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 ...

QRC submits this proposal in response to SBIR A96-1 15 for A Coherent FM-CW Radar for Continuous Geophysical Profiling Deployed on a Remotely Piloted Aircraft. The current state of practice is to use ground and air frame mounted FM-CW Radar to obtain military and commercial related geophysical surveys, surveillance, and research efforts. These manned vehicle applications require significant capit ...

A DEMONSTRATION OF THE FEASABILITY OF A LASER-ASSISTED CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION PROCESS FOR MERCURY CADIUM TELLURIDE FILMS UTILIZING LARGE AREA, UNIFORM RARE-GAS HALIDE EXCIMER LASER ILLUMINATION IS PROPOSED. AN INITIAL TASK FROM THIS PURPOSE WILL BE TO CONDUCT A TRADEOFF STUDY TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM GEOMETRY FO LAVCD. THIS WILL BE FOLOWED BY THE TASK OF DESIGNING, BUILDING AND TESTING AN APPRO ...

THE PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES OF THE SERVOJET HIGH PRESSURE, SHORT DURATION, ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTOR HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED. IT IS KNOWN THAT THE RATE OF FUEL INJECTION, AND THE WAY THAT THE RATE VARIES THROUGHOUT THE COMPLETE INJECTION EVENT, HAS A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON ENGINE PERFORMANCE. THE NEWLY DEVELOPED SERVOJET UCORS SYSTEM IS A DEVELOPMENT TOOL THAT CAN CONTINUOUSLY VARY THE RATE SHAPE WHIL ...

The overall objective of the proposed SBIR project is to develop a highly accurate, dynamically adaptive grid, Navier-Stokes prediction methodology which will be applicable to the problem of dynamic stall. four tasks are proposed: (1) evaluation of trade-offs and identification of potential roadblocks associated with three adaptive mesh technologies: spectral element schemes, embedded-grid sche ...

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 ...

Many organizations have a need to perform carefully designed and efficiently implemented surveys to make more informed decisions. Today, the survey methods mainly consists of using paper-and-pencil surveys or semi-automated computer-assisted surveys. With the advent of Internet, Intranet, Java language, www and e-mail, surveys can be more interactive, easy to transport and receive, easy to tabu ...
