Open-Source Tidal Energy Converter (OSTEC) Testbed: Design Basis Report

This report describes the design basis and design details for an instrumented marine turbine system intended to serve as the DOE’s marine tidal turbine test bed for foundational open-source R&D and data generation to advance our understanding and to identify knowledge gaps on the techno-economic performance of tidal energy converters (TEC) under real tidal flow conditions and at sufficiently large scale to enable upscaling of fluid-structure-interactions and component and material load responses

Structural Analysis Report for Sandia High Altitude Aerosol Research (SHAAR) Payloads

Sandia National Laboratories has interest in mounting enclosures to gather scientific data aboard NASA scientific balloons. This report documents the structural integrity of three separate payloads considered ‘piggybacks.’ To date, there are no design criteria for piggybacks, therefore each piggyback shall follow the same design requirements set by NASA per the Gondola Structural Design Requirements. This analysis report shall describe how each payload meets the design requirements laid out in the Gondola Design Requirements.
