Thinking about the ridiculousness of Easter and the story it is supposed to represent had me think of the Freeze song "Sacrifice not suicide" and did Cliff Hanger have something when he questioned what the difference was in the song that appeared on the "This is Boston Not L.A." comp. That's why I thought it was a fitting song to start a show on easter Sunday with. What's the difference between the two and should christian behaviour be treated with the same concern that...

The silicon-calcium fluoride system has long been considered as a candidate for electrical isolation of silicon, especially in the area of 3D device integration. The relatively small 0.6% lattice mismatch at 300 deg C with Si makes CaF sub 2 a very promising choice. Additionally, CaF sub 2 has the attractive property that it can be patterned directly with electron-beam and ion-beam lithography. However, little attention has been given to the transport properties of the Si-CaF sub 2...

Many materials were prepared which we believe are close to a metal-insulator boundary. Some of these materials were new compounds. Others were based on known compounds, but the composition was systematically varied to move close to the metal-insulator boundary. Superconductivity frequently occurs near such boundaries. Most of the materials prepared were oxides. However, some new oxysulfides and oxyselenides were also prepared. None of the samples produced showed evidence of superconductivity...

This paper demonstrates the progressive failure analysis capability in NASA Langley s COMET-AR finite element analysis code on a large-scale built-up composite structure. A large-scale five stringer composite panel with a 7-in. long discrete source damage was analyzed from initial loading to final failure including the geometric and material nonlinearities. Predictions using different mesh sizes, different saw cut modeling approaches, and different failure criteria were performed and assessed....

A progressive failure analysis method has been developed for predicting the failure of laminated composite structures under geometrically nonlinear deformations. The progressive failure analysis uses C(exp 1) shell elements based on classical lamination theory to calculate the in-plane stresses. Several failure criteria, including the maximum strain criterion, Hashin's criterion, and Christensen's criterion, are used to predict the failure mechanisms and several options are available to degrade...

Geometrically nonlinear shell finite element analysis has recently been applied to solar-sail membrane problems in order to model the out-of-plane deformations due to structural wrinkling. Whereas certain problems lend themselves to achieving converged nonlinear solutions that compare favorably with experimental observations, solutions to tensioned membranes exhibiting high stress concentrations have been difficult to obtain even with the best nonlinear finite element codes and advanced shell...

Thin solar sail membranes of very large span are being envisioned for near-term space missions. One major design issue that is inherent to these very flexible structures is the formation of wrinkling patterns. Structural wrinkles may deteriorate a solar sail's performance and, in certain cases, structural integrity. In this paper, a geometrically nonlinear, updated Lagrangian shell formulation is employed using the ABAQUS finite element code to simulate the formation of wrinkled deformations in...

In this study, the explicit time integration method is employed to predict deformation of highly flexible solar sail structural components. The nonlinear static analysis of a highly flexible ribbon structure is presented to demonstrate the need for having the explicit time integration method in the analysis toolbox for solar sail. Static analyses of the ribbon structure produce ambiquous results whereas the explicit time integration method determines the correct results. Extensive benchmarking...

Incorporating risk-based design as an integral part of spacecraft development is becoming more and more common. Assessment of uncertainties associated with design parameters and environmental aspects such as loading provides increased knowledge of the design and its performance. Results of such studies can contribute to mitigating risk through a system-level assessment. Understanding the risk of an event occurring, the probability of its occurrence, and the consequences of its occurrence can...

Solar sails have been proposed for a variety of future space exploration missions and provide a cost effective source of propellantless propulsion. Solar sails span very large areas to capture and reflect photons from the Sun and are propelled through space by the transfer of momentum from the photons to the solar sail. The thrust of a solar sail, though small, is continuous and acts for the life of the mission without the need for propellant. Recent advances in materials and ultra-low mass...

The acute toxicity of diisopropylmethyl phosphonate (DIMP) and dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) was studied utilizing aquatic organisms representing several trophic levels in an aquatic ecosystem. DCPD was found to be approximately 10X more toxic than DIMP. The eggs and 7-day old fry of the fathead minnow were the life stages least susceptible to DCPD and DIMP, respectively. Increasing hardness and pH 8.0 appeared to decrease slightly the toxicity of DIMP while the toxicity of DCPD was not...

Parametric studies are performed on two generic square solar sail designs to identify parameters of interest. The studies are performed on systems-level models of full-scale solar sails, and include geometric nonlinearity and inertia relief, and use a Newton-Raphson scheme to apply sail pre-tensioning and solar pressure. Computational strategies and difficulties encountered during the analyses are also addressed. The purpose of this paper is not to compare the benefits of one sail design over...

The objective of the project was the discovery of new materials which might be useful as superconductors, useful in superconducting devices, or useful in other electronic applications. Some insulating cuprates have been converted to superconductors by intercalation with oxygen, e.g., La2CuO4 ^x and YBa3Cu3O6x. In these cases an insulator is converted to a p-type conductor. We tried the opposite approach, ie.e., cation intercalation to produce n-type conductors. Layered cuprates of the type...

Structural optimization methods in MSC /NASTRAN are used to size substructures and to reduce the weight of a composite sandwich cryogenic tank for future launch vehicles. Because the feasible design space of this problem is non-convex, many local minima are found. This non-convex problem is investigated in detail by conducting a series of analyses along a design line connecting two feasible designs. Strain constraint violations occur for some design points along the design line. Since...

Composite materials are increasingly being considered and used for launch-vehicle structures. For shell structures, such as interstages, skirts, and shrouds, honeycomb-core sandwich composites are often selected for their structural efficiency. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the structural response, including buckling, of sandwich composite shell structures. Additionally, small geometric imperfections can significantly influence the buckling response, including...

A sandwich panel with initial through-the-width debonds is analyzed to study the buckling of its faceskin when subject to an in-plane compressive load. The debonded faceskin is modeled as a beam on a Winkler elastic foundation in which the springs of the elastic foundation represent the sandwich foam. The Rayleigh-Ritz and finite-difference methods are used to predict the critical buckling load for various debond lengths and stiffnesses of the sandwich foam. The accuracy of the methods is...
