Drexel University engineers will soon be working alongside scientists from the Army Research Lab to refine a new way of detecting the invisible damage in aircraft structures that could lead to catastrophic failure. The institutions recently signed a collaborative research agreement that will formally connect the ARL’s Vehicle Technology Directorate with Drexel mechanical engineers at the forefront of advanced, non-destructive structural testing.

Drexel University researchers will now have the opportunity to work alongside scientists from the Army Research Lab — the Army's central laboratory. The institutions recently signed an agreement that formally connects Drexel as an ARL "open campus" for research. With this agreement, the University strives to engage a diverse and wide-ranging network of faculty in collaborative efforts with ARL entities.

Borides are among the hardest and most heat-resistant substances on the planet, but their Achilles’ Heel, like so many materials’, is that they oxidize at high temperatures. Oxidation is the chemical reaction commonly known as corrosion or rusting — it can signal the end for a material’s structural integrity. But researchers from Drexel University, Linkoping University in Sweden and Imperial College London have produced an aluminum-layered boride whose unique behavior at high temperatures keeps it one step ahead of nature’s slow march toward high- temperature chemical degradation.

Dead zones, black holes, shadows…we all have our names for those bad-reception areas that are a nuisance in a world of ubiquitous, mobile communication, but it’s hard to see exactly why they exist and how to avoid them. A group of electrical engineers at Drexel is trying to give us a better look at how antennas work — so we can understand why they drop a connection from time to time.
