Grant Award Summary The University of Cincinnati's Sponsored Research Services Division received a $337,949 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2029. This research initiative will develop a comprehensive theoretical framework and numerical implementation for electromagneto-thermomechanical coupling in conductive solids. The project deliverables include formulation of a fully coupled theory integrating eddy-current electromagnetism, large-deformation thermo-visco-plasticity of metals, and heat transport mechanisms (including Joule heating and plastic dissipation), with rigorous finite-element simulation capabilities implemented in the open-source FEnicsx platform. The research addresses critical gaps in predictive modeling for advanced engineering applications in transportation, manufacturing, and defense sectors, with direct relevance to national-priority areas including nuclear fusion reactor design and advanced electromagnetic forming processes. Beyond theoretical and computational outputs, the project will provide interdisciplinary graduate-level training integrating electromagnetism, solid mechanics, and numerical simulation, thereby building workforce capacity in these strategically important technology domains.
