3D Numerical Realization of FRP Microstructure from High-Res X-Ray CT

Completed TRL 6 (started at 3, targeting 6)

Description

The objective of the proposed work is to initiate realization of the Digital Twin concept for composites by coupling state-of-the-art, nondestructive characterization techniques with 3D numerical modeling to study the constituent-level failure of FRP composites.

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 6) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
