High Deformation Rate Materials

Abstract

This research addresses Army-unique issues in fundamental materials research involving the performance of advanced materials at high deformation rates for applications including armor and armaments. Fundamental understanding is developed to enable design, processing, and characterization of materials specifically intended for high loading-rate applications, including improved physics based models, methods to characterize materials microstructure, interfaces, and defects and their role on materials response, and the determination of rate-dependent constitutive and failure/fracture behavior of materials.
