1981 - 1999 National Technical Systems (NTS), Chief Scientist
Dr. Lieberman was elected a member of the Fluid Mechanics Technical Committee of the AIAA, 1991-1996.
Member of the AIAA Hypersonic Technologies and Aerospace Planes (HYTASP) Subcommittee since 1991.
Dr. Lieberman chaired the session entitled, Experimental Methods" for the 26th AIAA Fluid Dynamics Conference, June 1995, San Diego, California.
Dr. Lieberman organized and chaired a morning and evening session of the AIAA 31st Aerospace Sciences Meeting in Reno Nevada, January 1993, entitled, " Hypersonic Vehicle System Issues."
Dr. Lieberman chaired a morning session of the AIAA 33rd Aerospace Sciences Meeting in Reno Nevada, January 1995, entitled, "Wind Tunnel Measurement Systems"
Dr. Lieberman prepared and presented a six-day course, "Dedication of Components for Nuclear Power Plants", in Tainan, Taiwan during the summer of 1992.
Dr. Lieberman is Chief Scientist at NTS. He has participated in the complete range of Military Standard testing of components for vibration, shock, pyroshock, acoustic, temperature, temperature shock, temperature and humidity, temperature and altitude, sand, rain, immersion, salt water spray, and solar radiation environmental tests. He also performs reliability analyses of hydraulic and electrical systems, accelerated aging test design, and failure modes and effects analyses. In addition he supports the EMI and electrostatic discharge test facilities. Most recently he has been selecting processes for extracting hydrocarbons, solvents and heavy metals contaminants from both the vadose and saturated soils for use by the NTS Environmental Services Group.
Dr. Lieberman evaluated nuclear reactor components rated for a 10-year lifetime, to check if they can be extended to 40-year lifetime. These activities included a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis.
He designed and patented a circular progressive wave tube for testing the Titan IV combustion chamber and nozzle extension wherein an oscillating shock in a supersonic jet generates the high intensity acoustic and ultrasonic power. The acoustic power exceeds that available from conventional modulators, especially in the range of 8,000 to 80,000 Hz. When one oscillating supersonic shock generator (OSSG) is driven by a gaseous oxidizer and another OSSG is driven by a gaseous fuel, there are extremely high temperatures and high acoustic-combined environments which can be obtained in an uncontained space for large and small test articles, with easy access for instrumentation and observation.
He designed a progressive wave facility that generates 190 dB OASPL. A train of blast waves of controlled periods is the basis for its operation. The facility can attain 195 dB OASPL for more than 10 seconds.
Dr. Lieberman reviewed the vacuum extraction. Bio-venting sparging and composting techniques for eliminating hydrocarbon and explosives contamination plumes in the soil. The vacuum extraction technique was selected for the contaminated soil at the Hartwood, Virginia site. Bioremediation proposals were prepared for the USEPA and DOE wherein heavy metals and radionuclides were in the contamination plume. For the Michigan Air National Guard Site in Alpina, Michigan he prepared ozone, oxygen, moisture, bioremediation and thermal treatment combination to remove high molecular weight hydrocarbons from vadose soil and from TPH laden soil and from TPH and lead laden soil; and a lime stabilization and solidification treatment for the leaded soil.
He designed a nuclear air blast simulator to test large shipboard antennas. The shock front was generated by the rapid fracture of a panel of brittle glass, with initial matched pressures on either side of the glass panel. The stored volume of gas and vent hole size controlled the positive phase duration. Designs were prepared to simulate the positive and negative phases of the blast wave. The concept can also be used to test large glass panels for response to sonic booms. Dr. Lieberman, with Ron Bocksruker, designed a burner for testing aircraft fire wall panels subjected to 550-psia stagnation, pressure and 3,000 oF flames. He also designed and built an ejector system to test the altitude performance of a special Marquardt cryogenic power plant component for NASP.
Dr. Lieberman conceived, wrote proposals, and was awarded such projects as holographic filters for eye protection against laser weapons, shearography for non-destructive testing; giant holographic mirrors that concentrate incoming optical signals at specific locations for target identification; holographic mirrors for solar cells and heating working fluids and camouflage coatings. He also developed an optical displacement gage. He also developed a microwave displacement history gage for automotive crash tests, and a piezoresistive pressure gage (5,000 psid to 450,000 psid) using ammoniated water as the sensing element. He developed a fiber optic cable to detect gas leaks from gas pipes. He evaluated a hydronic heat pump system for saving air conditioning and heating costs in a test HVAC network. He also developed an approach to pyrotechnic shock-plate testing to deliver specific shock spectra.
Dr. Lieberman participated in several large scale studies: Shallow Tunnel Basing Mode for Peacekeeper, the Cofferdam Concept Test Program for an upgraded Minuteman, the Titan IV Flame Deflector Study at Test Stand 1-C, and the DNA Shock Isolation Study for ICBMs in Missile Silos under Advance Threats.
Dr. Lieberman developed the concept of the NTS explosive-driven shock tube system that delivered pre-cursor airblast waveform loads to 1/6-scale models of the Hard Mobile Launcher. The grouser designs of four aerospace companies were evaluated.
1969 - 1981 TRW Systems Group, Vulnerability and Hardness Laboratory
Dr. Lieberman held the position of Senior Program Manger at TRW. Dr. Lieberman partook in the Peacekeeper Program at BMO involving acoustic, seismic, vibration, and infrared measurements as part of the Position Location Uncertainty Program of the Mobile MX in Multiple Shelters.
Dr. Lieberman was the Technical Director of Project HAVE NAME. This project investigated the electrical hazards associated with the release of carbon/graphite fibers from aircraft composite structures. The instrumentation aspects required the application and fielding of infrared light emitter diode detector systems, laser detector systems, radar systems, microwave free-space and microwave line-guided detector systems, high voltage discharge detector systems, infrared imaging camera, and iridium tagging. The system aspects required development of fiber cloud environments in free space as well as in duct systems and compartments, selection of sensitive electrical equipment in these calculated environments, arrangement of this equipment into a fault tree, specification of probability of survival and confidence in this probability of survival for each component over a range of environments, and the Monte Carlo computer calculation of the overall system survivability. These calculations were performed for aircraft, missile facilities, control centers and buildings. Data for the systems studies were obtained by participation in a series of field and laboratory tests at Rome Air Development Center, Naval Surface Weapon Center/Dahlgren Laboratory, Capistrano Test Site, TRW and Naval Weapons Center/China Lake. Additional data was obtained by his participation in the HAVE NAME Aircraft Accident Investigation Team. As Technical Director of Project HAVE NAME, Dr. Paul Lieberman evaluated the effects of selected breakdowns in the Autovon System in Feldberg, Donnersberg, and Kaiserslautern, West Germany; in Uxbridge, England; at NORAD, and at SAC Headquarters. In addition to the system survivability study, he evaluated communication equipment component operations in the Project HAVE NAME environment for the communication equipment aboard the B-52, KC135 and F-4.
Dr. Lieberman performed a concept and feasibility study of giant shock tubes for application to the MX System. He developed a 50-foot diameter by 2,000-feet long 1,200-psi blast facility that was practical for full-scale tests of the MX missile for AFWL/CERF. Structural and gas dynamics, as well as cost considerations, were required. He also performed a concept feasibility and design study and supervised the construction of a 1,000-psi blast facility, 9-feet diameter by 7-feet high, test volume, at Hill AFB for structural tests of the Minuteman splice cases. During a series of field tests in Colorado, Dr. Lieberman developed infrared and microwave instrumentation for measurement of the dust cloud concentration histories that were generated by 50-psi airblast waves from 100-ton explosions. He also introduced the concepts of mass addition and protuberances to attenuate airblast in the MX tunnel basing system, and verified the concept in a series of shock tube tests. He has performed analyses to obtain a closed form analytical solution of stress wave transmission in bilinear, layered media. He has also performed analyses to determine the strain-rate sensitivity of concrete to fast rise-time applied loads, the silo closure slab motion through frozen debris for gas pressurized driver system, the spall criteria in a concrete slab for fast rise-time high intensity thermomechanical waves, the response of the missile launch facility slab closure to impact by high velocity large rocks, and the criteria for placing two silo structures in the rock test bed with no coupling.
1957 - 1969 IIT Research Institute
Dr. Lieberman was a scientific advisor at IIT Research Institute where he conducted study and field test programs leading to the development of instrumentation and facilities in support of HEST and high explosive tests in soils and in rocks. He participated in and was a Project Engineer on several chemical and nuclear detonation test programs including MINE SHAFT, FLAT TOP II, FLAT TOP III, FLAT TOP I, TINY TOT, PILEDRIVER and RED HOT at the Nevada Test Site.
1955 - 1957 Rocket Engine Test Laboratory
At Rocket Engine Test Laboratory, Edwards AFB, Lt. Lieberman established the liquid oxygen boil-off of the Atlas missile and missile test stands, and evaluated preventative measures; he evaluated testing techniques for a 100,000 lb thrust fluorine-ammonia rocket propulsion system, and designed a facility for duplication of missile free flight vibration and altitude pressure conditions.
1955 - 1956 Princeton University
At James Forrestal Research Laboratory, Princeton University, Paul performed analyses in determining the natural frequency of combustion instability associated with the shape of the subsonic portion of convergent-divergent nozzle configurations.
Summer 1954 Bell Aircraft Corporation
During the summer of 1954, Mr. Lieberman developed and used an electrical model of heat transfer in nucleate boiling burnouts associated with coolant fluids in tubular rocket motor combustion chambers.
