education
T
he Nanyang Technological
University (NTU) has an
active and vibrant research
environment with excellent R&D
infrastructure, including a School
of Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering (MAE) offering an
aerospace engineering programme. The research in MAE
comprises the following broad
areas:
Aerodynamics
Research in aerodynamics is
conducted in a wide variety of
areas, but is currently focused on
two areas: low-Reynolds-number
aerodynamics for Micro and
Nano Air Vehicles (MAV and
NAV) and Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD).
especially in the area of flight dynamics, simulation, and control.
Most of the recent works, with
funding from the government
and industry, are related to various aspects of unmanned aerial
systems.
Propulsion & UAV
Several works on the fundamental study and development
of unconventional and versatile
mini unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAV) are currently underway.
The dynamics of such UAVs
are relatively complex and
may involve flight manoeuvres
that are not normally found in
regular fixed-wing UAVs. Topics
studied include aerodynamicassisted techniques for transition
manoeuvre between hover and
forward cruise flight, perching
manoeuvre dynamics and control, formation flight control, and
swarming coordination.
Smart
materials
Flight dynamics & control
Research in flight mechanics
and control encompasses both
theoretical and application work,
E
stablished in 2009, the
Singapore Institute of
Technology (SIT) is an
initiative of the Ministry of Education, offering undergraduate
degree programmes primarily
for polytechnic graduates. In partnership with various reputable
overseas universities, SIT brings
T
he Agency for Science,
Technology and Research
(A*STAR) leads the way
in fostering world-class scientific
research and talent for a vibrant,
knowledge-based and innovation-driven Singapore. A*STAR
oversees 14 biomedical science,
physical science and engineering
research institutes, as well as six
consortia & centres, located in
Biopolis, Fusionopolis, and their
immediate vicinity. A*STAR sup-
Nanyang Technological University is one of the two
largest public universities in Singapore with the biggest
campus in Singapore
Research in
aerospace materials is currently
focused on the
processing and
fabrication of
composites,
short- and
long-term material properties
to Singapore some of the world’s
top industry-focused degree
programmes targeted at growth
sectors of the economy.
Within the framework of its
partnerships with Newcastle
University, TUM, and the
University of Glasgow (among
others), several fields of study,
including aerospace, marine and
offshore, are taking an interest in
ports Singapore’s key economic
clusters by providing intellectual,
human and industrial capital to
its partners in industry. It also
supports extramural research
in universities, hospitals and
research centres, and with other
local and international partners.
In the field of sustainable
materials, A*STAR is involved in
the Composites & Lightweight
Materials thematic strategic
research programme to develop
sustainable materials and
manufacturing processes that are
energy efficient, cost-effective,
non-toxic, recyclable, reusable
and environment-friendly for
structural and functional use
in industry sectors such as
aerospace, automotive, oil &
gas, electronics and building
& construction.The participating organizations are A*Star,
Simtech, NUS and NTU. The

government-subsidized university places and offers students
greater choices in their university
education.
SIT represents a new model
that is set to become a key pillar
of university education. With a
unique tripartite collaboration
between its overseas university
partners and the five local polytechnics, SIT provides additional
of traditional and composite
materials, and effect of temperature and moisture on composite
materials. For research related to
aerospace structures, some of the
current works include constitutive models for damage assessments of composite structures;
the dynamics characteristics of
aerospace structures; and composites of laminate and sandwich
construction that are subjected
to blast loads, impact of foreign
bodies, vibration, and cyclic
loads. Processing techniques and
structural applications of smart
materials, such as bionic selfhealing materials, are also on the
list of current research areas. n
