Abstract
This report details results from a program supported through the ARO to establish technical collaborative links between investigators at the Johns Hopkins University and their technical counterparts at the Army Research Laboratories/Materials Directorate. With technical program guidance primarily from Dr. James McCauley, eight research tasks were pursued. For each task an investigator at the ARL Materials Directorate provided guidance and, in many cases, close collaboration toward achieving the research task goals. Each of these programs has built collaborative interaction between JHU and ARL and, we hope, has formed the basis for a long term collaborative interaction. In addition to the eight research tasks supported, the program has made accommodation for seven ARL researchers to be housed at the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus. Both office space and designated laboratory space are occupied and used by these researchers. Among these visiting scientists are principal collaborators for three of the research tasks. Three ARL/MD scientists also have matriculated as PhD candidates in the Johns Hopkins Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Thus, a total of ten ARL scientists have been housed on-site at Johns Hopkins. Tasks discussed include corrosion protection, compliant smart materials, metal matrix composites, Tungsten penetrators, nondestructive evaluation, chemical barriers elastomers, silicon surface modification, and the processing of ductile iron.
