Abstract:
As a part of its Survivability and Protective Structures research area, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is conducting several parallel research initiatives focused on the development of new protective capabilities which meet warfighter operational constraints and provide protection from emerging and increasingly severe threats. Utilizing a combination of micro and macroscale material research, advanced computational methods, and physical experimentation to validate protective structural systems, ERDC is providing advanced solutions to warfighter needs. This paper presents ERDC's research efforts in multiscale material development and characterization, advanced computational methods for high deformation/ high-strain rate events, and lightweight, low logistics protective structural systems.
