Dynamic Microstructure Design Consortium

摘要

Anticipating the computational power advances over the next decade, we have assessed and prioritized the enabling fundamental research tools offering the broadest impact in computational materials engineering, with emphasis on the context of ongoing near- and long-term alloy development efforts for Navy applications. Exploiting practical use cases to motivate tool utility and define required computational efficiency, our goal was an integrated set of flexible, high fidelity validated simulation and tomographic characterization tools for 3D microstructural evolution in both processing and service in support of process/structure and structure/property modeling for both materials design and development. Through close collaboration of computational engineering companies with tool users we also sought rapid commercially supported dissemination of these new capabilities.
