ISBN: 0470018402 ISBN-13: 9780470018408 Publisher: Wiley OUR PRICE: $123.45 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: May 2009 Annotation: This book is a comprehensive reference on deriving and developing computational models from basic physical & mathematical principles, giving the reader sufficient information to be able to represent the basic architecture of air vehicles and their embedded systems and to then be able to apply those models in analysis and simulation. It takes into account the multi-disciplinary nature of aerospace products and the integrated nature of the models needed to represent them. This book represents a development of the existing Aerospace series titles from Moir and Seabridge, as the author intends to draw on some of the same examples used in previous works and dissect them mathematically - thus giving a degree of commonality with earlier books in the Series. More high level, detailed mathematics will be allocated to the appendices in order to render the main body of the material digestible as an introductory level text. |

| Publisher Description: This first volume of Computational Modelling of Aircraft and the Environment provides a comprehensive guide to the derivation of computational models from basic physical & mathematical principles, giving the reader sufficient information to be able to represent the basic architecture of the synthetic environment. Highly relevant to practitioners, it takes into account the multi-disciplinary nature of the aerospace environment and the integrated nature of the models needed to represent it. Coupled with the forthcoming Volume 2: Aircraft Models and Flight Dynamics it represents a complete reference to the modelling and simulation of aircraft and the environment. All major principles with this book are demonstrated using MATLAB and the detailed mathematics is developed progressively and fully within the context of each individual topic area, thereby rendering the comprehensive body of material digestible as an introductory level text. The author has drawn from his experience as a modelling and simulation specialist with BAE SYSTEMS along with his more recent academic career to create a resource that will appeal to and benefit senior/graduate students and industry practitioners alike. |
