Multiscale Design of Materials

چکیده
Current methods of materials development, relying mostly on experimental tests, are slow and expensive, often taking over a decade and costing many millions of dollars to develop and certify new materials for critical applications. Finding new approaches for materials development is essential. Moreover, it will be increasingly important for materials development to be integrated into overall product design and development. We discuss a program in which we are creating a framework to link multiscale materials information to do design across scales, based on an existing computational design platform, VE-Suite. We present the basic framework of our program and discuss progress to date. Since our goal is multiscale design, part of our efforts are focussed on creating new visualization tools and facilities to enhance the design process. We review progress in this area as well.

متن کاملDevelopment of Hierarchical Multiscale Method and Its Applications to the Characterization of Microstructure Effect
The mechanical properties of materials are inherently multiscale, depending on phenomena at all length scales. Hence, multiscale modeling is a huge scientific challenge as well as a critical necessity for successful manipulation of material properties. This proposed research aims to investigate the microstructure (i.e., grain and inclusion) effect on the material properties especially for the s...
متن کاملOn the flexural properties of multiscale nanosilica/E-glass/epoxy anisogrid-stiffened composite panels
In the present study, multiscale nanosilica/E-glass/epoxy anisogrid composite panels were investigated for flexural properties as a function of nanosilica loading in the matrix (0, 1, 3 and 5 wt.%). The surface of the silica nanoparticles was firstly modified with 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (3-GPTS). The fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that the organic functional ...

متن کاملBio-Inspired, Smart, Multiscale Interfacial Materials
In this review a strategy for the design of bioinspired, smart, multiscale interfacial (BSMI) materials is presented and put into context with recent progress in the field of BSMI materials spanning natural to artificial to reversibly stimuli-sensitive interfaces. BSMI materials that respond to single/dual/multiple external stimuli, e.g., light, pH, electrical fields, and so on, can switch reve...
