"Capture" in a lambda expression - C++
A lambda expression is an anonymous, inline function. It is used to create a local function, mainly for passing as an argument to a function call or as a return value.
"Capture" makes variables in the local scope available for use in the body of the lambda expression. By default, variables are captured by value. Variables can be captured by the reference as well. Also, there are syntaxes which allow passing all the local variables and objects into the lambda expression.
What is CAD? What is CAE? and What is CAM? Did you hear about those three terms before? If so, what is the dedicated software, and how do they differ?
The first two letters of each word, "CA" stands for "Computer Aided", which means all three systems are created to help the user to achieve their goals with the power of computers.
In complete words, "D" stands for Design, "E" stands for Engineering and "M" stands for Manufacturing.
Even if you feel all these three terms are similar, that is not. Each one has its objectives.

In geometries, this word is used for shapes that lose their characteristics or that are not generated correctly. Degeneracies can arise due to issues in geometry (parametric) or topology. When parametric space is incompatible with the real world of the geometric model, degeneracy is created. Degeneration can happen not only for edges but also for curves, and faces. Degeneracy is not this kind is not harmful in and of itself. These shapes can be used in Boolean operations, and mesh. Degeneracies that happen after a Boolean operation will cause problems and at that time, we need to be aware of its existence.
Degenerate boundary is an incomplete or zero-area loop, or an incomplete or zero-volume shell.
An operator is a symbol designed to operate on data.
They can be a single symbol, di-graphs, tri-graphs or keywords.
Operators can be classified in different ways.

The basic meaning of the buffer is a memory block of a computer that acts as a temporary placeholder. Buffer is used in different fields and the most common examples are video streaming and RAM. In programming, a software buffer is denoted by a place that keeps data before the process is started. That will be fast rather than data writing in a direct way. People tend to use “buffer” when data is moving around. The reason is that the data will be temporarily placed in a buffer and move to the final destination afterward. When the receiving data rate is different from the processing data rate, buffers are very useful. You will get to know this while video streaming.
Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) is a C++ library that is designed for the production of domain-specific CAD/CAM applications. The most important feature of this library is it is free. But the applicability and capacity of this library are huge. Many open-source CAD/CAM products are based on this. With the help of a huge community and development team, developers, users, researchers, and commercial product developers can use it for different industrial applications, research, and many more.

Computational and experimental investigation of aerodynamics of flapping aero...Lahiru Dilshan
Renewal interest on the exploitation of flapping flight motions to attain high propulsion efficiency of air vehicles is inspired by the aerodynamics of birds’ and insects’ flights. The flapping characteristics can be majorly used to develop micro aerial vehicles (MAV) as this is a lucrative method to generate lift and thrust simultaneously. In this project, the variation of the flow properties and the thrust generation of an airfoil in a flapping (plunging) motion, is evaluated using both computational and experimental methods. The NACA 2412 airfoil was selected for the study and, the computational method was carried out using an inviscid flow model and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, simultaneously to obtain and compare the variation of properties.
The inviscid model was developed using conformal mapping and potential flow theories, and it is capable of producing results for any arbitrary aerofoil. Steady-state results were compared and validated in both CFD and inviscid flow modelling as the computational framework along with flow visualisation and force sensing as the experimental framework. The validated CFD and inviscid models have been developed to produce a plunging motion to the aerofoil and obtain the variation of drag and lift coefficients with time. The experimental setup was designed to obtain the forces acting on the airfoil, and the flow characteristics were visually observed using a flow visualization technique. The force calculations were done through a developed and optimized load cell arrangement. The developed smoke flow visualisation technique is capable of successfully capturing streamline patterns, flow separation regions. These results were compared along with wake development between computational and experimental models. The Level of agreement and limitations of each method have been discussed in this report.
Experimental and numerical stress analysis of a rectangular wing structureLahiru Dilshan
Structures of an aircraft can be categorised as primary structural components and secondary structure components. Primary structure components are the components which lead to failure of the aircraft if such component is failed during the flight cycle. Secondary components are load sharing components in an aircraft but will not pave the way to catastrophic failure.
Designing aircraft structures should follow several strategies to assure safety. For that, there are three main methods used in designing and maintenance procedures. First one is the safe flight, which an aircraft component has a lifetime. That component is not used beyond that limit and should replace though it is not failed. The fail-safe method is another one that redundant systems or components are there to ensure there is another way to carry the load or do necessary control. The final one is the damage tolerance which measures the current damages are within acceptable limit and carry out the main functions until the next main maintenance process.
To determine the safety of a structure component load distribution, stress and strain variation, deflection can be used as parameters to make sure that component can withstand maximum allowable load with safety factor. There are several techniques used to get accurate results as numerical methods, Finite Element Method (FEM) and experimental methods. In the design process, those three steps are followed in an orderly manner to ensure the safety of an aircraft.

Transient three dimensional cfd modelling of ceilng fanLahiru Dilshan
Ceiling fans are used to get thermal comfort, especially in tropical countries. With the increment of the usage of air conditioners, the emission of CO2 is increased. But ceiling fans are a limited solution, that saves much energy compared to air conditioners. Ceiling fans generate a non-uniform velocity profile, so that, there is a non-uniform thermal environment. That non-uniform environment does not imply lower thermal comfort, that will give enough thermal comfort with low energy cost by air velocity. Hence, there will be difficulties of analysing with simple modelling techniques in that environment. So, to predict the performance of the ceiling fan required more accurate models.
The accurate model of a ceiling fan will generate complex geometry that makes difficulties for the simulation process and requires higher computational power. Because of that, there are several methods used to predict the performance of the ceiling fan using mathematical techniques but that will give an estimated value of properties in the surrounding.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Considerations of human factors on commercial aircraft
1. Considerations of Human Factors
on Commercial Aircraft
Flight Deck Control Panels
W.M.K.S. Weerasekara
2. Introduction
Aviation industry has realized that human error, rather than mechanical failure
was the reason most aviation accidents and incidents.
Modern aircraft’s flight deck is called as glass cockpit. Because most of displays
are large LCD display or touch panels rather than traditional analog dials and
gauges.
Consideration of human factors issues early on and throughout the design process
will help to ensure that the displays and controls will support all flight crew
functions, tasks, and decisions.
Mainly Discuss on Display Hardware and Controls
3. Display Hardware
In the flight deck or the cockpit, display must be in correct readable situation
in any light conditions. Sometimes it was difficult to see and read in bright
light conditions in the cockpit.
The display quality and its location are significantly affected to the
readability and information that given.
Discuss on Following Facts
Visual Display Characteristics
Display Placement and Installations
4. Visual Display
Characteristics
The minimum recommended character brightness is 1
cd/m2 (0.3 fL).
The luminance variability at the edge of the display
should be less than or equal to 50% of the luminance in
the center of the display. The variability in the central
80% of the display should be less than or equal to 20%.
To prevent flicker, the minimum refresh rate should be
50 – 60 Hz for CRTs, and the minimum frame rate should
be 30 Hz for LCDs.
5. The delay between the movement of a control and the response to that
movement on the display shall be minimized ( Reposing time should be less
than 3 ms)
The HUD ( Head Up Display) eye box should be at least 4.5 in wide (11.5 cm),
2.5 in (6.5 cm) high, and 6.0 in (15cm) deep. Markings on the HUD should be
illuminated so that they are not confused with external visual details.
Reflections may create a “ghost image,” that is, an undesired duplicate
image which may appear as a false image of the object or an out-of-focus
image of a bright light source in the optical field. Anti-reflective coatings may
prevent the “ghosting” effect.
6. Display Placement and Installations
Visual warnings must be placed in the primary field-of-view. High priority
alarms should be placed in the pilot’s primary field-of-view. If all critical
alerts cannot be placed within 15 degrees, a master warning display is also
appropriate.
Critical functions and attitude, altitude, airspeed and basic level of
navigation (including heading) should be within the pilot’s primary field-of-
view.
Current surface trim position indication may be displayed to the pilot in the
secondary field-of-view.
The nominal viewing distance should be 29 in (737 mm) from the pilot’s
design eye point. Critical displays in the pilot’s field-of-view should have a
minimum viewing distance of 10 in (254 mm); less critical displays may have a
minimum viewing distance of 13 in (330 mm). The maximum viewing distance
should be 40 in (1,016 mm).
7. Primary Field-of-View - With the normal line-of-sight established at 15
degrees below the horizontal plane, the values for the vertical are +/-15
degrees optimum, with +40 degrees up and -20 degrees down maximum. For
the horizontal visual field (relative to normal line-of sight forward of the
aircraft), the values are +/-15 degrees optimum, and +/- 35 degrees
maximum
Secondary Field-of-View is based upon the optimum horizontal and vertical
visual fields from the design eye reference point that can be accommodated
with head rotation. These values are +/- 60 degrees horizontal and + 65 and -
35 degrees vertical.
8. Controls
Conventional aircraft control devices consist of buttons,
knobs, keyboards, and switches, but cursor control devices,
such as a mouse, touchpad, trackball, or joystick are
becoming more frequent.
Each control device has unique characteristics that may
affect the design of the functions being controlled.
When designing controls arrangements, accessibility and
functional directions need to be considered
9. Functional Directions
There are standard directions of movements of the controls that it should be
used for the particular functions.
10. Arrangements and Accessibility
Controls should be designed for nighttime usability (e.g.,
illuminated).
Ensure that hand-operated controls are operable with a
single hand. The remaining hand will then be free to
operate the primary flight controls.
Ensure that controls are operable during vibrations.
Vibrations affect not only the ability of pilots to
intentionally activate a control.
Each cockpit control, other than primary flight controls
and controls whose function is obvious, must be plainly
marked as to its function and method of operation
Control design and placement should avoid the possibility
that visibility of information could be blocked.
11. Each control and control system must operate with the ease, smoothness, and
positiveness appropriate to its function.
A positive indication of control activation should be provided (e.g., by feel,
audible click, or associated light).
If the system response time is greater than 1.0 second, the system should
provide an indication that it is processing.
Apart from above considerations when designing controls such as push
buttons, rotary controls, Switches, Keyboards and Cursor input devices should
maintain their dimensions and characteristics that are standardize by
regulation bodies.
