This is a shortened version of Dr. CJ Reddy’s article in 2016 Aerospace Testing. Read the full version with case study here. As communications grow, there are increasingly more sophisticated antenna systems with associated electronics aboard aircrafts. Advances in electromagnetic … Read More
There has long been a debate in engineering, whether incremental improvement or new design is better for approaching a project. The incremental approach is often less expensive, less risky, and faster, which are all attributes valued by business. On the … Read More
Most traditional design processes start with an idea that a designer drafts into a product design. The designer submits the product design to an engineer who analyzes it, makes recommendations, and then sends it back to the designer for another … Read More
The Design Process: Design, Validation and the Optimization Paradigm The production of any man-made object or system is the result of numerous iterations that refine the design from the initial concept to its final form. These iterations essentially consist of … Read More
The More Things Change… A few years ago, I read the complete papers of Wilbur and Orville Wright that included nearly every note, letter, and calculation they performed over the many years of developing their first and subsequent flying machines. … Read More
In the previous blog post, we introduced the topic of injection molding process simulation and the influence of the manufacturing process on structural analysis. The strength and stiffness of a part can be inaccurately represented if the manufacturing process conditions are not … Read More
The complexity of today’s products requires the use of simulation models from early concept design to final validation testing. These simulation models need to cover various disciplines, allowing the assessment of the system’s functional behavior and hence optimization with respect … Read More
In 2003, the German band Kraftwerk released Tour de France Soundtracks to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the prestigious bicycle tour. I have to admit that I like that video – black and white images refined with minimal and subtle colorful … Read More
This year 120 teams gathered in Brooklyn, Michigan to participate in the Formula SAE® competition. Together, members of each dedicated team design, build, and test a small, Formula-style competition vehicle. In just four days, a year worth of laborious preparation … Read More
