Noback, R. (author)A worst case gust shape has been derived for turbulence or gust patches, assuming only that the average spectrum of such patches is known. The maximum value of the response can be calculated quite easily. The result differs from the PSD-method. Some examples of worst case inputs and outputs are given, also for nonlinear systems.report 1993

Noback, N. (author)The Deterministic Power-Spectral-Density-method has been derived directly from the continuous P.S.D.-method. It can be regarded as a "translation" from the frequency domain to the space or time domain. The critical gust profile, giving maximum response, is obtained directly. The D.P.S.D.-method gives the same results as the continuous P.S.D.-...report 1992

Noback, R. (author)The Power Spectral Density (P.S.D.)-method is used to define design loads due to atmospheric turbulence. The design loads are calculated using linear transfer functions. These methods can not be used if the equations describing the behaviour of the aircraft are nonlinear. One method to define design loads for a nonlinear aircraft is by means of...report 1989

Buijsen, F.A. (author), Kassies, A. (author), Boerstoel, J.W. (author)The results of calculations of two- and three-dimensional flows on blocked grid domains consist of vast data collections with a simple, regular structure. The inspection of these results can only be done efficiently by graphical means, and by exploiting the regular structure of the data. There is a large similarity between the format of the...report 1988

Gerharz, J.J. (author)Fatigue life assessment of composite structures in fighter aircraft necessitates testing with both mechanical and environmental loading at both coupon and structural element size levels. Testing facilities to run such tests are now available but environmental fatigue testing is expensive and time consuming. An environmental fatigue loading...report 1987

van Gool, M.F.C. (author), Rickard, W.W. (author)Future transport aircraft will be different from to-day's in that they will be designed to be statically neutrally stable or even unstable to improve economics, while the stability will be provided by means of a fly-by-wire flight control system. Since this system will be flight critical it is necessary to develop a philosophy on the treatment...report 1984

de Jonge, J.B. (author)The present course book has been prepared as lecture notes for a summer course given at the Technical University of Bandung (ITB) in the summer of 1984. This course took place within the framework of the TTA-79 Technical Assistance Project as agreed between the Governments of Indonesia and the Netherlands. The subjects of the course are listed...report 1984

van der Lubbe, J.C.A. (author)Image quality plays an important role on the various levels of image processing. However, until now it lacks a survey of methods for the evaluation of image quality. With a grant of the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs (NIVR) a study was performed with respect to the quantification of image quality. Some results of this study are...report 1984

Noback, R. (author)Historical reviews of the discrete gust and the continious gust concept, in relation to the present requirements, are given in this report. A comparison is made between the discrete gust method and the power spectral density method on the basis of simple airplane models. No direct relation between the two methods exists. The main cause of the...report 1982

Mom, A.J.A. (author)This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, concerning operational conditions in gas turbines, the following topics are covered: - the magnitude of temperatures, temperature profiles, and stresses in various components - transient temperature conditions, occuring as a result of e.g. throttle setting changes and affecting thermal fatigue...report 1981

de Boer, W.P. (author), Mooij, H.A. (author), van Gool, M.F.C. (author)The application of Active Control Technology concepts and in particular the Relaxed Static Stability principle in certain categories of future transport aircraft will lead to the introduction of primary flight control systems incorporating full-time stability augmentation. For this category of transport aircraft adequate handling quality...report 1979

Boersma, G. (author), Sonnenschein, F.J. (author)Due to the finite stiffness of rotor- and gimbal-suspensions, a double gimballed momentum wheel will oscillate with high natural frequencies. The stability of these oscillations is studied, in order to obtain requirements for the stiffness of the suspensions and/or the gimbal inertia properties. From energy considerations, it is concluded that...report 1973

de Jonge, J.B. (author)The mission analysis concept for defining design loads is assessed and compared with the current design procedure based on Design Envelope Concepts. Although the Mission Analysis Concept permits design loads of equal probability of exceedance to be obtained for all components, this does not imply that a fixed failure probability for the aircraft...report 1972
