4.9/5 (9620 ratings)

Description:What’s Inside?I wrote this introduction for the novice, who wants to acquire a firm foundation of Tensor Flight Dynamics . The book has four chapters. Geometry. How to model the position and orientation of flight vehicles with tensors, which then are converted to matrices via coordinate systems for computation.Sections :Vectors Are Tensors of Rank OneMultiplying Tensors of Rank OneFrames and Coordinate Systems Kinematics. Now time enters our discussion. A new time derivative yields linear and angular velocities and accelerations independent of coordinate systems.Sections :Rotational Time DerivativeEuler Transformation of FramesAttitude Determination Point-Mass Dynamics. We are ready to fly rockets and aircraft by just tracking their center-of-mass.Sections :Newton’s LawVehicles Requiring an Inertial Reference FrameVehicles that Can Use Earth as Reference FrameRigid Body Dynamics. Finally, we study the full translational and attitude dynamics of rockets and aircraft.Sections :Newton’s and Euler’s LawsMissiles and Rockets – Rotational SymmetryAircraft – Planar SymmetryThe twelve sections – each with problems and solutions – can be conquered in one semester. The AuthorPeter H. Zipfel is a graduate of the University Stuttgart, Germany, and the Catholic University of America with a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. He founded Modeling and Simulation Technologies, which advises and instructs in the functional integration of aerospace systems using computer simulations. For 35 years he taught courses in modeling and simulation, guidance and control, and flight dynamics at the University of Florida; and over the span of 50 years he created aerospace simulations of helicopters, missiles, aircraft, and hypersonic vehicles for the German Helicopter Institute, the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Air Force. He is an AIAA Associate Fellow and an internationally recognized short course instructor.
