The objective of this proposal is to formulate an innovative modeling approach for a reactive fragment impact with a target, based on first-order, simplified engineering analysis of key physical and chemical processes. These processes include fragment break-up, energy release rates, energy deposition rates into the target and target failure. The model will relate these processes to practical des ...

Evolving military applications require higher computing performance which is Nrealized by increasing the number of processors or the processor clock speed. F Trends toward sharing resources in multi-processor systems and using Mdistributed processing systems for reliability and speed place more emphasis @on availability of a wide bandwidth network to interconnect the Nmicroprocessors. The add ...

We have developed a unique tool based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Imaging methods, for the study of the microscopic structure of polymer matrices. We believe that these methods are uniquely suited to the study of cure shrinkage and aging in rocket motor propellants, and we propose to work with DOD collaborators to demonstrate this capability and to employ our imaging methods in laborat ...

SBIR Technical Topic N95-038, Advanced Automatic Test Systems (ATS) Resources, addresses DoD's Joint Service ATS initiative to achieve a high degree of commonality and automation in the specification, procurement, design and application of standard ATS components across all DoD services. Two thrusts are seen key to meeting this objective in a cost effective manner: 1) identification of a tailorabl ...

Survivability of naval platforms in an important componenet in maintaining sea control and undersea superiority. Ship silencing efforts enhance survivability by reducing acoustic signatures. Active noise control provides an approach to signature reduction that can complement other means. This approach generally requires the use of multiple sensors to observe the surface response and multiple actua ...

Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA)is currently used to predict high-frequency airborne and structureborne noise and vibration for ships, aircraft, aerospace systems, and automobiles, while finite element analysis (FEA) is used for low-frequencies. A mid-frequency region exists where neither technique gives accurate predictions. The study being proposed will develop modeling procedures that a ...

A new family of surface-active organic compounds is proposed for formulating multi-purpose vapor phase corrosion inhibitors (VCI's). The proposed research explores the feasibility of applying state-of-the-art surface science with the concepts of molecular simulation and molecular self assembly to produce a new class of corrosion inhibitors. The ultimate objective is to develop a family of VCI's ...
