Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering
Laboratory for Dynamic Response of Advanced Materials (CDRAM)
Led by Ghatu Subhash · Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
What we study
This lab studies how ceramics, metals, foams and gels respond to very fast, very strong loads like impacts, such as in armor. It tests materials with specialized equipment and builds models of how they behave.

Current projects
Dynamic characterization of advanced armor ceramics
Tests how advanced armor ceramics respond to very fast, strong impacts, using specialized equipment.
Dynamic fracture and modeling of hydrogels
Studies how hydrogels fracture under fast, strong loads and builds models of that behavior.
