Analysis of the Transmissibility of Induced Vibration in Solid Propellant Rocket Motors during Transport

Camargo EA*, D´Andrade Souto C and Aguiar DS
The choice of packaging for the transport of sensitive cargoes can influence the propagation of vibrations produced by the vehicles and the roads used during transport operations. This article presents a study of the transmissibility of vibrations in the phases of terrestrial and air transport of a rocket engine and its parts. During measurements, the parameters were monitored at intervals of five minutes...

Influence of Sleep Disorders and Fatigue over Aircrew

Costa Filho PSS1* and Missoni E2
The performance of aircrew is subject to multiple factors that may interfere with human alertness, cognitive functions, and the ability to make tough decisions. The workload and flight,routines of aircrew make them subject to sleep disorders and excessive fatigue that may compromise their dexterity and, consequently, their life quality and the safe and secure aircraft operation....

No Sky for Old Men? Cognitive and Psychomotor Factors of Licensing 60+ Pilots for Single-Pilot Aircrafts

Tarnowski A1* and Galazkowski R2
A practical need of evidence-based criteria for assessing individual permission for piloting single,pilot aircrafts after 60 years was an inspiration to perform research and formulate a guideline,for psychological examination. Due to lack of empirical data from active 60+ pilots we analysed,cognitive, intellectual and psychomotor performance of over 3000 professional drivers aged 18-76,years...
