The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is requesting information on areas of research and new approaches to simultaneously decrease design margins and accelerate manufacturing qualification of structural hardware for DoD systems.
Background
Before entering service, every part in an engineered system must be qualified to prove that it meets design intent. Today, qualification of most structural hardware is done at the process level. Material coupons from individual processes (e.g., forging, casting, machining, etc.) are tested and required to conform to an extensive range of properties. It is then assumed that future parts processed on the same machine, and under the same conditions, are qualified for service, often with periodic quality control testing. While this approach has served industry well for conventional fixed processing methods, it does not efficiently scale for the more adaptable additive manufacturing ecosystem (where scale is primarily achieved through the installation of additional machines) and can be overly burdensome for custom, low-volume production. The potential for distributed manufacturing is also suppressed by traditional process qualification procedures that create high barriers of entry for the supply base. A novel approach to part qualification is needed to enable rapid, scalable, and distributed manufacturing of critical structural components.
The burden of qualification is compounded by inefficiencies in structural design where margins (a.k.a. safety factors) are introduced to account for unknown variabilities in material, production, and service conditions. Typical design margins range from 1.5-3x (i.e., sys...
