AIAA Materials Start-Up Panel
Start-up companies play a unique “enabler” role to vet novel research ideas and results in commercial applications and markets, but are a currently untapped resource for the AIAA community. Hear from representatives of materials start-up companies who will present their products, operations, and vision for future directions to enlighten and encourage the audience about potential future collaboration.
Girls Take Flight Drone Program
Students, several of whom are FAA-Certified Drone Pilots, from the Elementary Institute of Science’s program, Girls Take Flight, will present and talk about the program and their experiences. The students will do a drone flight demonstration and share what they’ve accomplished in the program, including a montage of their final project videos that showcases plenty different ways to use drones.
Design Challenge: Marshmallow Lander
Contestants will design a shock absorbing method to protect their rover and other hardware from the impact of landing. Come join the fun as a contestant or a spectator!
2020 AVIATION Forum: We get you Here, There and Now Everywhere
Hear about current activities, planning, and programming for the upcoming AVIATION Forum in Reno, NV. Offer your feedback and ideas.
Calculating Shape From OFDR-Based Distributed Strain Measurements
This presentation describes how engineers are utilizing Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) based fiber optic strain measurements to derive distributed shape. OFDR offers the ability to acquire strain measurements continuously along the length of an optical fiber. Coupled with fiber’s flexible routing options, this allows one to capture various components of strain continuously or quasi-continuously along the length of the substrate to which the fiber is bonded. Through any number of mechanics models or computational techniques, this information may then be used to determine distributed displacements and deflections along the length of structural components. This has been particularly useful in the aerospace industry for monitoring wing deflection in real-time during flight.
