6.1 Basic Research (is of Primary interest to Universities)… systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts… It includes all scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It is farsighted high payoff research that provides the basis for technological progress. Basic research may lead to: (a) subsequent applied research and advanced technology developments in Defense-related technologies, and (b) new and improved military functional capabilities in areas such as communications, detection, tracking, surveillance, propulsion, mobility, guidance and control, navigation, energy conversion, materials and structures, and personnel support.
6.2 Applied Research
… systematic study to understand the means to meet a recognized and specific national security requirement. It is a systematic application of knowledge to develop useful materials, devices, and systems or methods. It may include design, development, and improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet general mission area requirements. Applied research translates promising basic research into solutions… The dominant characteristic is that applied research is directed toward general military needs with a view toward developing and evaluating the feasibility and practicality of proposed solutions and determining their parameters. Applied Research precedes system specific research. Program control of the Applied Research program element is normally exercised by general level of effort.

5.2 . Mechanical Behavior of Materials. The program on Mechanical Behavior of Materials addresses the fundamental relationships between the structure of materials and their mechanical properties as influenced by composition, processing, environment, stress state, and loading rate. The objectives of the subfield are to provide structural materials with improved mechanical properties and quantitative models for predicting both the response and the remaining useful life of a material. Major thrusts include the development of new strengthening, plasticity and toughening mechanisms for preventing or retarding fracture; especially at large strains (1000%) and high strain rates (to 106/sec). New knowledge is sought concerning fundamental deformation processes in materials including: load transfer, fatigue, creep, transformation toughening, superplasticity, and shear localization…………
