Soil & Rock Mech
Abstract
This project fosters basic research to correlate the effects of the nano- and micro-scale behavior on the macroscale performance of geological and structural materials to provide a foundation for the creation of future revolutionary materials and to revolutionize the understanding of sensor data within heterogeneous geological systems. This research encompasses geologic and structural material behavior, structural systems, and the interaction with dynamic and static loadings. Research includes underlying physics and chemistry that control the mechanics and electromagnetic behavior of geological and structural materials, new techniques that provide measurements at the fundamental scale, and fundamental theories for relating nano- and micro-scale phenomena to macro-scale performance. Work in this project provides the basis for applied research in Program Element 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology), Project T40 (Mobility/Weapons Effects Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering science and technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, MS.
