How good are large language models at product risk assessment?

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 766-789, April 2025.
Abstract Product safety professionals must assess the risks to consumers associated with the foreseeable uses and misuses of products. In this study, we investigate the utility of generative artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, across a number of tasks involved in the product risk assessment process ...

Functionally Graded Oxide Scale on (Hf,Zr,Ti)B2 Coating with Exceptional Ablation Resistance Induced by Unique Ti Dissolving

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 10, March 13, 2025.
A functionally graded oxide scale comprising a dense top layer and an underlying fine‐grained layer with a grain size gradient forms on a multicomponent (Hf,Zr,Ti)B2 coating through Ti content optimization. The former is a superior oxygen barrier, and the latter ensures strain tolerance, collectively manifesting the coating's exceptional ablation ...

Throttleable Solid Propellants Through Embedded Shape Memory Alloy and Resistance Wires

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 50, Issue 3, March 2025.
Throttling behavior of expanding propellants ABSTRACT Solid propellants are used in propulsion systems for their high performance, feasibility to manufacture, long shelf life, and ease of storage and handling; however, they are limited by the inability to actively control the burning rate.

Calculating Nozzle Side Loads using Acceleration Measurements of Test-Based Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
As part of a NASA/MSFC research program to evaluate the effect of different nozzle contours on the well-known but poorly characterized "side load" phenomena, we attempt to back out the net force on a sub-scale nozzle during cold-flow testing using ...

Mechanical properties of MoW–HfN surrogate cermet fuel for nuclear thermal propulsion

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 22, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract The mechanical performance of MoW‐HfN, a surrogate cermet for MoW‐UN Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) fuel, was characterized from room temperature to 1600°C. The modulus of elasticity and flexure strength were obtained from four‐point bend tests.
