NASA Partners with Rolls-Royce on Braze Joint Technology Testing
2014-05-20 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Rolls-Royce will collaborate with NASA to develop braze joint performance prediction methods for critical structures subject to complex loading conditions. Via this partnership, Rolls-Royce will establish braze Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) for use in defining acceptable stress combinations and margins of safety of braze joints and braze repair structures. NASA will receive verification of its FAD methodology for failure prediction of structural brazed joints on real industrial ...This story is related to the following:Trade Associations

West Antarctic Ice Sheet unstoppable loss not unexpected by NASA Scientists
2014-05-14 03:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Clarksville: The new finding that the eventual loss of a major section of West Antarctica`s ice sheet "appears unstoppable" was not completely unexpected by scientists who study this area. The study, led by glaciologist Eric Rignot at NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, and the University of California, Irvine, follows decades of research and theory suggesting the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is inherently vulnerable to change. Although the Amundsen Sea region is only a fraction of the whole...
