KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Dec. 15, 2020 \u2013 Three Rhode Island companies will soon benefit from faculty expertise at the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Engineering<\/a> as part of the 401 Tech Bridge Materials Innovation Challenge<\/a>. Canapitsit Customs and TxV Aerospace Composites, both of Bristol,<\/strong> and Nautilus Defense, a Pawtucket<\/strong>-based small business, were selected as challenge winners from applicants across the country, enabling them to leverage the University\u2019s academic resources and to work with three preeminent advanced materials researchers.<\/p>\n

溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Simon Ostrach Professor of Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering Arun Shukla and Helio Matos, assistant professor of Mechanical, Industrial and Systems Engineering and their Dynamic Photomechanics Laboratory<\/a>, and Sumanta Das, 溏心vlog免费B站 assistant professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, who \"\"<\/a>leads the Multiscale & Multiphysics Mechanics of Materials Research Laboratory<\/a>, will collaborate with the winners, offering modeling, research, testing and validation assistance and support to accelerate the development of advanced materials and technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the collaboration between our laboratories, synergistic application of experiments and computational modeling in these projects will accelerate the design and development of transformative high-performance composite materials for multifunctional applications,\u201d said Professor Shukla.<\/p>\n

溏心vlog免费B站 engineering students also stand to benefit as part of the Challenge. Working under the guidance of Professors Shukla, Matos and Das, students will gain valuable hands-on experience in their chosen fields on real-world projects. The projects will allow students to interact with industry professionals as they attempt to solve the challenges presented by the Challenge-winning companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis also provides an excellent opportunity for faculty and students at 溏心vlog免费B站 to get involved with applied research projects and help the local industry,\u201d Shukla added.<\/p>\n

401 Tech Bridge<\/a> is an economic development organization that connects manufacturers, small businesses, research and development entities, trade organizations and state and defense agencies to collaborate in the development of new advanced materials, technologies and products. The Materials Innovation Challenge was formed to help give smaller companies a leg up, realizing that while large companies have internal research and development labs, smaller organizations in the advanced materials sector do not.<\/p>\n

\u201c401 Tech Bridge is excited to further the innovative work of Canapitsit Customs LLC, Nautilus Defense and TxV Aerospace Composites by connecting them to 溏心vlog免费B站, which is known nationally for its advanced materials research,\u201d said Mary Johnson, manager, 401 Tech Bridge. \u201cThe Materials Innovation Challenge helps these companies enhance their internal R&D capabilities with support from the University, creating new solutions and business opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canapitsit Customs LLC<\/a> is a woman-owned small business specializing in composites design and manufacturing, for clients in the marine, defense and aerospace industries. Support from the Materials Innovation Challenge will enable the company to work with both labs to develop, simulate and validate the company\u2019s design and manufacturing processes for a deep sea pressure vessel that has significant potential in the defense, renewable energy, and offshore oil and gas sectors.<\/p>\n

Nautilus Defense<\/a> is focused on the development and production of textile-integrated systems for monitoring high-value assets and their environments. Funding from the challenge will enable Nautilus to work with the labs to perform electromechanical testing of novel textile-integrated systems, which will help to strengthen the company\u2019s offerings to the defense and commercial markets.<\/p>\n

TxV Aerospace Composites<\/a> is a manufacturer of composite parts and assemblies for the aerospace industry. With its Materials Innovation Challenge funding, TxV will work with 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Multiscale & Multiphysics Mechanics of Materials Research Laboratory to characterize the strength and behavior of material bond line and correlate that data to the performance of hybrid composite structures.<\/p>\n

401 Tech Bridge will provide $35,000 per project to the 溏心vlog免费B站 to support this collaboration with work slated to begin in early 2021. The Challenge is supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and its Manufacturing Extension Partnership National Network, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Business Engagement Center, the 溏心vlog免费B站 College of Engineering and the 溏心vlog免费B站 Research Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
