 | The purpose of this research is to simulate and test nanomaterial reinforced composites for potential applications in Army vehicles, especially for improved ballistic and blast protection. The resultant simulation and design system can address major concerns in functional requirements of nanomaterials in Army's ground vehicles such as strength, durability, ballistic and blast impact resistance. An important part of this research is to develop a comprehensive modeling tool to predict nano-composite ... |

| The objective of this research is to develop a modeling, simulation, and design tool for nanocomposites in order to predict, with accepted fidelity, nano-composite behaviors; and to design optimum nanocomposites for specific Army applications such as ballistic protection. Based on a unit cell model created for nanoclay-epoxy composites, the effect of nanoparticle distribution on the maximum stress developed in epoxy resin was investigated using the Meshfree Particle Method based simulation ... |

| An advanced design methodology is developed for innovative composite structure concepts which can be used in the Army's future ground vehicle systems to protect vehicle and occupants against various explosives. The multi-level and multi-scenario blast simulation and design system integrates three major technologies: a newly developed landmine-soil composite interaction model; an advanced design methodology, called Function-Oriented Material Design (FOMD); and a novel patent-pending composite material concept, called BTR (Biomimetic Tendon-Reinforced) ... |
