ICME-based fatigue life prediction for additive manufactured metallic components
SBC: MRL MATERIALS RESOURCES LLC Topic: N19BT026Despite the tremendous benefits of additive manufacturing (AM) to our warfighters, uncertainty in fatigue life predictions have been a major roadblock for certifying metallic AM parts to fly. We are proposing a hybrid modeling/inspection approach to estimate fatigue life of AMed parts using damage tolerance analysis combined with inspections. The new developed tool is expected to provide certifica ...

Multi-scale Physics-based Modeling of Particle-Impact Erosion of CMCs
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: N19BT033Sand particles ingested into aeroengines can impinge on components made of ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) and cause structural damage including long-term erosion. Experimental analysis of erosion typically focuses on the damage footprint and mass loss and is limited in the range of operating parameters that can be examined. Hence, high-fidelity modeling of the erosion process is essential to der ...

Rapid ICME-based Multiphysics Modeling of Surface Roughness in LPBF Ti6Al4V
SBC: MRL MATERIALS RESOURCES LLC Topic: N19BT034The uncertainty in predicting surface roughness and subsurface defects in as-built additively manufactured (AM) parts is hindering the wide utilization of AM for mission critical components that exhibit fatigue loading conditions due to the propagated uncertainly in crack initiation and propagation from surface defects. Thus, this work is focused on developing a new multiphysics toolset for predic ...

Smart ICME for Enhanced Fatigue Life in Metal Additive Manufacturing
SBC: MRL MATERIALS RESOURCES LLC Topic: N20AT002Fatigue life of parts produced by metal additive manufacturing is determined by the complex interaction of defects, surface properties, and material microstructure. Each of these constituents is affected by the choice of processing parameters, as well as the feedstock, machine performance, etc. In addition, stochastic events often contribute significantly to the fatigue life of individual samp ...

Fully Automated Quantum Cascade Laser Design Aided by Machine Learning with up to 100X Design Cycle Time Reduction
SBC: IRGLARE LLC Topic: N20AT003A Quantum Cascade Laser's (QCL) core material is a series of nanometer scale layers of conduction band barrier and well materials designed to induce lasing electron energy levels. The key design feature of a QCL is the ability to repeat the laser core superlattice design to cascade electrons through the superlattice repetitions by repeated stimulated emission. Such designs are generally carefully ...

Advanced, High-Performance, Low-Noise Propeller Designs for Small UxS
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: N20AT006Improved propeller designs for Small Unmanned Aerial Systems are needed to improve performance and reduce acoustic emissions. Traditional propeller design methods don’t take advantage of advances in coupled fluid, structure and acoustics computational design methods nor advances in high strength, high modulus materials to extend performance of propellers and reduce noise emissions. In the propos ...

Dual Stage Integrated Cyclone (DSIC) Geometry for Sea Chest Water Management System
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: N20AT008Current Zumwalt Class destroyers (DDG 1000) sea chest openings are unique because they must be flush to the hull, limiting implementation of common sea chest designs (e.g., bubble shields or raised inlets). This design results in the ingestion of higher amounts of ice, debris, and air, resulting in increased maintenance costs, potential pump failure, and degraded overall cooling performance. The N ...

Environmental Vibration Mitigation for Additive Manufacturing Equipment
SBC: ETEGENT TECHNOLOGIES, LTD. Topic: N20AT010Additive manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly evolving technology that is being used in a growing number of new and different applications. As applications become more diverse, so will the environments within which AM equipment is relied upon to operate effectively and produce high quality parts. One specific challenge is maintaining part quality when AM equipment is required to operate in environments ...
