NSF IUCRC Program

• Established in 1973

• IUCRC centers conduct industrially-relevant, pre-competitive research via multi-member, sustained partnerships among industry, academe, and government

• The IUCRC Program provides a financial and procedural framework for center operations in addition to best practices learned over decades of fostering public/private partnerships that provide significant value to the nation, industry and university faculty and students

• IUCRC centers offer a platform for significant leveraging of financial investment by members to accelerate the knowledge base in emerging technological sectors and develop an industrially savvy workforce

Phase III Sustainability

• A sustainability plan has been prepared in consultation with the SVC IAB, and proposed to the NSF in the Phase III renewal proposal

• The sustainability strategy of SVC beyond Phase III has 5 components:

1. Expand the faculty base at OSU, especially junior faculty;

2. Attract additional Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers (including component and material suppliers);

3. Adapt the Center’s research portfolio to evolving needs in the industry, especially in relation to vehicle electrification, autonomous driving, and structural lightweighting;

4. Continue efforts to collaborate with other institutions and attempt to attract additional sites as dictated by the technical needs of the IAB and the Center faculty;

5. Retain the membership fee structure described in the bylaws as approved by the IAB.


New Seed Program Announcement• Cash awards ranging from $15k to $30k each (discretionary university funds)

• Stimulate research collaborations between MAE researchers and industry to the point where a compelling proposal can be developed to generate industry (or government lab) sponsorship within SVC

• Program open to MAE faculty, research staff, and post-docs

• Brief proposals due April 2, 2018

• Proposals should include:(a) Cover page (per SVC template)(b) Objectives of the proposed research project(c) Description and scope of the research (from both basic and applied

research perspectives)(d) Expected outcomes (such as engagement with potential sponsors,

publications, etc.)(e) Detailed description of potential companies or research organizations to

which the research will be targeted for SVC membership (f) PI expertise and available facilities

Harne and Lynd’s award-winning paper, “Origami Acoustics: Using Principles of Folding Structural Acoustics for Simple and Large Focusing of Sound Energy,” was published in the Smart Materials and Structures journal in 2016.

Distinguished Graduate Faculty AwardDapino chosen by the Mechanical Engineering External Advisory Board at OSU. The honor was created in 2014 to recognize excellence in graduate

student mentoring.

Dapino receives top ASME honor2017 recipient of the ASME Adaptive Structures and Material Systems Award

Quad Slide Example: Material Database Compilation and Material Selection Tool (SVC Project #22 )

Project Leader: Greg Washington [email protected], Project Initiated by: Goodyear

• Materials have a number of applications that range the space of

• Force• Stroke• Bandwidth• Size• Weight

• Must consider• Hysteresis• Creep• Non linear stress-

strain phenomena• The “illities”

Motivation: Smart Materials and Elastomers have

significantly variable properties and are highly non-linear.

In order to determine the best material for the application, key properties must be highlighted in the same context and tools must be developed to determine the best material for a given performance envelope.

Example for SMA Application:

• Extensive literature survey• Compilation of the data into

an easy to use format• Development of a GUI based

tool to utilize the data• Development of design

tools based on the GUI format

• Materials Testing and verification

Design Considerations:

Project Goals:

NSF IUCRC Technology Breakthrough from SVC

2017 Issue – 3D Printing of Smart Structures with Embedded Optical Fiber Sensors (M. Dapino, SVC #49)

Aircraft actuation systems require embedded condition monitoring and load sensing devices


Summary

• Emphasis of SVC is on pre-competitive research – exploratory and high-risk

• SVC creates research at the intersection of smart material technologies and mobility applications (automotive, aircraft, rotorcraft)

• The Center is in Year 1 of Phase III (2017-22) with OSU as a single site

• Phase III accepted in August 2017 with about $800K commitment from 10 distinct members

• OSU cost share (reduction in indirect cost rate and staff support) is used to leverage resources, though the institutional support has decreased for Phase III

• Strong education and placement outcomes:- 53 students graduated with PhD/MS/BS degrees in the last 5 years- Many of our graduates have joined sponsors- Some of the SVC alumni serve on the IAB
