Master artwork for Air Force systems is traditionally delivered on polyester-based mylar film. This film tends to degrade over time, even when stored in climate-controlled facilities. In addition, drawings must be digitized before circuit boards can be manufactured, which is an expensive and time… More

"ACIT has studied a remotely addressed strain detection system consisting of a passive embedded sensor and a handheld detector, used in either a stationary or portable mode. This Proposal will demonstrate the utility of the strain detection system forspecific advanced composite materials used in… More

ACIT will design and demonstrate a remotely addressed crack/flaw detection system for composite materials. It will consist of a passive embedded sensor and a handheld portable detector, operating on the principle of the coupling of the LC tank circuit withthe behavior of a strain sensitive resistor.… More
