At the core of my proposed research lies the desire to understand turn-of-the-century European fascination with the idea of race and the employment of modern sciences in the construction of racial theories in national and imperial contexts of East-Central Europe. The project will explore the history of racial thinking and related biological, human and social sciences in the mostly uncharted region of East Central Europe, with special focus on the Hungarian Kingdom in the decades around 1900. Rooted in the ethnically and confessionally most mixed region of contemporary Europe, Hungarian sciences faced unique intellectual challenges in constructing racial theories and creating ethnic, national and imperial identities, thus contributing to the process of Hungarian nation-building while legitimating liberalism in general. To understand how race, ethnicity, the nation and the multi-ethnic kingdom were co-produced in the region, systematic research will explore a variety of scientific disciplines, including ethnography, sociology, physical anthropology, criminal and social statistics, biology, public health, eugenics, and crowd psychology. Based on the Applicant’s preliminary studies and research hypotheses, the disciplinary trajectories of Hungarian ‘sciences of race’ seem to diverge considerably from the models offered by the historiography in the British, French and German contexts. Rather exceptionally, in the Hungarian intellectual field, a marked and overall shift towards a biological, hierarchical, and racialist thinking did not seem to have taken place before the end of WWI. Due to the originality of the research and its interdisciplinary nature, the planned outcome, a monograph, will contribute not only to the historiography of European “racial sciences” and science studies, but also to nationalism and imperialism studies, the cultural and social studies of fin-de-siècle modernity in Central Europe, and the wider scholarship on the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Attention drives politics. At every level of government and in the public realm, the political process is shaped by which issues are discussed and which are ignored. Media attention has an especially strong influence. The amount and type of news coverage an issue receives directly affects the amount and type of public concern and government response paid to the issue. Yet media attention is not a fixed process; it varies widely across the political and social contexts of different countries. We (Amber Boydstun at UC Davis in the United States and Stefaan Walgrave at the University of Antwerp in Belgium) propose a systematic analysis of media attention in Belgium, France, Switzerland, and the United States. We are part of the Comparative Policy Agendas Project, an international network of scholars using a common coding scheme to collect data on the governmental and media agendas of more than a dozen countries (and counting). Boydstun was one of the first scholars to apply this common coding scheme to the news. She collected all front-page stories in the US New York Times, 1996–2006 (some 30,000 stories), classifying each story according to the primary policy or non-policy issue being discussed (e.g., abortion, immigration, war, sports, weather). Walgrave is at the forefront of the effort to extend this analysis to the EU, and under his guidance the Belgian, French, and Swiss teams have already completed large datasets of news stories from their home countries, classified using this same coding scheme. We will compare these apples-to-apples datasets of media attention, using statistical analysis to examine three questions: 1) How does media attention vary by country? 2) What factors (e.g., media market competition, political party setup) drive these cross-national differences in news coverage? 2) And finally, what effect do these differences in media attention have on the amount and type of public concern and government response each issue receives in each country?

In the course of the project compact sized, rugged network enabled sensor nodes for monitoring structural health using • Electro mechanical impedance method (EMI) • Broadband acousto ultrasonic method (AU-BB), will be designed (embedded hard- and software) and prototypes manufactured. A cost-efficient but still failure tolerant network interface will enable the sensor node to operate in a heterogeneous multi-sensor environment keeping wiring complexity and thus weight and cost low. The approach respects the high level of EMC that is required in aviation. A first processing of the sensor signal will take place on the node to significantly reduce network load and keeping necessary performance of a data collecting master node low. A dedicated software framework will enable the insertion of automatically generated code.

The concept of sensorised structures for the purpose of damage detection and recording changes of strain fields is of growing interest to reduce the maintenance activities as well as to improve the aircraft safety. The general objective of this proposal is to develop effective computational tools for the development and manufacturing of aircraft stiffened composite sensorised composite structures for impact damage detection as outlined in CfP JTI-CS-2009-1-GRA-01-005. Different SHM methods for Piezoceramics and Fiber Optic sensors will be developed. In this proposal, we will develop: • smart computational methodologies to accurately simulate the sensing/actuating of a smart panel; • methods based on Lamb waves and Electormechnaicam Impedance; • optimum sensor layout methodology (i.e. number and location of sensors), using smart FE, test data and optimisation;. • a neural network using test results and smart FE; • generation of response functions and metalmodels using the neural network and smart FE; • a multilevel analysis of stiffened composite panel; • robust methodologies for multiscale modelling of woven composites and multiscale/multilevel environment for modelling material degradation and damage; • validation through test data. The above innovative developments will form validated methodologies of high relevance to the Aeronautical industry.

Within the Clean Sky JTI, the use of a nanocomposite material for primary structures of a Green Regional Aircraft is going to be thoroughly studied and analysed. The nano-filler modified matrix have a great potential to exhibit high performance in terms of thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. The objective of AIT is to manufacture nanomodified resins to fulfil the requirements of the Clean Sky roadmap. In a first step, nanoparticles will be selected among nanoclays (both cationic and anionic clays), POSS, carbon nanofibres (Vapour Grown Carbon Fibres) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Then AIT will benefit of its experience in nanotechnology to set-up the dispersion methods, to produce batches of modified resin (8 different types are planed), to set up the curing parameter, to produce samples and finally, to characterize them. The proposed test campaign will investigate the chemical, physical, morphological, thermal and mechanical properties. The dissemination and exploitation of the result will be assure by the management Team in close communication and collaboration with the ITD leaders and other CS-RTD partners.

The aim of INDUCER is to provide the possibility to make high integrity adhesive repairs using a unique single multi-functional magnetic sensor for “Smart Curing” the bond and to monitor the structural integrity of the repair in service. INDUCER will produce a complete operational chain of equipment, software and sensors that will revolutionise the technology of composite repair bonding by combining heating, stress localization, stress compensation, structural health monitoring, lightning protection and earthing. In this project, the R&amp;D of the advanced new generation bonding equipment with multi-functional magnetic sensors for real time “smart curing”, relief of stresses and integrity monitoring of repaired structures will be performed. The participating partners have a range of complementary expertise, resources, and test facilities, which, when combined, meet the needs for the completion of a successful project. Bonded composite repaired areas of aircraft structures frequently suffer from a variety of factors that may influence their structural integrity, on either a short or long term basis. In order to overcome these drawbacks, an innovative “sensorized” composite repair set-up is proposed, combining three different technical achievements through the embedding of a magnetostrictive sensor mesh (i.e. metallic mesh composed of small diameter sensors measuring changes in magnetic property with stress according to magneto-elastic phenomena) in the repair area. The use of this magnetostrictive sensor mesh will simultaneously achieve the following effects: a. “Smart” curing of the repair by induction heating. This will replace conventional conduction heating, using resistance powered heating blankets. b. Health monitoring of the repair by interrogating the magnetostrictive sensors at regular maintenance intervals, to acquire data concerning changes in the strain field related to accumulated damage. c. Incorporation of “ancillary functions” such as lightning prot

To meet the ACARE 2020 objectives, new green innovative A/C configurations are to be investigated. Following preparation of preliminary layout configuration for each green aircraft, optimization will need to be performed so as to help reaching improvements in the design solution, but also assess key factors and trades and point out innovative design options. In this framework, the conjunction of mature high-fidelity CFD analysis, HPC facilities, and the most advanced optimization algorithms is mandatory so as to maintain the computational effort within feasible limits. In this respect, the present proposal answers topic JTI-CS-2009-1-GRA-05-004, dedicated to the development of the high performance tools that will allow the efficient aerodynamic design of new configurations. An adequate and general answer to optimization based on computationally expensive analysis lies in the exploitation of surrogate models in lieu of the expensive analysis results, i.e. Surrogate-Based Optimization. However, the performance of such methods is known to be largely dependent on the following key elements: • the underlying optimization algorithm(s), • the surrogate model(s), • the training, • the surrogate model(s) management scheme. The present topic focuses on the second element to be handled by Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). Cenaero possesses the expertise and critical technologies to tackle all these aspects in a coherent way to take a leap forward and make POD techniques truly efficient in an industrial setting. Cenaero proposes to implement and demonstrate on a GRA representative case an online (i.e. dynamic) non intrusive (Constrained) POD to perform the space reduction of the high-fidelity aerodynamic model, tackling the challenge of snapshot selection through innovative capture/recapture Design of Experiments and based on the most efficient generic interpolators for the reconstruction in the low-dimensional space.

The objective of this proposal is to support Liebherr Aerospace in building up an A320 slat equipped with an electro-thermal solution for wing ice protection system. First step will be to define the top level requirements to be mutually agreed with Liebherr and Airbus. This will be followed by a technological developments phase to evaluate solutions complying with Liebherr and Airbus’s criteria and integrating electrical components in a hybrid lay-up using advanced composite and metallic materials. A technological demonstrator will conclude this activity to freeze manufacturing process and tooling concept. Heating configuration and control strategy will then be defined in collaboration with Liebherr and assessed through an icing wind tunnel test campaign in order to confirm ice protection performances and system efficiency predicted by numerical simulations. Finally, the system architecture will be optimized for 3 different functional modes (A/I only, combined A/I & D/I, and a mode based on power regulation only (External cooling rate survey)). The 3 optimized architecture concepts performances will then be validated through a full scale IWT campaign, for which 3 demonstrators will be designed, manufactured and tested. Final assessment will be done and, even if performance analysis and relevance of an electro-thermal ice protection system is the main purpose of SONACA’s proposal, structural requirements will be briefly considered in order to evaluate viability of considered solutions for potential further research and technological developments. SONACA will use its experience in aircraft system and structure developments to assess developed solutions according to both points of view. The main objective is to imagine what could be the best compromise between system and structural functionalities that could not be reached without a strong integration of them. If conclusive, advice and recommendations will then be provided to give directions for next phases aiming to an increase of technical readiness level of the whole concept.

Under this proposal PACE GmbH will develop the required functionality using its leading knowledge-based engineering platform Pacelab Suite and the add-on module Pacelab APD for conceptual aircraft design. Both tools are well-established, industrialised products that offer an excellent basis for extension to consider novel, more electric architectures, and specifically the modelling of avionic and on-board general systems and their impact on the overall aircraft design. The resulting tool set will allow the ITD leaders to modell the system architectures in a graphic-interactive manner. Through the integration with Pacelab APD it will be possible to assess the impact on mass, center of gravity, power demand and cost. User-definable flight phases and failure modes will allow identification of the sizing conditions for the system components, the power plant and the overall aircraft structure. PACE GmbH is an SME that develops Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) software solutions to the aerospace, automotive and transportation industries which enable its customers to better predict and plan the feasibility, performance as well as the economic and ecological viability of their products. PACE GmbH offers world-class IT technology in combination with excellent engineering skills that allow supporting its customers throughout the entire solution development process, from specification and development to maintenance and support. This proposal comprises twentythree (23) man months of development, project management and documentation, and fits into the overall budgetary frame of the project. The requirements as laid out in the Topic Description are fully met. Under the Implementation Agreement, PACE will supply the ITD leaders with licenses for the commercial products used as a basis (“Background IP”) at favourable conditions. The results generated through the project work (“Foreground IP”) will be furnished to the ITD leaders at no cost for the duration of the GRA project.
