3-D BRAIDED PREFORMS SHOULD INCREASE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CERAMIC COMPOSITES IN ALL DIRECTIONS; ITS INTERLOCKING FIBER ARCHITECTURE SHOULD BE EFFECTIVE IN ARRESTING CRACKS, AND REMOVING CATASTROPIC FAILURE. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES THE ISUES OF MERGING AN EFFECTIVE REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM WITH AN INEXPENSIVE CERAMIC MATRIX PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY TO DISCOVER A LOW COST MANUFACTURING ROUTE TO HIGH PER ...

THERE IS A NEED TO DEVELOP SPECIAL PURPOSE ALGORITHMS FOR SOLVING ELECTROMAGNETIC COUPLING AND SCATTERING PROBLEMS, THAT WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RECENT ADVANCES IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY. TO THAT END WE PROPOSE A NOVEL ALGORITHM THAT IS BASED ON SOLVING NONLINEAR VOLUME-INTEGRAL EQUATIONS IN THE FREQUENCY-DOMAIN. THIS METHOD APPEARS TO OFFER SEVERAL ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER TECHNIQUES: (A) IT WILL ALLOW ...

NEW TYPES OF ANISOTROPIC MATERAILS, SUCH AS COMPOSITES, CERAMICS, AND HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE, ARE FINDING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT APPLICATIONS IN HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETICS. THESE APPLICATIONS RANGE FROM MICROWAVE AND MILLIMETER-WAVE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND OPTICAL DEVICES TO ANTENNA RADOMES AND RADAR ABSORBER MATERIALS. WHILE THE BASIC THEORY OF THE INTERACTION WITH ANISOTROPIC MATERIALS OF ELEC ...

We propose to develop an Environmental Monitoring System by integrating various technologies to create a hybrid artificial neural network system. By functionally decomposing the requirements of environmental monitoring we can apply emerging technologies to fulfill these modularized requirements. Ten (10) years of experience indicate that the technologies directly applicable to specific requirement ...

Distributed computing is used in a variety of fields and efficient data distribution among components is essential to the performance of such distributed systems. A new programming model that enables disparate software applications developed using a variety of different computer languages to share the required interface data while running concurrently on a cluster of multi-core computing nodes is ...

Pine Ridge Products LLC will introduce a tactical micro wind turbine that is highly efficient, robust, easy to use, maintain and transport. The Army is requesting a renewable energy system to reduce the amount of fuel used for small power loads. A vehicle mounted, efficient wind turbine system would improve self sufficiency on site by decreasing the need for fossil fuels. This will increase reliab ...
