CAREER: Mechanics of Densification and Development of Residual Stresses in Heterogeneous Powder Mixtures with Application to Functionally Gradient Materials

9624698 Zavaliangos这个职业发展奖的目的是研究致密化的力学和非均匀粉末混合物中残余应力的发展。 重点将放在功能梯度材料的设计和制造上，这些材料构成了一类新的复合材料，允许性能的空间优化，因为它们的特点是在复合材料的组成中存在显着的变化。 除了课程和实验室开发和推广活动的教学活动，教育计划涉及材料工程课程的互动，媒体丰富的计算机辅助教学模块的发展。 此外，还打算建立可通过计算机网络远程控制的实验设施的原型范例。 ***

9624698 Zavaliangos The objective of this CAREER development award are to study the mechanics of densification and the development of residual stresses in heterogeneous powder mixtures. Emphasis will be placed on the design and manufacture of functionally gradient materials which constitute a new class of composites that allow spatial optimization of properties because they are characterized by a significant variation in composition across a composite. Beyond instructional activities of course and laboratory development and outreach activities, the educational plan involves the development of interactive, media rich computer- aided instruction modules for materials engineering courses. In addition, it is also intended to establish prototype paradigms of experimental facilities that can be remotely controlled over a computer network. ***
