium self-locking nut during upset forging process. The stability upset-forged material analyzed, influence...
