Material Selection for Mechanical Structures of Space Borne Payloads
Abstract: Space borne payloads consist of several structures to fulfill its functions in space operation. Among these structures, mechanical structure serves as a backbone of whole payload. Hence mechanical structure needs to have very high rigidity and strength. For space applications, materials to be used in mechanical structures need to be selected very carefully. Every gram of added weight increases few liters of fuel consumption and hence costs extra money for …

Numerical Analysis over a Low Reynolds Number 3D Wing
Abstract: A micro air vehicle (MAV) is defined as class of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) having a linear dimension of less than 15 cm and a mass of less than 100 g with flight speeds of 6 to 12 m/sec. MAVs fall within a Reynolds number (Re) range of 50,000 and 120,000, in which many causes of unsteady aerodynamic effects are not fully understood. The research field of low Reynolds number …
