Expanding the Role of Chess in K-12 Education via the Creation of an Internet Scholastic Chess League

Not Available Herein, a Phase I program is proposed to design, build, and evaluate actuator for a high field, high strain, dynamic environment to ultimately support a buffet load alleviation system. These actuator improvements include high field and dynamic field testing of Active Control experts (ACX), Inc. current interdigitated design, as well as the inclusion of fine grain piezoceramic elements, produced by TRS Ceramics. ACX will incorporate these fine grain materials produced by TRS Ceramics, and evaluate them in both standard and interdigitated QuickPackID devices. ACX will do extensive characterization testing and evaluation of these enhanced actuators. These tests will determine reliability and performance of these actuators through the environmental conditions of aircraft buffet and vibration control. Two different actuator systems will be designed and tested to demonstrate enhanced performance induced strain actuation. An additional option is proposed to design full scale actuators based on the favored design for use in a full scale Ground Vibration Test.
