International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Intergranular attack (IG) and exfoliation corrosion (EC) have a detrimental impact on the structural integrity of aircraft structures of all types. Understanding the mechanisms and methods for dealing with these processes and with corrosion in general has been and is critical to the safety of critical components of aircraft.

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cardiac surgery patients often present challenging airways and limited cardiopulmonary reserves, necessitating meticulous preoperative assessment by the anesthesia team. This observational study aimed to determine the incidence of difficult airways in cardiac surgery patients and identify predictive factors. By addressing a

Shock and Vibration, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 545-554, 2012., 2012 Space inflatable technology is a promising solution to placing large metrology systems in space. Lighter weight, higher packaging efficiency, and easier maintenance are among a few of their advantages over mechanically deployed structures. On the other hand, their large volume after deployment makes them susceptible to disturbances in space. Therefore,

Characterization and Reporting Protocols for Structural Power Composites: A Perspective
Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 42, November 11, 2025.Here, the issues for testing and reporting on structural power composites are described: multifunctional materials that can carry loads while providing electrical energy. As well as proposing best practice, the development of a “universal coupon” is recommended for studying these materials and any interactions that occur between the two functions ...

Shock and Vibration, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 81-100, 2012., 2012 Motivated by deployable satellite technology, this article presents a homogenization model of an inflatable, rigidized lattice structure with distributed macro‐fiber composite (MFC) actuation. The model is based upon a general expression for the strain and kinetic energy of a fundamental repeated element of the structure.

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.The axial deployment force is an indispensable parameter of a lanyard‐deployed coilable mast, which reflects its load capacity in practical applications. However, research on the axial deployment force in the literature is very limited, and there are no mature numerical methods to determine this parameter in the design stage of coilable masts.

Shock and Vibration, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 133-149, 2007., 2007 This paper reports observations and analysis of picometer scale spontaneous vibrations in a precision deployable boom under thermal loading. The structural test article is a deployable boom previously flown in space. It exhibited spontaneous vibrations during the temperature rise following a night to day transition on orbit.

Shape Adjustment of a Large Planar Phased Array Antenna With Nonlinear Cable Actuators
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Shape adjustment of large planar phased array antennas is significant because the shape distortion of phased arrays can greatly reduce the antenna’s gain in the observing direction. This study selects the inherent diagonal cables driven by motors as actuators, initially used to improve the stiffness of the antenna structure. The shape adjustment can be
