Recent break throughs in the development of (low cost light -weight) honecomb energy absorbers for automotive bumper systems now make it possible to design a cost-effective low peak force bumper system which can be designed to transmit an extremely low shock level to vehicle occupants. one of cac's… More

Concept analysis corporation (cac) proposes to develop a new analytical approach for the fracture characterization of fiberreinforced composites. the basic physical failure modes in the form of; fiber breakage, matrix cracks, fiber-matrix interface debond, fiber pullout, and matrix yielding (which… More

Concept analysis corporation (cac) proposes to develop a computeraided design and manufacturing (cadcam) - based missile geometry package. the current process of producing three-dimensional descriptions of missile systems and unmanned aerial vehicles is timeconsuming and needs to be automated. cac… More

Concept analysis corporation (cac) proposes to determine the feasibility of fabricating self deploying space structures which do not use actuators. in phase i, cac will evaluate the characteristics of the plastic memory phenomena which could be used as a self deploying mechanism. phase ii is… More

It is desired to reduce both the cost and the weight of the current m855 cartridge. the cartridge case is the most viable component of the assembly in which significant improvement can be made. concept analysis corporation (cac) proposes herein a prototype design of the new m855 cartridge. this… More

Occupant injury can be significantly reduced by the incorporation of padding of hard surfaces in vehicle interiors. several interior hard surfaces such as roof header, a-pillar, and b-pillar are difficult to pad due to limited space. wat is needed is an inflatable plastic bi-layer that could be… More
