Calling all Systems Engineers in Aerospace. Senior engineering leaders from Hermeus and ABL Space Systems, home to some of the fastest-moving hardware teams, will share their learnings on implementing a fast, iterative design process in aerospace. A no-fluff webinar, focused on real-world, hard-earned insights, and practical tips. May 28th. https://lnkd.in/d5v2kP4H

New post: Presentation for APEC – Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference 2023.10.28 Here is the presentation which I gave at APEC 2023.10.28 online on Youtube about the ideas exposed in the optical unification post from last March Title: "Optical Unification and Gravitoinertial Engineering"

I just wanted to share my recent activity at Hyperlink and all the progress that my team has made in the past months. Not going to lie, it was some exhausting weeks. After conducting all the Linear Induction Motor simulations in COMSOL on the HPC, we were finally ready to assemble the test rig and build the system in real life. 2 different LIM configurations were winded on the stator. However, we forgot to use the star configuration to connect it to the power supply. So if the current were to be engaged, the wires would melt... In the end, my Propulsion lead Shay, managed to use the star configuration and finally connect the motor which was a huge relief for us. On the braking team's side, everything went smoothly and we managed to test the old eddy current system which can be seen in the video below. Moreover, my Braking lead Tarren succeded in building emergency frictional brakes. Overall, we've spent 3 weeks building and testing the system at our workshop. We still have room for improvement but our progress has been immense. This team-leading experience revealed how important practical work is in engineering and how it enhances the understanding of complex theoretical concepts. Lastly, we transferred all our work to a 60-page document for the European Hyperloop Week competition. If anyone is interested I can always have an interesting chat with you =)))

NEW JOURNAL PAPER! :-) right now there is a big debate about handling risk and develop resilient systems. One way to mitigate risk is to limit the number of interfaces between elements (ie.g. a cable connection in a car). But what about situations in which risk in created when there is NO DIRECT contact between elements (e.g. electromagnetic interference)? We looked at this problem in our new paper, and applied a new modelling approach in a case study together with Volvo Cars. (a steer-by-wire system). However, the approach can be extended to other types of systems. Hope you will find it inspiring :-) Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/d7cvWFGV Thanks to the co-authors Iñigo Alonso Fernández and Ola Isaksson.

Happening now! Our annual gathering of almost 400 engineers and scientists to discuss the latest in modeling and simulation of ground systems. I also shared the Army’s digital engineering policy and where investments are needed. #digitalengineering The Automotive Research Center 2024
