Materials at Extremes (MATX)

Materials at Extremes (MATX) focuses on the advanced manufacturing, mechanical testing, and theoretical mechanics of materials subject to extreme environments.

The goals of MATX are to:

  • Leverage Advanced Manufacturing technologies to invent new materials suitable for extreme environments.

  • Develop Advanced Testing Methods that accelerate the qualification of new materials and replicate the extreme environments observed in service.

  • Develop Advanced Theoretical Models that leverage modern tools (mathematics, probabilistics, machine learning/AI, etc.) to capture the key phenomena observed in materials and enable the prediction of constitutive behaviour, damage evolution, and life at extremes.
