The research objective of this award is to investigate the mechanical response of a new class of nanolayered ceramics (MAX phases) and their solid solutions in extreme dynamic loading conditions through a combination of experimental approaches. MAX phases have attracted considerable attention as potential multifunctional materials for extreme environments since they combine some of the best attributes of ceramics and metals. Preliminary work on MAX phases suggests that new underlying physical mechanisms that can make ceramic materials resistant to dynamic loadings are yet to be discovered and fully explored. Studies conducted under this award will elucidate the physical mechanisms of deformation and damage in the MAX phases, and address fundamental questions regarding the constitutive behavior of the MAX phases under dynamic loading conditions as a function of temperature and to what extent our understanding of deformation and failure mechanisms of the MAX phases in quasi-static conditions can be extended to the extremely high deformation rates. From the technological point of view, successful completion of this project will result in a deeper understanding of the connections between composition, structure and mechanical properties in this novel class of materials for extreme service conditions, enabling further developments in power generation, hypersonic and orbital re-entry flights, ballistic protection, etc. The educational and outreach plan focus on a series of activities, including: building a strong integrated research, educational and outreach collaboration between Texas A&M and University of Rhode Island focused on mechanical behavior of novel ceramics under extreme loading conditions; mentoring and training the next generation of experts in the areas of experimental mechanics and materials science of ceramics materials; and linking undergraduate and graduate students? research experiences to their education through their close involvement in research during coursework, research projects, and thesis research.

该奖项的研究目标是通过实验方法的组合，研究一类新的纳米层状陶瓷（MAX相）及其固溶体在极端动态载荷条件下的机械响应。MAX相作为极端环境下潜在的多功能材料引起了相当大的关注，因为它们联合收割机了陶瓷和金属的一些最佳属性。MAX阶段的初步工作表明，新的潜在的物理机制，可以使陶瓷材料抵抗动态载荷尚未被发现和充分探索。根据该奖项进行的研究将阐明MAX阶段变形和损坏的物理机制，并解决有关动态加载条件下MAX阶段的本构行为作为温度的函数的基本问题，以及我们对准静态条件下MAX阶段变形和失效机制的理解可以扩展到极高的变形率。从技术角度来看，该项目的成功完成将使人们更深入地了解这类新型材料在极端使用条件下的成分、结构和机械性能之间的联系，从而进一步发展发电、高超音速和轨道再入飞行、弹道防护等。在德克萨斯A M大学和罗得岛大学之间建立一个强大的综合研究，教育和推广合作&，重点是极端负载条件下新型陶瓷的机械行为;指导和培训下一代陶瓷材料的实验力学和材料科学领域的专家;并连接本科生和研究生？通过他们在课程，研究项目和论文研究期间密切参与研究，研究经验，他们的教育。
