IT IS WELL-KNOWN THAT A SLIGHT VARIATION IN THE LINER MATERIAL PROPERTIES MAY CHANGE THE SHAPE OF THE SLUG. THE EXACT MECHANISM OF THIS IS STILL NOT CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD, BUT ONE REASON FOR THIS OCCURRENCE IS ANISOTROPIC BEHAVIOR. ANISOTROPY, DEFINED AS THE DIRECTIONAL DEPENDENCE OF PROPERTIES, IS GENERALLY CAUSED BY AN INHOMOGENEOUS TEXTURE IN THE MATERIAL. DYNA EAST PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS ADDRESSED TO THE PROBLEM OF DETECTING AND DISABLING LAND MINES USING FOCUSED MICROWAVE RADIATION. THE CONCEPT IS DIRECTED PRIMARILY TO SUBSURFACE ANTI-TANK MINES OF EITHER DIELECTRIC OR METALLIC COMPOSITION, ALTHOUGH IT IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO SURFACE MINES. THE INNOVATIVE CONCEPT PROPOSED IS THE USE OF A DIGITALLY FOCUSED AND SCANNED MICROWAVE ARRAY RADAR DETECTION SYSTEM USING BIS ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED WORK (PHASE I AND II) IS TO DEVELOP A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT WILL AID IN THE DESIGN OF EXHAUST COOLING SYSTEMS FOR INFRARED SUPPRESSION ON AIRCRAFT. THE CODE WILL BE CAPABLE OF MODELING COMPLEX THREE-DIMENSIONAL FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER AND WILL BE GENERAL ENOUGH SO AS TO BE USED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH AIRCRAFT PROPULSION, E.G., VSTOLV. THE SOFTWAR ...

FABRICATION OF A MULTI-LAYER SUPERCONDUCTING COMPOSITE STRUCTURE ON A HIGH-STRENGTH SUBSTRATE SUCH AS NICKEL-ALLOY OR STEEL IS PROPOSED. THE COMPOSITE LAYERS CONSIST OF A BARRIER LAYER, A SUPERCONDUCTING LAYER, A PROXIMITY LAYER, AND A PROTECTIVE LAYER. PROVISION IS MADE FOR POSSIBLE USE OF MORE THAN ONE LAYER OF SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIAL. THE SUPERCONDUCTING LAYER (ELG. Y-BA-CU-O) MAY BE MIXED WIT ...
