"ACS will develop an integrated numerical and test approach for composite wing leading edge hailstone impact application with electrical ice protection system. We propose finite element free fast impact models satisfying the governing equations of impact mechanics coupled with cross-correlations of data from a series of tests organized in a building block approach. First we will develop a fast ph ...

Safe operation of structures requires rapid and early detection of structural degradation. A potential approach is to monitor structural degradation in real-time, including damage/facture due to unforeseen circumstances, by deploying sensors and efficient/effective wireless mesh networks throughout the structure. This proposal addresses the development of suitable combinations of sensors to monit ...
