{GENERICO:type=course_description,introduction="A course with variable geometry where everyone, we hope, will find personal benefits. The parts can be studied sequentially or independently; and inside each part, elementary learning items can be picked up. Globally, this course proposes a deep knowledge of fundamental dynamics, with possible explicit and implicit applications in structural dynamics, but also in physics and control of any dynamic system (automatics, …). The concepts of static, dynamic, and thermodynamic approaches are defined, followed by the analytical Newtonian foundations of discrete (digital) dynamics. Dynamics is not simply an extension of statics, but another modeling with open possibilities. The basic theorems (Newton‘s equivalence principle, König’ s theorems, conservations) are detailed in the perspective of structural applications. This course opens perspectives towards not only the general dynamics of structures but also towards robotics and control of dynamic systems. These concepts will be learned in a second course (Developments of structural dynamics).", type_course=MOOC, start="December 2021", end="", cost=42€, registration="Open", registration="Open", url_registration=https://www.coursera.org/learn/structural-dynamics-foundation, platform=Coursera, url_platform=https://www.coursera.org/, operator=ISAE-SUPAERO, url_operator=https://www.isae-supaero.fr/en, image= https://online.isae-supaero.fr/resources/catalog/mooc-dynamics.jpg, language="English", duration=4 weeks, modality=Distance learning, learning_time=15h, certification=ISAE-SUPAERO certificate} {GENERICO:type=course_description_section, title="What will you achieve?", text="By the end of the course, you'll be able to:"} {GENERICO:type=course_description_item, item="Understand the basic theorems of structural dynamics and their implications toward complex systems."} {GENERICO:type=course_description_item, item="Master their applicability to discrete systems and applications to digital modeling in dynamics."}{GENERICO:type=course_description_section_end} {GENERICO:type=course_description_section, title="What topics will you cover?", text="This course sums up the foundation of solid dynamics applied to structural analysis."} {GENERICO:type=course_description_item, item="In a first item, we analyze the principle of equivalence which allows passing from statics to dynamics."} {GENERICO:type=course_description_item, item="The second point presents shock and vibration, the heart of dynamics.

More than one century after Wright brothers first fly, flight still defy out intuition. You will learn here how planes do fly, how pilots can control their trajectory, and what happens if they fly too low or too fast. Turning, stalling, computing a range or sizing a wing will no longer have any secret for you. More based on explanations than on mathematic demonstration, this course makes an extensive use of diagrams, animations, actual airplane pictures and video, and even flight experimentations on our own airplanes and full flight simulator

This course focuses on the physics of the atmosphere and its consequences on speed and altitude measurements. At the end of this course, you will understand precisely the meaning of the speed and altitude indication available to the pilot of an airplane. You will understand the difference between standard and actual atmosphere and be able to perform basic altitude and speed correction computations. You will understand why jet airliners need to be pressurized, or why a clogged Pitot tube can mislead a pilot. Although some math equations are used from time to time to justify certain results. This course insists on curve shapes, figures, tables, and you can efficiently follow it while skipping the equation-solving parts if you do not fancy them. 

In this course, you will understand the influence of the angle of attack and speed on the lift. Then we will focus on hazards and limitations, like stall, spiral dive, or flutter. You will understand why stall phenomenon and Mach number limit the maximum lift and altitude the airplane can achieve. Then, you must understand what is flutter and why the altitude and speed of the airplane must be restricted to a safe domain. In the end, we will explain how to control the trajectory of the airplane and the relation with lift and load factor. 

This course is dedicated to energy management, i.e. speed and altitude control. The various sources of drag are first described and modeled, as well as thrust origin, and evolution with speed and altitude. Using these models, we can evaluate the propulsive balance and derive important concepts like flight regimes, best climb speed, or propulsion ceiling. We take then a glance at cruise performances and the evolution of range with weight.
