The main goal of the proposed work is for The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to partner with the Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems (NGAS) on research to examine the high temperature and multiaxial response of aerospace materials that may include high temperature ceramic materials, high temperature elastomeric polymer materials, and/or advanced aerospace composite materials. The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will perform mechanical characterization of these material using biaxial, tension, compression, three point bend and/or four point bend experiments that incorporate stereo digital image correlation (DIC) for strain mapping. UTEP will integrate the NGAS DIC system with stereo thermal imaging with a biaxial testing system provided by NGAS.
