This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AU36H, was issued by NASA to Arizona State University (ASU) for the development of a robust and computationally efficient modeling methodology to accurately capture the impact and transient dynamic response of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) with complex material architectures, structural geometries, and loading conditions. The $220,000.00 award falls under NASA's "HIGH-FIDELITY MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF ADVANCED POLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITES SUBJECTED TO IMPACT/DYNAMI" major program and is a training grant without any set-aside designation. The research aims to address shortcomings of current models, particularly the lack of consideration for scale-dependent variability, in order to enable more accurate prediction of damage initiation and propagation in PMC structural components under impact loading. The ultimate goal is to reduce the certification timeline for advanced PMCs from 10 years to approximately 5 years, which aligns with NASA's Advanced Composite Project.
