We have formulated a design concept for a passive mechanical grappling device to upright fallen canisters of the type used at the west valley demonstration project (wvdp). in a process environment such as that of wvdp, systems components, themselves, ultimately become radioactive waste. as such,… More

Composite materials offer an opportunity to provide the design of a novel folding wing for guided missiles. the proposed effort will utilize high-strength composites in the development of wings which, in the stowed position, can flatten and wrap around the missile's fuselage. the wings must deploy… More
