"Thriving While Detonating – Materials for Extreme Dynamic Thermomechanical Performance," a multidisciplinary project supported by a new $2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, is being led by Natasha Vermaak, associate professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics. Vermaak and collaborators from Carnegie Mellon University and University of California, Irvine will investigate the development of structural materials systems that are resistant to high-frequency, high-amplitude thermomechanical loads for propulsion and power applications with a focus on rotating detonation engines.
The team was one of 25 to receive NSF funding as part of the organization’s Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (DMREF) program.
