Lightweight, Stable Optical Bench with Integrated Vibration Attenuation
SBC: SAN DIEGO COMPOSITES, INC. Topic: MDA13T007The goal of this program is to design a lightweight optical bench capable of remaining stable under temperature and moisture changes, while isolating the precision optical array from vibrations such as engine noise and air turbulence. By integrating a customizable periodic stack in the bench, vibrations are attenuated more effectively than commercially available mounts. Additionally, the periodic ...

Prediction of Strutural Response and Fluid-Induced Vibration in Turbomachinery
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: T102Advanced turbomachinery components play a critical role in launch vehicle and spacecraft liquid rocket propulsion systems. To achieve desired efficiencies, extremely tight tolerances are often imposed between inducer blades and shrouds or other system components which sets up strong interactions that influence both the aerodynamics and the structural performance of blades and vanes. These transien ...

Soft Robotic Manipulators with Enhanced Perception using Multimodal Sensory Skins
SBC: OTHER LAB, INC. Topic: T1101We propose that the key to robotic automation in unstructured environments is compliant robotic manipulators that can tolerate, sense, and leverage contact in a feedback loop. We will demonstrate an instrumented end-effector that will be capable of enhanced perception through observed and controlled contact. This approach requires: (i) a network of sensors capable of capturing the highly compliant ...
