"In future advanced military diesel engine propulsion systems, the engine's tribological considerations have been limited by the temperature capability of the lubricating fluid. Thermal oxidation resulting in lubricant breakdown and formation of films anddeposits are typical causes of engine failure in the high operating conditions projected for Low Heat Rejection (LHR) type diesel engines. Work ...

"A small engine concept is being proposed for a 0.25 cid two-stroke commercially available engine that will allow the elimination of volatile fuel additives and lubricating oil. The concept will lead to fuel consumption improvements and increases in powerdensity in heavy-fueled small bore homogeneous compression ignited engines. The concept includes the use of solid lubrication coatings and therma ...

"This proposal comprises research efforts to study a dynamic non-stationary friction regime with a variable range of external factors or parameters. This research method considers the development of special non-linear mathematical models for enginetribology including the lubricating oil film thickness as a function of a series of independent parameters in extreme working conditons. These models ...

"On this Phase I program, Advanced Ceramics Research Inc. (ACR) will develop and commercialize technology to fabricate structural components with increased thermal capacities at relatively low cost. This effort will have two major focus areas: (1) work onour Fibrous Monolith (FM) composite processing to develop a new generation of low-cost damage tolerant ceramic-matrix composites with improved p ...

"The goal of this proposed Navy SBIR project is to optimize, analyze, design, build and test a high efficiency 2 cycle ceramic engine that will run on JP-5 fuel and weigh less than 10 ounces while burning less than 1.0 lbs of fuel per hour. The engine willincorporate a ceramic piston, cylinder, and head to permit high temperature operation without cooling to effectively burn this heavy fuel. In ...

"The goal of this proposed Navy SBIR project is to optimize, analyze, design, build and test a novel 0.5 horsepower engine that will run on JP-5 fuel and weigh less than 10 ounces while burning less than 0.5 lbs of fuel per hour. The proposed engine is afour-stroke cycle Rand Cam Diesel engine utilizing continuous injection and combustion in a single combustion chamber. The engine will be of ...

"In this phase I SBIR program, a team consisting of Advanced Ceramics Research, Inc. (ACR) and the University of Delaware (UD) propose the development of an innovative process for novel, high temperature non-eroding nozzle designs with an in-situ insulationlayer. This novel design concept will be fabricated using a patented technology at UD. The ceramic material will be structurally sound and toug ...

"The high accuracies required by hit-to-kill interception places severe demands on interceptor maneuverability and flight control time response when engaging targets that are maneuvering either intentionally or unintentionally. A well-known guidance law foruse against a maneuvering target is augmented proportional navigation (APN). It has been recently demonstrated that the limitations of APN can ...
