Preliminary Structural Design for a Hypersonic UAV

The design and development of a small unmanned aerial vehicle is proposed in order to provide more accurate hypersonic flight data. The outcomes could improve the current shortage of hypersonic flight data and serve to understand and predict how test conditions may be different from actual test flight. Furthermore, the response of the structure...

Feasibility study on fiber reinforced polymer cylindrical truss bridges for heavy traffic

Considering the recent increase in the use of fiber reinforced polymers in the civil engineering industry in general and in the bridge engineering industry in particular, as well as the recently more and more applied cylindrical truss bridge type, this research focuses on the question whether it is possible to combine fiber reinforced polymers...
