Catalyzing US-India Collaboration: Mechanics of Materials in Extreme Environments

Vikas托马尔OISE- 1132455美国-印度计划访问：此次计划访问将启动普渡大学航空航天学院Vikas托马尔教授和印度马德拉斯理工学院（IITM）工程设计系Srikanth Vedantam教授之间的机械工程合作研究。 研究的重点是开发一种基于模型的方法来预测高温材料（HTM）的微观结构演变及其对高温环境下材料强度的影响。 PI和研究生将对印度钦奈的首要IITM进行为期两周的访问，以完成印度工厂的初步计算，为向CMMI的材料和表面工程计划或DMR的材料世界网络计划提交研究提案做准备。 拟议的研究-高温材料的微观结构发展-是材料科学中具有挑战性的基本问题，可能对材料科学的许多领域产生广泛的影响。 这项研究的成功完成有可能导致新的HTMs在高温环境中具有持续的强度。 除此之外，我们的目标是开发一个预测框架和科学原理的形成，这将改变材料微观结构预测的科学，以在极端环境中保持HTM强度。 在这次规划访问中包括一名美国研究生，为与国际调查人员进行研究提供了一个独特的机会，并有助于普渡大学与印度金奈IITM之间合作的可持续性。

Vikas Tomar OISE- 1132455 U.S.-India Planning Visit: Catalyzing Collaboration on the Mechanics of Materials in Extreme Environments This planning visit will initiate collaborative research in mechanical engineering between Purdue University Professor Vikas Tomar, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) Professor Srikanth Vedantam, Department of Engineering Design. The focus of the research is to develop a modeling based approach to predicting high temperature material (HTM) microstructure evolution and its effect on material strength in high temperature environments. The PI and graduate student will undertake a two-week visit to India's premier IITM in Chennai to finalize preliminary calculations at the Indian facility in preparation for submitting a research proposal to either CMMI's Materials and Surface Engineering Program or DMR's Materials World Network Program. The proposed research- microstructural development in high temperature materials- is a challenging and fundamental problem in materials science that could have broad impact on many areas in the materials sciences. Successful completion of the research has potential to lead to new HTMs with sustained strength in high temperature environments. Beyond this, the goal is to develop a predictive framework and formation of scientific principles that will transform the science of material microstructure prediction for sustained HTM strength in extreme environments. The inclusion of a US graduate student in this planning visit offers a unique opportunity to conduct research with international investigators and contributes to the sustainability of collaboration between Purdue and the IITM in Chennai, India.
