Event 05: Multiscale Modeling and Design of New Materials

In many modern engineering systems, materials with highly complex microstructures are now in use. The macroscopic response of such materials is the aggregate behavior of microscale interaction. The focus of this CISM lecture series was to address recent advances in modeling and computational issues describing multiscale system behavior. The themes addressed were: 1) Multiscale- multifield behavior, 2) Nonlinear micro-macro scale relationships, 3) Phase transformations and 4) Inverse multiscale problems. The lectures were suitable for graduate students of applied mathematics, mechanics, engineerings and physics with interests in computer simulation of multiscale materials science problems. The objective was to illustrate techniques which enable fast and accurate predictions of new high performance micro-macro material behavior by direct numerical simulation, with the goal being to reduce costly, time consuming, trial and error laboratory analyses.

Fellowships

13 EU fellowships (10 Group 1, 2 Group 2, and 1 Group 3) were offered to young participants to attend the course.
