High strength carbon-fiber composite materials continue to have a major limitation in the week bonding achieved betweenthe fiber and the matrix. the results are low interlaminar shear strength and low transverse tensile strength of the fiber. oxidative etchings and coatings have proven most… More

A number of technologies have been identified as critical toachieving the objectives of the advanced rotary combination engine program. among these are a higher hot strength aluminum alloy, a light-weight rotor, and alternate apex seal/trochoid coating materials. a new metal matrix composite, a cast… More

Programs and devices addressing energy balance (EB) available to consumers typically monitor only selected elements of the EB equation such as diet or physical activity (PA). This project will develop a prototype - MyBalance- of an integrated cell phone an d web-based system for near real-time… More
