This Grant is a continuation of N000141410516. Probabilistic Multi-Scale Damage Tolerance Modeling of Composite Patches for Naval Aluminum

Abstract

The two basic research tasks will be completed in a three year period of performance as follows:Task 1: Investigation of crack growth through hybrid structure under fatigue loadingSubtask 1.1: Development of FEM using multi-scale approach (years 1-3)Subtask 1.2: Experimental characterization of sensitized aluminum (year 1)Subtask 1.3: Probabilistic analysis to support FEM development (years 1-2)Subtask 1.4: Reliability study to identify critical parameters (year 3)Subtask 1.5: Experimentation to evaluate damage tolerance (years 2-3)Task 2: Study of patch disbond under impact loadingSubtask 2.1: Development of FEM using multi-scale approach (years 1-3)Subtask 2.2: Experimental characterization of disbond behavior (year 1)Subtask 2.3: Probabilistic analysis to support FEM development (years 1-2)Subtask 2.4: Reliability study to identify critical parameters (year 3)Subtask 2.5: Experimentation to evaluate damage tolerance (years 2-3)
