This paper intends to present the conceptual design of very light jet (VLJ) aircraft in the university level. The design process that covers by this paper is just from conceptual approach. Current technical information of the business jet in the market will be studied for competitor analysis purpose. After that, the calculation process will take pa...

Non-linear finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit was employed to evaluate the energy absorption characteristics of concentric circular tubes subjected to impact in the axial direction. Thin-walled circular tube plays a vital role as energy absorber due to its high energy absorption capacity. However, the main drawback of existing tube type energy abs...

This paper discusses the design of light jet aircraft (LJA) in the university level. The design process that covers by this paper is just from conceptual approach. Current technical information of the light jet aircraft in the market will be studied for competitor analysis purpose. After that, the calculation process will take part, like initial si...

In the 3-D shape of specular surface measurement, reconstruction of the shape is needed. This paper describes a method of shape reconstruction of specular surface using normal vectors. The normal vectors of the surface are extracted by five degrees of freedom camera system. A normal vector is said to be found when the alignment between the camera a...
