Fan Duct Heat Exchanger for Turbine Cooling Air
SBC: N&R ENGNERING MGT SUPPORT SVCS Topic: A107The proposal is for the design of a fan duct heat exchanger in order to improve aircraft fuel burn. The fan duct heat exchanger decreases the temperature of the 15% to 20% of compressor discharge air used to cool the High Pressure Turbine(HPT). Reducing the HPT cooling air temperature reduces the amount of cooling air needed for HPT cooling, and reducing vane and rotor blade cooling improves engin ...

Color-XHDR- A Compact High-Speed Color Extreme High Dynamic Range Video Capability for Rocket Engine Testing
SBC: INNOVATIVE IMAGING & RESEARCH CORP Topic: H1002Innovative Imaging and Research (I2R) proposes to develop a 21st Century high-speed, color extreme high dynamic range (Color-XHDR) video recording system that will produce calibrated, engineering-grade video to accurately document rocket motor firings, at close range within a test cell, without image saturation. This novel imaging system will include a compact, single camera/single focal plane ar ...

Electromagnetic Models and Software for the Nondestructive Evaluation of Carbon Nanotube Based Composites
SBC: VICTOR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: H1301The use of eddy-current methods to detect damage in aerospace structures,and to characterize materials is well established, and is a key item to ensure that the risk of structural failures meets the strict damage tolerance requirements established by NASA. This is especially challenging when one considers that common aerospace structures are made from such disparage materials as aluminum, titanium ...

Electrically Activated Shape Memory Composite Deployable Boom
SBC: CORNERSTONE RESEARCH GROUP INC Topic: H501CRG proposes to advance the solar sail boom system with a bi-stable, deployable, composite boom which implements a composite electrically activated shape memory polymer (EASMP) to transition the matrix with characteristics representing an elastomer, for storage and deployment, into a thermoset creating a rigid boom. This bi-stable solution will allow for a lightweight, reliable, and controlled sol ...

Reclaimable Thermally Reversible Polymers for AM Feedstock
SBC: CORNERSTONE RESEARCH GROUP INC Topic: H504Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) proposes to design and develop thermally-reversible polymeric materials that will function as reprocessable thermosetting matrixes. These material systems will enable reclamation and repurposing of structural fiber-reinforced composites into new configurations during extraterrestrial missions, such as conversion to Additive Manufacturing (AM) feedstocks or di ...

Lunar Spectral Irradiance Monitor
SBC: RESONON, INC. Topic: S103During this effort an instrument for calibrating the lunar irradiance will be designed. Such an instrument will lead to reliable exoatmospheric calibration for past, current, and future earth-viewing instruments and improve the accuracy of their data products, which in turn will improve climate change and weather models. The instrument will measure both the solar and lunar irradiances, which will ...

Advanced Analytical Tools for the Characterization of Fundamental Jet Noise Sources and Structures
SBC: SPECTRAL ENERGIES LLC Topic: A102There is a need for innovative technologies and methods for noise reduction, noise prediction, and noise diagnostics. A comprehensive approach to reducing noise from any flow is predicated on a clear understanding of noise sources, i.e., the turbulent flow itself. Although much has been discovered in the last several decades about the connection between turbulence and noise, the heuristic elemen ...

Flow Control on a High Lift Airfoil Using High-Bandwidth Microactuators
SBC: SPECTRAL ENERGIES LLC Topic: A104High-lift airfoils employ trailing edge flaps during takeoff and landing and are stowed during the cruise. These airfoils enhance the lift characteristics at subsonic speeds but suffer due to flow separation over the deflected flap surface. During cruise at transonic speeds, the shock induced separation results in drag penalty and structural fatigue. Traditionally, high-lift airfoils employ multi- ...

Distributed Contact Solver for 3D Dynamics Simulation of Drive Systems with Defects
SBC: ADVANCED NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS LLC Topic: A106We propose a novel computational method for generating data needed to create decision strategies for condition-based monitoring algorithms that can effectively differentiate between a healthy system and different types of defects in a damaged system. Currently, the only means available to generate this data are physical testing which is time consuming and expensive, and simplified computer models ...

Design Concepts for Low Aspect Ratio High Pressure Turbines for High Bypass Ratio Turbofans
SBC: N&R ENGNERING MGT SUPPORT SVCS Topic: A107The proposal is to identify cycle improvements and verify structural feasibility of shrouding a low aspect ratio High Pressure Turbine(HPT) rotor designed to use ceramic blades. When the clearance-to-span ratio between the rotating blades and the stationary casing is the same as the clearance-to-span ratio between the rotating shroud and the stationary casing, stage efficiency improves. However, s ...
