This National Science Foundation (NSF) Cooperative Agreement award for $1,177,447.00, under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, will support the development and validation of a fractional calculus-based simulation framework to perform material degradation analysis of complex aerospace structural systems. The project aims to enable faster design cycles, less expensive maintenance operations, and improved safety and durability of aerospace structural systems by providing critical predictive tools to the aerospace industry. The award recipient, M3Sim LLC, will focus on advancing theoretical and computational technology, integrating it into production-grade software, and validating the framework across multiple material systems and damage scenarios of practical aerospace relevance. The project has broader impacts in areas such as enhancing modeling capabilities for drug delivery, disease spread, climate events, and infrastructure systems. The award period is from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
