Artificial neural network learning will be used to study the influence material sequence in FG structures with different geometries that will be designed for enhanced energy absorption and resistance to damage under various forms of ballistic loading conditions. New materials in form of metallic glass will be developed as coatings from protection against degradation through wear and corrosion damage., description french : nan, expected results english : Reduce the weight and cumbersomeness of personnel protection equipment and increase the specific strength of armour material for Solution Readiness Level 2 to 6; advance high-strength materials in the form of NS and HE alloys to improve the resistance to damage from high-velocity ballistics, shrapnel projectiles and wear and corrosion damage., expected results french : nan, additional information english : The Micro-net is composed of three (3) Principal Investigators from University of Manitoba, Red River College and Precision ADM and four (4) Co-Investigators (two (2) from University of Manitoba and two (2) from University of Saskatchewan).
