Unpredicted fastener failure could result in reduction (or loss) of performance and unexpected destruction of vehicles. In particular, this problem is more severe in structures subjected to high speeds such as fighter aircraft. The goal of this SBIR project is to combine the recent developments in the fields of vibrations and modeling in order to increase service-free life and the quality of perfo ...

Vibration and shock attenuation is the focus of this SBIR project. We offer to demonstrate the feasibility of the Smart Engine Mount with Energy Managing Continuous Structural Elements system concept suitable for use in airborne vehicles such as E-2Caircraft. Excess vibration energies will be channeled and attenuated inside the Smart Engine Mount whose continuous and connected elements will have ...

The U.S. Army has a critical need for the development of low cost, high performance isolation systems that benefit weapons and mission critical components onboard helicopters and aircraft. Such developments will result in a significant reduction in thetransmission of excess vibration and shock loads to helicopter and aircraft airframe. An effective isolation technology will have applications for ...

Not Available With the advent of quieter threats and the shift in operational emphasis from deep-ocean to literal areas future airborne ASW systems will increasingly rely on acoustic-receiving buoys with increased spatial discrimination to combat increased ambient noise, reverberation and multi-path effects. The implication is that signal detection and classification must now be performed on the ...

This work is focused on the development of an effective methodology for evaluating the performance of vehicle air cleaner when subjected to vibration levels experienced in vehicles. We will verify the relationship between vehicle vibrating loads and theperformance of advanced filters. Currently, advanced air filter media claims that the air filters provide improved performance when evaluated in ve ...
