Research

Research at NCAM focuses on advanced aerospace materials with an initial focus on the applicability of composite and metallic materials to advanced manufacturing technologies.

The following are some examples of research projects conducted by the College of Engineering of the University of New Orleans, and an abstract of each is available:

• Cryogenic Microcracks Growth in Polymer Composites
• NDE Techniques for Applications in Composites Manufacturing
• Space Launch Initiative/Friction Welding Risk Reduction Program

The University of New Orleans leads a consortium of seven universities where research in conducted. A list of projects and links to abstracts is available under "Research > Projects."
