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

Vikas Tomar oise-1132455美国-印度计划访问：促进极端环境中材料力学方面的合作此次计划访问将启动普渡大学航空航天学院教授Vikas Tomar和印度理工学院马德拉斯工程设计系教授Srikanth Vedantam在机械工程方面的合作研究。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)在高温环境下的组织演变及其对材料强度的影响。这位PI和研究生将对位于金奈的印度首屈一指的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。这项拟议的研究-高温材料的微观结构发展-是材料科学中一个具有挑战性的基本问题，可能会对材料科学的许多领域产生广泛影响。这项研究的成功完成有可能导致新的高温超导材料在高温环境下具有持续的强度。除此之外，我们的目标是开发一个预测框架和形成科学原理，这将改变材料微结构预测的科学，以便在极端环境中保持HTM的强度。此次规划访问包括一名美国研究生，这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国际理工学院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.
