Scaled Composites at AllExperts (890 words) |
 | Scaled Composites (often abbreviated as Scaled), formerly the Rutan Aircraft Factory, is located at the Mojave Spaceport, Mojave, California and is headed by famous aircraft designer Burt Rutan. |
| It is known for interesting designs, for its use of non-metal, composite materials, and for winning the Ansari X Prize with its experimental spacecraft SpaceShipOne. |
| Scaled Composites was established in 1982 and purchased by the Beech Aircraft Corporation in 1985, as a result of the colaboration on the Starship project. |

| A computer code was developed from a model for composite plates that allowed for the variation of structural properties (mass and stiffness) due to the presence of the stiffeners. |
| The nonlinear hysteretic biviscous model is used to identify four physical parameters of the MR damper from the force vs. velocity diagram due to sinusoidal input displacements: pre-yield damping, post-yield damping, yield force, and zero-force velocity intercept. |
| The model uses 3D finite element and equivalent circuit models that are applied to predict the excitation frequency and modal response of the stator. |
