Adaptive and Wave Tunable Systems for Active Damage Assessment and Mitigation
Abstract
To support the development of lightweight, flexible, and adaptive structures there is a need for wave-tunable materials whose properties can be adjusted to meet desired functional requirements over wide frequency ranges and theoretical models of the mechanics governing the structural shape reconfigurations in flexible structures under variable operating conditions. This project aims at exploring a new approach for adaptive dynamic responses by reconfiguring flexible structures at multiple length scales to manipulate wave propagation. The team will investigate thin-walled structures whose microstructural topologies can be spatially controlled to enable varying flexibility across the structures and manage stress distribution in the structures under static and dynamic loadings.
