Pressure pulses, shock and vibratory loading on launch vehicle connectors - heat environment, vacuum and radiation effects on connector gaskets
Duct coupling with nickel steel diaphragm of low thermal expansivity is leakproof when used with cryogenic fluids. The diaphragm, located between the two flanges of the coupling, reduces axial shrinkage at the coupling flanges to a minimum.

An orbital tube flaring system produces tubing connectors with a zero-leak potential needed in high pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The flaring system incorporates a rolling cone and rolling die to closely control flare characteristics.
Study provides specific design criteria in sealing applications for continuous duty pumps used in bulk liquid transfer. A basic sealing equation predicts visco seal performance in the turbulent regime.
Rotating shaft seals used in space power systems have spiral grooves in one or both of the opposing seal faces. These grooves induce a pumping action which displaces the intervening fluid radially inward toward the shaft and counters the centrifugal forces which tend to displace the fluid outward.

Optimal design of sealed fluid lubrication system for bearings in space vacuum environment
Cosmic ray particle diffusion investigation using approximation evaluated for validity by eigenfunction expansion technique
Valve action confines polymeric material in a metal groove effecting seal by compressive reaction of the polymer. As cold flow does not occur, sealing material resiliency is preserved over numerous operations.
Design adds gas thrust bearing to face of conventional face seal. Bearing lifts seal's carbon face out of contact after startup and establishes thin gas film between sealing surfaces. Operating pressure and speed capabilities are greater than those of conventional face seals.
An ultrasonic contact sensor engineering prototype leak detection system was developed and its capabilities under cryogenic operations demonstrated. The results from tests indicate that the transducer performed well on liquid hydrogen plumbing, that flow and valve actuation could be monitored, and that the phase change from gaseous to liquid hydrogen could be detected by the externally mounted transducers. Tests also demonstrate the ability of the system to detect internal leaks past valve seats and to function as a flow meter. Such a system demonstrates that it is not necessary to break into welded systems to locate internal leaks.
