About the Research
Develop new experimental techniques to improve the understanding of material response at the nano- and microstructural levels during high loading rates. Track and validate multiscale deformation mechanisms in primarily polymeric materials, multilayer polymer composite materials, and polymer nanofibers. Employ mechanophore-based stress‑field measurements and digital image correlation methods.

Program OverviewThe Weapons and Materials Research Directorate (WMRD) aims to enhance the lethality and survivability of weapons systems and to meet soldiers’ technology needs for advanced weaponry and protection. Research is pursued in energetic materials dynamics, propulsion/flight physics, projectile warhead mechanics, terminal effects phenomena, armor/survivability technologies, environmental chemistry, and advanced materials (energetic, metals, ceramics, polymers, composites/hybrids, and mechanics) applicable to armor, armament, missiles, ground vehicles, helicopters, and individual soldier applications.
