With performance advances proposed for the Future Vertical Lift suite of aircraft and advancements in the electronic battlefield, it is imperative that advanced materials and concepts be included in the vehicle designs to meet the aggressive weight reduction objectives, structural requirements, and operational environment capabilities. Integrating electromagnetic (EM) shielding during the design process offers an opportunity to make progress towards the performance goals. To this end, efforts must be made to minimize the impact of this shielding to platform weight and structural performance. This article presents work to develop a hybrid multifunctional composite material technology that incorporates copper mesh into a carbon fiber and thermoplastic matrix structural composite material to achieve required levels of EM shielding and high levels of structural efficiency while reducing the overall weight of the system. This article focuses on the design of a representative helicopter
This study investigates Reynolds number effects on rotor wake vortex development using a hyperbaric rotor facility capable of pressurizing air up to 100 bar. Background-oriented schlieren (BOS) and hot-wire anemometry (HWA) were applied to characterize vortex trajectories, core growth, and circumferential velocity distribution. BOS measurements revealed consistent blade-to-blade trajectory deviations and vortex pairing across all operating conditions, despite that the investigated three-bladed rotor was milled from a single piece of aluminum, ensuring precise manufacturing and a highly symmetric geometry. A statistical scheme was developed to analyze the radial structure of fluctuating tip vortices, which traverse the pointwise fiber-film sensor in a fixed position. With increasing vortex Reynolds number, the tip vortices are more compact with a reduction in core growth. The circulation in the vortices grows with the vortex radial coordinate, and converges at a radial position
Supplementary to the heat or cast analysis, a product analysis may be made on steel in the semifinished or finished form. For definitions and methods of sampling steel for product chemical analysis, refer to SAE J408. A product analysis is a chemical analysis of the semifinished or finished steel to determine conformance to the specification requirements. The range of the specified chemical composition is normally expanded to take into account deviations associated with analytical reproducibility and the heterogeneity of the steel. Individual determinations may vary from the specified heat or cast analysis ranges or limits to the extent shown in Tables 1 through 5. The several determinations of any element in a heat or cast may not vary both above and below the specified range except for lead. Tables 1 through 5 provide permissible limits for various steel forms and composition types. For rephosphorized and resulfurized steels, the product analysis tolerance limits are not applicable
