High Rate Mechanical Properties of Materials

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

The mechanical properties of polymers are strongly dependent on the rate of deformation. In particular, the interest is in how the elastic and fracture properties of polymers change as a function of mechanical testing rate. The study applies a microballistic-based measurement to understand the rate-dependent mechanical behavior of polymers from low impact speeds to ballistic speeds, focusing on the role of polymer architecture, such as network structure, backbone stiffness, and side group flexibility, on the rate-dependent elasti...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
