Materials for Initiation and Actuation
Abstract
The Materials for Initiation and Actuation thrust explored and developed materials for initiation and propagation of mechanical and/or chemical effects. Included efforts were structures for meso-scale, electrically initiated combustion and modulation of flame plasmas using acoustics and electrical fields. In addition, reactive structures that can be used to decrease the weight and increase the performance of munitions will be developed. Efforts under Materials for Initiation and Actuation have been merged under Multifunctional Materials and Structures starting in FY 2013.
