A Biologically Inspired Architecture Screening Tool to Improve Electric Grid Transient Response Design

  • PI Bryan Watson

  • The objective of this research is to develop and validate a new approach to design-for-transient resilience that provides additional insights, is less expensive, and can be used early in the design process.

A Boltzmann Simulator for Porous Media Flows

  • PI Leitao Chen

  • ​This project develops numerical simulations through parallel development of a Boltzmann model to capture and elucidate multiscale thermos-fluids behaviors in porous media, as well as the fluid-solid interactions.
A Machine Learning Based Transfer to Predict Warhead In-Flight Behavior from Static Arena Test Data

  • PI Riccardo Bevilacqua

  • The objective of this work is to combine high-fidelity numerical models with unique/ad-hoc experimental activities to strengthen basic science underpinning the test and evaluation framework for warhead fragmentation and fragments fly-out.
Aeroelastic Gust-Airfoil Interaction Numerical Studies

  • PI Vladimir Golubev

  • The project conducted in collaboration with WPAFB and Eglin AFB AFRL scientists over the past 8 years employs DOD HPC and ERAU computer facilities to conduct high-fidelity, low-Reynolds, aeroelastic gust-airfoil interaction studies to model unsteady responses and their control for small UAVs operating, e.g., in highly unsteady urban canyons.
ASSURE A55

  • PI Richard Stansbury

    PI Christopher Herbster

  • The aviation industry uses flight data recorders (FDR) and cockpit voice recorders (CVR) to investigate accidents and incidents. FDRs record sensor data to provide information about an aircraft’s technical status, while CVRs record sounds from the cockpit to draw conclusions through crew communications and environmental sounds.

Behavior of superalloys subjected to fatigue loads under high temperature

  • PI Alberto Mello

    CO-I Paulina De La Torre Morales

    CO-I Open Position - New students are welcome

  • This study is evaluating what initial conditions can activate cubic slip planes, then the level of accommodation and strain homogenization within the grain, and how a given initial condition affects the material behavior when subjected to operational cyclic loads under high temperature.
Bird Strike - The Effect of the Leading Edge Radius on the Behavior of the Bird Upon Impact

  • PI Alberto Mello

    CO-I Kiran Kumar Avula

    CO-I James Pembridge

  • This project is in partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation under MMSE program.

    Birds pose a major threat to aviation. Bird impact can lead to significant damage of the aircraft and can be sometimes catastrophic. For a damage tolerant design of an aircraft structure, the structure has to fulfill the airworthiness specifications prescribed by FAA or EASA.

CAREER: Additively Manufactured 3D Reconfigurable Antennas

  • PI Eduardo Rojas

  • ​The focus of this CARRER development project is on an emerging antenna fabrication technique that combines additive manufacturing (AM) and pulsed laser machining that has the potentials to fundamentally alter the existing state of the art. 
Composite Wind Turbine Blade

  • PI Sathya Gangadharan

  • The world's primary energy needs are projected to grow by 56% between 2005 and 2030, by an average annual rate of 1.8% per year (International Energy Agency, 2012). Energy policy has confirmed the improvement of the environment sustainability of energy as a primary objective also though increasing use of renewable sources (Increasing Wind Energy's contribution to U.S. Electricity supply, 2008).
Creating Connections: Bed bugs to UAV Swarms

  • PI Bryan Watson

  • ​The overarching goal of our research is to advance our understanding of bed bug behavior and use this understanding to improve performance of aerospace swarms.
CubeSats Hosting Flexible Appendages for On-Orbit Testing of Advanced Control Algorithms

  • PI Riccardo Bevilacqua

  • ​The objective of this work is to start the assembly of a CubeSat hosting specialized flexible appendages, taking inspiration from a previously designed spacecraft developed by the Advanced Autonomous Multiple Spacecraft (ADAMUS).
CyberCorps Scholarship for Service: High-skilled Workforce Development for the Aviation and Aerospace Cybersecurity Domains

  • PI Omar Ochoa

    CO-I Keith Garfield

    CO-I Laxima Niure Kandel

    CO-I Krishna Sampigethaya

  • This project promotes workforce development in this vital sector by building on undergraduate and graduate cybersecurity programs at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), where both ERAU campuses (Daytona Beach, FL and Prescott, AZ) have a history of collaborative education and research activities within the aviation and aerospace cybersecurity domain.
