6D Meta-Imaging of Material Evolution under Extreme Loading
Abstract
We shall track the transition from hetero- to homogeneous behaviour in materials, and span the states of matter from atomic to structural response. We shall in the process add to fundamental knowledge gained at the microscale where we shall observe the effects of volume and stacking defects on yield that will allow us to refine microstructures to control strength. This would produce understanding of failure in static and dynamic loading in critical structures at extremes. The project proposal consists of two linked components. The construction of cells and environments, coupled with the development of the onboard sensors and control electronics to interface to the facilities control systems, constitutes one component of the work to be achieved as part of this proposal. This environment development is coupled with the conduct of experiments across various fields which covers the second part of this proposal, the funding of a fellow whose role with be to manage and grow this field.
