Dr. Sangid's group teams with HRL to provide a pathway towards the rapid qualification of AM components through integration of in situ process monitoring, process modeling, and performance modeling. The ACME2 group will lead the microstructural based lifing assessments of components.
Integrating materials solutions with design, analysis, manufacturing, inspection, and in-service usage. Structural aerospace components are made of materials like high-temperature alloys, lightweight alloys, fiber-reinforced composites, and ultra-high-temperature ceramic-based composites.
A consortium of institutions has joined with Argonne to build a new X-ray diffraction instrument for users of the APS, one that will enable materials research and clear the way for improvements in advance of the APS Upgrade.
Purdue University will expand its hub of hypersonics research with the addition of a center focused on developing high-temperature materials and creating new manufacturing processes to build and join these materials, which will extend hypersonic vehicles’ capabilities and apply to other industries.
In addition to being called the "Cradle of Astronauts," Purdue University could also be the cradle of hypersonics, with its history of wind tunnel expertise preceding the opening of a new facility.
Fatigue crack intitiation,a predominant failure mechanism in many structural materials, is currently mitigated by large scale testing programs and conservative design practices.
Lengthy space missions, such as the human journey to mars,or permanent state outposts like the International Space Station require new materials, manufacturing processes, and continuous reliability assessment methods. Michael Sangid, CHESS user and Elmer Bruhn Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University, employs the unique tools at CHESS to manipulate his samples under thermal and mechanical loading, particularly at the FAST beamline.
Researchers at Purdue are studying the behavior of additively manufactured (otherwise known as 3D-printed) materials, thanks to the powerful capabilities offered by the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing (RCAC)’s Negishi cluster.
Michael Sangid from Purdue University discusses how a new multimillion research center will accelerate the development of hypersonic air vehicles in the USA.
Meet Alexandra!She is an Aerospace Engineering student at San Diego State University and spent her Summer 2016 semester at Purdue as part of the Pathways program.
SURF is Purdue University's premiere Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. More than 100 students across engineering, science, and technology disciplines are given 11 weeks of financial support to focus on research for the summer while being mentored by both a faculty member and graduate student.
By model year 2025, U.S. regulations mandate that the average fuel economy standard meets 54.5 miles per gallon, a 60 percent improvement over the 35.5 mpg required of vehicles now.
