Inertial sensor arrays present the possibility of improved and extended sensing capabilities
as compared to customary inertial sensor setups. Inertial sensor arrays have been studied …

The employability of photonics technology in the modern era's highly demanding and
sophisticated domain of aerospace and submarines has been an appealing challenge for …

We report on the use of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors integrated onto an aircraft
landing gear for remote and real-time load monitoring. Several FBGs strain sensors, both in …

A low cost, high precision hollow structure MEMS IMU has been developed to measure the
roll angular rate of a high-spinning projectile. The hollow MEMS IMU is realized by …

In this document, a review about snake aerial manipulators is presented. The most common
mechatronical implications found in their design are described. The text is presented to the …

Fuel management is an important issue in aviation for safety and efficiency reasons. This
work develops an alternative solution based on an artificial intelligent technique to the fuel …

This study aimed at analysing the influence of the position of the centre of gravity variability
and the movement velocity on the demand for a torque and work time coverage of a …

Previous gyro-free inertial measurement units (GF-IMU) usually suffered from installation
errors induced by mutual placements and mutual sensing directions of accelerometers, and …

Abstract A multi-scaled W&B demonstrator able of reproducing the same loading condition
of an aircraft as a whole is designed, manufactured and experimentally characterized. Two …

In vertical cold launch the missile starts without the function of the main engine. Over the
launcher, the attitude of the missile is controlled by a set of lateral thrusters. However, a …
