Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. received a $200,000 Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CFDA 47.041) awarded May 1, 2026, with a completion date of April 30, 2028. The project delivers fundamental research and mechanistic insights into controlling three-dimensional particle dispersion during directed energy deposition (DED) manufacturing of ceramic particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs). The primary deliverable is a mechanism-guided framework for achieving uniform ceramic reinforcement particle distribution in DED processes, addressing a critical scientific challenge that currently limits the structural reliability of additively manufactured MMCs used in aerospace, energy, and defense applications. The grant also funds workforce development and educational integration activities aligned with NSF Engineering program priorities. These include research involvement for undergraduate and graduate students, integration of additive manufacturing experiments into engineering curricula, and K-12 outreach programming to build the advanced manufacturing workforce. The research will advance U.S. capability in high-performance composite material production while strengthening the scientific foundation of additive manufacturing technology across critical national industries.Federal Grant Award Summary
