FATIGUE LIFE ENHANCEMENT OF BUSHED TITANIUM LUGS WILL BE INVESTIGATED. A UNIQUE TECHNBIQUE, FORCEMATE (FM), FOR INSTALLATION OF BUSHINGS WILL BE DEMONSTRATED. EFFECT OF PROCESS PARAMETERS WILL BE EVALUATED AND THOSE PARAMETERS OPTIMIZED FOR THE PARTICULAR CONFIGURATION UNDER INVESTIGATION. AT EACH PHASE OF THE INVESTIGATION, FATIGUE LIFE COMPARISONS WILL BE MADE BETWEEN LUGS AND BUSHINGS INSTALLED ...

THE PROPOSED WORK WILL EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF HAFNIUM CARBIDE FIBERPRODUCTION THROUGH PYROLYSIS OF ORGANOHAFNIUM POLYMER PRECURSORS. IN THIS CHEMICAL APPROACH TO CERAMIC PROCESSING, THE METHODS TO SYNTHESIZE ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMICALS SUITABLE FOR THE FORMATION OF ORGANOHAFNIUM POLYMERS AND TO FORM POLYMERIC FIBERS WITH AN (-HF-CHF-) BACKBONE WILL BE EXPLORED. THE POLYMERS WILL THEN BY PYROLYZE ...

In prior projects, including a 2015 ED/IES SBIR award, the team developed two immersive multiplayer virtual game environments. In Eco and Colony, middle school students collaboratively apply scientific practices within the virtual worlds to address challenges, such as the availability of resources and energy and maintaining clean water. With this Phase I funding, the team is developing a prototype ...

In prior research and development, the project team developed LiveSchool, an online platform to track student behavior. With this Phase I funding, the team will develop and test a prototype of an administrator dashboard. The dashboard will generate reports on individual student behavior patterns across classes and on the prevalence of behavioral issues across different teachers. The dashboard will ...

Creative Microsystems Corporation (CMC) proposes to develop the Holographic Enable Display System (HEDS) for force-on-force Marine training. The system will leverage several CMC technologies, such as the holographic imageguide display and small form factor low light cameras, to produce a high resolution, foveated helmet mounted display for augmented and virtual reality in training exercises. The s ...

Marines Maintainers using the Electronic Maintenance Support System (EMSS) to perform logistical support are currently constrained to the small liquid crystal display (LCD), which is ruggedized Panasonic CF-19 Toughbook known as the electronic maintenance device (EMD). Though it is very useful, the human factors of reading schematics optimized for presentation on paper sizes up to 22 in x 34 in (A ...
