- Description
- This program envisions the development of robust materials systems design processes driven by product requirements. Strategies developed will employ generic techniques for coupling calculations and measurements of thermodynamic, structural and kinetic properties of materials with models of microstructural entities that determine macroscopic behavior. Models will employ concepts that link microscale and mesoscale models with continuum descriptions of material behavior and techniques that employ these descriptions to calculate properties of materials and integrate the results into engineering design software. Uncertainty modeling leading to lifetime prediction and assessment models must be an integral part of this development. Modeling at all levels must be accompanied by critical experiments designed to verify analytical predictions and techniques for estimating the reliability and scatter of the computed properties. Emphasis throughout will be on the reduction of empiricism and ad hoc assumptions and the compatibility of each model with those for adjacent length and time scales. Principal goals of this effort are to develop improved design methodologies for structural materials and manufacturing processes by combining experimental and modeling tools from the atomic scale, through the meso scale, and up to the system scale while simultaneously controlling or predicting material reliability issues related to performance. See Numbered Note 26.
