• General questions should be asked during open session

• Process

• Teams of proposers interested in meeting should assemble directly after this presentation ends.

• A list of interested teams will be compiled.

• Teams will be randomly assigned a meeting time

• The length of time that each team receives depends on the number of teams that want to meet.

PAYOFF TECHNICAL IDEAS

MOTIVATION MATERIALS DESIGN

• Integrated computational materials engineering for responsive virtual material design exploration

• Link matl requirements to systems requirements

• Systems engineering for composite matl design links processing, mfg, performance & sustainment

• Open architecture digital framework for material design & engineering

• Link industry, commercial, academic & other available computer codes & designer knowledge bases

• Virtual material design = time/cost savings

• 45-55% cost savings versus SOTA approach

• Time reduction in material development & insertion from 8-14 years to 2-4 years

• Accelerates matl design/development/test cycle

• Enables adaptable material designs to respond to changing environments or operations

• Uncertain futures & threats outpace our ability to create & field affordable, effective systems

• Design & validation hindered by lack of virtual representation of materials—limited adaptability

• Need a systems engineering approach to accelerate materials development and insertion

• Opening the materials design space requires integrated synthesis, analysis & design tools

What we are looking for

• Approach for linking design phases (ICME architecture framework)

• Assessment of the SOA

• Articulation of the benefits of the proposed approach over SOA

• Sufficiently focused such that it can be accomplished within available funds and schedule

• Engagement of M&P, Structures, and Design communities

• Must include participation by airframe and engine design authority

• Must articulate planned participation

• Target component(s) defined by proposers

• Traceable Rough order of Magnitude (ROM) potential cost savings and Return on Investment (ROI) to USAF systems

• Key feature articles

• Based on target component(s)

• At least yearly

• Intended to show program progress

• Utilize mature structural high temperature polymer composite system

• bismaleimide and/or polyimide

• Designer quality information via traditional approaches is available

• Focus on use of existing models

• Should not develop new models

• Can mature models if needed

• Plan to capture lessons learned

• Identify and document outstanding pervasive ICME needs

• Openness of work

• The general ICME approach employed and results of the demonstration(s) should be amenable to open presentation through public forums

• Developed approach for framework should be available
