About CAMCSE
The scientific goal of the Center for Additively Manufactured Complex Systems under Extremes (CAMCSE) is to advance fundamental understanding of how Additively Manufactured Compositionally Complex Systems respond to extreme environments of pressure, temperature, and strain rates. Specifically, we seek to reveal the nature and mechanisms underlying their phase transformation, microstructure evolution, strength, and plasticity.

Stay Informed Through
Our Research
Bridging Fundamental Knowledge Gaps by CAMCSE:
- Construct phase diagrams of AM CCSs under static and dynamic compression to 100 GPa and 2300 K (high pressure, high temperature).
- Elucidate microstructure evolution and dislocation kinetics in AM CCSs under dynamic compression.
- Understand dynamically localized plastic deformation and strength of AM CCSs under microballistic impact.
- Reveal the effects of grain structure and local chemical order on microstructure change and phase transformation under high strain rate from 104 to 109 s-1.
