| This paper is an examination of the relevance that terrestrial nuclear energy has with regard to U.S. national security. Terrestrial nuclear energy is herein defined as energy produced from land-based nuclear reactors. The principal application for terrestrial nuclear reactors is in the generation of electricity. Maritime or space-vehicle propulsion reactors are excluded from this definition, as are nuclear weapons. While the national security implications of thermonuclear warheads and nuclear-powered warships ... |

|
| In light of an increasing U.S. dependence on foreign oil, as well as rising fuel costs for the U.S. and the DoD, and implications with regard to national security and national defense, JASON was charged in 2006 by the DDR&E to assessing pathways to reduce DoD's dependence on fossil fuels. The key conclusions of the study are that, barring unforeseen circumstances, availability concerns are not a decision driver in the ... |

| In January 1993, American Flywheel Systems Inc. (AFS) initiated a program to develop and commercialize its proprietary Electro-Mechanical Flywheel Battery (EMFB) for commercial deployment in electric vehicles. The operational prototype was to demonstrate the technical viability and operation of the Electro Mechanical Flywheel Battery (EMFB) as a commercially feasible replacement to conventional chemical batteries. As an intermediate technical step in that process, and to provide an opportunity to evaluate a ... |

| The structure of the higher oxide forms of nickel (where Ni has a valency greater than +2) is of great interest from the standpoint, of developing advanced nickel batteries for consumer applications and for electric vehicle propulsion. In spite of the considerable research work that has been published, there is still much uncertainty and confusion as to the stoichiometry and structure of the various oxides (hydroxides) that are formed during ... |

 | Interest in nonpetroleum fueled ground vehicles led Stafford to develop the computer code, Electric Vehicle Simulation (EVSIM). EVSIM was designed to predict the performance of current electric vehicles or to be used in the design of electric/hybrid vehicles. Before EVSIM could be used, it needed to be verified by comparing its predictions to the results of a vehicle test. It was also desired to improve the code's ability to model ... |

|
| The forecasting of the performance of electric vehicles has revealed many discrepancies when compared to actual test data. An electric vehicle computer simulation program was developed to ameliorate this deficiency. The approach was to establish a very comprehensive and flexible vehicle model and simulate its operation on a realistic driving cycle. The driving cycle selected was the Federal Urban Driving Sequence. A thorough vehicle model was established that incorporate aerodynamic ... |

| This thesis discusses three basic concepts of economic analysis: the time value of money, life cycle cost, and reliability theory. Using these concepts, a method of economic analysis is developed to be used in evaluating the possible replacement of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs). This methodology is then demonstrated by comparing two possible alternatives for replacement of the existing fleet of pickup trucks assigned to the ... |

| Weight reduction, cost competitiveness, and elimination of the intrusion beam resulted from the redesign and fabrication using composite materials of the door outer panel and intrusion beam from a 1977 Chevrolet Impala. The basis of the redesign involved replacing these two steel parts with a single compression molding using the unique approach of simultaneously curing a sheet molding compound outside panel with a continuous glass fiber intrusion strap.
