Performing experimental measurements of propagation of shock waves in metallic samples will help estimate dynamic strength of materials.
Program: FURI
Understanding the mechanisms for damage growth is key to the development of predictable defense and armor systems.
Studying the particle velocity at different locations of a rippled shock front provides a potential new technique to evaluate dynamic strength.
Improving the knowledge-base of damage propagation through materials will help develop protection systems.
Studying the effects of non-traditional alloying elements in nickel can lead to stronger materials for high temperature use.
An understanding of the compressibility of polymers under ballistic loading conditions will help improve armor systems.
