The purpose of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility, through modeling and simulation, of integrating engineered polyhedral Phase Transforming Cellular Matrix (PXCM) materials as a dynamic, elastically deformable solution for non-pneumatic tires that can; 1) resist loss of mobility due to hazards that include ballistic/explosive threats, and road debris, 2) extend capability allowing the ...

The objective of this project is to develop a modular, open-architecture, physics-based ground vehicle mobility prediction software tool for world-wide terrains that are encountered in military applications including on-road and off-road soft soil terrains. The tool will integrate three modules: (1) Physics-Based Vehicle-Terrain Modeling tool; (2) Geographic Information System (GIS); and (3) Stoch ...

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 ...
