The book is intended for students in engineering school or university, young engineers or newcomers in the automotive industry or aeronautics. The objective is to describe in a simple and clear way the problem of energy and motorization for the automobile, helicopters or airplanes. The front-end treatment of these industrial sectors makes it possible to analyze in an original way the similarities and differences of these different means of transport. For this, and based on current technologies and tomorrow, it specifically describes the problem of the energy requirement of cars and aircraft. The result is a search for an ideal motorization associated with the behavior of these different means of transport followed by the analysis of the performances of the various types of engines by covering gas turbines, internal combustion engines and electric motors. Transmission elements such as aerospace gearboxes or gearboxes are described as well as a chapter on energy storage means and their performance including batteries, supercapacitors, inertial or pneumatic storage, hydrogen or fuels from fossil fuels. A final chapter shows the interest and prospects of energy hybridization and electrification for the progressive replacement of fossil fuels. Beyond the technological descriptions, the book focuses on proposing basic sizing rules in order to justify certain performances and to give the reader the means to appropriate the basic know-how of these industrial sectors.

The development of autonomous vehicles represents a major technological breakthrough, revolutionizing mobility through the integration of advanced technologies at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), mechatronics and control sciences. This heralds a new era of disruptive innovation for the automotive and aerospace industries.Autonomous Vehicles offers an in-depth, structured analysis of the scientific and technical challenges associated with autonomy, while also addressing the industrial, societal, legal and safety issues specific to the automotive and aerospace sectors. This book presents the key functions of automated driving and piloting, sensor technologies and their role in environmental perception, as well as data processing and exploitation strategies based on conventional algorithmic approaches and techniques derived from AI.This detailed book offers concrete examples from industrial use cases, offering a rigorous and up-to-date overview of a rapidly changing field, grounded in close collaboration between academia and industry.

This book presents a study of the stability of mechanical systems, i.e. their free response when they are removed from their position of equilibrium after a temporary disturbance. After reviewing the main analytical methods of the dynamical stability of systems, it highlights the fundamental difference in nature between the phenomena of forced resonance vibration of mechanical systems subjected to an imposed excitation and instabilities that characterize their free response. It specifically develops instabilities arising from the rotor–structure coupling, instability of control systems, the self-sustained instabilities associated with the presence of internal damping and instabilities related to the fluid–structure coupling for fixed and rotating structures. For an original approach following the analysis of instability phenomena, the book provides examples of solutions obtained by passive or active methods.
