Introduction to Finite Elements in Engineering by Tirupathi R. Chandrupatla

The first edition of this book appeared over 10 years ago and the second edition followed a few years later. We received positive feedback from professors who taught from the book and from students and practicing engineers who used the book. We also benefited from the feedback received from the students in our courses for the past 20 years. We have incorporated several suggestions in this edition. The underlying philosophy of the book is to provide a clear presentation of theory, modeling, and implementation into computer programs. The pedagogy of earlier editions has been retained in this edition.

New material has been introduced in several chapters. Worked examples and exercise problems have been added to supplement the learning process. Exercise problems stress both fundamental understanding and practical considerations. Theory and computer programs have been added to cover acoustics, axisymmetric quadrilateral elements, conjugate gradient approach, and eigenvalue evaluation. Three additional programs have now been introduced in this edition. All the programs have been developed to work in the Windows environment. The programs have a common structure that should enable the users to follow the development easily. The programs have been provided in Visual Basic, Microsoft Excel/Visual Basic, MATLAB, together with those provided earlier in QBASIC, FORTRAN and C. The Solutions Manual has also been updated.

Kerbal Space Program -A space game and space simiulator

Kerbal Space Program is a game and a simulation. It’s another Steam Early Access title, which allows players to purchase the game now and experience how it evolves as it undergoes further development. Even though it is under an early phase, what it has is a whole lot of premise. The first thing to understand about Kerbal Space Program, is although it does appear incredibly cute at times, it is a complicated game. The game puts the player in the role of a manager of a space program and the point is to perform missions that places Kerbals, these short little green guys, into space. All of that is performed by designing spacecraft, putting it on the launch pad, and then sending it into space. It all sounds simple enough, but with Kerbal Space Program modelling physics in a good amount of detail, mastering this simulation might not make you a rocket scientist, but closer to one than many would expect.

Indian launch vehicles info

Launch Vehicles are used to transport and put satellites or spacecrafts into space. In India, the launch vehicles development programme began in the early 1970s. The first experimental Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-3) was developed in 1980. An Augmented version of this, ASLV, was launched successfully in 1992. India has made tremendous strides in launch vehicle technology to achieve self-reliance in satellite launch vehicle programme with the operationalisation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).

PSLV represents ISRO's first attempt to design and develop an operational vehicle that can be used to orbit application satellites. While SLV-3 secured for India a place in the community of space-faring nations, the ASLV provided the rites of passage into launch vehicle technology for ISRO. And with PSLV, a new world-class vehicle has arrived. PSLV has repeatedly proved its reliability and versatility by launching 63satellites / spacecrafts ( 28 Indian and 35 Foreign Satellites) into a variety of orbits so far.

ISRO also makes the Rohini series of sounding rockets used by the Indian and international scientific community to launch payloads to various altitudes for atmospheric research and other scientific investigations. These rockets are also used to qualify some of the critical systems used for advanced launch vehicles

Geopolitical and economic considerations during the 1960s and 1970s compelled India to initiate its own launch vehicle programme. During the first phase (1960s–1970s) the country successfully developed a sounding rockets programme, and by the 1980s, research had yielded the Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 and the more advanced Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV), complete with operational supporting infrastructure. ISRO further applied its energies to the advancement of launch vehicle technology resulting in the creation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) andGeosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) technologies.

Sun-scorched Mercury is only slightly larger than Earth's Moon. Like the Moon, Mercury has very little atmosphere to stop impacts, and it is covered with craters. Mercury's dayside is super-heated by the sun, but at night temperatures drop hundreds of degrees below freezing. Ice may even exist in craters. Mercury's egg-shaped orbit takes it around the sun every 88 days.

It is often said that the Sun is an "ordinary" star. That's true in the sense that there are many others similar to it. But there are many more smaller stars than larger ones; the Sun is in the top 10% by mass. The median size of stars in our galaxy is probably less than half the mass of the Sun.

curiosity is a car-sized robotic rover exploring Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission

Curiosity transformed from its stowed flight configuration to a landing configuration while the MSL spacecraft simultaneously lowered it beneath the spacecraft descent stage with a 20 m (66 ft) tether from the "sky crane" system to a soft landing—wheels down—on the surface of Mars. After the rover touched down it waited 2 seconds to confirm that it was on solid ground then fired several pyros (small explosive devices) activating cable cutters on the bridle to free itself from the spacecraft descent stage. The descent stage then flew away to a crash landing, and the rover prepared itself to begin the science portion of the mission
