Resilient

The Resilient program targets the creation of a Material Accelerator and a Scalability Model. The Material Accelerator is a physical, scalable testing platform that subjects concrete coupons to coupled, accelerated stressors to generate high-fidelity data. The Scalability Model is a physics-informed, multi-scale modeling framework that predicts how micro-scale damage evolves into macro-scale structural failure. Performers will design and fabricate a benchtop accelerator in Phase 1 and a transportable prototype in Phase 2, conduct iterative tests on concrete formulations, contribute historical degradation data to a federated database, and validate the model against real-world data. The system must be transportable using standard Light-Duty vehicles (GVWR 10,000 lbs or less).
