The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $200,627 project grant to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization, to conduct research on understanding fracture mechanics in additively manufactured functionally graded microcellular solids. The objectives of this 3-year research project are to: (1) demonstrate the production of different microcellular structures using additive manufacturing, (2) experimentally and computationally characterize their constitutive response, (3) develop a multiscale approach to predict their mixed-mode fracture behavior, and (4) provide guidelines on how to configure cell patterns near stress concentrations. This research aims to advance the fields of fracture mechanics, composite structures, and additive manufacturing, and will also engage graduate, undergraduate, and K-12 students in educational and outreach activities.
