Traditional materials and processes for science, engineering, and technologies in the context of defense systems and military applications.
What are alternative materials to the D6AC steel round bar per General Dynamics specification FMS-1011C used for the A-10 aircraft external fuel tank lug P/N 7540867-03?
What current over-the-horizon logistical resupply technologies are available for aerial and maritime unmanned aerial systems?
Is a subject matter expert available to discuss processes currently accessible for the repair of advanced structural fiber-reinforced composites, like IM7/polyetheretherketone, utilized in aircraft applications?
Marine and aerospace vessels have stringent flammability requirements, defined through the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E1354 Cone Calorimetry standard [1], to protect those onboard Navy vessels in case of fire emergencies.
Companies building next-generation products and breakthrough technologies are often limited by the physical constraints of traditional materials. In aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial tooling, pushing those constraints introduces possible failure points into the system, but…
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Researchers can now observe the phonon dynamics and wave propagation in self-assembly of nanomaterials with unusual properties that rarely exist in nature. This advance will enable researchers to incorporate desired mechanical properties…
Ultra-high, molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites are advanced materials that lack experimentally driven, physics-based computational tools for predicting their response. This challenge exists for traditional fiber-based UHMWPE composites in a softer matrix material, as well…
Unlike conventional single- or few-layer graphene, turbostratic graphene, which is derived from biomass feedstock, can perform across a wide range of metrics and applications. To raise awareness and increase domestic production of turbostratic graphene, this…
The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing, Moving from Evolution to Revolution Engineering Research Center (NSF HAMMER-ERC) is a collaboration between five universities to develop agile manufacturing systems that use new tools and advanced…
The High-Speed/Hypersonic (HSH) Subarea of the Air Platforms Community of Interest is pleased to announce their Technical Roadmap Interchange Meeting (TRIM) in the Washington D.C. area on April 15-16, 2026. Depending on interest, the meeting…
This four-day Military Standard 810 (MIL-STD 810) training focuses on the purpose of each test, the equipment required to perform each test, and the methodology to correctly apply the specified test environments. This class applies…
