Claim:
1. A method of designing and manufacturing microstructures within a structure comprising: defining a structure assembly comprising a plurality of sections including a first structure; defining a first loading force with a predetermined orientation to a selected location or portion of the structure assembly comprising the first structure; defining or determining a desired shock induced deformation structural result or force loading structural response in the first structure with respect to the structure assembly; determining at least one plurality of first microstructures in said first structure at said selected location or portion of the first structure that produce said shock induced deformation structural result or said force loading structural response after application of said first loading force, said shock induced structural deformation structural result or force loading structural response comprising a direction of material flow within said first structure having said at least one plurality of first microstructures that is produced upon application of said first force loading; wherein said first microstructures are formed having a microstructure orientation that will either increase or decrease resistance to deformation at the selected location or portion caused by application of the first force loading at the predetermined orientation at the selected location or portion of the first structure, wherein said first microstructures comprises an elongated or stretched grain shape and microstructure orientation at the selected location or portion relative to the first force loading, wherein required microstructures at the selected location or portion comprises an elongation or stretching of the first structure's material grains in the selected location or portion of the first structure where the elongation or stretching of the material grain is produced to align with an alteration plane that is defined by a predetermined angle with respect to a vector of the first force loading at said selected location or portion of the structure; and manufacturing said first structure with manufacturing-derived microstructures comprising said first microstructures by pressing or rolling the first structure at said selected location or portion of the first structure to produce the elongation or stretching of the material grain at said predetermined angle, wherein said first structure thereby produced comprises said first microstructures having said grains elongated into narrow bands aligned with the direction of material flow produced in response to the first force loading and the first force loading direction.
