Description
Modeling Flight Dynamics with Tensors Course. Modeling Tensor Flight Dynamics Course. Join me and take your knowledge of tensor flight dynamics to the next level. After some historical background and definitions, tensor algebra, along with two kinematic pillars, the rotational time derivative and the Euler transform, lays the foundation for the tensor treatment of flight dynamics. Newton’s second law, expressed as a constant tensor independent of the coordinate system, establishes the equations of motion of three, five, and six degrees of freedom. Euler’s law provides the equations of motion and insight into the special gyrodynamic behavior experienced by pilots flying single-engine aircraft. While the introductory treatment of tensor flight dynamics begins with rigid bodies, here I apply the dynamical laws at an advanced level, first to particles and then assembling them into rigid bodies. My perturbation technique is of great importance to engineers because it leads to linear equations of state. This tensor approach allows the formulation of the perturbation equations of motion not only for steady flight but also for unsteady reference flight. And the extension of aerodynamic derivatives to higher orders offers the possibility of dealing with nonlinear aerodynamic phenomena. The exercise is completed by solving three problems after each lecture. Detailed solutions are included for review and as an aid. The content of this course is based on my 15 years of graduate lectures at the University of Florida.
