IN THIS PHASE I EFFORT, THE GOAL IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF CONDUCTING ACCELERATED CORROSION TESTING OF VEHICLES BY SIMULATING 5-10-15 YEARS OF FIELD LIFE IN A COMPUTER CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT SIMULATION CHAMBER. THE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE CHAMBER, THE TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTS PRESENT IN THE DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS, THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ACCELERATED CHAMBER TESTS AND FIELD COND ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project proposes a coupled Navier Stokes/Full Potential (NS/FPE) solution methodology for the study of unsteady flow analyses of next-generation helicopter airfoils. The principle behind NS/FPE approach is to divide the physical space being solved into an inner viscous zone near the body surface, and an outer wake zone away from the surface. The Na ...

A quality simulation which allows a user to simulate the acoustic emissions in a multi-source environment and then study the effects these conditions have on a set of acoustic sensors would be of great value. As acoustic sensors technology continues to advance with robust algorithms for detection, tracking and identification as well as high performance hardware providing real-time operation, thes ...

The overall objective of this program will be to demonstrate the feasibility of a Dialectic Neural Network (DNN) architecture for use as an intelligent information processing engine for threat identification. To achieve this goal, several technical objectives have been identified that define, integrate and demonstrate the DNN architecture within the Army's Phoenix C41 software which will be used ...

Large-scale scientific and engineering simulations currently being performed on high-end parallel computers have exceeded the capabilities of present visualization systems. The proposed system utilizes distributed object technologies (OMG CORBA) to perform parallel, distributed visualization of large computational problems, like computational fluid dynamics and structural dynamics. Distributed a ...

This project applies a combination of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Genetic Algorithms (GA), and CAD software to the problem of optimum armor design. Previous work for TACOM has established the efficacy of ANN/GA as applied to the problem of 1-D armor design. This new work will extend the concept to full 3-D vehicle geometries (CAD models). The CAD part of the code will handle the 3D data d ...
