Architectured materials consist of two or more constituent materials and empty space arranged in and ordered assembly. These materials have properties not offered by any one material alone. One class of relevant materials is that of lattice materials where periodic assemblies of slender material elements make up the material's internal structure. When subjected to mechanical loads, these materials can respond in extremely complex and highly nonlinear ways. The response often includes buckling of the microstructure elements. During this instability the microstructure changes from one configuration to another. This award supports fundamental research to generate the knowledge necessary to understand and design architectured materials with desirable types of microlevel buckling behavior. These materials would be switchable between many different buckled states, and each state would have its own properties that could be tailored for specific applications. Such materials would have many applications ranging from vibration control in aerospace structures with multiple flight regimes to multi-function sensors where, for example, one material state would sense changes in magnetic field, another changes in temperature, and a third changes in mechanical load. The research project will train graduate and undergraduate students in the emerging science of architectured materials and the mechanics of buckling and instabilities. It will also encourage participation of underrepresented groups in research and engineering through the incorporation of research results in graduate and undergraduate courses at the University of Minnesota, and through interaction with K-12 faculty and students.The project will research the fundamental issue of post-buckling behavior in periodic architectured materials. Research will be conducted on the nonlinear mathematical modeling and characterization of buckling and instabilities in the microstructure of architectured materials; on the high-performance computational simulation of these complex materials; and on understanding how the behavior of these materials is affected by the presence of imperfections in their constituent materials and/or their manufacture. The research will employ the mathematical theories of bifurcation and symmetry groups to understand the complex buckling mechanisms that occur in periodic architectured materials. It will use these mathematical tools to explore and create computational algorithms for efficiently and systematically mapping out the rich set of states and buckling behavior associated with these materials. The research will also study how a periodic architectured material's buckling behavior depends on its periodic unit cell properties such as size, shape, lattice geometry, and constituent material properties.

架构材料由两种或多种组成材料和排列和有序组装的空空间组成。 这些材料具有仅任何一种材料提供的特性。 一类相关的材料是晶格材料，其中细长的材料元素的定期组件构成了材料的内部结构。 当承受机械载荷时，这些材料可以以极其复杂且高度非线性的方式做出反应。 响应通常包括微观结构元素的屈曲。 在这种不稳定性期间，微结构从一种配置变为另一种配置。 该奖项支持基础研究，以产生了解和设计具有理想类型的微功能屈曲行为的构建材料所需的知识。 这些材料将在许多不同的外壳状态之间转换，并且每个州都有自己的特性，可以针对特定应用程序量身定制。 这样的材料将具有许多应用程序，从具有多个飞行机制的航空航天结构中的振动控制到多功能传感器，例如，一种物质状态会感觉到磁场的变化，温度的另一种变化以及机械负载的第三个变化。 该研究项目将培训新兴材料科学的毕业生和本科生，以及屈曲和不稳定性的机制。 它还将通过在明尼苏达大学的研究生和本科课程中纳入研究成果，并通过与K-12教职员工的互动和学生进行互动，从而鼓励代表性不足的群体参与研究和工程。 将对构建材料的微观结构中的屈曲和不稳定性的非线性数学建模和表征进行研究；关于这些复杂材料的高性能计算模拟；并了解这些材料的行为如何受到其组成材料和/或其制造中缺陷的影响。 该研究将采用分叉和对称组的数学理论来了解周期性构造材料中发生的复杂屈曲机制。 它将使用这些数学工具来探索和创建计算算法，以有效，系统地绘制与这些材料相关的丰富状态和屈曲行为。 该研究还将研究周期性架构材料的屈曲行为如何取决于其周期性单元细胞的特性，例如大小，形状，晶格几何和成分材料特性。
