The development, design and test of a 66 W/kg (30-W/lb) roll-up solar array

A program to develop a 250 square foot roll-up solar array with a power-to-weight ratio exceeding 30 watts per pound is described. The system design and fabrication of a full scale engineering development model are discussed. The system and development test program results are presented. Special test equipment and test procedures are included, together with comparisons of experimental and analytical results.

Roll-modulated lifting entry optimization.

Equations of lifting entry are considered for fixed-angle-of-attack vehicular motion with path control for roll modulation of lift. Attention is directed to relocation and its consequences for the fixed-angle-of-attack atmospheric entry problem. Two reduced-order methods for working with the resulting system of equations are briefly examined. The methods are deemed to warrant further study.

Improved diffusion welding and roll welding of titanium alloys

Auto-vacuum cleaning technique was applied to titanium parts prior to welding. This provides oxide-free welding surfaces. Diffusion welding can be accomplished in as little as five minutes of hot pressing. Roll welding can be accomplished with only ten percent deformation.

Carbide factor predicts rolling-element bearing fatigue life

Analysis was made to determine correlation between number and size of carbide particles and rolling-element fatigue. Correlation was established, and carbide factor was derived that can be used to predict fatigue life more effectively than such variables as heat treatment, chemical composition, and hardening mechanism.
