Coronal Mass Ejection-driven Shocks and the Associated Sudden Commencements-sudden Impulses

Interplanetary (IP) shocks are mainly responsible for the sudden compression of the magnetosphere, causing storm sudden commencement (SC) and sudden impulses (SIs) which are detected by ground-based magnetometers. On the basis of the list of 222 IP shocks compiled by Gopalswamy et al., we have investigated the dependence of SC/SIs amplitudes on the speed of the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that drive the shocks near the Sun as well as in the interplanetary medium. We find that about 91% of the IP shocks were associated with SC/SIs. The average speed of the SC/SI-associated CMEs is 1015 km/s, which is almost a factor of 2 higher than the general CME speed. When the shocks were grouped according to their ability to produce type II radio burst in the interplanetary medium, we find that the radio-loud (RL) shocks produce a much larger SC/SI amplitude (average approx. 32 nT) compared to the radio-quiet (RQ) shocks (average approx. 19 nT). Clearly, RL shocks are more effective in producing SC/SIs than the RQ shocks. We also divided the IP shocks according to the type of IP counterpart of interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs): magnetic clouds (MCs) and nonmagnetic clouds. We find that the MC-associated shock speeds are better correlated with SC/SI amplitudes than those associated with non-MC ejecta. The SC/SI amplitudes are also higher for MCs than ejecta. Our results show that RL and RQ type of shocks are important parameters in producing the SC/SI amplitude.

The Effect of Fiber Strength Stochastics and Local Fiber Volume Fraction on Multiscale Progressive Failure of Composites

Continuous fiber unidirectional polymer matrix composites (PMCs) can exhibit significant local variations in fiber volume fraction as a result of processing conditions that can lead to further local differences in material properties and failure behavior. In this work, the coupled effects of both local variations in fiber volume fraction and the empirically-based statistical distribution of fiber strengths on the predicted longitudinal modulus and local tensile strength of a unidirectional AS4 carbon fiber/ Hercules 3502 epoxy composite were investigated using the special purpose NASA Micromechanics Analysis Code with Generalized Method of Cells (MAC/GMC); local effective composite properties were obtained by homogenizing the material behavior over repeating units cells (RUCs). The predicted effective longitudinal modulus was relatively insensitive to small (~8%) variations in local fiber volume fraction. The composite tensile strength, however, was highly dependent on the local distribution in fiber strengths. The RUC-averaged constitutive response can be used to characterize lower length scale material behavior within a multiscale analysis framework that couples the NASA code FEAMAC and the ABAQUS finite element solver. Such an approach can be effectively used to analyze the progressive failure of PMC structures whose failure initiates at the RUC level. Consideration of the effect of local variations in constituent properties and morphologies on progressive failure of PMCs is a central aspect of the application of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) principles for composite materials.

Microstructural Influence on Deformation and Fatigue Life of Composites Using the Generalized Method of Cells

A fully coupled deformation and damage approach to modeling the response of composite materials and composite laminates is presented. It is based on the semi-­‐analytical generalized method of cells (GMC) micromechanics model as well as its higher fidelity counterpart, HFGMC, both of which provide closed-form constitutive equations for composite materials as well as the micro scale stress and strain fields in the composite phases. The provided constitutive equations allow GMC and HFGMC to function within a higher scale structural analysis (e.g., finite element analysis or lamination theory) to represent a composite material point, while the availability of the micro fields allow the incorporation of lower scale sub­‐models to represent local phenomena in the fiber and matrix. Further, GMC's formulation performs averaging when applying certain governing equations such that some degree of microscale field accuracy is surrendered in favor of extreme computational efficiency, rendering the method quite attractive as the centerpiece in a integrated computational material engineering (ICME) structural analysis; whereas HFGMC retains this microscale field accuracy, but at the price of significantly slower computational speed. Herein, the sensitivity of deformation and the fatigue life of graphite/epoxy PMC composites, with both ordered and disordered microstructures, has been investigated using this coupled deformation and damage micromechanics based approach. The local effects of fiber breakage and fatigue damage are included as sub‐models that operate on the microscale for the individual composite phases. For analysis of laminates, classical lamination theory is employed as the global or structural scale model, while GMC/HFGMC is embedded to operate on the microscale to simulate the behavior of the composite material within each laminate layer. A key outcome of this study is the statistical influence of microstructure and micromechanics idealization (GMC or HFGMC) on the overall accuracy of unidirectional and laminated composite deformation and fatigue response.

A Giant Radio Halo in a Low-Mass SZ-Selected Galaxy Cluster: ACT-CL J0256.5+0006

We present the detection of a giant radio halo (GRH) in the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ)-selected merging galaxy cluster ACT-CL J0256.5+0006 (zeta = 0.363), observed with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope at 325 MHz and 610 MHz. We find this cluster to host a faint (S(sub 610) = 5.6 +/- 1.4 mJy) radio halo with an angular extent of 2.6 arcmin, corresponding to 0.8 Mpc at the cluster redshift, qualifying it as a GRH. J0256 is one of the lowest-mass systems, M(sub 500,SZ) = (5.0 +/- 1.2) x 10(sup14) solar mass foud to host a GRH. We measure the GRH at lower significance at 325 MHz (S(sub 325) = 10.3 +/- 5.3 mJy), obtaining a spectral index measurement of alpha sup 610 sub 325 = 1.0(sup +0.7)(sub 0.9). This result is consistent with the mean spectral index of the population of typical radio halos, alpha = 1.2 +/- 0.2. Adopting the latter value, we determine a 1.4 GHz radio power of P(sub 1.4GHz) = (1.0 +/- 03) x 10(sup 24) W Hz(sup -1), placing this cluster within the scatter of known scaling relations. Various lines of evidence, including the ICM morphology, suggest that ACT-CL J0256.5+0006 is composed of two subclusters. We determine a merger mass ratio of 7:4, and a line-of-sight velocity difference of perpendicular = 1880 +/- 210 km s(sup -1). We construct a simple merger model of infer relevant time-scales in the merger. From its location on the P1.4GHz-L(sub x) scaling relation, we infer that we observe ACT-CL J0256.5+0006 just before first core crossing.

Microstructure-Sensitive Investigation of Fracture Using Acoustic Emission Coupled With Electron Microscopy

A novel technique using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring is proposed to investigate microstructure-sensitive fatigue and fracture of metals. The coupling between quasi in situ microscopy with actual in situ nondestructive evaluation falls into the ICME framework and the idea of quantitative data-driven characterization of material behavior. To validate the use of AE monitoring inside the SEM chamber, Aluminum 2024-B sharp notch specimen were tested both inside and outside the microscope using a small scale mechanical testing device. Subsequently, the same type of specimen was tested inside the SEM chamber. Load data were correlated with both AE information and observations of microcracks around grain boundaries as well as secondary cracks, voids, and slip bands. The preliminary results are in excellent agreement with similar findings at the mesoscale. Extensions of the application of this novel technique are discussed.

Vision 2040: A Roadmap for Integrated, Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Materials and Systems

Over the last few decades, advances in high-performance computing, new materials characterization methods, and, more recently, an emphasis on integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) and additive manufacturing have been a catalyst for multiscale modeling and simulation-based design of materials and structures in the aerospace industry. While these advances have driven significant progress in the development of aerospace components and systems, that progress has been limited by persistent technology and infrastructure challenges that must be overcome to realize the full potential of integrated materials and systems design and simulation modeling throughout the supply chain. As a result, NASA's Transformational Tools and Technology (TTT) Project sponsored a study (performed by a diverse team led by Pratt & Whitney) to define the potential 25-year future state required for integrated multiscale modeling of materials and systems (e.g., load-bearing structures) to accelerate the pace and reduce the expense of innovation in future aerospace and aeronautical systems. This report describes the findings of this 2040 Vision study (e.g., the 2040 vision state; the required interdependent core technical work areas, Key Element (KE); identified gaps and actions to close those gaps; and major recommendations) which constitutes a community consensus document as it is a result of over 450 professionals input obtain via: 1) four society workshops (AIAA, NAFEMS, and two TMS), 2) community-wide survey, and 3) the establishment of 9 expert panels (one per KE) consisting on average of 10 non-team members from academia, government and industry to review, update content, and prioritize gaps and actions. The study envisions the development of a cyber-physical-social ecosystem comprised of experimentally verified and validated computational models, tools, and techniques, along with the associated digital tapestry, that impacts the entire supply chain to enable cost-effective, rapid, and revolutionary design of fit-for-purpose materials, components, and systems. Although the vision focused on aeronautics and space applications, it is believed that other engineering communities (e.g., automotive, biomedical, etc.) can benefit as well from the proposed framework with only minor modifications. Finally, it is TTT's hope and desire that this vision provides the strategic guidance to both public and private research and development decision makers to make the proposed 2040 vision state a reality and thereby provide a significant advancement in the United States global competitiveness.

Solar Energetic Particle Anisotropies Observed by STEREO/LET

The Low Energy Telescopes (LETs) onboard the twin STEREO spacecraft can measure the anisotropies of energetic particles for protons through iron at energies of 1.8-12 MeV/nucleon, depending on species. A large variety of anisotropies are observed. Unidirectional beamed distributions often appear at the onset of magnetically well-connected solar energetic particle (SEP) events, while long-lasting bidirectional flows are seen within several interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) due to either injection of particles at both footpoints of the CME or mirroring of a unidirectional beam. Several examples of a loss-cone distribution are clearly seen, in which particles with pitch angles far from the field direction are mirrored while those with smaller pitch angles are not, either because the magnetic field strength did not become large enough to turn the smaller pitch angle particles around, or more scattering occurred between the observer and the more distant mirror points of these particles. Distributions with pronounced depletions at 90 deg to the field, as well as those that instead have enhancements at 90 deg (i.e., trapped distributions) are also seen. The magnitude of the anisotropies often depends on particle energy and species, with lower energy particles typically more anisotropic than higher energy particles. We present some of the more interesting LET anisotropy observations throughout the STEREO mission to date and discuss the implications of these observations for SEP transport in the heliosphere.

The Statistical Properties of Solar Wind Temperature Parameters Near 1 Au

We present a long-duration (approx. 10 yr) statistical analysis of the temperatures, plasma betas, and temperature ratios for the electron, proton, and alpha-particle populations observed by the Wind spacecraft near 1 au. The mean(median) scalar temperatures are T(sub e)(sub tot) = 12.2(11.9) eV, T(sub p)(sub tot) = 12.7(8.6) eV, and T(sub a)(sub tot) = 23.9(10.8) eV. The mean(median) total plasma betas are Beta(sub e)(sub tot) = 2.31(1.09), Beta(sub p)(sub tot) = 1.79(1.05), and Beta(sub a)(sub tot) = 0.17(0.05). The mean(median) temperature ratios are (T(sub e)/T(sub p))(sub tot) = 1.64(1.27), (T(sub e)/T(sub a))(sub tot) = 1.24(0.82), and (T(sub a)/T(sub p))(sub tot) = 2.50(1.94). We also examined these parameters during time intervals that exclude interplanetary (IP) shocks, times within the magnetic obstacles (MOs) of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), and times that exclude MOs. The only times that show significant alterations to any of the parameters examined are those during MOs. In fact, the only parameter that does not show a significant change during MOs is the electron temperature. Although each parameter shows a broad range of values, the vast majority are near the median. We also compute particle–particle collision rates and compare to effective wave–particle collision rates. We find that, for reasonable assumptions of wave amplitude and occurrence rates, the effect of wave–particle interactions on the plasma is equal to or greater than the effect of Coulomb collisions. Thus, wave–particle interactions should not be neglected when modeling the solar wind.

EUV Diagnostics of Optically Thick Plasmas Using the 304 Å Channel

A fundamental limitation of current EUV diagnostic techniques is the need to neglect the He II emission contribution in the 304Å channel. This limits our ability to use strong observations available to us and increases uncertainties in the measurements made. A new EUV diagnostic technique is introduced that accounts for absorption as well as emission contributions from emitting channels such as 304 Å. This new technique can be equally applied to emitting and non-emitting channels, paving the way for more realistic discussion of the heating and energetics of transient plasmas using a wider range of observations. The diagnostic technique is used to compute the dynamics and energetics of a filament eruption observed in the high-cadence SDO/AIA and the associated ICME is observed by ACE/SWICS. The analysis gives us robust measurements of filament dynamics, energetics and its ionization history in the low solar corona. A comparison of these results with results calculated with techniques where He II emission in 304 Å is not considered allowed us to quantify the contribution from emission and comment on the robustness of our method.

On the Rigidity Spectrum of Cosmic-Ray Variations within Propagating InterplanetaryDisturbances: Neutron Monitor and SOHO/EPHIN Observations at∼1–10GV

The rigidity dependence of all Forbush decreases (FDs) recorded from 1995 to 2015 has been determined using neutron monitor (NM) and Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) (EPHIN) spacecraft data, covering the energy (rigidity) range from ∼433 MeV (1GV) to 9.10 GeV (10 GV). We analyzed a total of 421 events and determined the spectrum in rigidity with an inverse power-law fit. As a result, the mean spectral index was identified to be 〈γF〉 = 0.46 ± 0.02. The majority (∼66%) of the FDs have γF within the range 0.3–0.7. The remaining one-third of the events (∼33%) have either (very) soft or hard FD spectra, with the latter being more common than the former. Significant variations of γF occur within almost every FD event. During the initial FD decay phase the spectrum becomes gradually harder, in contrast to the recovery phase, when it becomes softer. Additionally, low energies (rigidities) seem to be better suited for studying the fine structure of interplanetary disturbances (primarily interplanetary coronal mass ejections) that lead to FDs. In particular, FDs recorded by the EPHIN instrument on SOHO better capture a two-step structure than FDs observed by NMs. Finally, the ejecta of an ICME, especially when identified as a magnetic cloud, often leads to abrupt changes in the slope of γF.

Prompt Response of the Dayside Magnetosphere to Discrete Structures within the Sheath Region of a Coronal Mass Ejection

A sequence of discrete solar wind structures within the sheath region of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) on Nov 06, 2015 caused a series of compressions and releases of the dayside magnetosphere. Each compression resulted in a brief adiabatic enhancement of ions (electrons) driving bursts of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (whistler mode chorus) wave growth across the dayside magnetosphere. Fine-structured rising tones were observed in the EMIC wave bursts, resulting in nonlinear scattering of relativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt. Multipoint observations allow us to study the spatial structure and evolution of these sheath structures as they propagate Earthward from L1 as well as the spatio-temporal characteristics of the magnetospheric response. This event highlights the importance of fine-scale solar wind structure, in particular within complex sheath regions, in driving dayside phenomena within the inner magnetosphere.

NASA, defense, academia, and commercial space companies seek to develop orbital manufacturing to enhance mission capabilities. In-space welding and joining are needed for space-based manufacturing. We propose a permanent low-earth orbital welding and joining testbed for scientific study of relevant physical phenomena and development of welding and joining processes to technical maturity. Such data will enable integrated computational materials engineering(ICME)to elucidate the underlying physical and metallurgical processes needed to achieve critical space welding and joining operations.

A Multiwavelength Dynamical State Analysis of ACT-CLJ0019.6+0336

In our study, we show a multiwavelength view of ACT-CL J0019.6+0336 (which hosts aradio halo), to investigate the cluster dynamics, morphology, and ICM. We use a combination ofXMM-Newton images, Dark Energy Survey (DES) imaging and photometry, SDSS spectroscopicinformation, and 1.16 GHz MeerKAT data to study the cluster properties. Various X-ray and opticalmorphology parameters are calculated to investigate the level of disturbance. We find disturbancesin two X-ray parameters and the optical density map shows elongated and axisymmetric structureswith the main cluster component southeast of the cluster centre and another component northwest ofthe cluster centre. We also find a BCG offset of∼950 km/s from the mean velocity of the cluster, anda discrepancy between the SZ mass, X-ray mass, and dynamical mass (MX,500andMSZ,500lies>3σaway fromMdyn,500), showing that J0019 is a merging cluster and probably in a post-merging phase.

Maturation of Additive Manufactured Aerospace Alloys and Development of Mechanical and Thermophysical Properties for Space Applications

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been involved in the development and maturation of metal additive manufacturing (AM) for space applications since the late 2000’s. Several efforts have focused on the understanding of AM processes through design optimization, component fabrication, material characterization, testing, standards development, and infusion into propulsion development for flight applications. NASA and partners have matured commonly used aerospace alloys from various alloy families (Nickel, Steel, Iron, Aluminum, and Titanium) and AM processes. An extensive effort has been ongoing between NASA, industry partners, and academia to complete detailed AM process and heat treatment characterization, in addition to generating temperature-dependent mechanical and thermophysical properties. This presentation highlights the characterization and property results using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and laser powder directed energy deposition (LP-DED) processes among various alloys. In addition to commonly used alloys, there is a need for ongoing AM optimized alloys using integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) and process development for high performance applications. The applications targeted are launch vehicles, liquid rocket engines, advanced propulsion systems, advanced power systems, and in-space propulsion with high heat fluxes, high pressure, and that utilize propellants such as hydrogen, which can degrade alloys. This presentation will also discuss some of the ongoing novel alloy development and maturation using AM for use in these harsh environments, such as GRCop-42, GRCop-84, NASA HR-1, and C-103. The results from these processes have demonstrated that AM can enable rapid development and new AM optimized alloys can yield higher performance. These alloys have undergone modeling, fundamental metallurgical evaluations, heat treatment studies, and microstructure characterization and mechanical testing campaigns. This, combined with direct application-specific component fabrication and hot-fire testing, can enable the increase of the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) through high duty-cycle testing. This presentation provides a background and overview of these various common and AM-enabled alloys and processing developments including the initial effort related to metallurgical, mechanical, and thermophysical property studies. It also covers the latest advancement in the parallel component development, hot-fire testing, and future developments for these alloys.

Extreme Temperature Additively Manufactured GRX-810 Alloy Development and Hot-fire Testing for Liquid Rocket Engines

Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized component design for liquid rocket engines by offering rapid manufacturing capabilities. This has led to significant opportunities for development and flight programs in the propulsion industry, resulting in cost and schedule savings, as well as performance improvements through new designs and alloy development. A noteworthy example is the GRX-810 oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloy, which was specifically developed for extreme temperatures. This Ni-Co-Cr based alloy was created using integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) techniques to focus on a new class of materials with exceptional temperature and oxidation-resistant properties. The GRX-810 alloy utilizes AM processes to incorporate nano-scale yttria particles throughout its microstructure, resulting in remarkable enhancements. Compared to traditional Nickel-based superalloys, the GRX-810 alloy offers a two-fold increase in tensile strength, 1,000-fold better creep properties, and two-fold improvement in oxidation resistance. NASA successfully demonstrated the development and manufacturing of components using the GRX-810 alloy through laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and laser powder directed energy deposition (LP-DED) processes. Extensive efforts were made to model, evaluate metallurgical properties, develop heat treatment processes, characterize the microstructure, and determine mechanical properties. The GRX-810 alloy was specifically designed for aerospace applications, including liquid rocket engine injectors, preburners, turbines, and hot-section components, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1,100 °C. The objective of this alloy development is to bridge the temperature gap between traditional Nickel-based superalloys and refractory alloys. This paper provides a comprehensive comparison of the GRX-810 alloy with other aerospace alloys, discussing its microstructure, mechanical properties, processing advancements, component development, and hot-fire testing results. The ultimate goal of this development was to elevate the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of the GRX-810 alloy, enabling its integration into NASA and commercial aerospace applications.
