Vibration of Periodic Structures introduces the fundamentals of periodic structure theory by considering the simplest model – wave propagation in an infinitely long periodic spring-mass system. It then shows how the knowledge of the stop and pass bands can be utilized to find the natural frequency distribution in a finite periodic structure. The basic concepts are further extended to wave propagation in infinitely long periodically supported beams and plates; distribution of natural frequencies of a similar structure of finite length; vibration of skin-stringer structures; and structuralacoustic properties of a section of an aircraft fuselage, based on a combination of the finite element method and the periodic structure theory, in a highly cost-effective manner.This book is a valuable resource of information for practicing engineers in various industries, e.g., civil, mechanical, or aerospace engineering, dealing with vibration of structures with periodic properties, including prediction of supersonic flutter characteristics of aerospace structures. It will also prove to be a beneficial reference for researchers involved with wave propagation in metamaterials and phononic devices.“Readers who have wanted a clear and connected account of vibration of periodic structures will find this treatment accessible and stimulating and will want to add this volume to their personal or institutional library.” – Prof. Earl Dowell, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA

Morphing Wings Technologies: Large Commercial Aircraft and Civil Helicopters offers a fresh look at current research on morphing aircraft, including industry design, real manufactured prototypes and certification. This is an invaluable reference for students in the aeronautics and aerospace fields who need an introduction to the morphing discipline, as well as senior professionals seeking exposure to morphing potentialities. Practical applications of morphing devices are presented—from the challenge of conceptual design incorporating both structural and aerodynamic studies, to the most promising and potentially flyable solutions aimed at improving the performance of commercial aircraft and UAVs. Morphing aircraft are multi-role aircraft that change their external shape substantially to adapt to a changing mission environment during flight. The book consists of eight sections as well as an appendix which contains both updates on main systems evolution (skin, structure, actuator, sensor, and control systems) and a survey on the most significant achievements of integrated systems for large commercial aircraft.

Astronautics Year: An International Astronautical and Military Space/Missile Review of 1964 documents in detail the international astronautical and military space/missile activities conducted in 1964. This book focuses on two major space achievements—RANGER 7 and VOSKHOD I. RANGER 7 was a spectacular achievement demonstrated by Jet Propulsion Laboratory, while VOSKHOD I was claimed as the biggest rocket in existence that was launched while carrying two retro-rocket systems. This compilation also provides brief notes on a number of space/missile projects and programs underway during 1964, such as the AADS-70, ADOBE, AIM-47A, and APOLLO. A table containing a fully comprehensive listing of all announced spacecraft launch attempts made during the same year are likewise described. This text is recommended for researchers and specialists concerned with aeronautics and aerospace research.
