[Federal Register: February 8, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 25)] [Notices] [Page 6061] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr08fe99-62] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Army Notice of Intent to Enter Into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement Concerning CASTTM AGENCY: U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Department of Defense. ACTION: Notice of Intent. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Weapons and Materials Research Directorate and the University of Delaware Center for Composite Materials, are actively seeking a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) partner for the further development and commercialization of the Composite Analysis Software Tools (CASTTM) technology. CASTTM is a suite of computer codes designed to predict the behavior of composite materials both during and after manufacturing. A brief description of each of the codes within the CASTTM suite and their capabilities can be found at http://www.federallabs.org/flc/ma/pl. The software is already utilized in the composites research and development community, and enhancements could greatly broaden its utility for the academic and commercial sectors. The CRADA partner will assist in enhancing, documenting, distributing, maintaining, and providing user support for the software. A meeting will be held at the University of Delaware Center for Composites Manufacturing, 14 April 1999, to discuss the specifics of the proposed CRADA. The meeting will be held at the Composites Manufacturing Science Laboratory from 1000- 1200. Please register for this conference at http:// wee.federallabs.org/flc/ma/pl.
