Heat Transfer

Last Updated: January 22, 2021

* HT2D was developed to study the heat transfer in two dimensions with prescribed temperatures at the boundaries. In each boundary there are four functions that can describe the evolution of temperature over time.
    - HT2D (Version 2.1.0.)
* HT3D was developed to study the heat transfer in a material that has prescribed temperatures at the faces.
    - HT3D (Version 1.0.0.)

Flight Dynamics and Control

Last Updated: January 22, 2021

* FDA17 was created to analyze the flight dynamics without any influence of a controller. The 4th order Runge-Kutta method was used to solve the differential equation in order to obtain the evolution of quaternions and Euler angles over time.
    - FDA17 (Version 1.0.0.)
       - The link above contains the main program (FDA.exe).
       - An auxiliar C code to generate an input file (discrete values) called data.dat.
       - Input file with parameters to the solver.
* Quaternions - Project [Flight Dynamics Analysis Only]
    - Request File [Written in Portuguese]
* System Analysis - Stability, Controllability and Observability
    - Request File [Written in Portuguese]
* System Analysis and LQR Design
    - Request File [Written in Portuguese]
* Kalman Filter - State Estimator
    - Presentation
    - Report

    - G-SECA

SDOF Systems

Last Updated: January 22, 2021

* This code was developed to analyze the response of a single degree of freedom system using 4th order Runge Kutta method to solve the differential equation.
    - Harmonic Equation Solver (Version 1.0.1.)
