    A Calculate Third Octave Band Response from Narrowband Data

    I have a signal that I am able to calculate through an acoustic model for airfoil noise. I am told that the model solves for a narrowband frequency response, however, my measurement data is provided in third-octave band representation. How do I convert my current dataset to the third octave...

    Fortran Solve FORTRAN READ Problems: Troubleshooting & Manual

    Thank you so much! It seems to be working! I guess the error shouldve been self explanatory but since I have no working knowledge of fortran I didnt know the syntax that I needed to get the programme working. Just to add, however, I was using gfortran not gcc. I don't know if that made a...

    Fortran Solve FORTRAN READ Problems: Troubleshooting & Manual

    Hi, I'm having trouble with some FORTRAN code I'm trying to use. I receive an error: At line 769 of file ../src/mpolar.f (unit = 11, file = 'polarx.387') Fortran runtime error: Sequential READ or WRITE not allowed after EOF marker, possibly use REWIND or BACKSPACE Upon inspection...

    How to Compile MSES Software with Unexpected Syntax in Fortran?

    Thank you Solkar. What do you mean by using non standard names? I'm new to fortran and wouldn't say I'm keen to learn it. I just need to use the programme for some work. After using your suggestion it seemed to have compiled correctly although now I have some problems with additional...

    How to Compile MSES Software with Unexpected Syntax in Fortran?

    Hello, I'm trying to compile some software called MSES, its written by Mark Drela in some fortran flavour. I've successfully compiled a number of subroutines through make files but there is one subroutine giving me grief. It's called dplot.f. It has a strage syntax I can't seem to work...

    Royal Air Force to kickstart Aerospace career

    I was thinking of joining the RAF as an Engineering Officer not a pilot so that I could use my undergraduate engineering degree? The reason I looked at the UK is because of my EU citizenship which I'd have thought would make it more accessible than say Canada or Australia.

    Royal Air Force to kickstart Aerospace career

    I'm about to start my final year of Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering here is South Africa but as far as my options are for jobs in the Aeronautical field (which I'm interested in) they are limited to manufacturing and maintenance. Because of this I'm thinking of joining the RAF after my...

    How Does Adding a Mass Impact Vibration Amplitude in an Undamped System?

    That makes sense actually. So assuming that I go delta_st=F0/k=(150+12)*9.81/3000=0.52974 X1=delta_st*-5,836x10^-4=-0.000309 so then I'm assuming the changed displacement amplitude will be the difference between measured and X1 from calculations. so X1'=-0.000309+0.0002=-0.000109mOh and...

    How Does Adding a Mass Impact Vibration Amplitude in an Undamped System?

    Homework Statement An air compressor of mass m1 = 150 kg is mounted on a spring of stiffness k1= 3000 N/m. The measured displacement amplitude X1 = 0.0002 m at the operating speed of N = 1800 r/min. If an undamped isolation system with mass m2=12 kg and a natural frequency w2 = 105 rad/s...

    Continuum Mechanics: Check if fluid flow is real

    Homework Statement see attachment. Homework Equations Navier Stokes continuity equation: The Attempt at a Solution So what I tried to do was to use the above equation to see if it equals zero. del(rho)/del(t)=del(xyz-t)/del(t) =-1 then to make the deriving easier...

    I-beam Shear Force calculation

    Thanks. Its just that I had exactly the same question as the OP which I thought was interesting. Anywyas I figured it was just a different method of calculation.

    I-beam Shear Force calculation

    I know this is really old but I have exactly the same issue! I'll be asking my lecturer within the week though. I think it has to do with the thickness value used though... lol

    How Can I Solve This Differential Equation Involving Trigonometric Functions?

    Gah! My bad :( I feel quite stupid now... The exercise is on integrating factors and I didn't see that O_o Thanks vela for clearing up integrating factors for me :D so to continue... ∫1/(1-y)dy=∫cosxdx -ln(1-y)=sinx+c 1-y=Ae^(-sinx), A=e^c -y=Ae^(-sinx)-1 y=-Ae^(-sinx)+1 which according to...
