Aerospace dynamics. [ LMECA2830 ]

> https://icampus.uclouvain.be/claroline/course/index.php?cid=MECA2830

• Analytical mechanics
• applied mathematics.

• Universal gravitation and applications.
• Aircraft dynamics : equilibrium, stability and control.
• Launchers.
• Satellite orbits and attitude stability.

In consideration of the reference table AA of the program " Master's degree civil engineer mechanics ", this course contributes to the development, to the acquisition and to the evaluation of the following experiences of learning:

• AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3
• AA2.1, AA2.2, AA2.3
• AA3.1, AA3.3
• AA5.1, AA5.2, AA5.4
• AA6.1, AA6.2

Introduce students to the specific issues of aircraft dynamics, launcher systems and dynamics, and satellite dynamics.

Written exam in 2 parts:

• theoretical questions
• exercises

• Summary of rigid body mechanics.
• Aircraft dynamics : aerodynamic loads, translational and rotational dynamics, steady state motion, propulsion, stability, controls.
• Launcher dynamics and staging optimisation.
• Satellite dynamics : orbits, transfers, rendezvous, attitude stability.

• B. ETKIN Dynamics of Flight - Stability and Control.
• L. GEORGE, J-F VERNET, J-C WANNER La mécanique du vol.
• J.W. CORNELISSE, H.F.R. SCHÖYER, K.F. WAKKER Rocket Propulsion and Spaceflight.
