Spotlight on Pomegranate Webification services for science data files Pomegranate is a python application that webifies science data files. Supported formats include netcdf, hdf4, hdf5, grib and fits. It can be installed on web servers as either WSGI or CGI applications to provide webification (w10n) services. To learn more about w10n spec, please visit http://webification.org. Pomegranate can also be used as a standalone library or command line application. This simplifies the retrieval of meta and data information from files of supported formats. More information about... Read more...

Newly Hosted Applications ION Interplanetary Overlay Network The Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) software distribution is an implementation of Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) architecture as described in Internet RFC 4838. It is designed to enable inexpensive insertion of DTN functionality into embedded systems such as robotic spacecraft. The intent of ION deployment in space flight mission systems... Read more...

Hosting discipline: Internet Applications CDA Cyclic Damage Accumulation Life Prediction System CDA (Cyclic Damage Accumulation) performs high temperature, low cycle fatigue life prediction for materials analysis. It was designed to account for the effects on creep-fatigue life of complex loadings such as thermomechanical fatigue, hold periods, waveshapes, mean stresses, multiaxiality, cumulative damage, coatings, and environmental attack. Several features of the model... Read more... Hosting discipline: Crack Growth and Fatigue Analysis LAYER a program for predicting the thermomechanical fatigue life of metallic coated pwa 1480 single crystal superalloy LAYER performs thermomechanical fatigue life prediction for coated nickel-based anisotropic materials. Metallic coatings are routinely used in gas turbine engines to protect hot section airfoils from environmental degradation. With the addition of the coating, however, turbine airfoil life prediction is complicated because the coating is a primary fatigue crack initiation... Read more... Hosting discipline: Crack Growth and Fatigue Analysis Analog Input Data Acquisition Software KSC-13203 This program was designed to allow the user to easily set up a system to monitor up to five analog input channels and save the data after acquisition. This program was written in LabVIEW 8.0 and requires the LabVIEW runtime engine 8.0 (free download from ni.com) to run the... Read more... Hosting discipline: Engineering Applications
