The National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research awarded the University of Wisconsin System's Office of Sponsored Programs (doing business as University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee) $361,058 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The award funds a CAREER project investigating neighborhood driving forces for fatigue crack propagation at the microstructural scale. The research combines high-energy X-ray methods to observe metal deformation and failure, computational modeling of material response to repeated stress at microscopic scales, and machine learning tools to identify complex patterns in material behavior. The work aims to advance understanding of crack initiation and propagation in structural metals used in transportation, manufacturing, energy, and health sectors. The project includes workforce development and educational components: hands-on training for graduate and undergraduate researchers in experimental techniques, modeling, and data analysis; modernization of university courses; and outreach programs delivering "crushing device" demonstrations to middle and high school classrooms in Milwaukee and neighboring communities. Performance period runs through July 31, 2031, with work conducted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
