Due: Generally 11:59 PM, Thursday, October 18th. Check eCampus for the exact submission date/time for Post-Activity 7.2.1 INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT: See the course syllabus for a definition of what constitutes an individual assignment. Task 1 (of 2) OBJECTIVE: Practice using matrices and plotting functions in Matlab.
Description: The company you are interning for has created a new aircraft design but they need to do some computations in order to verify the designs performance. They have called for your expertise in aeronautics and Matlab to create a program that will compute and plot the drag force, as well as the induced drag component for different values of V (speed). Since you are now in AAE 626 (Turbulence and Turbulence Modeling), you are a little rusty on your basic equations. After a look through your thorough AAE 251 notes, these are the equations that you think you will need: Cl = L / (0.5 * * V2 * S) (Equation for coefficient of lift) D0 = 0.5 * * V2 * S * Cd0 (Equation for parasitic drag force) Di = k1 * Cl2 * 0.5 * * V2 * S (Equation for induced drag) D = D0 + Di (Equation for total drag force) You realize that your plots will have to be: speed on the x-axis and total drag force and induced drag force on the y-axis. You are given the following values: AR = 3 (aspect ratio) Cd0 = 0.018 (parasitic drag coefficient) k1 = 0.09896 ( a useful coefficient) e = 0.9 (efficiency factor) S = 610 ft^2 (surface area) = 1.066E^(-3) slugs/ft^3 (density) L = 1000 lb (lift generated)

Since this is a general aviation aircraft, you will only need to plot for speeds from 10 ft/s to 350 ft/s with increments of 5ft/s. The aircraft is flying at constant altitude and level flight so you do not need to worry about changing density or lift. No inputs are needed; you should hard code all the values. The graph you need to deliver will have two plots on it, so make sure that the chief engineer will be able to tell the different between the two!

Task 2 (of 2) OBJECTIVE: Use plotting to present engineering problem solving graphically. Youngs modulus, density, and melting point are important material properties. Youngs modulus (in GPa) reflects how much a material stretches when a load is applied; melting point (in Kelvin) gives the temperature at which a material transform from solid to liquid, normally at 1 atmospheric pressure; density is the mass a material divided by its volume (g/cm3). These three material properties all determined by the interaction force between atoms, ions or molecules that compose that material, thus they are related with each other. In this assignment, you first need to find all three properties for each material and then graphically present the three properties and provide a reasonable conclusion to your graphs.
Part A: Use matweb.com to find the density, Youngs modulus, and melting point of the

materials listed in the following table. You may need to convert the melting point in Celsius into Kelvin. Copy and paste your table into a Word document and save it as: PA_7_2_1_Task2_NETID.docx. Materials Density (g/cm3) Youngs modulus Melting point (K) (Modulus of Elasticity) (GPa) 68 933.37

Aluminum(6066-T6) Titanium Copper Steel Tungsten Sapphire Silicon Carbide Diamond

Part B: Save the density, Youngs modulus, and melting point of the listed materials into a file

named material_properties.txt, and then write a MATLAB script to complete the following tasks: 1) Load the materials properties data and assign appropriate variables to represent the columns of your data. 2) Plot density vs. Youngs Modulus, density vs. melting point and Youngs Modulus vs. melting point into the same graph window using subplot command.

Save your file as: PA_7_2_1_Task2_NETID.m 3) Copy your plots into PA_13s_2_1_Task2_NETID.docx and explain your findings in writing. Hint: the load command will not work if there are letters in the .txt file. Submit the file(s): PA_7_2_1_Task1_NETID.m PA_7_2_1_Task2_NETID.m PA_7_2_1_Task2_NETID.docx material_properties.txt to the appropriate box on Blackboard.
