    Talk Title: Multiple Equilibria of Inflatable Structures

    Abstract: The shape of inflatable structures is determined by overall energy considerations coupled with the unilateral constraints imposed by their envelope (which is unable to carry compression) and by frictional self-contact. These ingredients lead to the existence of multiple equilibrium configurations, however our everyday experience with inflatable structures leads us to assume uniqueness. We tend to associate alternative equilibrium shapes with clearly anomalous deployment. Thus, the observation of large S-clefts during test flights of NASA superpressure balloons was initially attributed to some of kind of deployment anomaly, as these counterintuitive equilibrium shapes had not been seen before and could not be explained without first understanding the shape of clefted balloons. In this talk I will review some experiments that have confirmed the initial flight test observations and I will present an analysis that captures key aspects of the evolution of clefting during deployment and leads to S-clefts that closely resemble those seen in the experiments.

  • CIA Information Session hosted by NSBE

    Wed, Feb 01, 2012 @ 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM

    Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections

    Workshops & Infosessions


    Freshmen and Sophomores welcome!

    Technology so advanced, it’s classified. Are you looking for an exciting and challenging internship or full-time career? Consider employment with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In today’s world of ever-changing challenges, it is more important than ever for the CIA to stay ahead of fast-paced global technology developments. The classified work we are presently undertaking allows us to meet the Agency’s foreign intelligence mission through leadership in a wide range of scientific and technical disciplines. This is truly a unique opportunity for scientific and engineering experts to look beyond a commercial, product-driven mindset to goal-oriented, highly focused work of significant national importance. We will be conducting an information session to discuss the CIA mission, employment & internship opportunities and the employment/security clearance process with a particular focus on technical opportunities. We are particularly interested in the following majors: Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Computer Science.

    All applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation. US citizenship is required. A GPA of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale is required. All positions are located in the Northern Virginia/Washington DC metropolitan area.
