Structural Optimization of UCAV’s Main Landing Gear Using Explicit Dynamics

Muhammad AsfandYar Amjad, Muhammad Talha Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: In the aircraft industry, the ultimate goal in any component’s design is to minimize its weight, maximize its durability, and increasing its life while keeping its overall life cycle costs low. This is especially true in the case of Landing gears. In this research, a category of unmanned combat aerial vehicles was picked. In that category a number of reference unmanned combat aerial vehicles were selected to extract the required parameters and dimensions of their main landing gears from literature review and analysis. The main landing gear was then modeled in CAD. Simultaneously loading conditions were defined and loads were determined. The equivalent von misses and maximum principal stresses were obtained from finite element analysis for multiple materials using the finite element package ANSYS. These results were then in turn used to calculate the factor of safety. Furthermore, an impact study was carried out using Explicit Dynamics in LS DYNA for the same materials. The stress formulations and deformations in impact were far more realistic and accurate and highly non-linear than in static structural. The results were then validated and used to get an optimized model. An impact study was carried out for optimized model and it was found that stresses and deformations vary slightly but new model has substantial decrease in mass.

Modelling and Analysis of Off Shore Wind Turbines and Research on Anti Typhoon Strategies

Ibtisam Rashed Abbasi, Mehak Qaiser Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: The modern era of science has pushed mankind in pursuing methods of power generation with least amount of pollution. Harnessing the energy of the ever-flowing wind via a wind turbine is the future of energy production. It is most researched topic of the modern scientific age and off shore wind turbines are preferred over on shore due to greater wind speed and optimum energy production. This motivated us to undertake this interesting project dealing with analysis, modelling and research on Anti-typhoon Strategies of the off-shore wind turbine. A 3D geometry model was created and FSI simulations along with structural FEM simulations were performed to completely cater the pressures and stresses applied on Wind turbine structure at various wind speeds from operating range to violent typhoon speeds. The Factor of safety plots give us an idea about failure occurrence and fatigue life was calculated. We also did study about the anti-typhoon strategies which are being researched around the world. The results indicated that most wind turbines undergo failure at around 55-60m/s which is in the territory of violent typhoon. For example, from our simulations, failure of the General Electric 1.5MW turbine occurred between 50-55m/s. To conclude, it is essentially important that turbines are structurally sound as to bear the stresses at various wind speeds. The simulations give us an estimate about the value of stresses that are occurring at a particular wind speed. However, the study of anti-typhoon strategies will help in keeping the turbines operational under drastic and violent typhoon wind speeds ensuring undisputed production of electricity.

Design a Structural Health Monitoring System for Offshore Wind Turbines

Muhammad Usman Pervez, Luqman Zarid Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Over the last decade offshore wind has experienced a remarkable development and has become the most profitable renewable energy source. In order to harvest offshore wind more efficiently, we should improve safety considerations, minimize down time, huge maintenance and logistic costs of wind turbines. For this purpose, the wind turbines should be monitored from time to time to provide reliable power generation. Among all the monitoring systems, the structural health monitoring (SHM) system is of primary importance because it is the structure that provides the integrity of the system. Sometimes minute fault inside the structure might affect whole body and it would lead to collapse the structure which might create a significant loss of property. In this project we will study different techniques used to monitor the structure of wind turbines and will design a Structural Health Monitoring system for offshore wind energy turbines to reduce labor costs of OWTs' inspection, avoid unnecessary maintenance, identify design weaknesses before failure and improve the availability of power production while preventing wind turbines' overloading. To design a health monitoring system, we have to propose a system which will help us out to find the structural health analysis of the OWT. So what we have to do is that we will analyze by doing different simulations of an accurate and perfect blade and then on a cracked blade. After comparing the graphs of the both cases we can manage to develop an health monitoring system for the OWTs. These can be helpful regarding the health monitoring system of OWTs.

Progressive Damage Modeling and Analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composite Using Extend Finite Element Method (XFEM) And Its Application in Aircraft Structure.

Muhammad Zahid, Mahnoor Ahsan Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: The purpose of this project is to investigate the capabilities to simulate progressive damage in laminated composite. Our motivation is to predict structural and damage behavior during the development phase to prevent high costs of redesign. In addition, the assessment of flaws and damages which are widespread in every material are critical. The prediction of progressive damage in such materials is crucial if the concept of damage tolerance is of interest. This concept is especially of high interest in the field of composite materials. Therefore, the simulation and prediction of progressive damage is vital. In order to achieve that goal a theoretical background is essential. Thus, the beginning of this contains a general classification of damage phenomena appearing in composite material. Furthermore, two topics are essential to simulate progressive damage: Firstly, failure criteria are needed to assess if a damage appears and if it propagates. So we will use Hashin Damage criteria Methodology for propagation of damage. Secondly, general strategies to include damage mechanics of composite materials in numerical analysis are needed and thus summarized in this report. These strategies are further explained by a description of specific modeling techniques for progressive damage. A 3D model has been established for simulation of the tensile test, 3-point bending test and notched plate composite specimen which enables to understand the mechanical strength and strain at failure of the composite materials. 14 ply laminate plate with various stacking sequences were analyzed for their strength and displacement. For this we will use the methodology Extend Finite element analyses in ABAQUS. Results are provided in the form of von mises stresses, stress-strain curves, and crack propagation path. Then these are compared with experimental data for validation.

Development of Extended Cohesive Damage Model (ECDM) and Representative Volume Element (Rve) in Progressive Damage Modeling for Fiber Reinforced Composites

Muhammad Saood ur Rehman, Zeeshan Ali Nasir

Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) Composites are presently used in aircraft and satellites structure for better performance due to their unique properties. During the operation, these materials can come across any kind of failure due to all kinds of forces acting on them. In this research, we have developed a Representative Volume Element (RVE) for progressive damage model to define any kind of changes to material and geometric properties or change in boundary conditions that may affect the current or future performance of CFRPs. These damage models will also provide us estimated useful life of such composites. ABAQUS software package for 3D modeling simulations is used to obtain results because with the help of Python scripting we can run multiple simulations without crashing our geometry, mesh. It was observed that by introducing nanofibers in longitudinal direction modulus of elasticity has increased by 11.1%. The results from Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are also validated from previous research. We proceeded to cohesive damage modeling using our modeled Representative volume element and studied the Extended cohesive damage model as an application. The cohesive damage model is a model in fracture mechanics in which fracture formation is regarded as a gradual phenomenon in which separation of the surfaces involved in the crack takes place across an extended crack tip, or cohesive zone and is resisted by cohesive tractions.

Investigation of micro-crack propagation in carbon fiber reinforced laminates using extended finite element method (XFEM) and applications in aircraft structure.

Asanwar Rehman, Faisal Awais Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: The study of laminates is composed of either unidirectional fibers or matrix reinforcements which are inserted in an epoxy resin. Various methodologies and frameworks have been developed for extended finite element method (XFEM) to simulate two-dimensional and three- dimensional microcrack initiation and propagation. In most cases of crack propagation analysis crack path is unknown, and therefore frequent remeshing is necessary. The major promise of XFEM is to allow for crack propagation inside a fixed FEM mesh, the crack cutting its way not only at the boundary between subdomains, but inside the FE's themselves. Moreover, treating problems with discontinuities with Extended Finite Element Methods suppresses the need to mesh and re-mesh the discontinuity surfaces, thus alleviating the computational costs and projection errors associated with conventional finite element methods. Single and multi-microcracks were defined in a laminate model using Abaqus CAE software. Different boundary conditions were applied and the effect of microcrack on the mechanical properties was studied. The simulation results were validated with experimental data obtained from literature. The results came accurate while also saving the computational cost as compared to the conventional finite element method. Composite laminates are becoming more important in the construction of aircraft structures such as fairings, etc. and the study of these materials is necessary to ensure the safety of human life and aircraft structures.

Multiscale Modelling and FEM Analysis to Investigate the Mechanical Properties of Human Femur Bone for Comparative Study of Biomimetic and Advanced Polymeric Materials

Mohammad Khalid, Muhammad Awais Madni Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Aviation biomechanics incorporates the application of mechanical standards to the effects of loads and vibrations on pilots, and their countermeasures. The practical and dynamic nature of the aviation industry means that high performance lightweight materials have always constituted a research hotspot. Several materials that have mechanical properties similar to that of human bone were critically analyzed to propose optimal materials for implementation in aerospace applications. These include biomimetic materials and advanced polymers. Finite element analysis packages were used for static and modal analyses of a human femur bone constructed from scanned CT data taken from literature. A group of polymers called Polyether ether ketones (PEEK) and Hydroxyapatite- PEEKs (HA-PEEK) were considered along with several biomimetic composite structures for application in the bone model. Multiscale modelling was performed and suitable load profiles resembling musculoskeletal loads on the femur were used. Resulting data recorded includes the Von mises stresses, principal stresses, deformation and stress intensity for comparison and validation with actual bone data. Modal analysis of polymers studied the dynamic configurations for the first twenty modes and exhibited the natural frequency of vibration as varying between 223 Hz and 3539 Hz. The results have been used to propose materials that can be implemented in ortho-related applications in aerospace; including engineering more ergonomic environments in aero vehicles, bone implantation, greater accuracy in the simulation of biological fractures, etc.

Design of a Drone Deflection System

Ahmad Iqbal, Hamza Asif Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: In the recent years, the usage of drones has increased manifolds this increased usage of drones means more security breaches and has become a threat to privacy of many government and security organizations. This threat must be nullified using some harmless techniques. We have designed a system to halt the working of unwanted drones by using passive source of actions. Our design consists of RF Jammers and GPS Spoofer. RF Jammers is built using Telecomm and Electrical techniques while GPS Spoofer is designed using Software techniques on SDR Platform. The RF jammer will jam the remote-control signal and GPS spoofer will help in taking the drone to a location specified by us. We were able to jam a drone working in the 2.4 GHZ Spectrum using RF Jammers and we were also able to spoof the location of the drone using GPS Spoofer.

Fatigue Analysis of Engine Mount of Aircraft

Muhammad Waseem, Hamid Abdullah Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: ATLAS Engineering in collaboration with PAC Kamra is retrofitting SAFRAN SMA SR305-230E engine on SAAB MFI 17 aircraft also known as Super Mushshak by replacing existing Textron Lycoming IO-360-A1B6 engine. Our project mainly includes the Geometry refinement, static structural analysis, modal analysis and finally fatigue analysis of engine mount of SAAB 17 MFI. Static structural analysis determines the displacements, stresses, strains, and forces in structures of modified engine. Modal analysis helps in determining the natural frequencies as well as mode shapes of a structure of new engine and while fatigue analysis gives the life of engine mount. Motivation for doing this project was primarily an interest in structures. Load calculations, Centre of gravity evaluation, modified Engine mount geometry details, modelling, meshing, structural analyses and fatigue analysis are included in this project. Structural loads are calculated under -2g, 1g and 4.4g loading conditions and are applied on engine centre of gravity. For the engine mounts structural analysis and design, we followed EASA and FAA rules for our load calculations. The finite element model of engine mount is refined by using CAD software and simulations for results are performed using FEA software package ANSYS 19.2. The results are analysed for Safety factor, Von mises stresses and deformations in geometry for both 1D and 3D cases including three load conditions. Lowest value of factor of safety under extreme loading condition is analyzed which determine engine mount safety.

Design and Developmment of Brushless Motor Thrust Stand

Saad Altaf Qureshi, Hashim Shafiq Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: In the past many years since the development of aircrafts people have used fuel such as kerosene to power up their vehicles and with the advancement of time in the industry, humans have finally introduced electric propulsion and brushless motors. However, the efficiency of the method i.e. electric propulsion has to be monitored despite its leading advantage over fuel-based propulsion. For the purpose of efficiency of a motor used for propulsion we use thrust stands that allow us to measure specifics such as thrust and power. Thrust stands available may measure the characteristics of a motor but we insist on developing a thrust stand that will not only give the statistics but will also have a user- friendly interface visualizing the working efficiency of the motor and will also log the data for future inspection about the deterioration and usefulness. For our project we have designed our own thrust stand to analyze the motor. By using Arduino board and various sensors for current sensing, voltage, power, thrust and rpm we have formed our circuit. We have coded and calibrated for each sensor respectively. We designed the thrust stand on Catia V5 and have used aluminum as the material for the stand. We have used MATLAB GUI for creating a user-friendly interface which provides real time plots for our running motor. We introduced a slider to control the pulse width modulated signal to control the speed of our motor. The data we acquire is saved simultaneously providing the efficiency of motor at any or all points in time. The data saved can be used to conclude the efficiency of motor overtime, it’s life expectancy, sustainability and its fitness for any task.

Optimization of CD Nozzle Length for a Particular Supersonic Mach 5 Nozzle Under Varying Ambient/Back Pressure Conditions

Maryam Javed, Zaid Ahmed Goharvi Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Man’s urge to reach higher and higher Mach numbers has led to the complexity of the nozzle design. Supersonic flows being highly compressible often result in shockwaves causing discontinuous flow. So, a supersonic wind tunnel nozzle contour should be such that there are minimal disturbances to the flow and we achieve a uniform exit flow parallel to the centerline of the nozzle. The characteristic method is a general technique to design nozzles which can be performed only through a lengthy graphical procedure needful of high computational power. Our objective is to design and optimize the length of a Supersonic Mach 5 CD Nozzle for wind tunnel facility. A gradually expanded 2D Nozzle is designed through a MATLAB Code based on the Method of Characteristics (MOC) with a throat radius of 0.01 meters. We have used Ansys Fluent for the CFD Analysis of the designed contour. Static Pressure, Temperature, Density, Velocity and Mach Number contours are plotted and discussed. We have achieved a Mach Number of 5.29 at the exit and a total nozzle length of 2.0 meters. For the length optimization, a slightly different contour with no expansion section is generated and similar procedure has been carried out. The results of the analysis show us that a Mach Number of 4.98 can be achieved at the exit with a total nozzle length of 1.88 meters. Both the designed nozzles have been analyzed for varying ambient/back pressure conditions and their results show significant compliance with the theoretical results i-e errors lie under 7%. Encouraging results have been obtained so far and this optimized minimum length nozzle can be used for the wind tunnel facility. However, further research can be carried out to refine the nozzle.

Computational Acoustic Analysis of Combustion Chamber

Muhammad Sajjad, Muhammad Abubakar Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Nowadays, noise pollution is of great concern to the aero industry. The contribution of the combustion chamber in the noise is significant, which led to this project. The main objective of our project is to analyze and determine the noise being generated in the combustion chamber, with and without dampers and micro-perforated sheets. The combustion chamber of Whittle W2/700-21 Jet was selected on which analysis was to be performed. After modeling the geometry of the combustion chamber in Catia, steady analysis was done in CFX-Ansys. Steady results were imported to the unsteady module and transient CFD was performed to observe the pressure fluctuations at 18 different monitor points. Monitor point outputs were exported and acoustic analysis was performed using respective Matlab code. The results are comprised of sound pressure levels obtained at each monitor point placed both axially and radially. The overall sound pressure level is also evaluated at each monitor point. Based on these results, variation in the magnitude of noise being generated was observed in both axial and radial directions. Also, noise reduction was observed when dampers were employed in the combustion chamber and hence contributing lesser towards noise pollution.

Keywords: Combustion chamber, Ansys-CFX, Sound pressure level, OASPL, Whittle W2/700-21 Jet, Monitor point, Acoustic analysis, damper.

Ramjet Inlet Design for Mach 3.5

Ahsan Ramzan, Shoaib Ehsan Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology Islamabad [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Ramjet Inlet is used to slow down the upcoming supersonic speed to subsonic speed for the combustion process. This process is accomplished with the use of shock waves and a diffuser. With great interest in aerodynamics and research work, the authors started the project. This project aims to design an inlet of ramjet with the help of shock waves, slow down the incoming supersonic speed to subsonic with a value of 0.2, which is feasible for the combustion process. The design of the inlet is an iterative process. With each design iteration, the authors did a CFD analysis of the geometry. LES and k-w turbulence models were used to get the desired results. Different problems with the design were identified and catered to in each iteration. The authors are successful in achieving a subsonic Mach of 0.3 at the end of the inlet. It will be used in missiles with a ramjet engine, to slow down speed up to the desired point and to guide the oxidizing air in the combustion chamber.

Keywords: Aerodynamics, Ramjet inlet design, CFD, subsonic speed for combustion

Specialized Tools: CATIA for geometry design, ANSYS Fluent and ICEM is used for meshing and CFD of Inlet.)

Acoustic Analysis of Axial Flow Turbine

Faiq Ahmed Shahid, Rana M. Hanzla Akhlaq Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected] , [email protected]

Abstract: Until recently, the fan and the jet were the dominant noise sources in turbofan engines. However, with the advent of the high bypass engine and with the introduction of the quiet fan installation, noise from the turbine has been assuming increasing significance. In this project, we investigated the noise generating from a single-stage axial flow turbine, at different conditions and RPMs including non-uniform temperature at the inlet. For this purpose, we did CFD analysis on the Axial flow turbine of GE 90B which is the engine of Boeing 777. Turbine stage geometry was set in ANSYS Blademodeler and meshing was done in ANSYS turbogrid. The steady-state results were obtained of 2 different cases i.e cruise and takeoff case of Boeing 777. The transient case is being set up with the help of steady-state results. Total time of 1 second is selected with timesteps of 40000 and 17 monitors are being set in the turbine stage. The pressure-time results obtained from transient CFD analysis at 17 different monitors are being transformed into Sound-frequency data using Laplace Transformation through a MATLAB code. The analysis is done up to 20,000 HZ of frequency. The sound ranges between 110-160 dB at different monitor points of the turbine stage. The magnitude of the noise is large on hotpots which are caused by non-uniform temperature distribution at the turbine inlet. The rotor is the majority contributor of noise in the turbine stage. An acoustic model is made which can predict the magnitude of generated noise in the axial flow turbine.

Keywords: CFD, CFX, Laplace transformation, Acoustic Model

Design of Efficient Supersonic Intake at Critical, Sub Critical and Super-Critical Operating Conditions

Muhammad Ali, Abdul Hannan Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: An intake is the after-body of an engine which is a part specially designed to provide the engine with a proper airflow during various flight conditions which the engine is subjected to. Intake is a challenging design part because the pressure conditions an intake faces are against nature of the flow. The study on selection of intake design based upon the operating Mach and other considerations were conducted and after choosing a current type of intake the intake design methods are studied. The operating Mach number for the inlet designed in this report is Mach 2. After designing Intake, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted and the results were provided. Based on the theoretical study provided in this report the first intake (2-Dimensional) configuration was selected to be 2 ramp mixed compression intake and analysis were conducted on it at Design Mach Number, but due to the complexity of variable geometry at different Mach numbers the intake type was abandoned (for 3-Dimensional analysis) and bump or Diverter-less Supersonic Intake (DSI) was designed, providing simplicity to the whole intake and easier analysis at different operating Mach numbers.

Keywords: Design Mach Number, Operating Mach Number, CFD Simulations, Mixed Compression Intake, Diverter-less Supersonic Intake (DSI).

CFD Analysis of Airfoil (3D) in Rotating Gas Field

Abdullah Ahmed, Hamza Mansoor Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected] , [email protected]

Abstract: As airfoil is widely used in aircraft for making wings and in modern world so in order to study the behavior of airfoil in rotating gas field we choose this project. The project consists of several steps like literature review, geometry, meshing, simulation, result and study the trend of result. There are four different cases that we study. Airfoil was made in CATIA V5 and further analysis is carried out in ANSYS Fluent. In first case airfoil is analyzed in non-rotating cylindrical domain just to find out the boundary conditions for further analysis with inlet and outlet. In second phase of project we change the domain with no inlet and outlet and treated cylinder as wall and rotate the domain keeping airfoil stationary and study its effect like coefficient of lift drag and momentum followed by pressure, density, temperature variations at different angle of attacks and analyze the results. In third case we change the airfoil with a rectangular slab of same dimensions and study effect of flow on slab at different angle of attack. In final case we invert the geometry so that when we rotate the flow it follows from leading to and analyze its results this too is done at different angle of attacks. After this we compare all cases that which one is better and analyze the results that which geometry generate better lift followed by analyzing the effect of Reynold number and coefficient of moment

Keywords: airfoil, rotating gas field, FLUENT, shock wave, Reynold number, angle of attack

Development of Firing Table of an Artillery Shell

Usama Mughal, Tauqeer Ahmed Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Firing accuracy of projectiles is very important to get the best results. The aim is to get maximum probability of killing the targets with minimum round fired. To construct firing tables before the physically fired rounds is very much benefitting and reduces cost as well as increases accuracy. In this study a firing table is constructed by using vacuum trajectory having only gravity effect then drag effects introduced by considering shell as a point mass moving through air and in final step the shell geometry and its interaction with air is considered by using a 6 DOF model.A six DOF model includes Magnus force and moments, lift ,drag , pitch damping force and moments too. A case study for 122mm-OF-462 is done using the numerical techniques and CFD analysis to get control coefficients. The following two products are generated i) The complete firing table for point mass. ii) For modified point mass the firing table is generated only for two firing angles. The vacuum case is an ideal case and hence gives three times greater results to actual one. The point mass gives approximately good results that includes less than ten percent error. The extension of point mass to modified point mass using six DOF model gives the exactly same results as of the original ones.

Optimization of Length of the Constant Diameter section of a Supersonic Diffuser

Hussain Ahmed, Muhammad Shaheer Rehan, Maryam Qadri Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Supersonic diffusers are used to slow down the high-speed test section flow in wind tunnels. Constant area supersonic diffusers have been of a particular interest to researchers because of their simple design. However, if the length of this diffuser is not optimum it can lead to decreased performance of the wind tunnel because the flow is characterized by frictional effects and shock wave/ boundary layer interaction. In this project, the optimization of a constant area, Mach 5, supersonic diffuser is carried out. Firstly, the flow is approximated as Fanno flow using mathematical modelling on MATLAB to study the frictional effects. Next, the shock wave/ boundary layer interaction of Mach 5 flow is analyzed using CFD simulations at different back pressure ratios. The results are compared with the Waltrup-Billig Correlation. After validation of results, diffuser efficiency is determined at the best back pressure ratio. In order to reduce the shock train length and to increase the diffusion efficiency, a boundary control mechanism using normal suction slots is applied. The best slot width is determined using parametric CFD analysis at which significant decrease in shock train length and increase in diffuser efficiency is observed. The optimization is then carried out by decreasing the L/D ratio of the constant area diffuser until the best diffuser efficiency is achieved. About 23.32% decrease in length and 14.32% increase in diffuser efficiency for a Mach 5 flow is observed using boundary layer control. It is concluded that with the use of boundary-layer control mechanism, the performance of a constant area diffuser can be significantly increased along with a reduction in its length.

Keywords: Constant Area Supersonic Diffusers, Wind Tunnels, Shock wave/ Boundary layer interaction, Shock train, Boundary layer control, Diffuser efficiency, Optimization.

Design and Development of a UAV for Apron Inspection and other Services at the Airport Fahad Ali, Asadullah Zafar Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: This project covers the work on design, development, fabrication, and testing of an Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) for the purpose of apron inspection and other services at airports. Technological advancements have allowed UAVs to conduct better inspection of aircrafts. The idea is to opt for the best size, design, and components i.e., frame, battery, propellers and controller and sensors to achieve the desired results. The RC quadcopter will be used for the object detection by capturing images and videos at the apron. Inspection and image processing of the aircraft will analyze the cracks. With technological advancements, UAVs are becoming an everyday part of professionals across various fields of engineering. Therefore, having a sound knowledge of UAVs is important, especially for aerospace engineers. This eagerness led us to choose this research project. By using UAVs for aircraft inspection not only saves up time and resources but also reduces the human error factor which is crucial for aircraft maintenance. The quadcopter is designed to complete the visual inspection at one-third of the time. Opting a quadcopter UAV for this project, gives us sufficient stability and ease of use to carry out the desired tasks. The motors, propellors, battery, speed controllers, flight controller, , transmitter and receiver are the main components used to fabricate the UAV. The UAV is designed to give us a flight time of around 20 minutes, which is sufficient for the inspection of a medium sized aircraft. The images taken by the UAV will be processed for crack and obstacle detection and or any paint deterioration on surface of the Aircraft. Optimization could also help to generate a Visual Inspection Report with the Reference Images of the Aircraft. The UAV would assist maintenance engineers and allow them to complete the visual inspection at a faster rate. Commercially, there are very few companies offering UAV solely for inspection purposes. The optimization and integration of a software could enable our project for a feasible product in a growing market.

CFD Analysis of Morphing Wing

Roha Gul, Maaha Jawad, Talha Khalid Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: The history of aviation has been, for the past few decades, been a race to improve aircraft and flight performance through newly introduced technology and methods. Morphing is not a relatively new concept involving replicating the mechanisms of bird like flight. However what is new is the morphing methodology encompassing smart materials. It is the next step in the future of the aircraft industry. Morphing flight surfaces are compliant structures which provide the aircraft with flight adaptive aerodynamics wherever necessary. In essence, they would provide us with better aerodynamics than compared to a hinged wing.

The project is based on employing FishBAC morphing methodology to the wings of a reference aircraft leading to CFD analysis. The aircraft for reference is the MFI-395 Super Mushshak, a military trainer / light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC). The adaptive camber method was employed on the airfoil NACA 23012 (currently employed on the SMK) leading to two separate deflections of 20° and 38°. These deflections correspond to takeoff and landing conditions of the aircraft respectively. CFD analysis was conducted for comparison between morphed and hinged wing geometries for both deflection configurations. Analysis focused on the lift and drag coefficients, aerodynamic efficiency and stall angle of attack.

Analysis showed that by employing a morphed flap instead of a hinged one, lift increases at each angle of attack and stall angle is delayed. This translates to better flight performance on takeoff and landing maneuvers. By employing morphing technology to lifting surfaces of an aircraft, we can produce better aerodynamics with better control when it comes to adapting to new or unforeseen flight conditions.

Design and Simulation of Hypersonic Converging-Diverging Wind-Tunnel Nozzle

Aarib Irfan Ali, M. Naveed Azam Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Wind-Tunnels are an integral part of design and evaluation of any flight vehicle. Due to high speed flight becoming the norm, many organizations are investing in high speed hypersonic wind- tunnels for testing of flight vehicles and missiles as without initial testing of prototypes and iterative design process, we cannot achieve an optimized flight vehicle. The most important part of a hypersonic wind-tunnel is its diverging section that is used to expand the flow to the hypersonic. This is a challenging task as dimensional instability can create non-uniform flow in the nozzle and incorrect contours of the diverging section can lead to shockwaves that may damage the wind-tunnel and the equipment itself. In addition, it is imperative that nozzle accounts for boundary layer formation and produce a flow with uniform pressure and temperature at the test section. Factors such as under- expansion and comparison of axial and radial pressure distribution also need to be evaluated. Method of Characteristics is used to obtain contours for diverging section of nozzle. The code is written in MATLAB for a Planar Nozzle and for Axisymmetric Nozzle code developed by J.C. Sivells is used. A GUI software is also developed in MATLAB to solve MoC and obtain inviscid contours. Formation of boundary layer is accounted for using displacement and momentum equations. A fluid flow analysis is performed on both Planar and Axisymmetric Nozzle using ANSYS FLUENT along with validation, grid sensitivity study and turbulence model study. The variation of radial and axial pressure distribution in axisymmetric nozzle is also studied. Prandtl-Meyer expansion at nozzle exit and interaction of expansion waves for under-expanded pressure nozzle is also studied. A uniform Mach 5 flow is achieved at the exit with no dimensional instability for both Planar or Axisymmetric nozzle. This study is also used to design a planar variable Mach Number Hypersonic Wind-tunnel. A study to evaluate real life performance such as run-time, pressure loss, effect of polytropic index, interrelation of run-time, pressure tank volume and Mach Number is also performed.

CFD and Performance Analysis of Gunpod Installation on “Super Mushshak Aircraft

Abroo Zia, Rabia Noor Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: The higher price tag, pilot efforts, and inefficiency in counter-insurgency operations connected to 4th or 5th generation aircraft highlight the importance of keeping Light attack aircraft in service. Introducing light attack aircrafts having high technology weapon systems with improved performance parameters is also necessary. Using light aircraft for strafing attacks and counter- insurgency operations is preferable because of lesser financial constraints and higher efficiency. Super Mushak is a light attack aircraft having capable of carrying gun pods. This might help in improving aircraft’s firing capability without taking internal space. Installation of a gun pod on Super Mushak might make it incredibly useful for counter-insurgency operations and strafing attacks. This project is based on a CFD analysis of the effect of gun pod installation on the aerodynamics and performance of aircraft. CFD analysis of aircraft geometry before and after installation of gun pods provides the change in aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft because of gun pods. After CFD, performance analysis is carried out to find alterations in the performance characteristics of aircraft. The performance of aircraft after the installation of gun pods is satisfactory. Most of the performance parameters have just slightly changed after integrating gun pod with Mushak aircraft. Therefore, gun pod installation on Mushak can be a significant step to modernize aircraft.

Designing Conformal Fuel Tanks and Computational Fluid Dynamics of JF-17 Thunder

Sumbal Nazir, Hamayal Babar Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected] , [email protected]

Abstract: JF-17 Thunder is a beacon of Pakistan’s Defense. Hence, the operations to work for the betterment of the A/C are of prior importance. As JF-17 Thunder never flies in combat without multiple external fuel tanks, which ultimately hinder the jet’s performance, Conformal Fuel Tanks become an optimum choice to enhance its workings. Just like its ancestor F-16. The optimization of the CFT Shapes constructed is completed. With the CFTs in play, we strive to achieve stealth, longer range, 40% fuel capacity, and low drag penalty with almost the same aerodynamics as that of the clean Thunder. Initially, meshing is completed on a CAD model Of the A/C. Once done ANSYS FLUENT is used for the case setup, and performance parameters are calculated for the clean A/C along with the validation, grid independence test, and the Turbulence Model Test. Once done with the pre & post-processing, CAD models of different CFT shapes are generated. Individually attached to the A/C, and the procedure stated above is followed again. Lastly, the results of both clean aircraft and the one with CFTs are compared. In the end, the optimum CFT shape is chosen out of all, and the high AOA departure resistance, as well as recovery, are studied. The performance parameters of the clean A/C and CFT attached are calculated both for accelerated as well as unaccelerated flight. 40% fuel capacity objective achieved for all the CFT shapes. All CFTs are attached and integrated. The approach used is by varying the AOA, is reduced to zero. Now a specific AOA is selected to maximize the lateral as well as the longitudinal stability. Two shapes(F16 & Drop Shape)have been shortlisted for the case of longitudinal stability which gives 훥퐶푀 ≈ 0. The rolling moment calculations are in progress. CFTs indeed enhance the performance of the A/C. all shapes perform individually. The two shapes selected are the best of eight that were generated. The shapes generated are aerodynamically efficient, and have desired fuel capacity.

Keywords: Shape Optimization approach, Conformal Fuel Tanks, stealth, low drag penalty, 40% fuel capacity, grid independence test, Validation, Turbulence Model Test, pre/post processing, CFT shape Optimization, High AOA resistance, High AOA Departure Recovery, aerodynamically efficient.

Design and Shape Optimization of Hyperloop

Saba Asghar, Syeda Ghulam Zainab Shirazi Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Hyperloop system is a high-speed futuristic vehicle traveling in evacuated tubes at the speed more than a commercial jet airliner. The reason for choosing this topic is its transforming and innovative nature to find a drag efficient design that can reduce the cost of overall system. No study has yet been done by examining the drag of different aerodynamic shapes based on the transonic airfoils’ curvature. In this project, we have investigated the effect of changing the pod shape on the total drag, pressure drag and viscous drag. At a constant tube pressure (101.325 Pa) and temperature (275K), different shapes are being analyzed for their drag calculation, and pressure and turbulent intensity distribution. Moreover, the trend of drag over these shapes is being observed across a range of velocities (25m/s to 350m/s). The shape with minimum drag is the one with delayed flow separation over the pod surface. Quantitative data of drag is compared for more objective analysis. The results presented are conclusive in choosing best shape of pod with minimum drag and hence help us attain our goal of the design and shape optimization of Hyperloop.

Keywords: Hyperloop, aerodynamic drag, transonic airfoils, pressure distribution, shape optimization Specialized Tools: Fluent, ICEM CFD, MATLAB

Design Analysis and Optimization of an Electric Aircraft

Mesum Ali Irfani, Naveed Khalid Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: The Future of the Aerospace industry is focused on Green Energy technologies to reduce the impact of the Aerospace industry on the atmosphere. Electric Aircraft is one of the options for the emission-free technology we decided to design an Electric Aircrafts Conceptual Design. This Project includes the conceptual design of an Electric Aircraft, its Analysis which includes Aerodynamics, structures, weights, stability, and performance of Electric Aircraft and optimization. We performed the Initial and Refined Sizing of the Electric Aircraft which included Battery Weight and Empty Weight fractions. The Empty Weight fraction using conventional methods with some fudge factors included. Battery Weight Estimations were done using the Specific Energy of the battery and doing the Battery Capacity Sizing. Once we got the initial design and its geometric Parameters, Analysis was performed on the initial Design using Ramer Design Software, DATCOM, MATLAB, and ANSYS Fluent. Keeping in view the Results we got from Analysis we Optimized the Design as per the design requirements set in the beginning. Optimization of Weight was performed using MATLAB and Optimization of Geometry was performed using ANSYS Fluent. Geometry Optimization was done to maximize Aerodynamic Efficiency which is the main factor to reduce battery capacity required for a mission. Finally, we performed the performance Analysis of the Optimized Design. After all of this work, we can conclude that with the present Technology of Batteries Available Aircraft would be very heavy to carry a certain number of passengers as compared to conventional Aircraft Designs because of the High Battery mass required.

Robust Control of a Quadrotor; An ADRC Approach

Muhammad Adeel Ahsan Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected]

Abstract: Quadrotor has caught significant attention because of its simple flight mechanics, agility, and hovering capability. Due to its increasing applications and use, their performance requirements in different conditions are becoming more challenging which requires better designs and robust control strategies. In this project, a robust flight controller known as active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is proposed for a control of a quadrotor under external disturbances and uncertainties. The main aim of this project is the comparison and design of a simple cascaded PD controller and robust active disturbance rejection control (ADRC). ADRC being a non-linear control technique has many complexities and for quadrotor even linear active disturbance rejection controller (LADRC) has an excellent performance. Thus, at first simple cascaded PD controller is designed, discretized, and implemented on a 6 DOF non-linear simulation. Then, a simple linear active disturbance rejection control is designed for a nominal model and implemented on a 6 DOF non- linear simulation. LADRC is discretized and s-functions code is written in a discrete form, which helps in the practical implementation of LADRC on quadrotor's hardware. The performance of both controllers is compared under external disturbances and model uncertainties on both linear and non- linear models. The obtained simulation results demonstrates that LADRC has better robustness to external disturbances as well as model uncertainties. In LADRC scheme, the linear extended state- observer acts as a compensator and rejects the external disturbances by using appropriate control law. In future, these controllers will be implemented on hardware for practical demonstration of LADRC’s disturbance rejection capability.

Mathematical Modelling and Control of Airships

Muhammad Talha, Rahab Mujahid Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: In the last couple of decades, interest in airships arose due to the advancement of technology. Airships have high endurance and the ability to hover or station with minimal energy expenditure as compared to fixed or rotary wing aircraft. The dynamics of an airship are different from that of a conventional aircraft, with significant effects from added mass and inertia. This project is related to developing a mathematical model of an airship dynamics and designing a control system that can guarantee high performance. A reference model of an airship is selected then a non-linear mathematical model is derived using dynamics of airship. The non-linear PID controllers are designed in longitudinal and lateral planes. The responses obtained are validated against the results already available in the literature. The performance of controllers is also tested by inclusion of wind model as a disturbance vector in the airship dynamics. Discrete wind gust model block from Simulink is used to generate a wind field and the airship shows good performance under gusting wind model. Thus, it can be guided through the set of waypoints with careful speed and trajectory planning. The mathematical model and control system of the selected airship is developed using MATLAB and Simulink.

Maryam Sarfraz, Zain Tariq Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: This project focuses on control design of a quadcopter and verifying the designed control strategies on a Parrot Minidrone via Simulink Support Package for Parrot Minidrones (SSPPM). The purpose of this project is to close the gap between Control Design and Implementation. Thus, making it easy to understand the underlying concepts of Control Theory. The essential parts of this project are obtaining a dynamic model of the quadcopter, linearizing the system around an equilibrium point, designing controllers (PID/LQR/LQI) on the linearized system and verifying the controllers on the non-linear model via simulations and then via test flights on the actual drone. Kalman and Complimentary filters are introduced to deal with the noisy sensor measurements. Trajectory tracking, setpoint regulation and disturbance rejection verify the tuned controllers. The comparison of actual flight data to the simulation results validates the control strategies used in this project.

Controller Design of a Twin Rotor MIMO System

Waleed Ahmed, Usman Ahmed Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: The Twin Rotor MIMO System is a model that has dynamics similar to that of a helicopter which makes it a very interesting system for research purposes. It has two rotors and is also known as the “Helicopter Lab Model”. This project is related to the mathematical modelling and controller design of the TRMS along with the practical implementation of the designed controllers. Nonlinear modelling of the system is done using the TRMS dynamics and it is then linearized using Jaccobian techniques. For designing control systems, three strategies are studied and developed. First is the PID controller, controller is first designed on a linear model and then tested on a non-linear model. In the second case, optimal control is studied. LQR is considered but given that it is a regulator, LQI is developed using the linear model and verified on the nonlinear dynamics. In order to make the system fully observable, LQG is also introduced. System is then made compatible with the MATLAB and the designed controllers are implemented on it using MATLAB (Simulink). The actual TRMS results are compared with the simulation results for validation. Finally, a robust controller H-infinity is introduced and tested on the linear and non-linear dynamics of the system. Controllers of the Twin Rotor MIMO System are designed and developed using MATLAB and Simulink.

Control of Ducted Fan UAV

Abdul Manan Khan, Syed Muhammad Zeeshan Khalid Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Surveillance Drones in the form of Quadcopters are seen in abundance, but a ducted type surveillance drone capable of operating in rough terrain and also safe for handling is scarce. While the tip vortices generated by the rotor blade can reduce the efficiency greatly. In case of surveillance in a forest or a city where there are a lot of buildings, disadvantages are faced by quadcopters. So, a new design was needed which had more efficiency and produced less noise. Equipped with a shroud to protect the personnel handling the drone and the solution came out as Coaxial Ducted Fan UAV. The fabrication of the UAV with its control implementation and stability was done. A simplified dynamic model is used and the results of implementing yaw, pitch and roll dampers give stability about hover. A safe surveillance drone for a cluttered environment, capable of flight is fabricated with test flights and is controllable.

Modelling, Simulation & Attitude Control of a Satellite

Hoor Bano, Bisma Sajid Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: Satellite technology is one of the most impactful fields of our time. While the design and development of a full-sized satellite may take several years, with the introduction of smaller satellites the production has become quite feasible. In this regard, Cube Satellites (CubeSats) have become quite popular for communication and research purposes as they provide a platform for low-cost technology development and research. This project focuses on the modelling, simulation, and controller design of a CubeSat. Two types of actuators are incorporated in the CubeSat model, that are, the Reaction Wheels and Magnetorquers. The CubeSat is modelled using two approaches: Euler Angles and Quaternions and they are simulated in MATLAB. The process of modelling and simulation is followed by the development of control strategies. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and Linear Quadratic Integral (LQI) are designed to achieve attitude control (regulation and tracking). Linear and Extended Kalman Filters are implemented for attitude estimation, respectively. This is followed by the design of Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) to achieve attitude estimation and control simultaneously. The analysis of the LQR shows an optimal control but is ineffective in tracking a particular attitude, so LQI control algorithm is implemented which refines the tracking process. Linear Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter and Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filter (MEKF) are all implemented on the satellite model and a comparison study is done. To improve the efficiency, attitude estimation and noise reduction is incorporated in the controller by designing the LQG. The results show an adequate estimation, control, and filtration of the attitude along the three axes.

Keywords: Attitude Control, Reaction Wheels, Magnetorquers, LQR, LQI, LQG, Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter

Adaptive Path Planning for Reconnaissance Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Mariyam Abid Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics Institute of Space Technology [email protected]

Abstract: Path planning for reconnaissance allows to obtain more information about the terrain. The optimal solution of reconnaissance path is obtained using optimization technique i.e. Particle Swarm Optimization or PSO. It is applied to a method of fixed-point reconnaissance path planning for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. PSO has the major advantages of simple implementation, short computation time and obviously good optimization results. Strong motivation is that this technique gives access to evaluate all the possible design paths and eventually provides with the optimal path, that will be most suitable & accurate path for reconnaissance. For reconnaissance there are some factors that are being considered i.e. Target values, effective reconnaissance path, survivability, cost of reconnaissance, fuel cost, threat cost, the major problem that we are focusing on is to observe as much target information as possible with shortest possible distance and with low risk of threat at the midway. As already said that for using this problem PSO or Particle Swarm Optimization technique is applied to get the results using MATLAB coding. We did few modifications on the simple basic algorithm of PSO as our problem was mainly focused on discrete optimization. Swap Operator and Swap Sequence is used into PSO. Firstly, we initialized the particle swarm i.e. gave the random solution and swap sequence to each particles. Then we calculated the individual extremum and global extremum according to the defined objective function above. After this we have calculated the swap sequence according to the modified formulas of updating the velocity and position. Each iteration will give the new solution, to find out which will be the best optimal solution for reconnaissance path planning. Simulations are done. Through our diagrams we saw that it gives the shortest path, when we only considered the total distance of the path, when we considered the effective detection distance it will give the long total distance and long effective detection distance, when we consider each and every factor including threats, we observed the path that has a long effective detection distance and avoids the threat very successfully, although the total distance of the path is comparatively long but it has better large objective/ fitness function. The results of the simulations show the satisfaction of this method.

Keywords: UAV Path Planning, Fixed-point Reconnaissance, Particle Swarm Optimization, Optimal Path, Shortest Distance, Threat avoidance, Target Information, Swap Sequence.

Specialized Tools: Software; MATLAB, (Hardware implementation is unconcluded at the moment.)

Development of a Decision Making Frame Work for an Unmanned Aircraft in an Uncertain Environment

Mehmood Ul Hassan, Muhammad Arslan Shahid Aeronautics and Astronautics Department Institute of Space Technology [email protected], [email protected]

Abstract: In present age, the use of quadcopters or drones is extensively increased in various fields such as real estate and construction, aerial photography, shipping and delivery, geographic mapping. This project was chosen in order to enhance our knowledge about quadcopters functioning, technology and its implementation in uncertain environment and in order to have better understanding and working of path planning and obstacle avoidance, also to have better understanding of some new softwares e.g. Ubuntu, Gazebo and Blender. For forest road mapping in order to reconstruct the road for its maintenance, to make UAV able to detect and avoid all upcoming obstacles in its path of motion in forest environment that is uncertain and to complete its mission using path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms. Actually a decision making framework for UAV is to design in order to perform obstacle avoidance based upon path planning and obstacle avoidance algorithms. For this project three different kinds of softwares i.e. MATLAB, Ubuntu and Blender have been used. The environment is designed that is programmed in Ubuntu and then shown in Gazebo. The 3D model is designed in Blender software. Various components i.e. GPS, Barometer, Laser scanner, inertial measurement unit and camera are installed on the quadcopter in Gazebo software. Manual controller, autonomous controller altitude controller and also both the path planning and obstacle avoidance controllers are made in MATLAB Simulink and with these controllers quadcopter will plan its path of motion by using these controllers algorithm and avoid all hurdles or obstacles in its path and will complete its mission profile as in our case mapping for forest road maintenance and reconstruction. The selected UAV completed its whole mission profile in partially known environment by avoiding all static obstacles with the help of designed path planning and obstacle avoidance controllers or algorithms made in MATLAB Simulink, showing that the controllers are accurate and giving good results. Hence, path following and obstacle avoidance are possible and can help in road reconstruction and maintenance.

Keywords: Framework, uncertain environment, , GPS, Barometer, Laser scanner, inertial measurement unit and camera obstacle avoidance, path planning, algorithms, implementation, detect and avoid obstacles controllers, mapping, maintenance, road reconstruction.

Specialized Tools: We used MATLAB, Linux window Ubuntu, Gazebo and ROS packages and Blender software.
