REVOLUTIONARY AVIATION TECHNOLOGIES BRANCH (RATB) MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT. THE MISSION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY AVIATION TECHNOLOGY BRANCH IS TO IDENTIFY, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOP INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES THAT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITIES OF FUTURE AIR VEHICLES. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, THE BRANCH: 1) INVESTIGATES AND MATURES HIGH-RISK, HIGH-PAYOFF TECHNOLOGIES BY CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL RESEARCH 2) DEVELOPS, PERFORMS, ASSESSES, AND APPLIES ADVANCED EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND 3) CONDUCTS MULTIDISCIPLINARY SYSTEMS ANALYSIS STUDIES TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES AND TO DETERMINE THE SYSTEM-LEVEL BENEFITS OF THESE EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES. AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT ON ADVANCED MATERIALS TECHNOLOGIES. THE NEW PARADIGM IN PERFORMANCE DEMANDS MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY OF MATERIALS SYSTEMS WHILE MAINTAINING OR INCREASING STRENGTH AND DURABILITY. RESEARCH PERFORMED UNDER THIS TASK WILL FOCUS ON TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AREAS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ELECTROMAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS, STRUCTURAL COMPOSITES, MULTIFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, NANOCOMPOSITES, LOW TEMPERATURE ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS, NOVEL COATINGS, AND NOVEL INORGANIC-ORGANIC HYBRIDS. THE CONTRACTOR WILL WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER RESEARCHERS TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES AND MILESTONES.

STUDIES OF MATERIAL DAMAGE THROUGH NON-DESTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUES SUPPORT NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER IN RESEARCH RELATED TO THE STUDY OF MATERIAL AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE THROUGH NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE) IN GENERAL AND ACOUSTIC EMISSION (AE) IN PARTICULAR. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ADVANCE NDE METHODS AS TESTING PROCESSES IN SUPPORT OF MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND APPLICATIONS. THE WORK ARISES FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES WITHIN OR RELATED TO NASA S MISSIONS AND CAN SUPPORT NUMEROUS MATERIAL TYPES (METAL, COMPOSITE, OR NEW AND UNIQUE MATERIALS) AND STRUCTURAL TYPES (FROM COMPONENTS TO FULL STRUCTURES) THAT MAY INVOLVE NOVEL COMPLEXITIES. OF INTEREST ARE MANY STRUCTURES FOR AERONAUTICS AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF SPACE VEHICLES AND SATELLITES, WHICH INCLUDE THE ORION CREW MODULE, COMPLEX MULTILAYERED PRESSURE VESSELS, STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TEST STRUCTURES, AND TEST STRUCTURES THAT ARE YET TO BE NAMED. THIS EFFORT CONTINUES THE WORK CONDUCTED UNDER NIA IDIQ CONTRACT NNL13AA08B, TASK ORDER NNL14AA69T.

TRANSITION PHYSICS AND MODELING FOR HYPERSONIC VEHICLES. NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER HAS FORMED A HIGH-SPEED LAMINAR-TURBULENT TRANSITION (HBLT) TEAM CONSISTING OF RESEARCHERS FROM MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS COLLABORATING IN AN EFFECT TO TACKLE BOUNDARY-LAYER TRANSITION PROBLEMS THAT ARISE IN THE HYPERSONIC FLOW REGIME. THE STUDY OF LAMINAR-TURBULENT BOUNDARY-LAYER TRANSITION IS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF RESEARCH IN FLOWS OVER HYPERSONIC VEHICLES. THE ACCURATE PREDICTION OF TRANSITION LOCATIONS ON SUCH VEHICLES IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS. THE LANGLEY STABILITY AND TRANSITION ANALYSIS CODE (LASTRAC) IS A PUBLICLY RELEASED CODE (US-PERSON ONLY) FOR BOUNDARY-LAYER TRANSITION ANALYSIS, AND IS BEING USED BY MANY IN THE INDUSTRY AND ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS. FOR HYPERSONIC FLOWS SUCH AS THOSE OVER AN ATMOSPHERIC REENTRY VEHICLE, THERE ARE CHEMICAL REACTIONS TAKING PLACE AND NON-EQUILIBRIUM EFFECTS BECOME IMPORTANT. THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THIS TASK IS TO ENHANCE LASTRAC BY INCORPORATING CHEMICAL AND NON-EQUILIBRIUM CAPABILITIES, WHICH IS CURRENTLY VERY LIMITED. WITH THESE ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES, A WIDER RANGE OF PROBLEMS IN HYPERSONIC FLOWS CAN BE SOLVED. THE WORK PROPOSED HERE IS FOR THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS LINE TO INCLUDE NONLINEAR CHEMICAL REACTION MODELS IN LASTRAC.
