Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00508, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Hogan, James (University of Alberta), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Alberta, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Martec Limited is a Halifax-based engineering consulting company. Martec's computational system, Trident, is_x000D_
used to analyse components for naval ships and the response of these systems to blast, underwater shock and_x000D_
impact events. The proposed NSERC Engage grant focuses on the numerical model for materials widely used_x000D_
in naval vessels. The computational models used to describe the behaviour of the materials require mechanical_x000D_
properties determined through fundamental experiments. In addition to these material parameters, these_x000D_
experiments also provide insights into material failure, which are crucial to the development of the numerical_x000D_
models. In this proposal, we are requesting funds to support a study of the dynamic compression of naval steel_x000D_
(HY80) that will yield both mechanical property and failure information that will be applied to develop and_x000D_
validate computational models utilized at Martec in their analyses. We will accomplish this objective through a_x000D_
series of testing and characterization, and application of results. These tasks are primarily being completed by_x000D_
an MSc student, for which funding is being requested for his salary and experimental activities. Through this_x000D_
research, we will develop a robust framework for understanding and assessing the failure of the materials used_x000D_
in naval structures. Our ability to understand and predict failure through the use of numerical simulations will_x000D_
ultimately result in the development of improved materials and protection products by Martec and Canadian_x000D_
partners. This submission builds off a relationship developed during a visit to Martec in February 2017, which_x000D_
was supported by a Connect Grant., program purpose french : Martec Limited is a Halifax-based engineering consulting company. Martec's computational system, Trident, is_x000D_
