Stress-only imaging with HT-LSAC using the Astonish acquisition/processing method provides results equivalent to conventional rest/stress scanning. This new approach has the potential to significantly improve operational efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.
The development and validation of tiltrotor technology by the U.S. Government and industry in the past two decades has placed the U.S. in an international leadership position in tiltrotor aircraft. The current military V-22
Tests have been conducted on a JT15D-1 turbofan engine both statically and at simulated forward speed in the Ames 12 x 24 m Wind Tunnel. Both far-field acoustic data and unsteady pressure data from transducers mounted on the fan blades were acquired. Results showed a sound power reduction of about 10 dB in the farfield acoustic levels with simulated forward speed over that measured without forward speed. Blade-mounted transducer results showed rotor-turbulence interaction dominated the noise field at very low speeds while an interaction between the rotor and internal struts dominated at higher speeds. Results are presented to show the effects of varying engine revolutions per minute, changing the angle of attack of the engine inlet to tunnel flow, and mounting an aircraft wing to simulate an installation condition on a actual aircraft.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
