Superplastic forming of Al-Li alloys for lightweight, low-cost structures

Superplastic forming of advanced aluminum alloys is being evaluated as an approach for fabricating low-cost, light-weight, cryogenic propellant tanks. Built-up structure concepts (with inherent reduced scrap rate) are under investigation to offset the additional raw material expenses incurred by using aluminum lithium alloys. This approach to fabrication offers the potential for significant improvements in both structural efficiency and overall manufacturing costs. Superplasticity is the ability of specially processed material to sustain very large forming strains without failure at elevated temperatures under controlled deformation conditions. It was demonstrated that superplastic forming technology can be used to fabricate complex structural components in a single operation and increase structural efficiency by as much as 60 percent compared to conventional configurations in skin-stiffened structures. Details involved in the application of this technology to commercial grade superplastic aluminum lithium material are presented. Included are identification of optimum forming parameters, development of forming procedures, and assessment of final part quality in terms of cavitation volume and thickness variation

Simulation at Dryden Flight Research Facility from 1957 to 1982

The Dryden Flight Research Facility has been a leader in developing simulation as an integral part of flight test research. The history of that effort is reviewed, starting in 1957 and continuing to the present time. The contributions of the major program activities conducted at Dryden during this 25-year period to the development of a simulation philosophy and capability is explained

RISK AND MARKET PARTICIPANT BEHAVIOR IN THE U.S. SLAUGHTER-CATTLE MARKET

Incomplete information generates uncertainty for market participants in the slaughter-cattle market. Buyer and seller behavior in the presence of that uncertainty is examined. Statistically significant risk premiums are charged by packers when buying slaughter cattle on either a live- or dressed-weight basis compared to buying on a grade-and-yield basis. Pratt-Arrow risk-aversion coefficients are calculated for buyers and these remain constant over all marketing methods. Sellers market cattle under all three marketing methods, suggesting producersÂ’' attitudes toward risk (risk-aversion coefficients) vary.Risk and Uncertainty,

Feeding Programs for Newly Arrived or Recently Weaned Calves

Fall is a stressful time for calves. They are generally weaned at this time. Following weaning, they are often transported or moved to a sale barn or unfamiliar facility. Upon arrival, they may be mixed with other cattle, subjected to processing and forced to eat unfamiliar feeds. In addition, all of these stresses may be compounded by foul weather. To combat the negative impacts of stress cattlemen should strive to get new calves on feed as rapidly as possible. Proper nutrition and a consistent health program are essential when starting calves on feed. Proper nutrition is important from two standpoints. First, the success of any health program is highly dependant on the nutritionals status of the calf. In order for the immune system of the calf to form antibodies in response to vaccination programs, sufficient protein, energy vitamins and minerals must be available. The second reason is more obvious. The calf simply needs to consume feed in order to grow and thrive. Ownership and facility costs are generally high. Feeder cattle need to gain weight in order to make money for cattlemen. Newly arrived or recently weaned calves do not readily eat upon arrival in a feedlot. Texas data (Hutcheson, 1980) suggests that a surprisingly high percentage of cattle do not eat during the first few days in the feedlot. Table 1 shows that on day one in the feedlot, only 21.7% of the cattle eat. On day three, over 40% of the cattle will not eat. On seven, 30% of the cattle will not eat. And on day 10, an average of 15% of the cattle will not eat. These data suggest that getting cattle started on feed is a major problem. Three problems need to be addressed in order to get cattle started on feed. First, recently weaned or newly arrived cattle will generally not recognize the feed bunk and may not recognize water troughs. Second, new cattle may not recognize the feed that the producer wishes to feed him. Finally, feed intake by new cattle will likely be low due to stress. The remaining section of this paper focus on managing around these problems. Additional sections include discussions of feed additives, commercial receiving, or weaning rations and health programs

LDEF data: Comparisons with existing models

The relationship between the observed cratering impact damage on the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) versus the existing models for both the natural environment of micrometeoroids and the man-made debris was investigated. Experimental data was provided by several LDEF Principal Investigators, Meteoroid and Debris Special Investigation Group (M&D SIG) members, and by the Kennedy Space Center Analysis Team (KSC A-Team) members. These data were collected from various aluminum materials around the LDEF satellite. A PC (personal computer) computer program, SPENV, was written which incorporates the existing models of the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment. This program calculates the expected number of impacts per unit area as functions of altitude, orbital inclination, time in orbit, and direction of the spacecraft surface relative to the velocity vector, for both micrometeoroids and man-made debris. Since both particle models are couched in terms of impact fluxes versus impactor particle size, and much of the LDEF data is in the form of crater production rates, scaling laws have been used to relate the two. Also many hydrodynamic impact computer simulations were conducted, using CTH, of various impact events, that identified certain modes of response, including simple metallic target cratering, perforations and delamination effects of coatings
