Post-Process Superfinishing of Additively Manufactured Components with Complex Geometries and Internal Features

Shealy R., Michaud N., Diaz A., REM Surface Engineering, US

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is revolutionizing many industries, including the aerospace and space industries. AM allows for rapid printing, greatly reduced lead times, and complex designs/features not possible via traditional manufacturing. Additionally, AM has facilitated a [...]

Advanced Aerospace Applications for Carbon Nanotube Materials

Schauer M.W., Nanocomp Technologies, Inc., US

The use of floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition to make carbon nanotube (CNT) materials for aerospace structures overcomes the need for dispersants, and allows for products that consist mostly of nanotubes. CNT-based material is currently [...]

Rechargeable Lithium-ion Batteries For Wireless Smart Designs

Mourzagh D., Rouault H., Jouanneau S., Daniel L., Chami M., Moreau G., Fusalba F., CEA-Grenoble, FR

Wireless communication is today considered as a disruptive technology. Indeed, even if wired systems can easily achieve 100% of reliability, it induces high amount of wiring, which has non negligible impact on the mass and [...]

Aerospace Applications for Surface Acoustic Wave Devices

Wilson W., NASA Langley Research Center, US

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology can be used to create a variety of different sensors, including strain, chemical, pressure, and temperature. These sensors can be configured to be passive and wireless, which could be useful [...]

Space Applications for Wireless Sensors

Wilson W.C., Atkinson G.M., NASA Langley Research Center, US

Reducing the weight of spacecraft will reduce both fabrication and launch costs. The elimination of wiring and wiring harnesses reduces the total mass of the vehicle. Wireless sensor technology can reduce the weight and therefore [...]

Spice-like Simulation Using Real Devices Instead of their Mathematical Models

Denisenko V.V., Research Laboratory of Design Automation, RU

Modern Spice-like circuit simulators use increasingly accurate and sophisticated analytical models of components. But the validity of models, that is the probability that the procedure of the model verification is true, still remains very poor. [...]
