Phase I

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: 00/00/00    Completed: 00/00/00
Phase I year
1984
Phase I Amount
$49,941
This project concerns the development of a small, reliable and universally acceptable surface shear stress (or skin friction) sensor for aerodynamic boundary layer research at subsonic to supersonic speed. For this effort the surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay-line technique (Phase I) and resonator technique (Phase II) will be explored. Deposition of interdigital transducers and bench testing (Phase I) and design of proper enclosure for the SAW element and wind tunnel testing (Phase II) are planned.

Phase II

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: 00/00/00    Completed: 00/00/00
Phase II year
1985
Phase II Amount
$220,550
