Projects
NCAL's projects are designed to fulfill the mission of NCAL: to develop next-generation mechanical and physical measurement tools to generate data that will facilitate the US Auto Industry's incorporation of next-generation advanced lightweight materials into vehicles.
Each has benefited from an injection of $2.5 million in equipment acquisitions under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), including the Next-Generation Metal Formability Cruciform System and new High Rate Material Testing Facility.
Lightweighting Projects:
- Performance of Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Polymers
- Deformation and Fracture in Gen3 Steels
- Crystal Plasticity Modeling of Yield Surface Evolution
- Yield Surface Measurement
- Cruciform Multiaxial Mechanical Testing
- Marciniak Multiaxial Testing
- Tension-Compression Testing
- High Rate Testing
- X-ray Stress Measurement
- Neutron Stress Measurement
- Uniaxial Tension Beyond Necking
