Georgia Southern University Research & Service Foundation Inc. received a $199,694 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The award will fund research to develop non-destructive, video-based vibrometry techniques for in-situ evaluation of bio-printed constructs. Specifically, the grantee will identify composite damage metrics incorporating vibration features to detect dimensional and embedded defects during additive manufacturing. They will also establish numerical models analyzing how defects affect bio-construct modal properties and identify dynamic properties of bioprinting materials via video-based vibrometry. Successful development of these non-contact evaluation methods could significantly improve structural integrity for bio-additive manufacturing applications like tissue engineering. The research also aims to stimulate student interest in biomanufacturing fields and support workforce development.
