Mechanics of Multiphase Materials Subjected to Combined External Field(s)
Abstract
This instrumentation project aims to elucidate the phase-dependent behavior of inorganic multiphase materials subjected to external fields (i.e., electric, acoustic, thermal, and stress) at cryogenic temperatures. Despite the potentially dominating role of energy localization during the loading of a multiphase material, the energy distribution within the material is poorly understood. Dissipation of energy generated by external fields is controlled by the intrinsic properties of materials through coupled interactions. This process becomes very complex when the thermal equilibrium is violated. Therefore, this project seeks to understand fundamental physical processes and physical properties of inorganic multiphase materials under combined fields to reveal materials with capabilities relevant to the Air Force. A systematic methodology will be adopted to facilitate the validation of multiscale models while bridging length scales. The proposed instrumentation will provide a platform to perform coupled experiments and will create foundational measurement capabilities for designing resilient materials.
