9714914阿加瓦尔描述：该奖项是为了表彰美国和印度的研究合作项目--“动态载荷条件下复合材料的评估和表征”。共同研究人员是罗德岛大学的舒克拉教授和坎普尔印度理工学院的B·D·阿加瓦尔。私人投资机构将利用早些时候的一笔特别外币赠款建立的实验设施进行研究，该赠款支持在坎普尔的IIT建立一个动态应力和断裂分析实验室。该设备现在已经准备就绪，正在用于动态光弹性实验。研究的重点是进一步发展透明复合材料的制备，并对纤维增强复合材料的动态断裂和损伤扩展进行新的研究。这项实验技术将利用动态摄影和断裂术的原理。范围：该奖项将允许PI利用现已完工的坎普尔实验设施，继续开展在动态载荷条件下对复合材料进行表征的有趣工作。PI已经开发出一种独特的技术来确定复合材料的内部应变状态。这些材料正在得到越来越多的应用，其中许多将涉及动态加载。这项研究将为复合材料的研究提供新的基础信息。这是互惠互利的，研究成果将会公布。***

9714914 Agarwal Description: This award is for the US-India research collaboration "Evaluation and Characterization of Composite Materials under Dynamic Loading Conditions". The co-investigators are Professors Shukla of the University of Rhode Island and B.D. Agarwal, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur. The PIs will carry out research utilizing the experimental facilities established under an earlier Special Foreign Currency grant that supported the development of a dynamic stress and fracture analysis laboratory at IIT, Kanpur. The facility is now ready and is being used for dynamic photoelastic experiments. The focus of the research is to further developments in the fabrication of transparent composites and to conduct new investigations on the dynamic fracture and damage growth in fiber reinforced composite materials. The experimental technique will utilize the principles of dynamic photography and fractography. Scope: This award will allow the PIs to continue the interesting work begun on the characterization of composite materials under dynamic loading conditions using the now completed experimental facility at Kanpur. The PIs have developed a unique technique for determining the internal strain state of composite materials. These materials are finding increasing application, many of which will involve dynamic loading. The research will provide new fundamental information about composite materials. The benefits are mutual and the research results will be published. ***
