https://doi.org/10.22034/jast.2018.144792

Abstract
  In this paper simulation of cavitating flow over a disk cavitator is reported using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. To apply the cavitation model, the flow has been considered as a single fluid, two-phase mixture. A transport equation model for the local volume fraction of vapor is solved ...  Read More

The main idea is to optimum the volume/weight of the gearbox in 3 directions. So, the optimization process based ...  Read More

Modification in Calibration of Strapdown Inertial Navigation System Due to Compensation of Inherent Error in Fixture Manufacturing

A. Abdoli; Seyed Hossein Taghavi

Volume 11.1, Issue 1 , June 2018, Pages 31-37

https://doi.org/10.22034/jast.2018.145980

Abstract
   It is always easier to measure the deviation of a product from its design commitments, in comparison to making it identical to plan obligations. In this paper, this simple fact is utilized to compensate the inherent error of fixture fabrication by a mathematical modeling of possible sources of ...  Read More

Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Controller for a Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

I. Khabbazi; Vahid Behnamgol

Volume 11.1, Issue 1 , June 2018, Pages 37-45

https://doi.org/10.22034/jast.2018.145987

Abstract
  This paper presents robust nonlinear control law for a quadrotor UAV using fast terminal sliding mode control. Fast terminal sliding mode idea is used for introducing a nonlinear sliding variable that guarantees the finite time convergence in sliding phase. Then in reaching phase for removing chattering ...  Read More
