The two-axis solar array drive is used to keep the solar array normal to thesun’s rays. Lithium Ion batteries are used for power storage. S-band is used for TT&C, V-bandfor X-link antennas and Ku-band D-link. Because of large X-link and D-link data, large on-board processing capacity is required. The feed array temperature gradient has to be kept in avery narrow range because of dimensional stability requirements. Table 6 gives the spacecraftmass budget. The estimated mass is based on the selection and use of actual equipment masses.The technology drivers for the spacecraft are payload, structures, and on

With buildings over 200 meters tall,wind loads rater than earthquake loads determine the design of the main structural members.Design wind loads were determined in wind tunnel experiments7.As an additional measure to assure the comfort of the occupants, two tuned mass dampers(TMDs) were installed on the roof to reduce wind-induced motion. A pendulum weighting 50 t iscomputer-controlled so that its swing period counteracts that of the building. The devices wereinstalled in opposite corners of the roof. When the average wind velocity is approximately 20m/s, the TMDs reduced the response acceleration of the building by 50

This paper gives some background, a broad overview of the TC report,the comments about it, and the status of the issue.BackgroundIn the 1950’s and early 1960’s, most five-year programs in existence were beingphased out as the engineering programs, in general, were reducing credit requirements.The reduction was accomplished by elimination of many skill courses (such asdrafting) and some courses were pushed back into high school. When this transitionwas taking place, many engineering educators justified the reduction in credits byarguing that a master’s degree would become

The students are lead to the conclusion that the composite cylinders are in general plane motion and, although their total masses are roughly equal, their mass moments of inertia are not equal. Therefore, the mass moment of inertia of the composite cylinders will determine the winner and this property is calculated for each composite cylinder: 1.

Calculate each component’s mass moment of inertia, · Solid core, I core = ½ mcore rcore (1) · Shell, I shell = m shell rshell (2

, it began with the teacher performing some engaging demonstrationsabout heat transfer. In these demonstrations, the teacher modeled the experimental methods asthe “more knowledgeable other,” and students were shown how to undertake these methods ontheir own in teams.21 The teacher then elicited discussions and reflections on the discrepantevents students witness as s/he and the students “talked science.” The teacher described howexperiments are conducted with controls and a variable, and got students to identify theindependent and dependent variables and the controls. The teacher introduced the concept of heatby first finding out what students thought about it. Then presented the concepts of conduction,convection, and radiation, and performed

preventstudents from finding out answers from those who took the exam earlier. But, if sectionsare taught back to back, the danger is minimized. If out-of-class common exams arescheduled, it is eliminated. Then a single exam can be used, which will save severalhours in creating the exam, and save grading time as well, due to lower startup overhead.Reason #4: Less web site/LMS overhead. Teaching one class means only one course website, and only one course to set up in a learning management system. The sameassignments, grade weights and policies apply to all sections.Reason #5: Fewer meetings of course staff. In most courses, it’s necessary to meet withTA(s) once a week, and this meeting may last an hour. In multi-section courses, a singlemeeting
