Python for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Author: Alex Kenan
Publisher: Alex Kenan
ISBN: 1736060600
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 210

Book Description
The traditional computer science courses for engineering focus on the fundamentals of programming without demonstrating the wide array of practical applications for fields outside of computer science. Thus, the mindset of “Java/Python is for computer science people or programmers, and MATLAB is for engineering” develops. MATLAB tends to dominate the engineering space because it is viewed as a batteries-included software kit that is focused on functional programming. Everything in MATLAB is some sort of array, and it lends itself to engineering integration with its toolkits like Simulink and other add-ins. The downside of MATLAB is that it is proprietary software, the license is expensive to purchase, and it is more limited than Python for doing tasks besides calculating or data capturing. This book is about the Python programming language. Specifically, it is about Python in the context of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Did you know that Python can be used to model a satellite orbiting the Earth? You can find the completed programs and a very helpful 595 page NSA Python tutorial at the book’s GitHub page at https://www.github.com/alexkenan/pymae.

Engineering Analysis of Flight Vehicles

Author: Holt Ashley
Publisher: Courier Corporation
ISBN: 0486166538
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 402

Book Description
"Written by one of the leading aerospace educators of our time, each sentence is packed with information. An outstanding book." — Private Pilot "Illuminated throughout by new twists in explaining familiar concepts, helpful examples and intriguing ‘by-the-ways.’ A fine book." — Canadian Aeronautics and Space Journal This classic by a Stanford University educator and a pioneer of aerospace engineering introduces the complex process of designing atmospheric flight vehicles. An exploration of virtually every important subject in the fields of subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic aerodynamics and dynamics, the text demonstrates how these topics interface and how they complement one another in atmospheric flight vehicle design. The mathematically rigorous treatment is geared toward graduate-level students, and it also serves as an excellent reference. Problems at the end of each chapter encourage further investigation of the text’s material, the study of fresh ideas, and the exploration of new areas.
