Outcomes of the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference for Aeronautical Spectrum and Applications

At the conclusion of a nearly four year study cycle following the closing of the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12), the 2015 WRC in November of 2015 considered a number of agenda items and issues relevant to systems and spectrum allocations supporting communications, navigation and surveillance for the operation of civil aviation. Among a number of WRC-15 agenda items and issues, the key agenda items affecting civil aviation included: unmanned aircraft systems use of the Fixed Satellite Service for command and control communications; global flight tracking; new allocations to International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT); and protection of the Fixed Satellite Service to support safe operation of aircraft. A number of other agenda items affecting or potentially affecting civil aviation were also addressed by WRC-15. In this paper we describe the outcomes of WRC-15 for these civil aeronautical-relevant issues. We then outline the civil aviation-related agenda items and issues that will be considered at the upcoming 2019 WRC.

ASTM International Conference on Additive Manufacturing – 2022

The In-Situ Project: Correlating In-situ monitoring data and Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) methods to characterize defect populations in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) material NDE is critical to enable the safe use of additive manufactured (AM) parts in aerospace applications. However, traditional NDE methods are not fully adaptable to complex AM geometries to appropriately screen for critical defects, and L-PBF processes inherently generate defects. In-situ monitoring techniques can give information about the quality of the build process and indicate process variations that could potentially create defects. Proven, causal correlations between in-situ monitoring indications and resulting defects are needed to inform about the final quality of the part. Thus, the development of a new approach is necessary. NASA started a two-phase study that would investigate techniques for characterizing defect populations in L-PBF material, first in material with induced defects, then in a nominal L-PBF process, by correlating in-situ, NDE, and serial sectioning data. Objectives also include the evaluation of seeded defect methodologies for realistic defect creation, creating a baseline of defect populations in a Qualified Material Process (QMP), characterizing the effect of heat treatment, and correlating defect populations with tensile and fatigue properties. By comparing computed tomography images, in-situ monitoring images, and metallography images, the team has been able to draw preliminary conclusions. They include a better understanding of the limitation of the NDE tools, learning about the “healing” of the samples observed during layer building and a comparison study on different laser power variation samples. Those preliminary conclusions will help dictate the follow-up work that will be presented at the conference.

Fusion Conference Awards 2020

Since its inception, ISIF has promoted a high-quality technical program at FUSION. One way to encourage this excellence is to promote the paper awards program. Accordingly, each year the conference includes recognition of the best regular papers and the best student papers. Student papers are those for which the lead author is a full-time graduate (or undergraduate) student at an accredited university. As mandated by the ISIF Board of Directors, the best paper receives the Jean Pierre Le Cadre Award. The best student paper receives the Tammy L. Blair Award. These awards honor the efforts and commitment of both Jean-Pierre and Tammy to the international fusion community over many years.

Retractable Sensor Poster for ANIMMA 2023 Conference

Material Test Reactors (MTRs) such as the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) are used to irradiate nuclear fuels and materials to evaluate their performance after high levels of exposure to a reactor in-pile environment. The test environment within these reactors are extremely harsh and long-term exposure causes sensor decalibration or failure. Most tests only require data points at daily intervals meaning that the sensor does not necessarily need to be in place continuously for the full experiment. One proposed solution to the issue described above is to have a sensor which can be periodically inserted through a guide tube into the test region and retracted; this would act as a reference check on the sensors installed permanently. If a compact and robust enough design can be made, it has the potential to extend the life of the sensor and keep it within calibration. This LRS entry is for a poster summarizing a presentation that will be given at the ANIMMA 2023 conference. The poster will be on display in the Measurement Sciences Laboratory booth at ANIMMA. Most of the material on this poster came from LRS entry INL/CON-23-72797.
