President And Board Of Trustees Of Santa Clara College was awarded a $249,829 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) on June 1, 2023 to establish a data-driven approach for the discovery and optimization of additively manufacturable mechanical metamaterials. Through this funding, the university will develop computational methods using artificial intelligence to co-design the geometry and properties of aperiodic cellular materials for applications in areas such as ultra-light energy devices and shape-morphing soft robotics. Key activities include extending the theoretical limits of mechanical property spaces for aperiodic architected cellular materials, elucidating geometry-property relationships to enable data-driven inverse material design, and ensuring compatibility with additive manufacturing constraints. This research aims to advance fundamental understanding of novel architected material design and development considerations regarding intrinsic structure, manufacturing capabilities, and resulting material properties.
