Note:
The objective of this work is to create a partnership between ARL and the University of North Texas (UNT) to collaborate in developing advanced manufacturing technologies to create lightweight metal and ceramic materials that display superior performance, can sustain large deformation rates and support adaptive and responsive functionalities of future Army systems. This program includes a combination of advanced and additive manufacturing processing research, light weight metal and ceramic material development, characterization, computational design, and performance testing. New materials and synthesis technology capabilities will be developed, including processing under intense electrical, magnetic, optical and physical fields for advanced and additive manufacturing techniques to create metal and ceramic graded materials. Controlled morphology and structure metals , alloys, ceramics, and their composites will be created using these new processes . The efforts are planned under close collaborations between UNT faculty, graduate students and ARL scientists and engineers, where joint research leveraging expertise and facilities, joint technical reviews, discussions and documentation of the project results in joint.scientific publications would be considered to monitor the progress of this collaborative effort. The proposed research effort will create agile manufacturing processing for lightweight and high strength materials as well as the materials with adaptive and responsive behavior. The effort will create a necessary knowledge and technology basis for discovery, innovation, and transition of advanced material and manufacturing technologies in the support of Army's current and future needs in advanced materials and manufacturing.
