The overall abjective of this proposed project is the development of detailed definitions for the interfaces defined by the ABBET architecture. Signal models wil developed based upon the C/ATLAS set of signal nouns. A Test Foundation Framework (TFF) will be implemented to demonstrate the ability of test program or test program component transfer across multiple test platforms. This phase also w ...

ABSTRACT: Research Objectives: 1) Quantify the size, weight, power consumption and cost of flight units of the Space-based InfraRed Imaging Interferometer (SIRII) sensor. 2) Quantify the fundamental advantages of the interferometric approach in comparison to conventional sensor design. 3) Quantify the impact of disadvantages of the interferometer. 4) Establish the steps required to mature the des ...

Combustion instability, or screech, occurs in many modern gas turbine systems, and is due to the complex physical coupling of the acoustic resonances in the combustion chamber with fluctuations in the heat release of the combustion process. These instabilities can produce large pressure fluctuations that can be severe enough to damage engine hardware. Next-generation gas turbines will increase the ...

The QED team proposes to study an active motion compensation platform supported by a self-contained air cushion system. The Phase II study will evaluate the ability of the 'Ramp Motion Control Platform' (RMCP) to support and control the LMSR stern ramp through a range of elevated sea state conditions while maintaining its structural integrity within safe limits. The study will focus on the sensing ...

Environmentally durable material systems capable of operating at temperatures from 1500 to 3000?C while maintaining structural integrity are enabling for future hot structure hypersonic vehicles. State-of-the-art ceramic matrix composite CMC's and other established refractories lack stability at these high temperatures. The plasma transferred arc (PTA) additive manufacturing (AM) process has dem ...
