3. Tensors : Vectors of Second Order Second order vectors are more complex constructs. The three projections of this tensor, onto coordinate axes are obtained by inner product. These projections are vectors (not scalars!). In array form the three components of a tensor A are vectors denoted by

4. where each vector  i has three components therefore  is written in the matrix form

5. Pseudo Tensor Product The tensor product is a product of two or more vectors, where the unit vectors are not subject to scalar or vector operation. Consider the following tensor operation: The result of this purely mathematical operation is a second order tensor with nine components: The operation with any tensor such as the above second order one acquires a engineering use if it is multiplied with a vector (or another tensor).

6. Einstein's Notation for creation of a tensor A tensor can be written as dyadic product. Dyadic product of two vectors is a tensor such that Dyadic product has the following properties

7. Scalar product of Tensor with a vector Rearranging the unit vectors and the components separately: It is important to note that in the above equation, the unit vector e k must be scalar multiplied with the closest unit vector namely e i. The result of this operation is a vector with the same direction as vector b.

8. Variants of Scalar product of a vector & Tensor Different results are obtained if the positions of the terms in a dot product of a vector with a tensor are reversed.

9. Differential Operator  The spatial differential operator,  (nabla, del) which has a vector character. In Cartesian coordinate system, the operator nabla is defined as: The material acceleration is:

10. Scalar Product of  and V: Comma convention A subscript comma followed by an index indicates partial differentiation with respect to each coordinate. Summation and range conventions apply to indices following a comma as well. E.g. in 3D space:

11. Vector Product  × V This operation is called the rotation or curl of the velocity vector v. Its result is a first-order tensor or a vector quantity. Using the index notation, the curl of v is written as:

12. Tensor Product of  and V This operation is called the gradient of the velocity vector V. Its result is a second tensor. Using the index notation, the gradient of the vector v is written as:

13. The components of Gradient of A vector

15. An Engineering Domination to Natural Experts Flying Faster ??????????????? Isn’t it very easy to do?????

16. A Research Area, where Group Efforts were Major Failures…… The Wright brothers may be the most famous people in the history of aviation for the first aeroplane flight in 1903, but the first ever powered and controlled flights were carried out in lighter-than-air craft before either of the Wright brothers was even born.

17. History of Early Jet Engines Sir Isaac Newton in the 18th century was the first to theorize that a rearward-channeled explosion could propel a machine forward at a great rate of speed. This theory was based on his third law of motion. As the hot air blasts backwards through the nozzle the plane moves forward. Henri Giffard built an airship which was powered by the first aircraft engine, a three-horse power steam engine. It was very heavy, too heavy to fly.

18. Giffard’s Air Ship

19. Performance of Griffard’s Airship The airship successfully flew on the 24th September 1852, launching from the Paris Hippodrome and flying 27km (17 miles) to Elancourt, near Trappes. The small engine was not very powerful and it could not overcome the prevailing winds to allow Giffard to make the return flight. The top speed of Giffard's airship was just six miles per hour. However, he did manage to turn the airship in slow circles, proving that in calm conditions controlled flight was possible.

20. Hiram Maxim -- Triple Biplane In 1894, American Hiram Maxim tried to power his triple biplane with two coal fired steam engines. Maxim began his aerial experiments at Baldwyns Park, England, leading to the construction in 1893 of his enormous biplane Test-Rig, which weighed about 7,000 pounds. The machine's two steam engines each produced 180 h.p. and turned two pusher propellers each 17-1/2 feet in diameter. The device was intended to be a test vehicle it was held to a track, preventing it from rising more than a couple of feet.

21. Samuel Langley:Aerodrome Samuel Langley made a model airplanes that were powered by steam engines. In 1896, he was successful in flying an unmanned airplane with a steam-powered engine, called the Aerodrome. It flew about 1 mile before it ran out of steam. Otto in the late 1800's, invented the first gasoline engine. He then tried to build a full sized plane, the Aerodrome A, with a gas powered engine. In 1903, it crashed immediately after being launched from a house boat. <>

23. Kate Carew Interviews the Wright Brothers “Are you manufacturing any racing machines?” “Not just now, but we intend to.” “How much can I buy one for?” “Seven thousand five hundred-dollars.” “Is that all? It doesn’t seem like an outside price for a perfectly good airship?” “Airship!” shouted the Wright brothers indignantly. “Is that the wrong word?” “An airship,” said Wilbur contemptuously, “is a big, clumsy balloon filled with gas.” “Well, I don’t see why your biplane shouldn’t be called an airship, too.” “It’s a flying machine,” said Wilbur. “The name we prefer is ‘flyer,’” said Orville. “An airship would cost $50,000,” said Wilbur. “More like $150,000,” said Orville, and they argued the question.
