MAE 204. Engineering Mechanics I Statics. 3 Credits. Introduction to mechanical engineering problems and their solutions through the study of statics of particles and rigid bodies. Emphasis will be placed on the relationship of the static loads with the mechanical properties of the materials being considered. Introduction to the concepts of stress and strain and internal forces as applied to st...

The military and aerospace electronics industries are experiencing an ever increasing demand for the use of plastic encapsulated microcircuits and semiconductors. While plastic encapsulated microcircuits and semiconductors offer a number of inherent advantages over hermetically sealed ceramic packages, uncontrolled use can introduce a number of technical risks in military and aerospace equipmen...

HIJOGETT, CLAYTON. Combustion processes in the aerospace environment. Aerospace Med. 40(11) :1176-1180. 1969. The aerospace environment introduces new and enhanced fire hazards because the special atmosphere employed may increase the frequency and intensity of fires, because the confinement associated with aerospace systems adversely affects the dynamics of fire development and control, and bec...

Modern Aerospace systems are cyber-physical, comprised of physical components but commanded and controlled by “cyber” (computing and communication) elements. It is widely acknowledged that codesign across cyber and physical elements will provide a better-performing holistic system, but few of today’s engineers have adequate preparation to model, optimize, and simulate both. Even working in team...

Emerging Semantic Web technology such as the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) will support advanced semantic interoperability in the next generation of aerospace architectures. The basic idea of DAML is to mark up artifacts (e.g., documents, sensors, databases, legacy software) so that software agents can interpret and reason with the information. DAML will support the representation of ontol...

Microelectronics processing technology spawned a new area of science and engineering exemplified by the acronyms MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems). Microengineering is a multidisciplinary investigation of the physics and science of the submillimeter scale world and the application of this understanding to develop mass-producible microdevices and syst...
