Multi-scale Modeling and Optimisation of Materials
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
More than a century ago, manufactured materials’ fatigue started to be investigated, while material performance evaluation was rethought as a result of the introduction of new technical materials, testing techniques, and computer methodologies. By combining cutting-edge sensor technology with real-time photos of material behavior, it became possible to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms causing damage on a sub-microscale. Meanwhile, incorporating computational methods into multi-scale modeling techniques, continuously enhanced by an ever-increasing computer power, resulted in further insights into the optimization and design of resilient materials. The use of data-driven algorithms allowed for the successful completion of complex structure–property interactions, which would have been computationally costly had physics-based models been used alone. Although substantial research has been conducted on the topic, the materials science community is in even greater need of interdisciplinary methods for multi-scale modeling and optimization. Therefore, we welcome notable and pioneering researchers to participate in our endeavor to advance the current state of the art in this field, within the scope outlined below.
