Academic calling for unified research on supersonic aircraft.
Supersonic Effects on Rivets book published
Research useful for military applications, commercial aircraft, practicing aerospace/aeronautical engineers, materials scientists, metallurgical engineers, universities, colleges, higher education, schools and students.
Potential boom in future supersonic air travel needs to be safe
UNSW Science has created an article regarding the book including some discussions Professor Melhem is currently having with NASA. It discusses the Concorde fatality, and also important design issues not addressed even after the Concorde crash.
Supersonic Effects on Rivets
This book is authored by Professor Melhem (lead author), and his co-authors Professor Munroe (prior Deputy Dean of Science) & Mr. Vithal (Aerospace student). It has been published by Taylor & Francis (New York, USA) on the 1st of November 2024, and it is titled "Supersonic Effects on Rivets".
"......This book will be useful for military applications, commercial aircraft, practicing aerospace/aeronautical engineers, material scientists, metallurgical engineers, universities, colleges, higher education, schools and students"
"....This book presents some deliberations that would open the way for further considerations of both temperature and material characteristics, ultimately for a new generation of supersonic aircraft as the concorde once afforded us."
