The constitutive\nproperties of aluminum based intermetallic forming systems will be studied to\nquantify the physics of the deformation and fragmentation processes and the\nsubsequent effect on reaction initiation.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EParticular emphasis will be placed on the influence of\nmicrostructure morphology and composition.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe proposed research will utilize a variety of experiments\nincluding Hopkinson Bar impact and explosive fragmentation to understand the\nconstitutive and fragmentation behavior of various material systems. These\nexperiments will be utilized to inform and confirm a series of mesoscale\nsimulations that will directly investigate the impact of microstructure\nmorphology and composition on the formation of fragments and the reactivity of\nthese systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe constitutive and fragmentation behavior is the key to\nthe application of structural energetic materials to safer and more effective\nmunitions.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EUsing structural energetic materials will permit the\ncreation of more efficient and safer munitions.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EProposal Title: Fragmentation and Reaction of Structural\nEnergetic Materials\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Brady Aydelotte - PhD Proposal Defense"}],"uid":"27388","created_gmt":"2010-11-12 13:39:11","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:53:28","author":"Bill Miller","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-11-18T08:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2010-11-18T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-11-18T10:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-11-18 13:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-11-18 15:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-11-18 15:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1238","name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"10802","name":"MSE_Interal_Event"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:bradya@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ebradya@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
