The Materials Dynamics area of leadership focuses on understanding structure-properties-performance relationships for the extreme conditions of dynamic loading. This research encompasses controlled synthesis of materials to meet dynamic performance requirements and requires computational coupling across length and time scales for three-dimensional microstructure modeling. For this leadership area, we define dynamic loading as strain rates greater than 103/s. A key grand challenge of this area is to predict and measure the evolution of microstructural phases, defect structures, and electronic structure under dynamic conditions while also dynamically measuring local temperature to understand transition states. Solving this challenge will require agile, multidimensional data analysis and interpretation capability.
