Using Additive Processing to Harness and Implement Graphene Technology for Wear and Corrosion Protection
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2022); NPS-MAE-22-003
Graphene emerged as new wonder material in 2004 when it was isolated and resulted in the awarding of a Nobel Prize. In the nearly two decades since its discovery research has advanced graphene technology to the point of ...
Ultrahigh Temperature Materials for Hypersonic Systems Readiness
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2022); NPS-MAE-22-001
The proposed study aims to support the Hypersonics RDT&E efforts at the Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) by developing and validating materials that have potential to withstand the high temperatures encountered by systems ...
Bipartite Graph Learning for Autonomous Task-to-Sensor Optimization
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2022); NPS-MAE-22-002
This study addresses the question of how machine learning/artificial intelligence can be applied to identify the most appropriate 'sensor' for a task, to prioritize tasks, and to identify gaps/unmet requirements. The concept ...
Clandestine Mine Countermeasures Optimization for Autonomy and Risk Assessment
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2022); NPS-MAE-22-004
The PRC and Russia are the greatest miners in the world and are prepared to employ mines to tilt the Great Power Competition (GPC) in their favor. Mines are inexpensive, easily deployed, and put Distributed Maritime ...
Failure of Notched Specimens Made of 3D Printed Materials
(2022-08); NPS-SP-22-002
As an important subcategory of additive manufacturing, fused filament fabricated components have become the focus of scientific attention in recent years. Increasing use in industry as well as in the private sector makes ...
Prototyping and Testing a Miniaturized Floating Spacecraft Simulator
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-08); NPS-SP-22-009
Floating spacecraft simulators are robotic vehicles which imitate satellite movement in space. The use of floating spacecraft simulators permits experimental
validation of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) algorithms ...
Designing and testing a 3D-printed specimen for combined loading
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-07); NPS-SP-22-003
Failure prediction is of essential importance for everything built in today’s world. Components are fabricated lighter and more specific in shape in order to fulfil their
purpose. For reasons both of safety and stability, ...
