Structural finite element (FE) models naturally output displacement or acceleration response data. However, they can also be used to compute stress, internal forces, and strain response. When coupled with a boundary element ...

In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of calibrating an orbiting phased array composed of CubeSat class spacecraft together with a larger reference (or “chief”) spacecraft, comprising an overall Swarm Array. ...

A series of models have been developed to describe the temperature distribution of thermionic

Dispersed Fringe Sensing (DFS) is an efficient and robust method for coarse phasing of segmented primary mirrors (from a quarter of a wavelength up to the depth of focus of a single segment, typically several tens of ...

A new way to dynamically control in-flight pulses in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) single-mode fiber system was proposed at the MPPOI '96 Conference. That system functionally resembles an optical fiber ribbon ...

Resistivity values were experimentally determined using charge storage methods for six samples remaining from the construction of the Internal Discharge Monitor (IDM) flown on the Combined Release and Radiation Effects ...

The implementation, experimentation, and application of contact control schemes for a 7-DOF Robotics Research arm is presented. Three types of control schemes are presented: compliance cntrol, force control, and dual-mode ...

A control strategy for sensor-based collision avoidance and the supporting
