The magnitude of cancer risk in humans exposed to low radiation doses (<100mSv) is uncertain and depends upon extrapolation of human population based estimates obtained at higher doses. The linear non-threshold extrapolation model currently used has some support from mechanistic/biophysical considerations but it is not based on understanding of the biological responses of the cells of origin for radiation cancer. Stem cells are widely recognised as the cells of origin for many cancers. Understanding the responses of stem cells to low radiation doses will be important therefore in providing mechanistic support for low dose cancer risk extrapolation. In this project, techniques emerging from stem cell biological and tissue kinetics research will be used to address several major areas of uncertainty in low dose (<100 mGy) cancer risk estimates: 1. The identification and enumeration of stem/progenitor cells at risk 2. Understanding low dose radio-sensitivity of stem cells and tissues. 3. Improving understanding of mechanisms of age-dependant cancer risk 4. Improving understanding of tissue specific differences in cancer risk. 5. Identification of key events and individual susceptibility factors associated with cancer development. The primary output of the RISK-IR project will be peer reviewed scientific papers. Considerable efforts will be made to consolidate scientific evidence of relevance for radiation protection through reviews and dissemination of project results and implications to radiation protection specialists will be facilitated through a stakeholder meeting in the final year of the project.

Safety issues are of fundamental importance for the acceptance and sustainable application of nuclear energy. Actinides play a central role in the nuclear fuel cycle from mining, fuel fabrication, energy production, up to treatment of used fuel by reprocessing, partitioning and transmutation and/or finally management and disposal of radioactive waste. A fundamental understanding of actinide properties and behaviour in fuel materials, during the separation processes and once in geological repository is an imperative prerequisite to tackle all the related safety issues. Unravelling the complexity of the principal actinide components of used nuclear fuel certainly represents one of the grand challenges in nuclear science. In order to meet the needs of the safe and sustainable management of nuclear energy, it is therefore essential to maintain highest level of expertise in actinide sciences in Europe and to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers who will contribute to develop safe actinide management strategies. Because actinides are radioactive elements, their study requires specific tools and facilities that are only available to a limited extent in Europe. Only a few academic and research organisations have the capabilities and licenses to work on these elements under safe conditions. It is therefore strategic to coordinate the existing actinide infrastructures in Europe, and to strengthen the community of European scientists working on actinides. In the continuation of ACTINET-6 and ACTINET-I3, TALISMAN will foster the networking between existing European infrastructures in actinide sciences open them widely to any European scientists by offering and supporting transnational access to unique facilities. To meet its objectives, TALISMAN will animate and organize a network of actinide facilities across the EU that will increase our knowledge for a safer management of actinides fostering training and education.

Conventional racks for avionics are made from metal. Most of the avionics fielded today offer a monolithic architecture in form closed box packed with electronics and lots of connectors at the front or the back with corresponding heavy cable harness. More recent developments go for modular avionics, packing electronics with standard dimensions and connectors that assure physical interchangeability. The proper housing protects the electronics against the environment, ensures EMC and supports the thermal management. In order to reach higher power density and lower costs the optimisation of the housing is a must. The amount of electronically controlled tasks in modern aircraft is increasing steadily and also the contribution of racks for avionics to the overall weight of an aircraft has reached a magnitude that requires an analysis to obtain mass reduction. Modern structures built in composite technology are able to provide important mass savings with respect to conventional designs. The advantages of high performance composites are many, including lighter weight, the ability to tailor lay-ups for optimum strength and stiffness, improved fatigue life, corrosion resistance and, with good design practice, reduced assembly costs due to fewer detail parts and fasteners. Composite enclosures can be made significantly lighter than machined aluminium enclosures and may be produced at an affordable cost provided a modular approach is followed while possessing equal or better mechanical and thermal performance. The objective of the present work is the development of a lightweight “open box” ARINC housing (ARINC standards) which withstands vibration levels C/C1 according to RTCO-DO160. A lightweight and modular composite solution is proposed. Using advanced fibre-reinforced composite materials, a 40 % of weight reduction in the housing is estimated.

Active flow control systems are being researched, as they might allow to reduce the size, weight, and complexity of high-lift devices. Such active flow control systems, however, require effective, efficient, and reliable flow control actuators. TUB has contributed to developing these actuator technologies in JTI-SFWA projects DT-FA-AFC and FloCoSys. In the work proposed here, the next step is taken to further the TRL level of the devised fluidic actuators by redesigning them with respect to enhanced robustness and putting them to test in the numerous harsh environment situations the AFC system would encounter when implemented in practice. By combining the input from major industry partners in the field of aviation, such as Airbus and Dassault, the testing capabilities of INCAS, and the experience of TUB in developing and testing actuator, it is hoped to contribute to reaching TRL 6 for flow control actuator technology.

The Smart Operation on Ground (SOG) concept has appeared at the end of the 60’s, but technology was not efficient enough to allow introducing the concept. It is not anymore the case, and this project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of an electrical solution. SOG PEERS includes basic functions like forward and backward motion; moreover, it includes electrical braking, cruise control and energy braking recovery and storage. Stored energy will be managed to be used for example to supply emergency braking or emergency Landing Gear Extension Retraction System. ADENEO has been working in different fields for motor control and has developed asynchronous and synchronous controllers hardware and software with the associated certification level in DO178 and D254 (currently for A350 XWB A/C). ADENEO is used to design embedded power converters. Starting 20 years ago with the railway industry, ADENEO brought it power electronic knowledge to aircraft industry to design converters for aircraft electrical networks. ADENEO has got significant experience in energy braking recovery, especially in light railway industry. By developing and testing embedded and stationary solutions, ADENEO has built strong experience, and now manages mature solutions that can be brought to aeronautic field. In railway industry, ADENEO has been selected to present NEOGREEN, its braking energy recovery product at the international Braking Energy Recovery workshop in Bielefeld of Ticket To Kyoto association in 2011. An embedded demonstrator has been tested in commercial service in Paris during 2 years, and a first NEOGREEN has been installed beginning of 2011 in Lyon tramway network. Based on this, and according to short time development schedule, ADENEO will be able to provide a TRL4 demonstrator, based on internal COTS specially upgraded to fit to SOG PEERS project environment.

MIFACRIT aims at developing a failure criterion for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) structures. This criterion shall allow reliability and lifetime assessments of structural parts and systems made of several stack configurations. It shall be deduced from mechanical effects within the microstructure of the FRP structures in order to cover various mechanical loading situations. This ambitious goal is approached by a symbiotic combination of experimental test and anal-ysis work with in-depth assessment and evaluation based on numerical simulation applying fracture / damage mechanics concepts. The material tests comprise visco-elastic characteri-zation and stress tests applying constant strain rate and cyclic loads, respectively. The tests are performed at different temperatures and frequencies. Most importantly, they include a variety of loading situations such as tensile and bending loads but also combinations of normal and shear components. The analysis determines the visco-elastic material properties and the micro-structural effects responsible for damage and failure of the FRP structure in a comprehensive way. The in-depth analysis of the damage and failure effects by means of numerical simulation will apply a two stage (global / local) sub-modeling strategy. The es-sential model parameters are calibrated by measured data and the simulation results are verified by the experimental findings. Combining experiment and simulation this way, the common link between the failure effects caused by the various loading situations will be shown and explained by means of an objective mechanical criterion, which will be indentified and validated throughout the MIFRACRIT project. In addition, threshold quantities will be determined for the criterion found to ultimately provide the means for precise lifetime predic-tions based on this physics of the failure approach.

E_SLEEVE activities deal with the design, set-up and demonstration of two distinct processes for the filament winding of the required carbon composite retaining sleeve, to be realized directly integrated onto the high speed motocompressor rotor of air conditioning systems used in aircraft application: the first one will use Cyanate Ester resin and subsequent bulk curing, the second one will use specific resins for high temperature use and for direct layer-by-layer curing to be performed via low energy Electron beam, simultaneously to the filament winding process itself. Each process will be validated by manufacturing the required five sleeves directly on the rotor sub-assembly. Next Technology Tecnotessile has internal expertise and equipment from previous projects and commissions allowing to fulfil the Topic expectations. Two European-level experts in layer-by-layer E-beam curing for aerospace applications, will be involved to advice on resin formulation and provide support to process design and set-up and to validation activities. Further industrial up-scaling scenarios with cost analysis will be produced for both processes and full collaboration with Topic Manager on exploitation and dissemination activities will be provided.

The GyroWing project is part of the global project “Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft” (SFWA), whose objectives address environmental issue (by increasing the performances of aircraft) and passenger comfort (in reducing noise level). GyroWing represents an ASIC which aims at integrating the overall electronic control required for achieving the most miniaturized gyrometer. After a specification phase and the system modelling, the project will enable the realization of this ASIC, including a high resolution electronic part, and its characterization after prototyping. GyroWing aims at providing high performances solutions, based on ultra-low noise analog front-end, with all its required peripherals (such as HF carrier, compensation paths, voltage reference, regulators, high voltage features…) for enabling the most integrated solution. This will result on a low volume, low weight and low bill of material final solution. For achieving the highest TRL level for the ASIC, the project will be based on the experience of participant on avionics and inertial measurement units, but also on industrialization.

The purpose of the present project is to develop an ASIC implementing a readout interface for a resonant accelerometer. It is developed in response to the requirements described in the Clean Sky call for proposals referenced under CS-2012-01-SFWA-01-046 and the specifications the topic manager will provide at the beginning of the project. Resonant accelerometers offer the advantage over capacitive ones to be less sensitive to radiations, which makes them ideal candidates for harsh environments applications. Whereas capacitive accelerometers exploit the change of capacitance of an element such a MEMS when it is subject to acceleration, resonant accelerometers detect the shift of the resonant frequency of a device when it is subject to acceleration. The consortium is composed of two partners, CSEM and HMT, which both have a long track record in the design of integrated circuits apart from having complementary expertise, covering all the aspects of the project. CSEM has a recognized experience in low power and low voltage design of analogue and digital circuits, as well as wide competencies in the design of complex System-on-Chip (Soc).. HMT is specialized in "mixed signal" ASICs and modules, particularly for sensors and actuators in highly demanding fields.

The Clean Sky call (CS-SFWA) requests the development, manufacturing and test of a mock-up of a flow control actuator subsystem. The mock-up shall simulate a flight-ready actuator prototype for controlling flow separation on the high lift devices of transport and business aircraft. CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES (coordinator, SME) and ONERA/GMT/DERM (Major Sub Contractor, Research Establishment) forms a consortium using their shared experience on innovative electromechanical actuators and flow control valves to meet the SFWA requirements. CTEC has experience in developing actuators & systems (including valves) for embedded devices. Historic sector is space. Since 1995, CTEC has developed many space compliant systems in behalf of CNES, ESA and NASA. Other serious customers like Thales, Agusta Wesland, ONERA, MBDA… are sensitive to products robustness, quality and project management. CTEC owns patents, belongs to OSEO Excellence and is regularly granted with prises. DERM has already designed and manufactured several high-performance pulsed jets valves using CTEC actuators and electronics. Integrated inside models, the actuators allow DERM to perform flow control studies in wind tunnel conditions. CTEC and DERM have worked for 4 years in a close partnership on high-performance pulsed jets valves based on piezoelectric actuators. Results are very encouraging. CTEC and DERM have identified many potential progresses which could lead to higher performance valves. Lighter actuators & more efficient electronics lead to higher valve bandwidth, precise sensors lead to control quality, dedicated piezo material lead to better efficiency… CTEC & DERM are confident to meet the objectives of the call and have decided to establish the proposal VIPER. The following WBS is proposed: WP1 – Management WP2 – Concept Analysis of VIPER & resulting Trade-Off Matrix: WP3 – Detailed design of VIPER WP4 – Manufacturing of a 1:1 scale VIPER on a 400mm span WP5 – Tests of VIPER WP6 – Synthesis
