This Project Grant award of $235,662 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to accelerate the design of high-performance copper alloys and testing protocols for the extreme dynamic conditions encountered in Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) technology. Led by Lehigh University, the project will integrate multidisciplinary research across materials science, materials informatics, mechanics, aerodynamics, and combustion to address the critical materials barrier hindering RDE deployment. The award will support a collaborative effort with industry and the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop innovative material solutions capable of withstanding the extreme thermomechanical loadings associated with detonation processes in RDE systems. Key project activities include organizing workshops and conferences with academic, government, and industry participants, as well as educational and outreach initiatives for undergraduate students and K-12 audiences.
