Description

Data-Driven Design for 3D Printed Materials with Tailored Fracture Response. Fracture is the main source of material failure and may cause serious engineering disasters and even death. This project aims to develop a Data-Driven Design System that intelligently optimizes local materials and architectures for heterogeneous structures with desired fracture response, and enhancing their mechanical fracture properties including stiffness, strength, toughness, and failure displacement. It will open up a new and promising research field in mechanics and data-driven science that deals with intractable inverse problems in broad engineering fields. Economic, high-performance, and customized 3D printed structural materials will be generated to benefit national corporations and enterprises and meet the high-end industry needs.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4017 - Mechanical Engineering. Lead: Dr Daicong Da
