Analysis of Flow around Conical, Ogive Nose Cones in Hypersonic Space Shuttle
Abstract: Hypersonic flow is a high Mach number regime used to distinguish flow fields, phenomena and problems appearing at flight speed far greater than the speed of sound. In high speed flows shock waves are formed during the flow. High speed flow have high energy level, thus dissipate large amount of heat, resulting in high temperatures, which may even burn the surface. The nose cone should be built with an outer …

Review on Fatigue Analysis of Mechanical Structures Made Up of Composite Materials
Abstract: Composite materials have been widely used in aerospace, marine applications etc. because of their low density and high strength property. Aircraft wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers of an aircraft, blades of the wind turbines are manufactured using composite materials. Fatigue occurs when a material is subjected to repeated loading and unloading. If the loads are above a certain threshold, microscopic cracks will begin to form at the surface. In this …

Research and Industrial Insight: Space Science and Technology
Abstract: Space Science is the discipline of science that relates to or majorly deals with the study of everything in outer space. It is the phenomena occurring in the upper atmosphere, in space, or on celestial bodies. This has sometimes been called astronomy, but recently astronomy has come to be regarded as a division of broader space science, which has grown to include other cognate fields, such as studying issues related …

Integrated Geospatial Technology for Appraising Surface Temperature and Forest Biomass in Context to Conducive Tiger Habitats in Sariska Wildlife Reserve, India
Abstract: Sariska Wildlife Reserve of Rajasthan (India) is an excellent wildlife habitat, but due to improper conservation, anthropogenic activities and human-wildlife conflicts, the number of tigers started dwindling in the middle 1990s and completely disappeared during 2005. The forest temperature and forest biomass are vital parameters in several forest-related issues and has an apparent relationship to wildlife habitat and conservation strategies. Satellite remote sensing data being the best possible way for …
