Lightning induced currents in aircraft wiring using low level injection techniques

Various techniques were studied to predict the transient current induced into aircraft wiring bundles as a result of an aircraft lightning strike. A series of aircraft measurements were carried out together with a theoretical analysis using computer modeling. These tests were applied to various aircraft and also to specially constructed cylinders installed within coaxial return conductor systems. Low level swept frequency CW (carrier waves), low level transient and high level transient injection tests were applied to the aircraft and cylinders. Measurements were made to determine the transfer function between the aircraft drive current and the resulting skin currents and currents induced on the internal wiring. The full threat lightning induced transient currents were extrapolated from the low level data using Fourier transform techniques. The aircraft and cylinders used were constructed from both metallic and CFC (carbon fiber composite) materials. The results show the pulse stretching phenomenon which occurs for CFC materials due to the diffusion of the lightning current through carbon fiber materials. Transmission Line Matrix modeling techniques were used to compare theoretical and measured currents.

Directional Solidification and Characterization of Hg(0.89) Mn(0.11)Te

Two boules of Hg(0.89)Mn(0.11)Te(MMT) were solidified using the vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger method. Translation rates of 0.09 and 0. 18 microns/s were used. The influence of growth rate on axial compositional homogeneity in the MMT boules was evaluated experimentally by conducting precision density measurements on radial slices taken from each boule. In addition, Plane Front Solidification theory and segregation coefficient (k) data for the Hg(1-x)Mn(x)Te system were used to fit theoretical composition profiles to the measured MMT axial composition profiles. The strong correlation between the measured and calculated MMT axial composition profiles indicates diffusion dominated axial solute redistribution in the boules under the applied growth conditions. The analysis of the MMT axial composition profiles by Plane Front Solidification theory allowed the calculation of the effective diffusion coefficient (D(eff) = 3.5 x l0(exp -5) sq cm/s). The k-values for the Hg(1-x)Mn(x)Te system and the D(sub eff) - value were then used to verify that both boules were solidified under conditions which did not exceed the Constitutional Supercooling Criteria under ideal conditions. Finally, a preliminary examination of the radial compositional variation in each MMT was made using Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR). The radial homogeneity in the MMT boules was found to be comparable for both translation rates.

Spectroscopic Analysis of Pu-bearing Compounds in Double-Walled Cells

Spectroscopic analysis of radiological materials has been historically limited to radiological labs with 11 older or less advanced scientific instrumentation. The development of double-walled cells (DWCs) at 12 the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) has enabled Pu-bearing compounds to be removed 13 from radiological laboratories and studied in our radiologically clean spectroscopy lab with state-of14 the-art instrumentation. In this manuscript, we discuss the contributions of DWCs that have allowed 15 the application of Raman spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy 16 (DRIFTS), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) in the shortwave infrared, and gamma 17 spectroscopy at SRNL. Significant advances have been made in the understanding of thermal 18 decomposition of Pu(III) and Pu(IV) oxalates, the alpha-induced damage to the PuO2 crystal lattice, 19 and the effect of calcination temperatures to the quality of PuO2. These techniques have enabled 20 methods to conduct PuO2 age dating since last calcination and estimate the calcination temperature 21 with Raman and DRS. Additional spectroscopic information measured with DRIFTS has provided a 22 path to observe the evolution of carbon species with calcination temperature while gamma 23 spectroscopy provides information on age dating since last purification.

Insights into the Promotion with Ru of Co/TiO 2 Fischer–Tropsch Catalysts: An In Situ Spectroscopic Study

Although ruthenium is a common promoter for cobalt-based Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts, the origin of Ru promotion and promoter concentration effects remains controversial. To gain a fundamental understanding of the Ru promotion effects, we herein performed an in situ spectroscopic study by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)–Auger of working Co/TiO 2 catalysts (ca. 12 wt % Co, pure anatase TiO2 phase) promoted with different amounts of Ru (0.1–1.2 wt %). At typical FTS conditions (220 °C, 20 bar, H 2 /CO = 2), the activity in terms of both metal-time-yield (MTY) and initial turnover frequency (TOF) was maximized for the catalysts promoted with 0.1–0.2 wt % Ru, for which most of the Ru was alloyed with Co in bimetallic nanoparticles. The analysis of Auger electrons evidenced that the lower (apparent) TOF of accessible Co0 sites in the absence of Ru and at Ru concentrations beyond 0.2 wt % is bridged to the development, under reaction conditions, of FTS-inactive cobalt carbide (CoC x ) and cobalt oxide (CoO x ) patches, respectively, at the outermost surface of cobalt crystallites.

Characterization of DESI fiber assignment incompleteness effect on 2-point clustering and mitigation methods for DR1 analysis

We present an in-depth analysis of the fiber assignment incompleteness in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1). This incompleteness is caused by the restricted mobility of the robotic fiber positioner in the DESI focal plane, which limits the number of galaxies that can be observed at the same time, especially at small angular separations. As a result, the observed clustering amplitude is suppressed in a scale-dependent manner, which, if not addressed, can severely impact the inference of cosmological parameters. We discuss the methods adopted for simulating fiber assignment on mocks and data. In particular, we introduce the fast fiber assignment (FFA) emulator, which was employed to obtain the power spectrum covariance adopted for the DR1 full-shape analysis. We present the mitigation techniques, organised in two classes: measurement stage and model stage. We then use high fidelity mocks as a reference to quantify both the accuracy of the FFA emulator and the effectiveness of the different measurement-stage mitigation techniques. This complements the studies conducted in a parallel paper for the model-stage techniques, namely the θ-cut approach. We find that pairwise inverse probability (PIP) weights with angular upweighting recover the “true” clustering in all the cases considered, in both Fourier and configuration space. Notably, we present the first ever power spectrum measurement with PIP weights from real data.

Contrast Matching Biopolymers: A SANS-Based Approach to Structural Characterization of Chitosan

Immobilizing enzymes in polysaccharide-based matrices has been shown to improve both their stability and their catalytic efficiency. Among available materials, chitosan was selected for its abundance, biocompatibility, and versatility in a range of applications. While the broader aim of this work is to study chitosan as a matrix for immobilizing carbonic anhydrase (CA) for CO₂ capture, this study focused on determining the contrast match point (CMP) of hydrogenated and deuterated chitosan in D₂O:H₂O mixtures to enable future structural investigations using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Previous work successfully synthesized deuterated chitosan from Rhizopus oryzae mycelia and assessed the degree of deuteration using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Building on this foundation, the current study determined the CMPs of both H-chitosan and D-chitosan by performing SANS measurements across a range of D₂O:H₂O solvent contrasts. The extracted CMPs for both forms correlated well with their respective calculated scattering length densities (SLDs), validating the experimental approach. These results establish a critical reference for selective contrast matching in future SANS studies of carbonic anhydrase immobilized in chitosan matrices, enabling detailed structural analysis of enzyme–matrix interactions.

Chapter 4: Physically informed deep learning networks for simulating microstructure evolution of 3D polycrystals

As discussed in the previous chapter, high energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM) is used to study the micromechanical evolution of a material during in situ loading. HEDM experiments have been used to verify crystal plasticity (CP) simulations [119, 91, 90, 120], for experimental planning, material design, and to further analyze experimental results. However, Fast Fourier transform-based CP (CP-FFT) or finite element-based CP (CP-FE) methods are often too slow to be used in real-time during an experiment. CP-FFT is faster than CP-FE simulations due to the absence of meshing, but can still take hours to simulate the response of a single volume depending on the size and number of strain steps [127]. Reducing computation time would create a larger exploration space in planning and design, and enable faster analysis of experimental results and real-time feedback during an experiment. This research expands upon previous works to develop a workflow for predicting the full-field evolution of a 3D polycrystal. The workflow is simplified from previous works to predict only orientation and elastic strain tensors (from which stress tensors are calculated). The network is physically informed through loss functions and network architecture for a more robust model. The orientation predictions are informed about the cubic crystal symmetry of the material by incorporating disorientation and misorientation information into the network architecture and loss. The Von Mises stress is used to enforce the correct stress-strain trends in the strain tensor predictions. Additional total strain steps from the elastic and elastoplastic region are included to better capture the stress-strain evolution at smaller total strain steps. Material and hardening parameters are additional inputs into the networks to further inform the network and to study the network’s ability to predict different materials other than those used for training.

In-situ hydrogen microstructural characterization of Si heterojunction passivation: Addressing V OC degradation and mitigation pathways

Si heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells have demonstrated record efficiency >27%, approaching the theoretical limit of ≈ 29%, primarily due to best surface/interface defect passivation provided by deposited thin layers of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). Such excellent surface/interface passivation reduces recombination loss and result in >100 mV improvement of cell open circuit voltage (V OC ) to ≈ 750 mV, thus the cell efficiency. However, fielded SHJ modules exhibit loss of V OC and hence efficiency over time in years, presumably due to degradation related to a-Si:H layers. This adversely affects the technology’s market acceptance, and levelized cost of energy (LCOE). It is hypothesized that the origin of a-Si:H degradation is somehow related to the presence of weak Si–Si bonds and hydrogen in a-Si:H films. The objective of this project is to test this hypothesis by directly measuring chemical and structural changes occurring within SHJ component layers and solar cells. This is achieved by developing an innovative in-situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry apparatus to monitor hydrogen microstructural changes occurring within amorphous silicon and decipher hydrogen evolution kinetics over time when samples are exposed to heat and/or light stress. These in-situ measured hydrogen microstructural changes are correlated to the changes in effective minority carrier lifetime (τ eff ), implied V OC (iV OC ), surface recombination velocity (S), and cell V OC . These mechanistic understandings will provide critical guidance to mitigate the V OC -driven degradation of SHJ solar cell performance. Passivation optimization and degradation analysis of individual SHJ component structures were achieved through systematic deposition of three symmetric structures and the completed SHJ solar cell structure. The three symmetric structures used were intrinsic a-Si:H [(i)a-Si:H] layers in a bilayer structure, intrinsic and p-type doped stacked layers [(i-p)a-Si:H] representing the front heterojunction in the SHJ cell, and intrinsic and n-typed doped stacked layers [(i-n)a-Si:H] representing the back-side back surface field (BSF) in the SHJ cell. State-of-the-art passivation qualities are demonstrated by a champion iV OC of 740 mV for the (i)a-Si:H layers, and the (i-n)a-Si:H symmetric structure. A 725 mV iV OC is observed for the (i-p)a-Si:H symmetric structure. These symmetric passivated SHJ component structures were subsequently subjected to different accelerated lifetime (ALT) stressors to identify which conditions contribute the most to iV OC degradation. Degradation of the thin (10 nm) (i)a-Si:H passivation layers without any additional overlying layers is minimal; complexity of this study arises due to unavoidable surface oxidation of (i)a-Si:H layer during most of the stress application, which is likely irrelevant for a full SHJ cell configuration with overlying protective layers. The iV OC degradation of symmetric structures is found to occur primarily at the (i-p)a-Si:H passivation stack under dark heat stress with associated hydrogen loss from the (p)a-Si:H layer. An activation energy for increase in S (defect creation) of 0.65 eV can be correlated to the activation energy of ≈ 0.4 eV for hydrogen loss from the (i-p)a-Si:H stack. This also suggests the presence of weakly bonded hydrogen in the (p)a-Si:H films, which effuses out of the film stack at such low activation energy. When light and heat stress are applied together, similar hydrogen loss from (i-p)a-Si:H stack is observed, however, does not appreciably degrade iV OC or increase S. This is an important result and departure from direct correlation between hydrogen loss and defect creation. This perhaps indicates additional defect chemistries or annealing that might be occurring in the presence of light requiring further detailed defect measurements. The full SHJ cell structure used for this project is depicted in Fig.1(d). SHJ cells with an initial V OC ≈ 700 mV were fabricated and subjected to similar ALT stress conditions. Cell V OC is found to degrade the most under dark heat stress and is confirmed by observed hydrogen migration out of the (i-p)a-Si:H stack. However, hydrogen cannot escape from the cell stack, it accumulates near the (p)a-Si:H/ITO contact interface, where ITO acts as a barrier preventing hydrogen loss. Furthermore, light-heat combined stress does not degrade V OC appreciably, confirming the occurrence of a defect annealing process.

Nonlinear oscillations of inviscid free drops

The present analysis of free liquid drops' inviscid oscillations proceeds through solution of Bernoulli's equation to obtain the free surface shape and of Laplace's equation for the velocity potential field. Results thus obtained encompass drop-shape sequences, pressure distributions, particle paths, and the temporal evolution of kinetic and surface energies; accuracy is verified by the near-constant drop volume and total energy, as well as the diminutiveness of mass and momentum fluxes across drop surfaces. Further insight into the nature of oscillations is provided by Fourier power spectrum analyses of mode interactions and frequency shifts.

Heating Features of Interesting Supra-Arcade Downflows

Supra-arcade downflows (SADs) have been observed above flare loops during the decay phase of flare. They appear as tadpole-like dark plasma voids traveling towards the Sun. In areas surrounding where they appear, temperatures are often high. We aim to investigate temperature and heating mechanism of SADs. We apply our analysis to the M1.7 flare that occurred on 2012 July 12 and was observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory. There are many obvious SADs above the arcade during this event in the AIA 131 Å channel. We calculate the differential emission measure and emission measure weighted temperature with AIA data in the region where SADs are concentrated. We find that the temperature in SADs region tends to be lower than the surrounding plasma. We also calculate velocities of SADs using the Fourier Local Correlation Tracking (FLCT, Fisher & Welsch, 2008) method to derive velocities in the supra-arcade region. Using corks to track the calculated velocities, we find our velocity results are consistent with the SAD motions in the AIA 131 Å intensity movie. We use the velocities to derive the adiabatic heating caused by the compression of plasma. Preliminary results indicate that there is adiabatic heating in front of the SADs.

Investigating the Feasibility and Stability for Modeling Broadband Acoustic Wave Scattering using a Time-Domain Boundary Integral Equation

Reducing aircraft noise is a major objective in the field of computational aeroacoustics. Acoustic liners are an effective tool for reducing aircraft noise and are characterized by a frequency-dependent impedance value. Converted into the time-domain using Fourier transforms, an impedance boundary condition can be used to simulate the acoustic wave scattering by geometric bodies treated with acoustic liners. A Broadband Impedance Model is discussed in which the liner impedance is specified along a wide range of frequencies. An impedance boundary condition is derived and coupled with a time-domain boundary integral equation to model acoustic scattering by a flat plate. It is assumed the flat plate has surfaces treated with acoustic liners. The stability of the numerical algorithm is assessed using eigenvalue analysis.

The use of airborne imaging spectrometer data to determine experimentally induced variation in coniferous canopy chemistry

It was experimentally determined whether induced differences in forest canopy chemical composition can be detected using data from the Airborne Imaging Spectrometer (AIS). Treatments were applied to an even-aged forest of Douglas fir trees. Work to date has stressed wet chemical analysis of foilage samples and correction of AIS data. Plot treatments were successful in providing a range of foliar N2 concentrations. Much time was spent investigating and correcting problems with the raw AIS data. Initial problems with groups of drop out lines in the AIS data were traced to the tape recorder and the tape drive. Custom adjustment of the tape drive led to recovery of most missing lines. Remaining individual drop out lines were replaced using average of adjacent lines. Application of a notch filter to the Fourier transform of the image in each band satisfactorily removed vertical striping. The aspect ratio was corrected by resampling the image in the line direction using nearest neighbor interpolation.

Analysis of At-Altitude LTE Power Spectra for C2 Communications for UAS Traffic Management

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management (UTM) project works to develop tools and technologies essential for safely enabling civilian low-altitude small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS, also known as drones) operations. This paper presents results of work completed in the paper [1] presented at the 2018 ICNS conference where proposed approaches were explored for evaluating and analyzing sUAS Command and Control (C2) links based on commercial cellular networks. This paper focuses on the UTM Project’s Technology Capability Level 3 (TCL-3) test results which address the communications portion identified within the same paper. A software defined radio (SDR) was flown as a sUAS payload to capture received signal spectrum in Long Term Evolution (LTE) frequency bands of interest. The purpose was to measure the RF environment at UTM altitudes to characterize the interference potential. The SDR payload was flown at various stationary altitudes where the LTE over-the-air complex (I/Q) samples were captured by the SDR and later post-processed. The SDR received inputs through an omnidirectional antenna. The complex samples captured were an aggregate of transmissions received from all line-of-sight (LOS) towers within the geographic area for the specific radio frequency bandwidth the SDR is programmed to capture. Using this approach, the complex samples captured do not distinguish between the various eNodeB's (Long Term Evolution (LTE) transmitting towers). The complex samples were post processed via a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) algorithm to view the captured spectrum along with the power levels across the captured LTE bandwidth. This SDR payload process of capturing complex samples was done at two different regions within the US: 1) NASA's Ames Research Center (ARC) in Moffett Field, CA, and 2) Griffiss Airfield in Rome, NY. The data capture at the ARC site was done at two physical locations within the Ames campus where many stationary altitude captures where done as high as 800 ft. above ground level (AGL). The data captured at the Griffiss Airport (also known as the NY Corridor Site) were acquired at one location with three specific stationary altitude levels – {Ground Level (GL), 300 ft., and 400 ft.}. The LTE spectrum power levels were captured for two LTE carriers, AT&T and Verizon, at both sites where their respective spectra and power levels were measured and compared at various altitudes. The overall results show that there is an increase in LTE spectrum power levels at higher altitudes for drones. A detailed analysis of this data and conclusions drawn from the results are presented in this paper.

Surface Immobilization of a Re(I) Tricarbonyl Phenanthroline Complex to Si(111) through Sonochemical Hydrosilylation

A sonochemical-based hydrosilylation method was employed to covalently attach a rhenium tricarbonyl phenanthroline complex to silicon(111). fac-Re(5-(p-Styrene)-phen)(CO) 3 Cl (5-(p-styrene)-phen = 5-(4-vinylphenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) was reacted with hydrogen-terminated silicon(111) in an ultrasonic bath to generate a hybrid photoelectrode. Subsequent reaction with 1-hexene enabled functionalization of remaining atop Si sites. Attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirms attachment of the organometallic complex to silicon without degradation of the organometallic core, supporting hydrosilylation as a strategy for installing coordination complexes that retain their molecular integrity. Detection of Re(I) and nitrogen by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) further support immobilization of fac-Re(5-(p-styrene)-phen)(CO) 3 Cl. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy under white light illumination indicate that fac-Re(5-(p-styrene)-phen)(CO) 3 Cl undergoes two electron reductions. Mott–Schottky analysis indicates that the flat band potential is 239 mV more positive for p-Si(111) co-functionalized with both fac-Re(5-(p-styrene)-phen)(CO) 3 Cl and 1-hexene than when functionalized with 1-hexene alone. XPS, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, and Mott–Schottky analysis show that functionalization with fac-Re(5-(p-styrene)-phen)(CO) 3 Cl and 1-hexene introduces a negative interfacial dipole, facilitating reductive photoelectrochemistry.

On the Assessment and Uncertainty of Atmospheric Trace Gas Burden Measurements with High Resolution Infrared Solar Occultation Spectra from Space by the ATMOS Experiment

The Atmospheric Trace Molecule Spectroscopy (ATMOS) instrument is a high resolution Fourier transform spectrometer that measures atmospheric composition from low Earth orbit with infrared solar occultation sounding in the limb geometry. Following an initial flight in 1985, ATMOS participated in the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS) 1, 2, and 3 Space Shuttle missions in 1992, 1993, and 1994 yielding a total of 440 occultation measurements over a nine year period. The suite of more than thirty atmospheric trace gases profiled includes CO2, O3, N2O, CH4, H2O, NO, NO2, HNO3, HCl, HF, ClONO2, CCl3F, CCl2F2, CHF2Cl, and N2O5. The analysis method has been revised throughout the mission years culminating in the 'version 2' data set. The spectroscopic error analysis is described in the context of supporting the precision estimates reported with the profiles; in addition, systematic uncertainties assessed from the quality of the spectroscopic database are described and tabulated for comparisons with other experiments.

A Modified Wall Matching Treatment to Account for Local Solid to Fluid Thermal Coupling

The wall-matching methodology of Wilcox is modified to include a solid-wall, thermal-conduction model. This coupled fluid-thermal-structure model is derived assuming that the wall thermal-structure behavior is locally one-dimensional and that structural deformations, due to thermally induced stresses, are not significant. The one-dimensional coupled fluid-thermal-structure model is derived such that the wall temperature is removed as an independent boundary condition variable. The one-dimensional coupled fluid-thermal-structure model is also derived for the general case of an arbitrary mixture of thermally prefect gases and a wall of arbitrary thickness and conductivity by using a compressible, streamwise-pressure-gradient-corrected, wall-matching function and Fourier's law of heat conduction. The resulting model was implemented in the VULCAN CFD code as a new boundary condition type. VULCAN was then used to simulate a two-dimensional Mach 6 wind tunnel facility nozzle flow to demonstrate/validate the one-dimensional coupled fluid-thermal-structure model. The nozzle internal-wall surface temperature and heat transfer distributions computed using the one-dimensional coupled fluid-thermal-structure model are compared to wall temperature and heat transfer distributions from an iterative multi-dimensional analysis obtained by coupling the VULCAN CFD code and the MSC/NASTRAN-thermal code. The one-dimensional coupled fluid-thermal-structure model analysis is shown to be very robust and in excellent agreement with the multi-dimensional iteratively coupled analysis. It is also shown that the one-dimensional analysis can be used as an initial guess for the multi-dimensional iteratively coupled analysis.
