Description

DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of adaptive, high performance military systems. As the demands on military platforms and buildings increase, so does the need for materials that can mitigate the shock and vibrations applied by dynamic environments. Today’s materials exhibit limited adaptability and typically achieve only extreme stiffness. The Material Logic program seeks to enable material systems that adapt to varying loads and simultaneously exhibit both high stiffness and high damping. By demonstrating the ability to combine stiffness, damping, and adaptive dynamic range in a single material, the Material Logic program will enable the design of military platforms, and buildings with the ability to continually change their properties to match the demands of an ever evolving environment.
