The University of Illinois received a $135,532 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation to support research titled "EAGER: INTEGRATING FRACTURE NUCLEATION AND PROPAGATION INTO OPTIMIZATION: TOWARDS MATERIALS WITH OPTIMAL FRACTURE PROPERTIES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 falls under the NSF Directorate for Engineering's CFDA #47.041 Engineering program, which supports innovation and excellence in engineering research. Specifically, the University will conduct research integrating fracture nucleation and propagation modeling into materials optimization methods, with the goal of developing materials with optimal fracture resistance. The place of performance for this research is the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois.
