AIAA Health Assessment

• SESPC Assessment 6/13/2014- Focused on role of committee within AIAA

• Provided committee details- Membership- Schedule- Accomplishments- Goals

• Discussed support needed from AIAA• AIAA feedback due August 2015

5

Subcommittees

• Conferences and Workshops – Tom Liemkuehler- Participation in relative conferences- Focus on ICES

• External Affairs/Public Policy - Jose Roman• Awards – Joe Chambliss

- Student Poster Competition- Candidates for ICES award

• Membership – Brian O’Connor- Review of roster - Outreach to new members

• Education and Outreach – Hume Peabody- Development of ICES panel

• Website and Publications – Jen Miller/Brian O’Connor- 2014 Year in Review article

6

Education and Outreach – ICES Panel

• Draw on SESPC experience and to create an interactive forum to share and educate the community

• Focused on design and test margins• Participation from NASA, industry, and international committee members• Not able to be accommodated this year, but looking forward to moving

forward with this in the future- Possible to have this after daily sessions so as not to conflict with papers- Need to plan in advance to make sure this is in the schedule for next year

Should we have a Program Committee Logo?

• Other Program Committees have logos• These can be useful branding the PC

- For reports, - For presentations- For posters- For recruitment

Proposed Panel Description

Testing margins beyond expected temperatures and numbers of cycles are often a topic of discussion near the end of a program to preserve schedule and cost with the large amount of support staff necessary. However, design margins prior to the manufacture of a design have not been given as much scrutiny in the thermal community. It can be argued that the design margins could have a greater impact on power, mass, and cost (via complexity) margins over the life of a program than the testing margins near the end. Since the design margins necessitate the commitment of resources and consequently can impact other subsystems, it is important to design a system that is robust enough to meet requirements but not so over-designed as to erode cost and schedule margins to implement the design. This session seeks to provide some transparency to the design process and margins held in a design among various organizations and to open the topic for discussion as to what are appropriate levels of margin and risk to incur on flight programs.
