The\u0026nbsp;IUCRC is an NSF\u0026nbsp;program which encourages research partnerships between universities and industry for the\u0026nbsp;advancement of scientific discovery and development. The vision of D-CJAR is to transform the current practice of joining and repairing composites, which is labor-intensive and requires specialized experience, into a fast, automated and reliable processes enabled by advanced analytical, computational, experimental and digital techniques and tools.
