The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $666,664 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) to conduct collaborative research on "Structural Alloys for Fatigue Endurance (SAFE)". The project aims to develop a data-driven approach to understand the relationship between defects, microstructure, and the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured structural alloys. The research will create an integrated database and knowledge map of material and processing parameters, microstructure, mechanical characterization, and computational experiments to enable the development of new structural alloys with enhanced fatigue resistance. The project period runs from September 15, 2025 to August 31, 2029 and is a collaborative effort between CWRU and other research institutions. The goal is to advance scientific knowledge and develop innovative solutions to address the critical challenge of fatigue failure in engineering structures and devices.
