‘Raising European Students Awareness in Aeronautical Research Through School-Labs’ is the main objective of the project REStARTS. The objective of the project is to contribute in reversing the current trend of disinterest of young people towards aeronautics. In this project, the partners of the aeronautical research and training institutes develop informative material about current research topics in aeronautics including basic aerodynamic fundamentals like ‘How does an airplane fly?’ or special challenges the aeronautical research is facing like ‘How greening air transport?’ or ‘How to ensure satisfaction, safety and security of the passengers?’ .This demonstrates the direct link between research and society. The scientists work in cooperation with a pedagogic team and teachers of local schools to compile understandable teaching material, which also includes simple experiments to demonstrate the physical phenomena being investigated. The school lessons based on this material give a first impression of the challenges of the modern aeronautical research. The school-labs established at the research institutes provide more sophisticated experiments and enable school classes to get a hands-on experience in scientific work. Additional visits of the laboratories of the project partners and their industrial partners complete the program. This will build bridges between school theory and applied research by delivering an insight to the work of research organisations. The ambition is to stimulate young people’s interests in a R&D career in aeronautics and to create a European network of Aeronautical School-Labs.

In this project, we will investigate the quantum properties of nanoscale mechanical resonators. Suspended structures will be made of Al, SiN, GaAs, carbon nanotubes, and photonic crystals, covering frequencies in the MHz and GHz range. The vibrations will be excited by electrical means. To overcome the thermal noise, cooling of the low-frequency resonators will be performed. We will use two cooling techniques: sideband cooling due to the coupling to an electromagnetic resonator, and optical cooling. For the ultra-sensitive read-out of the displacement, optical methods will be used, as well as a novel technique based on incorporating the resonator into an arm of a superconducting interference device (SQUID). A part of the project will be devoted to developing methods of quantum manipulation with mechanical vibrations. Successful implementation of the project will require integration of mechanical and optical devices into nanoelectronic circuits. A close collaboration of theorists and experimentalists is essential for the success of the project. The theoretical research will concentrate on modeling cooling and read-out schemes by considering interaction of electrons with non-equilibrium phonons and photons. The project addresses basic research; mid-term and long-term applications are expected in the areas of sensing and quantum information.

The Project aims to develop new powertrain concepts able to give a substantial contribution to the achievement of a 50% CO2 reduction (based on 2005 figures) for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles for the new vehicle fleet in 2020. In particular, the research target on spark ignited (SI) engines powered vehicles is to achieve 40% lower CO2 emissions with respect to the 2005 values and 20% lower CO2 emission than the 2005 level for compression ignition (CI) engine powered vehicles. The objective includes also the target of near-zero emission levels (better than EURO 6) maintained during the useful life of the engines and keeping into account real life emissions, in line with the intention to amend the test procedures in emission legislation in view of real life emissions. Three different concepts will be investigated and implemented: - ultradownsizing gasoline engine integrating VVA, advanced turbocharging and Direct Injection; - two-stroke downsized diesel engine integrating HCCI and low temperature combustion modes; - combined combustion system based on Compression Ignited engine dedicated to new fuel formulation. Transversal supporting activities will be integrated for evaluating and assessing: advanced simulation methodologies for powertrain integration, advanced approaches for friction reduction (design solutions, coatings and surface treatments, lubricants), PEMS methodologies for real world emission analysis.

The main objective of the INNOSUTRA project is ‘to assess the conditions, including policy support, under which innovative concepts have a high chance of getting adopted and being successful’. The work will start from the state-of-the-art and results attained in previous research projects and actions dealing with innovation processes, not only at European but often also at national or regional level, with the following goals targeted towards key action 5. Firstly, to identify the paths that new innovative concepts usually follow, what key determinants are, which actors are involved, and what policy has been doing and can do. As part of this, a typology of variables will be established, which will determine the possible path options. This will be the basis for the identification of successful adoption paths. Illustrations will be provided of the performance of innovative concepts in the transport sector, covering the maritime and port, land and integrated transport sectors, fitting each time into one of the typology cells. A further goal will be to come up with clear policy recommendations, identify best practices, barriers to implementation and transferability of innovative concepts and processes. Finally, the research will establish developments needed in assessment methods, complementary tools and a methodological framework if innovative concepts are introduced. Stakeholder consultation, collaboration and dissemination is a strong thread running through the whole of the research as a means of obtaining information, stimulating new thinking, providing feedback through peer review and strengthening the link between research and policy making.

HERMES project will provide development and analysis of new mobility schemes and associated organisational patterns at the interface and interconnection between long distance transport networks and local/regional transport network. Although these are conceptually simple operations, requiring only some real-time telecommunication, there are organizational and contractual difficulties in its realisation. The first part should concentrate on identification of the key requirements of the travellers, the corresponding services and necessary underlying company agreements to provide them, followed by a business plan for the operation. The second part of the project would have demonstrations in the selected corridors for a period of at least 6 months of field experience. The final product of the project should be a handbook of recommendations based on the analytical part and on the demonstration part of the project. Prototypes for the business model of the innovative services will be developed and further tested in case studies for validation of its functional, economic and organizational aspects aiming to provide recommendations regarding enhanced co-ordination between decision-making levels on issues related to the interconnection of transport networks of different scales and modes, addressing institutional, legal, design, planning, technical and deployment aspects.

The aim of PRESS4TRANSPORT (Virtual Press Office to improve EU Sustainable Surface Transport research media visibility on a national and regional level) is to promote sustainable surface transport research results on a national and regional level by employing an innovative dissemination methodology with a new powerful tool capable of enhancing and maximizing the media visibility of the SST results and products achieved and the research carried out. PRESS4TRANSPORT will collect structure and most importantly make accessible and visible key national and regional RTD results via a user-friendly, low-maintenance online platform which serves as both a complementary tool to the Transport Knowledge Research Centre (TKRC) and a unique added-value VPO service to strengthen the use of already available and upcoming research results to promote towards a wide audience. The main idea of PRESS4TRANSPORT is to fill a gap of communication capabilities by the projects for a correct and truly “visible” dissemination of the results achieved. A group of professional journalists will operate behind the Virtual Press Office and transform the inputs received by the consortia on their communication needs into professional press releases. The definitive goal of PRESS4TRANSPORT is thus to help national and regional SST RTD project consortia, to communicate their research results through mainstream European media. With a consortium balanced in SST research, media and industrial expertise as well as a full European geographical reach, PRESS4TRANSPORT’s ultimate aim is to get the correct and effective message of sustainable surface transport research across to the relevant stakeholders and contribute to promoting “safer, greener and smarter” SST systems for the benefit of all Europe.

In the project ADMAP-GAS new Unconventional Advanced Manufacturing Processes for Gas-Engine Turbine Components will be developed in order to substitute the critical conventional broaching process for fir tree profiles between rotating blades and disks. Therefore the two manufacturing technolgies “High Speed Wire-EDM Broaching” and “Abrasive Water Jet Broaching” – W² - will be developed, optimised and evaluated highlighting their individual performance and effectiveness for the machining task. High material removal rates and highest surface finishing will be achieved resulting in an equal or even better workpiece performance. By using these two unconventional manufacturing technologies with their inherent advantages a much higher technological and time based flexibility in production of fir tree profiles can be achieved. Failure risks and machining costs will be drastically decreased due to faster and more efficient machining in combination with a higher degree of automation. Tool wear and time consuming tool renewal can be avoided. Machine tool footprints (in comparison to conventional horizontal broaching centers) or machine heights and fundaments (vertical centers) will be drastically reduced. Energy consumption will be reduced and environment will be preserved. ADMAP-GAS addresses the relevance to the call by the “development of techniques for increased flexible tooling” for the manufacture of gas turbine components. The W² technologies will also enable the application of innovative and light weight design concepts (more complex shapes, tighter tolerances, etc.) for the turbine components that were not possible due to the technical limitations of the broaching process. This will additionally result in reduced production costs across the whole production cycles. Production waste and consumables will be minimised. A high degree of automation and faster machining times will result in a highly effective machining process with virtually no failure risk.

Bonded composite patches are ideal for aircraft structural repair as they offer enhanced specific properties, case-tailored performance and excellent corrosion resistance. Bonding further eliminates stress concentrations induced from mechanical fastening of metal sheets, seals the interface, and reduces the risk of fretting fatigue between the patch and the component. IAPETUS focuses on the use of improved composite repair systems offering (i) the introduction of new on-aircraft simplified curing technologies, (ii) enhanced fatigue and damage tolerance properties and (iii) integrated damage sensing. This will be performed via the incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) both in the composite matrix of the repair patch as well as in the adhesive. The use CNT modified repair concept will lead to improved performance in the blunting of stress concentrations in the parent surface and the inhibition of crack propagation, leading to enhanced fatigue resistance at the locus of the repair as well as for the patch itself. At the same time, the patch repair acquires additional functionalities. The CNT doped Carbon Composites can be tailored to reduce the galvanic corrosion in repaired Aluminium structures. As the patch becomes electrically and thermally conductive thermal energy can be infused in the patch either by direct resistance heating (using the patch itself as heating element via the application of electrical voltage) or by induction heating, to instigate a uniform matrix polymerization since the patch system appears improved thermal conductivity too. The electrically conductive percolated network can be employed to assess the damage within the patch and its interface with the repaired structure, as conductivity changes mirror the damage in the doubler/substrate system by tracing micro damage through breaches in the CNT network; thus, the structural efficiency monitoring at any stage in the service life of the aerostructure can be assessed non-destructively.

Thin films are being increasingly used in advanced technological applications. The use of these films as coatings is often limited by their lack of stability due to wettability properties of the substrates; however, one can employ the instabilities to create complex microscopic functional structures. Furthermore, the development of microfluidic applications such as DNA microarrays or drug screening techniques requires a fundamental understanding of static and dynamic interfacial phenomena. Fluids of interest in biology, chemistry, and in various applications are rarely simple single-phase fluids. These systems pose fundamental questions that become more challenging when free interfaces and wetting properties of the substrate are involved. For instance, for a thin film of a polymeric blend the dynamics of the decomposition within the film and the dewetting of the film itself couple. This allows for new pathways of structuring like decomposition induced dewetting. Normally, the dynamics of a binary mixture is described by the so called model-H coupling momentum transport (Navier-Stokes) and nonlinear diffusion (Cahn-Hilliard). We have extended in previous works the model-H by incorporating boundary conditions that allow to describe an evolving free surface. The present project will focus on the study of relevant problems arising in films of binary mixtures such as polymer blends and flows of binary mixtures. Based on extensions of model-H the following objectives will be pursued: i) to study the effect of external electric fields on the structure formation, dynamics, phase coexistence, and stability of films of binary mixtures, ii) to understand the effect of surface tension and finite surface deflections on the phase separation and dynamics of binary mixtures, iii) to study the interplay between varying dewetting properties and evolution of binary mixtures.
