THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO INTEGRATE THE APPLICABLE FIELD, DEPOT AND OTHER AIR FORCE MAINTENANCE DATA INTO A SINGLE AND CONCISE MAINTENANCE HISTORY OR BASIC DATA PACKAGE. THIS PACKAGE OR HISTORY IS DESIGNED TO CONTAIN THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY ALL OF THE USING DISCIPLINES, TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE CONTRIBUTING MAINTENANCE LEVELS (HARDWARE REPAIR, REMOVE AND REPLACE, CHECKED OK, ETC) AND, FINAL ...

STRUCTURAL LATCH MECHANISM CONCEPTS WILL BE DEVELOPED TO BE USED ON FUTURE FIGHTER AIRCRAFT FOR INTERFACING THE CREW ESCAPE CAPSULE WITH THE AIRFRAME. THE F-111 ESCAPE CAPSULE DESIGN WILL AID IN THE GENERATION AND VALIDATION OF PRELIMINARY DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. THREE PHILOSOPHIES WILL BE CONSIDERED IN DEVELOPING THE DESIGN CONCEPTS. ONE WILL MAXIMIZE THE LOAD DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE TWO STRUCTURES ...

SURFACE ROUGHNESS AFFECTS BOTH THE SHAPE OF AN ULTRASONIC IMPULSE TRANSMITTED THROUGH AN INTERFACE AND ITS POWER SPECTRUM. TO FULLY APPLY ADVANCED SIGNAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES TO DETERMINING QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT DEFECTS AND IMPERFECTIONS IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPENSATE FOR THE FREQUENCY DEPENDENT EFFECTS INTRODUCED BY SURFACE ROUGHNESS. THIS PROJECT PROPOSES TO MODEL SURFACE ROUGHNESS TO OBT ...

AN ALGORITHM IS DEVELOPED FOR APPLICATION IN A RAY TRACING PROGRAM TO PROVIDE THE AMPLITUDE, POLARIZATION, AND PHASE OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE REFLECTED FROM A DIELECTRIC BODY. TWO DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS ARE USED. THE FIRST CONSISTS OF AN ABSORPTIVE DIELECTRIC BODY AND THE SECOND OF A DIELECTRIC BODY COATED WITH A ABSORPTIVE LAYER. THE ALGORITHM IS BASED ON AN EXACT SOLUTION TO THE BOUNDARY VAL ...

MILITARY PERSONNEL ARE AT RISK TO VARIOUS FORMS OF GASTROENTERITIS AS THEY ARE TRANSFERRED TO PARTS OF THE WORLD WHERE CONDITIONS FAVOR CONTAMINATION OF FOOD OR WATER WITH THE CAUSATIVE AGENTS. MANY OF THESE FORMS OF GASTROENTERITIS ARE SELF LIMITING, BUT VIBRIO CHOLERAE IS THE CAUSATIVE AGENT OF A SEVERE FORM OF GASTROENTERITIS WHICH CAN BE FATAL IF UNTREATED. IT IS THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT TO DE ...
