``WORKSHOP'' AND ``SPECIALISTS MEETING'', OCT. 1995 The Structures and Materials Panel of AGARD will hold a Specialists' Meeting on ``Thermal Mechanical Fatigue of Aircraft Engine Materials'' from 2-4 October 1995 and a Workshop on ``The Design, Qualification and Maintenance of Vibration-Free Landing Gear'' from 4-5 October 1995 at the Baniff Park Lodge, Baniff, Canada. The Spcialists' Meeting will review the state-of-the-art experience in experimental methods as well as approaches to analytical modeling of damage accumulation and growth in metallic gas turbine engine material under thermal-mechanical fatigue (TMF) conditions. The meeting will address impact of TMF in aircraft engines, test methodologies, TMF damage mechanisms and analytical modeling/lifting methods. The Workshop will focus on the various vibration and instability problems that must be considered in the design of landing gear systems, paying particular attention to the problems related to vibrations of the combined structural system formed by the landing gear and the flexible aircraft structure. For further information, contact the AGARD National Coordinator, Lt Col Stephen Marino at 703-602-7358, fax 703-607-3158, e-mail to marinos.iaq@saf-ia.hq.af.mil, or write to the local SMP Coordinator, Dr. Jeff Waldman, Head Advanced Metallic & Ceramic Materials Branch, Naval Air Warfare Center (Code 6063), Warminster, PA 18974-0591.
