Surface roughness in polycrystalline copper under cyclic thermal loading: FFT-based thermomechanical modelling with experimental verification for accelerator applications [Slides]
The copper chambers contain an electromagnetic field known as radiofrequency (RF) cavities. Accelerator cavities have superior surface finish with roughness, Ra, of about 0.05 to 0.1 µm. For reference, mirror finish is 0.8 μm.

Three New EMP Analysis Methods [Slides]
Three analysis techniques are presented. One is a new method of doing spectrograms that gives full time resolution and optimum frequency resolution. Another is a method that uses the phase of the Fourier transform of the signal rather than the magnitude of narrow band receivers. With one FFT, one can obtain 1000’s of TOA-frequency pairs to fit to that are unaffected by any magnetic field that the signal encounter during propagation. The third method dechirps the signal in a manner that identifies the STEC and VTOA that finds when the signal has both ionospheric modes equally.

The effect of contact severity on micropitting: Simulation and experiments
In this work, a numerical contact fatigue model combining the effects of rolling contact fatigue and wear has been developed based on mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) theory, continuum damage mechanics (CDM) and the Archard's wear law. A series of benchtop tests were conducted using a triple-contact test rig to study the influence of surface roughness, speed and load on micropitting. The proposed surface damage model was used to simulate the rolling-sliding line contact of surfaces having different surface topography. The film thickness, contact pressure and sub-surface stress were determined by solving the generalized Reynolds equation and using the well-developed discrete convolute and fast Fourier transformation (DC-FFT) method. The jump-in-cycle was assumed to evaluate the accumulated damage based on the tested fatigue life and sub-surface stress histories. Surface topography was updated by calculating the wear height with the Archard's wear equation. Results reveal that micropitting occurs under the combined effect of wear and contact fatigue. The micropitting rate increased then turn to decreased as the lambda ratio (lambda) increased. The contact pressure significantly affected the contact fatigue life and the micropitting rate.

Plural-wavelength flame detector that discriminates between direct and reflected radiation
A flame detector employs a plurality of wavelength selective radiation detectors and a digital signal processor programmed to analyze each of the detector signals, and determine whether radiation is received directly from a small flame source that warrants generation of an alarm. The processor's algorithm employs a normalized cross-correlation analysis of the detector signals to discriminate between radiation received directly from a flame and radiation received from a reflection of a flame to insure that reflections will not trigger an alarm. In addition, the algorithm employs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) frequency spectrum analysis of one of the detector signals to discriminate between flames of different sizes. In a specific application, the detector incorporates two infrared (IR) detectors and one ultraviolet (UV) detector for discriminating between a directly sensed small hydrogen flame, and reflections from a large hydrogen flame. The signals generated by each of the detectors are sampled and digitized for analysis by the digital signal processor, preferably 250 times a second. A sliding time window of approximately 30 seconds of detector data is created using FIFO memories.

Use of Modal Acoustic Emission to Monitor Damage Progression in Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Tows and Implications for Composite Structures
This slide presentation reviews the use of Modal Acoustic Emission to monitor damage progression to carbon fiber/epoxy tows. There is a risk for catastrophic failure of composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) due to burst-before-leak (BBL) stress rupture (SR) failure of carbon-epoxy (C/Ep) COPVs. A lack of quantitative nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is causing problems in current and future spacecraft designs. It is therefore important to develop and demonstrate critical NDE that can be implemented during stages of the design process since the observed rupture can occur with little of no advanced warning. Therefore a program was required to develop quantitative acoustic emission (AE) procedures specific to C/Ep overwraps, but which also have utility for monitoring damage accumulation in composite structure in general, and to lay the groundwork for establishing critical thresholds for accumulated damage in composite structures, such as COPVs, so that precautionary or preemptive engineering steps can be implemented to minimize of obviate the risk of catastrophic failure. A computed Felicity Ratio (FR) coupled with fast Fourier Transform (FFT) frequency analysis shows promise as an analytical pass/fail criterion. The FR analysis and waveform and FFT analysis are reviewed
