Development of a Compact Laser for Damage Detection and the Laser Bond Inspection (LBI) Process
SBC: LSP Technologies, Inc. Topic: AF04133To reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency, composites are being used in aircraft construction at an accelerating rate. The presence of material defects in these composite structures can lead to disastrous failure under flight loads. Many classes of these defective regions are undetectable by conventional NDI techniques such as ultrasonic probing. A revolutionary new inspection technology inv ...

Development of Laser Peening for Hidden Surfaces
SBC: LSP Technologies, Inc. Topic: AF00197In most gas turbine engines, the blades are held in rotating disks by a dovetail attachment that fits into a matching slot in the rim of the disk. The contact area between the blade dovetail and the dovetail slot is subjected to vibration and high stresses, leading to fretting conditions. Eventually, fretting fatigue cracks initiate in the fretting area and propagate into the disk and/or dovetai ...

A Novel, Biologically Inspired Multi-mode MAV
SBC: ORBITAL RESEARCH INC Topic: AF04177The role of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) in the future battlespace is projected to increase tremendously in the immediate future. Currently, viable mission scenarios for MAVs are constrained by their limited size and flight dynamics. MAVs have difficulty maintaining constant surveillance as they must remain in constant motion to stay aloft and hence may not be able to provide constant target survei ...
