Teledyne Scientific & Imaging LLC
We propose to establish a National Center for hypersonic materials and
structures, consisting of a core of seven major universities led by
Teledyne Scientific Company, with formal links to industry and
government.
The National Center will create a closely monitored network of
researchers and students working in cross-disciplinary collaboration and
emphasizing educational outreach.
We will revolutionize the design of hypersonic vehicles by creating a
new class of hybrid, hierarchical materials that achieve substantial
breakthroughs in oxidation resistance, maximum useable temperature, and
maximum supportable heat flux.
Our research will develop basic science needed to guide materials
design, and engineering science needed to enable designers to use the
new materials with efficiency and confidence.
New basic science will span:
- novel routes for combining different materials in tailored morphologies,
- new experimental methods that will enable the direct visualization of the mechanisms that control a material's performance; and
- multi-scale probabilistic model formulations that can simulate mechanisms at all length scales with high fidelity.
New engineering science will include:
- novel methods of net-shape processing; and
- the combination of experiments and multi-scale models into a virtual test system that will transform the way in which materials are designed and qualified.
