24-month effort will verify the modeling solution’s capability to accurately predict the life of premium aviation bearing steels
Buffalo, NY – September 25, 2023 – Sentient Science has been awarded a SBIR Phase IIE enhancement contract to validate DigitalClone’s ability to predict life expectancy of components made from premium aviation materials, such as M50 bearing steels. This advanced digital engineering capability will help users predict component life in advanced drive system designs, such as those proposed for the Army’s Future Vertical Lift (FVL) initiatives. The immediate benefit to the Army will be to further extend and validate the DigitalClone modeling solution for rolling element bearings under rolling contact fatigue (RCF) conditions.
“We appreciate this opportunity to further validate the capabilities of DigitalClone in collaboration with Army Aviation,” says Jason Rios, Sr Vice President of Sentient Science. “Enabling technologies like DigitalClone will be important contributors to the success of the Future Fleet by helping to reduce cost, schedule, and technical risk.”
