Dr. Raymundo Arroyave, associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, is part of a group from The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) that is leading a new study on behalf of the Material Measurement Laboratory of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The 14-member panel will develop recommendations for critical steps and pathways needed to link computational materials models and simulations across various length scales in a accurate, automated fashion.
The need for quantitative, accurate models and codes that link existing simulation codes across different length scales and stages of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME)-accelerated product development cycles was identified as a significant barrier to broader ICME implementation in a 2013 TMS study.
NIST awarded the grant to TMS in April and the study is scheduled to be unveiled at the 3rd World Congress on ICME in May 2015 in Colorado Springs.
