Time resolved in-situ small angle X-ray scattering clarifies the competition between continuous and discontinuous precipitation in U-6wt%Nb

In-situ high energy x-ray scattering experiments enable high temporal resolution investigations of precipitation kinetics; Continuous and discontinuous precipitation are competitive near the TTT nose (~525°C); The incubation time for discontinuous precipitation increases significantly at temperatures below the TTT nose; Additional evidence for the divergent interlamellar spacing was observed at 434°C and 466°C

Vehicle health management for guidance, navigation and control systems

The objective of the program was to architect a vehicle health management (VHM) system for space systems avionics that assures system readiness for launch vehicles and for space-based dormant vehicles. The platforms which were studied and considered for application of VHM for guidance, navigation and control (GN&C) included the Advanced Manned Launch System (AMLS), the Horizontal Landing-20/Personnel Launch System (HL-20/PLS), the Assured Crew Return Vehicle (ACRV) and the Extended Duration Orbiter (EDO). This set was selected because dormancy and/or availability requirements are driving the designs of these future systems.

SATWG networked quality function deployment

The initiative of this work is to develop a cooperative process for continual evolution of an integrated, time phased avionics technology plan that involves customers, technologists, developers, and managers. This will be accomplished by demonstrating a computer network technology to augment the Quality Function Deployment (QFD). All results are presented in viewgraph format.
