NSF-DFG: Additive manufacturing of metallic programmable metamaterials with superior fatigue properties

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Christoph Eberl, since 8/2024
• Subject Area: Mechanical Properties of Metallic Materials and their Microstructural Origins ; Primary Shaping and Reshaping Technology, Additive Manufacturing
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 515116761

The objective of this project is to apply additive manufacturing methods to fabricate metallic programmable mechanical metamaterials (PMM) and understand the influence of hierarchical design and microstructures of materials on the fatigue resistance of such metamaterials. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop an integrated experimental and modeling platform that significantly improve our understanding on the fundamental mechanisms associated with the fatigue resistance of metallic programmable mechanical metamaterials (PMM) for various applications.
