Innovative Weight Efficient Combined Structural/Thermal Protection System (TPS) Concepts
SBC: FMW COMPOSITE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: AF04248The current approach to providing thermal protection to aero-vehicles is to use a parasitic thermal protection system (TPS) that protects the primary structure while transferring the aerodynamic loads to the same primary structure. This approach increases the complexity of the vehicle system that, in turn, complicates fabrication and inspection of the structure. In addition, this approach also i ...

HEMETS- Human Error Modeling for Error Tolerant Systems
SBC: D.N. AMERICAN Topic: N03130D.N. American proposes the development of a Human Error Modeling tool for Error Tolerant Systems (HEMETS) which will simulate human performance on complex systems in order to provide system designers with information on what aspects of their design are likely to lead to human error. Furthermore, HEMETS will provide recommendations to the designers so they can improve their design in order to elimi ...

Fiber Reinforced Aluminum Crack Repair for Aluminum Structures
SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD. Topic: N161069Touchstone proposes to incorporate its MetPreg fiber reinforced aluminum material into a concept for bonded-on repairs to cracked aluminum ship hulls and superstructure. The method would not require logistics beyond that which is normally available to ships force or entail the use of materials with short shelf life. MetPreg has been shown to arrest cracks in 7xxx series aluminum compact tension sp ...
