Fundamentals of Helicopter Dynamics

Fundamentals of Helicopter Dynamics

Helicopter Dynamics Introduced in an Organized and Systematic Manner A result of lecture notes for a graduate-level introductory course as well as the culmination of a series of lectures given to designers engineers operators users and researchers Fundamentals of Helicopter Dynamics provides a fundamental understanding and a thorough overview of helicopter dynamics and aerodynamics. Written at a basic level this text starts from first principles and moves fluidly onward from simple to more complex systems. Gain Valuable Insight on Helicopter Theory Divided into 11 chapters this text covers historical development hovering and vertical flight simplified rotor blade model in flap mode and forward flight. It devotes two chapters to the aeroelastic response and stability analysis of isolated rotor blade in uncoupled and coupled modes. Three chapters address the modeling of coupled rotor–fuselage dynamics and the associated flight dynamic stability and provide a simplified analysis of the ground resonance aeromechanical stability of a helicopter. Explains equations derived from first principles and approximations Contains a complete set of equations which can be used for preliminary studies Requires a basic first–level course in dynamics as well as a basic first–level course in aerodynamics Useful for any student who wants to learn the complexities of dynamics in a flying vehicle Fundamentals of Helicopter Dynamics is an ideal resource for aerospace/aeronautical helicopter and mechanical/control engineers as well as air force schools and helicopter/rotorcraft manufacturers.

The Growth of a Storyteller Helicopter Stories in Action

The Growth of a Storyteller Helicopter Stories in Action

This sequel to the bestselling Princesses Dragons and Helicopter Stories reveals the positive impact the storytelling and story acting curriculum of Vivian Gussin Paley has on young children’s literacy communication and confidence. Telling the story of three years of classroom-based research with children aged two to seven it shows the Helicopter Stories approach in action capturing the children’s development as storytellers and their delight at having their stories listened to scribed and acted out. In each chapter Trisha Lee’s passion for children’s unique voices shines through as she shares and reflects on the children’s stories paying each of them the same respect as would normally be bestowed on adult writers. Exploring the importance of story in children’s lives the book: Examines the cognitive and developmental impact of implementing a Helicopter Stories approach over an extended time period Analyses the stories told by children using the story structure of the Hero’s Journey and the seven basic plot types Explores how and why stories connect with us including children’s innate ability to empathise with the hero from a very young age Includes rich case studies of children at different ages and developmental stages including those with additional needs Offering a fascinating insight into how Helicopter Stories work in practice and addressing the frequently asked questions about the benefits of using this approach The Growth of a Storyteller is valuable reading for anyone interested in storytelling and story acting with their children. | The Growth of a Storyteller Helicopter Stories in Action

Swarm Intelligence and Deep Evolution Evolutionary Approach to Artificial Intelligence

Swarm Intelligence and Deep Evolution Evolutionary Approach to Artificial Intelligence

The book provides theoretical and practical knowledge about swarm intelligence and evolutionary computation. It describes the emerging trends in deep learning that involve the integration of swarm intelligence and evolutionary computation with deep learning i. e. deep neuroevolution and deep swarms. The study reviews the research on network structures and hyperparameters in deep learning and attracting attention as a new trend in AI. A part of the coverage of the book is based on the results of practical examples as well as various real-world applications. The future of AI based on the ideas of swarm intelligence and evolution is also covered. The book is an introductory work for researchers. Approaches to the realization of AI and the emergence of intelligence are explained with emphasis on evolution and learning. It is designed for beginners who do not have any knowledge of algorithms or biology and explains the basics of neural networks and deep learning in an easy-to-understand manner. As a practical exercise in neuroevolution the book shows how to learn to drive a racing car and a helicopter using MindRender. MindRender is an AI educational software that allows the readers to create and play with VR programs and provides a variety of examples so that the readers will be able to create and understand AI. | Swarm Intelligence and Deep Evolution Evolutionary Approach to Artificial Intelligence

Safety and Quality in Medical Transport Systems Creating an Effective Culture

Safety and Quality in Medical Transport Systems Creating an Effective Culture

The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) has been accrediting air and ground transport services since 1991. One of the most significant needs the Commission has recognized is to assist transport services in creating a culture that supports safety and quality for both crews and patients. Most of the helicopter EMS (emergency medical service) accidents and many ground ambulance accidents can be attributed to human factors and systems designs that lead to poor decision-making. Management commitment is vital to create and maintain a culture that supports risk assessment accountability professionalism and organizational dynamics. This reference book has been created by CAMTS to address this need directly and comprehensively. It offers a groundbreaking collection of expert insights and practical solutions that can be used by EMS Fire and Rescue public and private services and professional emergency and transport professionals worldwide. Quoting from the foreword written by the late Robert L. Helmreich Professor Emeritus of Psychology at The University of Texas Human Factors Research Project 'This is an important book which should be required reading for everyone involved in patient transport from managers and dispatchers to those at the sharp end. The experienced and able authors and editors of this work use culture as the overarching concept needed to maximize safety while delivering patients expeditiously.

Adaptive Control of Dynamic Systems with Uncertainty and Quantization

Adaptive Control of Dynamic Systems with Uncertainty and Quantization

This book presents a series of innovative technologies and research results on adaptive control of dynamic systems with quantization uncertainty and nonlinearity including the theoretical success and practical development such as the approaches for stability analysis the compensation of quantization the treatment of subsystem interactions and the improvement of system tracking and transient performance. Novel solutions by adopting backstepping design tools to a number of hotspots and challenging problems in the area of adaptive control are provided. In the first three chapters the general design procedures and stability analysis of backstepping controllers and the basic descriptions and properties of quantizers are introduced as preliminary knowledge for this book. In the remainder of this book adaptive control schemes are introduced to compensate for the effects of input quantization state quantization both input and state/output quantization for uncertain nonlinear systems and are applied to helicopter systems and DC Microgrid. Discussion remarks are provided in each chapter highlighting new approaches and contributions to emphasize the novelty of the presented design and analysis methods. Simulation results are also given in each chapter to show the effectiveness of these methods. This book is helpful to learn and understand the fundamental backstepping schemes for state feedback control and output feedback control. It can be used as a reference book or a textbook on adaptive quantized control for students with some background in feedback control systems. Researchers graduate students and engineers in the fields of control information and communication electrical engineering mechanical engineering computer science and others will benefit from this book. | Adaptive Control of Dynamic Systems with Uncertainty and Quantization
