MFD Precision Engineering Program Combined Bibliography 1970 1989

The Combined Bibliography assembles in one document the 1970-1989 reports, conference proceedings, and publications authored by members of the Engineering Directorate - Materials Fabrication Division and the Precision Engineering Program. It was prepared from data recovered from the LLNL Library's and report database and from DOE's Energy Database using Pro-Cite.

FY05 Engineering Research and Technology Report

2006

T his report summarizes the core research, development, and technology accomplishments in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Engineering Directorate for FY2006. These efforts exemplify Engineering's more than 50-year history of developing and applying the technologies needed to support the Laboratory's national security missions. A partner in every major program and project at the Laboratory throughout its existence, Engineering has prepared for this role with a skilled workforce and technical resources developed through both internal and external venues. These accomplishments embody Engineering's mission: "Enable program success today and ensure the Laboratory's vitality tomorrow." Engineering's investment in technologies is carried out primarily through two internal programs: the Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program and the technology base, or "Tech Base," program. LDRD is the vehicle for creating technologies and competencies that are cutting-edge, or require discovery-class research to be fully understood. Tech Base is used to prepare those technologies to be more broadly applicable to a variety of Laboratory needs. The term commonly used for Tech Base projects is "reduction to practice." Thus, LDRD reports have a strong research emphasis, while Tech Base reports document discipline-oriented, core competency activities. This report combines the LDRD and Tech Base summaries into one volume, organized into six thematic technical areas: Engineering Modeling and Simulation; Measurement Technologies; Micro/ Nano-Devices and Structures; Precision Engineering; Engineering Systems for Knowledge and Inference; and Energy Manipulation. Engineering Modeling and Simulation efforts focus on the research, development, and deployment of computational technologies that provide the foundational capabilities to address most facets of Engineering's mission. Current activities range from fundamental advances to enable accurate modeling of full-scale DOE and DoD systems performing at their limits, to advances for treating photonic and microfl uidic systems. FY2006 LDRD projects encompassed coupling standard fi nite element analysis methods with "meshless" methods to address systems at and beyond failure; integration of electromagnetic forces with structural mechanics solutions; and nonlinear materials treatments for photonic systems. Tech Base projects included enhancements, verifi cation, and validation of engineering simulation tools and capabilities; progress in visualization and data management tools; and extensions of our competence in structural damage analysis. Measurement Technologies comprise activities in nondestructive characterization, metrology, sensors systems, and ultrafast technologies for advanced diagnostics. The advances in this area are essential for the future experimental needs in Inertial Confi nement Fusion, High-Energy-Density Physics, Weapons and Department of Homeland Security programs. FY2006 LDRD research featured transient recording extensions for streak cameras; investigations into terahertz systems for explosives detection; acoustic characterization of mesoscale objects; and research on the structure and properties of nanoporous materials. Tech Base projects included new capabilities for the fabrication of photonic integrated circuits; the implementation of a new transient sampling data recorder; ultra-wideband technology testbeds; computed tomography (CT) reconstruction tools; and tools to aid identifi cation of defects in large CT data sets. Energy Manipulation, a long time focus that is receiving increased emphasis due to newly emerging applications, encompasses the fundamental understanding and technology deployment for many modern pulsedpower applications. This area has broad applications for magnetic fl ux compression generators and components for modern accelerators. FY2006 LDRD research included research into the fundamental mechanisms responsible for fl ashover of insulators subject to microsecond pulses. Tech Base efforts involved capabilities to improve the switching performance of power MOSFETs, and solid-state replacements for ignitrons. 9 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Engineering Modeling and Simulation mortar contact (10-node tets, 20-and 27-node bricks) bringing it closer to production status (Fig. 2).
