Arizona State University's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration received a $419,551 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) for collaborative research on the mechanics of ferroelastic crystalline-amorphous nanolaminates. Awarded June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2029, this research project develops advanced composite materials combining nanoscale crystalline (ordered atomic arrangement) and amorphous (disordered atomic arrangement) phases designed to achieve exceptional strength while resisting catastrophic failure. The research addresses a critical challenge in advanced materials engineering: the tendency of extremely strong materials to fail suddenly due to highly localized deformation, which currently limits their reliability in transportation, energy systems, and medical devices. The project delivers fundamental research outputs through development of predictive modeling frameworks integrating phase-field microelasticity approaches for martensitic transformation in crystalline phases with shear transformation zone-based kinetic Monte Carlo models for plasticity in amorphous phases. These coupled computational frameworks enable simulation of phase interactions to elucidate deformation mechanisms and overall mechanical behavior of nanocomposites capable of sustaining large deformations. Additional project deliverables include interdisciplinary training for students in mechanics, materials science, and computation; undergraduate research opportunities; K-12 STEM outreach; and open dissemination of data and modeling tools to advance the nation's technological competitiveness in materials science.Federal Grant Award Summary
