The Ohio State University received a $380,382 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded on June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2029. This collaborative research initiative investigates the mechanics of ferroelastic crystalline-amorphous nanolaminates—composite materials engineered with nanoscale ordered (crystalline) and disordered (amorphous) phases that deform through distinct but complementary mechanisms. The research aims to develop predictive modeling frameworks by integrating phase-field microelasticity approaches for martensitic transformation in the crystalline phase with shear transformation zone-based kinetic Monte Carlo models for plasticity in the amorphous phase, enabling simulation of deformation interactions between fundamentally different material structures. The deliverables include foundational knowledge on deformation mechanisms and material interactions that will support the design of strong, mechanically stable materials capable of sustaining large deformations without catastrophic failure—critical for demanding applications in transportation, energy systems, and medical devices. The project also provides interdisciplinary training for students in mechanics, materials science, and computation, coupled with STEM outreach to K–12 students and undergraduate researchers, and commits to open dissemination of data and modeling tools to advance the nation's technological competitiveness and economic strength in advanced materials engineering.Federal Grant Award Summary
