First Invitational Conducting FlexSkin Workshop |
|
Participants: By invitation only.
Dates: January 22-23, 2007
Location: NASA Langley Research Center and NIA Headquarters, Hampton, Virginia
Objective:
The objective of this workshop is to investigate and ascertain whether there exist structural/material systems that incorporate highly conductive surfaces which are sufficiently mature for NASA/DOD applications. In addition, the workshop intends to identify promising concepts, which may not yet be ready for applications, but are a suitable for research and development push to be considered for NASA/DOD applications:
- Morphing Aircraft
- Reconfigurable Antenna
- Flexible Electronics
- Electromagnetic (EMI) Shielding
Workshop Focus:
This workshop will focus on research for conducting flexible skin systems that have the potential to be developed to withstand aircraft and space-like environments and multiple cycles of stretching and contracting.
Typical NASA/DOD requirements for conductive skins can have as a goal a two-dimensional 150% stretch capability and must have the potential for integrating into load-bearing structures with an end-to-end surface resistance from all edges not to exceed one ohm per square inch in any direction.
