Model Checking UML Designs

The key innovation of this proposal is combining an MR fluid damper with a stiction based shock absorber to provide adaptive damping and shock absorption as a means to upgrade the current side lateral engine mount which provides no vibration isolation.Our concept is focused on minimizing the certification process for use on E-2C and C-2A aircraft, and therefore minimizing the time and cost to being installation on actual Navy aircraft. The proposal also describes the control algorithms which will allowthe system to be totally autonomous. We have organized the proposed project so that by the end of Phase 1 we will be able to test the key aspects of the system and assess the benefits with respect to adaptive damping based on MR fluid. By the end ofPhase 2 we will have a fully integrated adjustable damping and shock absorbing side lateral engine mount which would be ready to begin the certification process.Our first commercialization focus will be to achieve a system which the Navy will use on E2-Cand C-2A aircraft. Later commercialization will focus on other aircraft adaptive isolation mounts, and then on applications beyond aircraft.
