The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) a $461,594 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA #47.049) program. The 3-year grant, running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will support research to advance the understanding of polymer gels, an important class of materials used in a variety of health, industrial, and defense applications. The project aims to correlate spatiotemporal fluctuations of individual polymer...
This $566,954 National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) grant will support fundamental research by Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to improve understanding of fiber bundle failure mechanics for ultra-high reliability applications. The principal objectives are to: 1) understand how interactions between fibers determine a bundle's stress-strain response through deformation to fracture, and 2) identify the key driving mechanics leading to bundle failure. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering awarded a $149,999 EAGER/Collaborative Research grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University. The grant, under CFDA Program 47.041 Engineering, supports research at the intersection of structural mechanics and network theory. The project aims to develop a network-theoretic framework to study "switching structures" - load-bearing systems made of bars...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $150,000 EAGER/Collaborative Research grant to New York University (NYU) under the NSF Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041). The project will support research at the intersection of structural mechanics and network theory, exploring "switching structures" - load-bearing systems with dynamically switchable components. The objective is to establish a network-theoretic framework to study the stability and response of these structures, with...

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) was awarded a $352,903 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering (47.041) program to develop a new theoretical and simulation approach for understanding the packing structures of soft, self-adjusting objects. Through this three-year award ending June 2026, RPI will use coarse-grained computer modeling to test the hypothesis that packing structures are determined more by particle surface area than volume fraction. The models will...
