M.J. Warner, D. J. Son, D.M. Lester Thiokol Propulsion Brigham City, Utah Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.
This paper presents the design, analysis, fabrication, and testing of a 940 mm (37-inch) diameter by 1,118 mm (44-inch) long cryogenic demonstration tank that was developed and manufactured under a contract for SRS Technologies of Huntsville, Alabama. ...

10KW SMALL WIND TURBINE SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT USING A COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
Gaku Kimura, Takaya Sakurai, Toshiyuki Uzawa, GH Craft Ltd., 733 Itazuma, Gotemba-shi, Shizuoka, Japan 412-0048 www.Ghcraft.com
This paper deals with some of wind turbine solutions based on higher efficiency premises for small wind turbine systems, coupled with demands for unique Japanese climate and wind condition. CFRP rotor blades are made using a light RTM (L-RTM) process with

2006 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY HUMAN POWERED SUBMARINE: THE VIKING DREKAR
Nicole Larson, Carissa Book, Randy Holt, Dave Gertler Western Washington University . Plastics Engineering Technology Bellingham, WA 98225
Biennially, the Human Powered Submarine (HPS) Races are held in Southern California. Western Washington University (WWU) participated by entering a seventeen-foot long, two- person, propeller driven submarine named the Drekar. It was entirely student d...

2D MICROMECHANICS AND EFFECTIVE MODULI OF CIRCULAR FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITES
Haeng-Ki Lee, Bong-Rae Kim Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology 373-1 Guseong-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejon 305-701, South Korea
This paper summarizes some results of a numerical study (Kim and Lee [1]) conducted to develop a prediction model for circular fiber-reinforced composites considering a finite representative volume element (RVE). The finite Eshelby??s tensor proposed by L

3-D PROCESS MODEL FOR AUTOCLAVE CURING OF LARGE COMPOSITE STRUCTURES
X. Zeng, J. Raghavan, and V. Kaushik Composites Materials & Structures Research Group, University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 5V6, Canada Loren Hendrickson Boeing Canada Technology - Winnipeg Division, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3J 3M6, Canada
A three-dimensional finite element-based process model has been developed for the prediction of process-induced warpage during autoclave processing of large composite structures. This process model includes various sub-modules viz. input module, 3-D SIMCL

3D SPLINE VARIATIONAL ANALYSIS OF A COMPOSITE DOUBLE-LAP SHEAR JOINT
Gregory A. Schoeppner, David H. Mollenhauer Air Force Research Laboratory, AFRL/MLBC, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433 and Endel Iarve University of Dayton Research Institute, Dayton, OH 45469
Adhesive bonding has been used to join or repair metallic and/or composite structural components to achieve or restore their designed structural stiffness and strengths. It has been demonstrated in numerous programs over many years that the critical in...

3D WEAVING: WHAT, HOW, AND WHERE
Larry Dickinson, Mansour Mohamed and Alexander Bogdanovich 3TEX, Inc. 10 17 Main Campus Drive, Suite 3200, Raleigh, NC 27606
There have been many publications on 3D Weaving, and there are numerous patents on a variety of devices that may be used to make a 3D Woven structure. The majority of the 3D woven products that are currently commercially available are formed by a 2D we...

3D-BRAIDED TEXTILE PREFORMS ¡V FROM VIRTUAL DESIGN TO HIGH-PERFORMANCE-BRAID
Jan Stueve, Thomas Gries Institut fuer Textiltechnik, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany Narciso Tolosana Enrech Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain
Among various textile processes for the production of textile reinforcement structures, 3D-braiding is a quite young technology that enables the production of near-net-shape textile preforms without generating waste. First applications of 3D-braids for...

900°F Glass Transition Temperature Material for Structural Composites and High Temperature Composite Tooling Applications
Lincoln, McHale, Jurek, Hout, Curliss
P2SITM 900HT composite prepreg system exhibits a glass transition temperature of 900°F (482°C) and excellent mechanical strength retention above 400°C. Void free composites are easily fabricated into structural components using a variety of reinforceme...

A 3-D PERCOLATION MODEL FOR CONDUCTIVE PARTICULATE COMPOSITES
D.L. Dummer P.E. & , D.W. Radford PhD. Composite Materials, Manufacture, & Structures Laboratory (970) 491-8677 Colorado State University Mechanical Engineering Fort Collins, CO 80523-1374
Percolation in particulate filled composites has not been adequately simulated in a 3D continuum space. The physical attributes of these two-phase materials are not well characterized by the approaches of classical percolation theory and thus, predic...
