The University of Alabama in Huntsville 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) for the period June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2028. The project develops a mechanism-based constitutive modeling framework to characterize deformation instabilities associated with dynamic strain aging in metallic systems with different crystal structures—specifically face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) metals. The research combines experimental data analysis, atomistic simulations, and continuum modeling to quantify key physical parameters including solute diffusion rates, dislocation-solute interaction energies, and temperature-dependent dislocation mobility. The deliverables include fundamental knowledge advancing understanding of how crystal structure affects dynamic strain aging and mechanical response, enabling improved engineering design of structural materials for critical infrastructure, transportation, and energy systems. The project integrates educational and workforce development components through support for undergraduate and graduate student training in mechanics of materials, combining computational modeling with experimental analysis, and includes outreach activities in science and engineering to advance national STEM priorities.Federal Grant Award Summary
