The present conference discusses aerobrake-maneuver vehicle aerothermodynamics, aerothermal issues in the structural design of high speed vehicles, laser surface-alloying of superlight metals with ceramic surfaces, high-temperature Al alloys for supersonic and hypersonic vehicles, advanced metallics for high temperature airframes, novel materials for engine applications, and the development status of computational methods for high temperature structural design. Also discussed are a transient thermal-structural analysis using adaptive unstructured remeshing and mesh movement, the FEM thermoviscoplastic analysis of aerospace structures, hot-structures testing techniques, a thermal-structural analysis of a carbon-carbon/refractory metal heat pipe-cooled leading edge, dynamic effects in thermoviscoplastic structures, microlevel thermal effects in metal-matrix composites (MMCs), thermomechanical effects in the plasma spray manufacture of MMC monotapes, and intelligent HIP processing. Most of the presentations at this conference were abstracted previously (see A91-16027 to A91-16047).
