    The Critical Role of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Rotary-Wing Aerodynamics (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-23
    Description: Helicopter rotor aerodynamics is basically the study of unsteady aerodynamic flows in a rotating and translating coordinate system. Current trends in this field are briefly reviewed by examining recent advances in lifting-surface theory, wake modeling, panel methods, and finite-difference models' Examples are used to illustrate selected current methods and some indications of promising future directions are highlighted.

    Morphological instabilities in directional solidification of a binary alloy - End effects (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: This paper considers the unidirectional solidification of a binary alloy for which the liquid and solid phases are bounded by endwalls. In order to account for the transport of latent heat and solute, thermal and solutal boundary layers must be placed at the solidifying interface. Further, under the assumption of fixed temperature gradients, the presence of the endwalls leads to a velocity of solidification that decreases with time, and hence to an unsteady basic state having a planar interface. From a stability analysis of this state, a nonlinear long-wave evolution equation of Sivashinsky type is derived, with modified coefficients, that shows how the onset of cellular structure is delayed by the presence of endwalls.

    Directional solidification in an imperfect furnace (1987)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The upward directional solidification of a binary alloy in which the rejected solute is more dense than the solvent is considered. The system is stably stratified both thermally and solutally. If heat is lost through the sidewalls, horizontal thermal gradients drive a steady double-diffusive convection. Solidification cells with small aspect ratios (width/length) A are considered, and asymptotic solutions to the steady double-diffusive system are obtained as A tends to 0 under the assumption heat losses are also small. When the thermal Grashof number is large, buoyancy boundary layers are at the sidewalls. The shape of the crystal-melt interface is determined by the coupled effects of local thermodynamic equilibrium, diffusion and convection.

    Workshop on Structural Dynamics and Control Interaction of Flexible Structures (1987)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: The Hubble Space Telescope features the most exacting line of sight jitter requirement thus far imposed on a spacecraft pointing system. Consideration of the fine pointing requirements prompted an attempt to isolate the telescope from the low level vibration disturbances generated by the attitude control system reaction wheels. The primary goal was to provide isolation from axial component of wheel disturbance without compromising the control system bandwidth. A passive isolation system employing metal springs in parallel with viscous fluid dampers was designed, fabricated, and space qualified. Stiffness and damping characteristics are deterministic, controlled independently, and were demonstrated to remain constant over at least five orders of input disturbance magnitude. The damping remained purely viscous even at the data collection threshold of .16 x .000001 in input displacement, a level much lower than the anticipated Hubble Space Telescope disturbance amplitude. Vibration attenuation goals were obtained and ground test of the vehicle has demonstrated the isolators are transparent to the attitude control system.

    Shallow cells in directional solidification (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The existing theory on two-dimensional transitions (appropriate to thin parallel-plate geometries) is presented in such a way that it is possible to identify easily conditions for the onset of shallow cells. Conditions are given under which succinonitrile-acetone mixtures should undergo supercritical bifurcation in experimentally accessible ranges. These results suggest a means for the quantitative test of the Mullins and Sekerka (1964) model and its weakly nonlinear extensions.

    Directional solidification with heat losses (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The upward directional solidification of a dilute binary alloy in a tall, thin, two-dimensional slot is considered. Heat losses from the sidewalls produce curved isotherms, interface deformations, and melt convection. An asymptotic approach is used which relates the small heat loss to the thinness of the solidification cell, and solutions are obtained for the resulting melt convection, interface deflection, and the distribution of heat and solute. The model is compared to the numerical results of Chang and Brown (1983) which exclude the effects of solute buoyancy and thermodynamic equilibrium at the interface. The radial segregation at the interface (consistent with both interface shapes and temperature fields) is computed, and it is found that the radial segregation is independent of interfacial shapes; the radial segregation cannot be calculated from only a knowledge of the interface shape.

    A method for determining crack opening load from load-displacement data (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The fatigue crack opening load is determined as the tangent point on the ascending load-displacement data between the curved portion and the upper linear region. A model for the 'unzipping' behavior of the crack indicates that the curved portion of the load-deflection curve is second order. The opening load is determined by a nonlinear, least squares fit of the data to the model, which optimally locates the tangent point of the two curves. The method provided consistent results for determining opening load P(op) for 7475-T731 aluminum using data from a crack tip opening gage.

    Similarity solutions for phase-change problems (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A modification of Ivantsov's (1947) similarity solutions is proposed which can describe phase-change processes which are limited by diffusion. The method has application to systems that have n-components and possess cross-diffusion and Soret and Dufour effects, along with convection driven by density discontinuities at the two-phase interface. Local thermal equilibrium is assumed at the interface. It is shown that analytic solutions are possible when the material properties are constant.

    Viscous damped space structure for reduced jitter (1987)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-08-31
    Description: A technique to provide modal vibration damping in high performance space structures was developed which uses less than one once of incompressible fluid. Up to 50 percent damping can be achieved which can reduce the settling times of the lowest structural mode by as much as 50 to 1. This concept allows the designers to reduce the weight of the structure while improving its dynamic performance. Damping by this technique is purely viscous and has been shown by test to be linear over 5 orders of input magnitude. Amplitudes as low as 0.2 microinch were demonstrated. Damping in the system is independent of stiffness and relatively insensitive to temperature.
