    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining optical properties for light transmitted mediums are provided. One method includes acquiring one or more measured values indicative of a reflectance for a material, acquiring one or more measured values indicative of a transmittance for the material, and determining a set of calculated values for an index of refraction coefficient and an extinction coefficient from the one or more measured values indicative of reflectance and transmittance, respectively. The method includes identifying a calculated value from the set of calculated values for the index of refraction coefficient and a calculated value from the set of calculated values for the extinction coefficient that are within a threshold determined by the difference between the one or more measured values indicative of the reflectance or transmittance and a predicted reflectance or transmittance, respectively. The method includes determining a reflectance and transmittance for the material using the calculated values.

    Abstract: Provided are assemblies having composite structures interlocked with shape memory alloy structures and methods of fabricating such assemblies. Interlocking may involve inserting an interlocking protrusion of a shape memory alloy structure into an interlocking opening of a composite structure and heating at least this protrusion of the shape memory alloy structure to activate the alloy and change the shape of the protrusion. This shape change engages the protrusion in the opening such that the protrusion cannot be removed from the opening. The shape memory alloy structure may be specifically trained prior to forming an assembly using a combination of thermal cycling and deformation to achieve specific pre-activation and post-activation shapes. The pre-activation shape allows inserting the interlocking protrusion into the opening, while the post-activation shape engages the interlocking protrusion within the opening. As such, activation of the shape memory alloy interlocks the two structures.
