Research will be carried out to investigate the feasibility of chemically bonded ceramics (cbc) based on high strength cements as replacement materials in various high technology applications. advanced cements have strengths at least an order of magnitude higher than conventional cement products.… More

The object of the proposed research is to identify the potential uses of castable cementitious composite material in roles such as fragment armor, bunker protection or helicopoter armor. the material sciences effort will be carried out at cemcom; the test effort will be carried out at the university… More

Research will be carried out to demonstrate the unique value of chemically bonded ceramics (cbc) as materials for fabrication of mechanical deterrents to sympathetic detonation of munitions. cbc materials will be formulated and characterized for shock attenuating properties and fragment capture or… More

A series of innovative materials and composite wall design concepts will be identiied to prevent sympathetic detonation in a new weapons storage system. this will be done in five steps. the engineering design parameters will be estimated. novel materials and innovative design concepts will be… More

The mechanism of convective heating induced spall formation in airfield pavements will be studied. the objective will be to determine the important parameters related to designing heat resistant pavements while maintaining or improving resistance to fuel, hydraulic fluid and de-icing chemicals. the… More

1Low cost, automated fabrication of composite components for submarine use is proposed that allows limited quantities of parts to be produced in an efficient and cost effective manner. The method relies on intergration of computer based automated pattern fabrication technology such as… More

A technology is being examined that utilizes residue from advanced so2 control technology coal-combustion systems in the separation of waste emulsified oil, and the subsequent introduction of the solidified material to a cement plant as an inorganic raw feed and low grade fuel. phase i examines the… More

Three methods are proposed for making net shape high temperature mandrels to form chemically vapor deposited nickel shell tooling based on solid freeform fabrication (sff) models. the three methods are distinguished by the number of generations or replications the nickel shell will be from the sff… More
