The Iowa State University of Science and Technology (ISU) was awarded a two-year, $134,010 Project Grant from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command to develop a system for studying materials under high pressure, strain rates, and large deformations. The grant is part of the Basic Scientific Research program administered by the agency under the CFDA 12.431 program, which supports basic research related to improving Army programs and operations. Through this funding, ISU will create an experimental system and conduct materials research to subject samples to extreme conditions simulating impacts and develop a deeper understanding of material behavior under such duress. This research could potentially inform the development of armor and impact-resistant materials critical to military ground vehicles and equipment.
