CANONICAL TEST FOR MAGNESIUM ALLOY

To improve lightweight metals for vehicular protection, the Metals CMRG, led by Prof. Todd Hufnagel (JHU) and Dr. Jeffrey Lloyd (DEVCOM ARL),
developed approaches to understand and control the complex failure mechanisms in magnesium alloys. Sophisticated models and experiments
indicated that the key issues in magnesium are the high degree of inherent anisotropy in the material and the nucleation and growth of voids that
drive spall. Using pre-twinning to take advantage of the anisotropy and developing processing regimes to encourage small precipitates, the CMRG
developed two new magnesium alloys with improved ballistic performance.

Summary

• Experiment: 3 mm diameter aluminum sphere impacting at 2.3 km/s on 7.4 mm thick AZ31B magnesium alloy target.

• Computational Model: Polycrystal plasticity model of spherical impact predicts anisotropy of failure observed in
computed tomography scans.

MEDE MAGNESIUM ALLOY 1: PRE-TWINNING Key Improvements

Summary • Pre-twinning improves V50 ballistic limit under fragment simulating
projectile, and APM2 armor piercing projectile impact by 13%.
• Army Relevance: Metals are typically found in vehicular armor.
• Weight reduction of 16% for the same protection compared with
• Key Mechanism: Ductile hole growth and nanovoid growth leading to AZ31B magnesium alloy.
spall is dominated by unimpeded basal slip.

• Materials-by-Design Process: Plastic deformation is profoundly
anisotropic in magnesium. Twinning can control this anisotropy.

• New Designer Materials: Pre-twinning through pre-compression
treatments impede basal slip via stable twins and basal plane realignment.

• Demonstration: Plates with pre-compression/pre-twinning exhibit 13%
increase in V50 ballistic limit.

COLLABORATING THROUGH DATA

Two complementary data management facilities have been developed Craedl manages archival data, for both the research tasks and the program
under MEDE—the MEDE Data Science Cloud (DSC) and Craedl. administration. A 10-year program with the number of personnel in the MEDE
CRA requires a tool to track key metrics such as the number of journal articles.
The MEDE DSC is structured to manage large datasets that are difficult to Craedl’s administrative functions offers this capability and provides a secure
transfer from one job to the next in its entirety. Downloading a terabyte of repository for research data that is shared across the program. Both university
data is a non-trivial adventure. Instead, in DSC the analysis is brought to the personnel and DEVCOM ARL researchers can access Craedl’s data. Craedl
data, enabling “on site” management, visualization, analysis, and machine has grown to support 50 independent research groups affiliated with the
learning building. A number of projects at DEVCOM ARL and MEDE MEDE CRA.
universities have worked with DSC to develop novel approaches to
interpreting complex data.

MEDE Capstone Event

On January 20, 2022 the MEDE CRA culminated this 10-year program with a virtual capstone event, co-hosted by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development
Command Army Research Laboratory (DEVCOM ARL) and Johns Hopkins University. More than 180 people participated in the event, including principal investigators and
students from consortium universities, Army researchers, and industry partners. Representatives from U.S. Army Futures Command, Office of the Assistant Secretary of
the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology, Office of Naval Research, National Ground Intelligence Center, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy,
and other DEVCOM subordinate organizations participated as well.

Capstone speakers included: President Ronald Daniels, Johns Hopkins University (JHU); Dr. Patrick Baker, director of DEVCOM ARL; and pre-recorded videos from
Senator Ben Cardin and Senator Christopher Van Hollen of Maryland. Major General Edmond “Miles” Brown, DEVCOM commanding general and the Professor K.T.
Ramesh of JHU were keynote speakers for the event.

A special acknowledgment to the joint capstone planning team comprised of: Jessica Ader, Bess Bieluczyk, Tammy Christenson, Joyce Karayinopulos, Dave McNally,
Victor Nakano, Darrell Roll, Keith Taylor, and Lauren Windsor.

Allied Impact

As part of the capstone event, MEDE reached out to former HEMI Artist-in-
Residence Jay Gould to create artwork representing the program. Gould, a
professor of photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art, used his
knowledge of the MEDE program to create the following:

• 600x: Consisting of 600 hand-cut photographic dots that are layered
onto glass panels, inserted into a fabricated box, this photographic
sculpture recognizes the more than 600 people that have come together
to make MEDE what it is and deliver its impact, not just toward the mission
of materials and defense, but guiding and inspiring future generations of
researchers and thinkers.

• Ability Interwoven are five physically-woven photographic pairs that combine
imagery and concepts into new formations. The physical nature of the work
was inspired by the S2 Glass/Epoxy composite materials, but the imagery
references larger concepts of the MEDE program and emphasizes the
woven material as a metaphor for the MEDE mission, which weaves
together numerous minds towards ambitious goals and results.

• A pigment and ultraviolet inkjet accordion book, IMPACT was developed
to recognize the challenges of research involving ‘extreme dynamic
environments’. This work reminds the audience of invisible impact,
the result of an enormous amount of work done by MEDE that benefits
the world, and in the more specific case of this particular book, protects
the lives of U.S. soldiers.
