A Novel High-Conductance Thermal Interface for Aerospace Electronics
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: AF131077ABSTRACT: Current Separable Thermal Mechanical Interfaces (STMIs) found in advanced digital processing electronics are unable to efficiently remove dissipated heat, limiting performance far below their capability. The standard approach produces high contact resistance (~1.0C-in./W) with local variations in excess of 25%, severely limiting allowable electronic power levels. During this program, ...

A Multi-Tiered Lithium-ion Battery Thermal Fault Mitigation Architecture
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: N14AT006With the continued electrification of military systems, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are increasingly targeted for electrical energy storage due to their wide operating temperature range and exceptional energy density. However, Li-ion batteries operating in hostile thermal and mechanical environments typical of military aircraft are prone to catastrophic thermally-induced failures. Hazards inclu ...

Seabed Imaging System
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: N14AT022Acoustic imaging is the preferred modality for mine detection. However, acoustic images are noisy and difficult to interpret due to acoustic clutter, the interaction of sound with the seafloor, and potential penetration of sound into the sediment with subsequent reflection. Creare proposes to develop a Seabed Imaging System (SIS) capable of providing detailed information on both the topography and ...

High Energy Laser (HEL) Analysis Tool with Experimentally Corroborated Diode-Pumped Alkali Laser (DPAL) Rate Coefficients
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: MDA12T008Proper design of Diode-Pumped Alkali Laser Systems (DPALS) is challenging because many interrelated processes impact their performance and critical kinetic rate coefficients are not well known. In response, our team is developing a comprehensive physics-based analysis/design tool, and experimentally determining key kinetic rate coefficients. The resulting product will be a user-friendly, high-fi ...

Integration of Complex Geometry, 3D Woven Preforms via Innovative Stitching Technique
SBC: T.E.A.M., INC. Topic: H701Thick, 3D woven carbon/phenolic composites offer potential improvement over legacy thermal protection systems (TPS) for re-entry vehicle heat shield applications. However due to the scale and complexity of typical re-entry vehicle structures, it is likely that multiple 3D woven panels would need to laid up to create the overall heat shield, creating a potential weak spots at the panel joints. ...

A Novel Plasma-Based Compressor Stall Control System
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: A308Modern aircraft gas turbine engines utilize highly loaded airfoils in both the compressor and turbine to maximize performance while minimizing weight, cost, and complexity. However, high airfoil loading increases the likelihood of flow separation at lower mass flow rates. Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma actuators have been shown to be a very promising technique for compressor stall con ...
