The purpose of FRACTALS is to support the community of innovative ICT SMEs and Web Entrepreneurs to harvest the benefits of Future Internet Public Private Partnership initiative, by developing applications with high market potential, addressing the needs of the agricultural sector. This support is going to be multi-dimensional in the sense that it aims to span beyond grant assistance to also include: (1) the technical capacity building of ICT SMEs and Web entrepreneurs with respect to developing applications based on FI-PPP infrastructures (2) the testing and validation of applications in an open innovation context (by involving end-users in the testing/validation assignment through a Living Labs environment) and (3) clustering and mentoring services related to entrepreneurship and venture capital finance. FRACTALS Call will be open to all European SMEs and web entrepreneurs but will additionally focus on areas which are considered as “white spots” with respect to FI-PPP Phase 1 and 2 (Balkans, South East Europe). The Open Call will employ an innovative evaluation method that eliminates personal bias of evaluators, ensuring transparency, equal treatment of all applicants and short time-to-project, tailor-made to the needs of ICT SMEs. FRACTALS is a community-driven project, bringing together 4 ICT SME Associations and linking them with industrial and research partners with leading roles in previous FI-PPP projects. Thus, both participation of SMEs in the Open Call and know-how regarding existing FI-PPP infrastructure (GEs and SEs) are ensured. Last but not least, FRACTALS is coordinated by a funding agency with vast experience in managing Open Calls and monitoring co-funded projects.

In modern aero-engine combustors combustor tiles are used to protect the walls from the hot gases, the temperature of which is rising in new engines due to increasing pressure ratios. However, the amount of air used for wall cooling should be reduced to allow for maximal air flow rates through the fuel injector. This measure enables optimised lean combustion with lowest pollutant emission rates. This objective can be achieved by combining effusion cooling on the hot side with impingement cooling on the cold side of the tiles. This complex system needs to be simulated during design processes. This project aims for improving the predictive capabilities and decreasing the uncertainties of current models regarding wall temperatures and thermal stresses. The model development will be supported and the emerging method will be validated by high-quality experimental data obtained from measurements on an engine-representative gas turbine combustor using Particle Image Velocimetry, Thermographic Phosphor Thermometry and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy. An iterative method is proposed which couples tabulated chemistry based CFD and finite element method (FEM) simulations. In the CFD calculations previously ignored flame-wall interactions will be considered by adjusting turbulence models and extending the tabulation method to non-adiabatic conditions. Results of highly resolved large eddy simulations will be used to improve the computationally efficient RANS based techniques. The CFD calculations will provide the convective heat transfer for the FEM simulations as a boundary condition. For an accurate prediction of the metal temperature – which is then fed back into the CFD part - and thermal stresses provided by the FEM, a probabilistic approach will be applied. A Monte Carlo method with a meta-model will be used to evaluate the thermal stochastic output improving the current state-of-the-art of thermal predictions.

Electrical Power Distribution Systems (EPDS) employed among others in Aeronautics are usually protected by active electronic driven switching components. In order to reduce response time and simplify protection driving, fuses are being considered as one of the prerequisite for the CleanSky HVDC network. The development of a new generation of hybrid and/or full static current limiter solutions, able to operate above 51000ft, is crucial for specificities of aircraft applications. From one side fuses technologies could be adapted to parts of the requirements but may not fully comply. On the other side, the material properties of Silicon Carbide as semiconductor, clearly superior to those of Si, should lead to enhanced hybrid current limiters with much better performance than conventional fuses or Si based solutions. Pooling a leading fuses and protection devices manufacturer, and two research groups, FUSES 2014 aims at a breakthrough in current protection technology to build either a hybrid and/or a full static current limiter solution with different benefits than existing solutions. Well stablished and new methodologies will be adapted to fuses and SiC technologies and optimized to make them a practical reality. The main targets are study, optimize two solutions and validate the optical module following DO160 standard adapted to high DC voltage networks to be integrated into aircraft EPDS: • A required specs Silver fuse and specific package. • A SiC current limiter using existing SiC FET technologies plus its optimal packaging configuration.

The primary innovative approach and the major aim of the investigations being covered here is in the first instance to perform reliable and high quality procedures for laminar wing testing under and near flight conditions at high Reynolds numbers in ETW. Beside confirming a number of already mature and successfully applied measuring techniques, these investigations will allow to validate a new evaluation process by quantitatively determining areas of turbulent flow on the wing, e.g. generated by turbulent wedges inside the laminar flow region.. Calculating the difference in drag due to laminar and turbulent flow by post-processing forms a tool for correcting the overall drag as measured by the balance. A second subject of interest is the surface quality of the model to be tested. Special attention will be given to the cleanliness of the model on preparation and the eventual contamination while testing. The experiments will improve the understanding of the flow and the performance of airplanes and are an indispensable tool for airframe manufacturers. At the end the project will help to safe resources like fuel, to reduce the pollution of environment by exhaust gases and noise and finally to increase the safety of flights.

We propose to accompany the SFWA-BLADE flight test phase with adequate wing surface metrology, to measure profile, waviness, steps, gaps, 3D disturbances, and surface roughness. The envisaged metrology system already exists and its performance to the specifications stipulated in the call has been demonstrated on relevant reference artefacts. So far, we have successfully used it for on-site BLADE wing tooling measurements, demonstrating portability besides the uncertainty required. The measurement system is a fringe-projection system, custom built for the specific requirements of wing metrology. It can e.g. easily detect waviness of 0.1 mm and its noise limit is about 10 micrometres. The nominal field of view is 1280x800 mm², making it perfectly suited for measurements in inter-rib spaces of the BLADE wings. It can be adjusted to any orientation desired, and its position can be registered with laser tracker assistance. This makes it possible to locate unconnected surface segments correctly in 3-D space, thus eliminating the need for large overlaps between surface sub-areas. However we have also shown that very good results are achievable without laser tracker assistance by "stitching" of sub-areas together into one combined data set for the entire wing tip surface of 9x2 m². The applicants have decades of experience in full-field non-contact optical metrology, including three years of collaboration within the current BLADE consortium under call JTI-CS-2010-05-SFWA-03-004. The business infrastructure for a successful effort is already in place, as are evaluation methods which will be further refined during the current call and will have reached a high degree of maturity by the scheduled start time of the flight test metrology campaign.

The objective of JIF2LAND proposal it to conduct the evelopment, design, manufacture and installation of jig platforms, staging and operational tooling for removing the BLADE wing (Natural Laminar Flow) sections of an A340-300, after the flight test and to assembly the original wings tips of the aircraft. The SFWA flight test demonstrator aims to validate that a specific wing profile can sustain laminar flow with an acceptable stability versus in flight deformation and contamination. After the flight test the original wings will need to be restored and challenging tooling design and manufacturing are expected, beside the challenges an added one will be to be very cost-effective for a tooling to be one time used. Temperature compensation, twist compensation, tolerance achievements are some of the key points to be addressed on this development.

The incoming phase will be used for orientation about the experience gained in how to prevent type 2 Diabetes (T2D) by using life style changes (reduced weight gain, increased physical activity, less dietary fat, increased fibre intake) and also through genetic prediction. A long intervention program will be designed to start the implementation in Egypt during the re-integration phase with coordination with the implementing institutions. The curriculum of training the staff on different methodology from different specialities and Health Education material for Diabetic patients to change their life style will be prepared. Genetic prediction will be considered to identify individuals at risk of developing T2D. Some risk factors (elevated plasma glucose conc. in the fasting state and after an oral glucose load, overweight, and a sedentary lifestyle) are potentially reversible. Modifying these factors with a lifestyle-intervention program would prevent diabetes. In this program, middle-aged, overweight subjects are randomly assigned with impaired glucose tolerance to either the intervention group or the control group. Each subject in the intervention group receive individualized counselling aimed at reducing weight, total intake of fat, and intake of saturated fat and increasing intake of fibre and physical activity. The average age will be 50 years, and the mean body-mass index will be measured. An oral glucose-tolerance test will be performed annually; the diagnosis of diabetes is confirmed by a second test. The mean duration of follow-up is 2-3 years. The outcome of the incoming phase will be a Plan to implement Diabetes Prevention Program in Egypt with simplified curriculum and health education materials. In the re-integration period, there will be a start of implementation with workshop and training courses for the staff contributing in the project. A pilot study will be done during the 6 month which will include life style changes and genetic polymorphism study.

The aim of the proposed project is to continue the research on a general nanomechanics of defects framework for the understanding and prediction of structure-properties relationships of nanoscale materials. This framework has to be suitable for metal nanoparticles and nanorods, nanolayered films and core/shell nanowires, ultrafine grained bulk nanostructures, as well as carbon nanotubes and protein membrane nanotubes. While standard continuum mechanics and dislocation theory have been useful tools for addressing scientific and technological problems at macro and meso scales, their direct use is not suitable for nanoscale problems. Molecular dynamics simulations and their variants is a commonly used approach but also prohibitively expensive for realistic applications due to current computational limitations. The proposed project serves as a compromising alternative by developing a new methodology for understanding the evolution and stability of structural defects at nanosized volumes and advancing new continuum nanoelasticity and nanoplasticity models for capturing the deformation and fracture behavior of nanosized objects, devices and components. The results will be applicable to a variety of nanoscience and nanotechnology areas, including micro/nano opto-electronics, micro/nano electromechanical systems, bulk nanostructured metal processing and forming. For the last objects, i.e. bulk nanostructured materials, experimental studies of their fracture and plastic behavior will be conducted to support the developed theory.
