ICME is an emerging field which promises to link manufacturing and design via advanced process-structure-property models in a seamless, integrated computational environment. It involves integration of information across different length and time scales for all relevant materials phenomena and enables concurrent analysis of manufacturing process and material properties within a holistic framework.
This mini-symposium focuses on such aspects and their integration in multiscale modeling approaches in general.
The topics covered include (but are not limited to):
• Multiscale modeling: Strategies for representing the inherently multiscale nature of the problem covering different spatial or temporal scales
• Enrichment and XFEM/GFEM methods
• Adaptive mesh or sampling grid generation
• Mesh generation
• Process-structure models: Part-scale and multiscale simulation of the manufacturing process for predicting surface topology and microstructure including defects
• Multi-scale material characterization
• Structure based property prediction
• Modeling of advanced manufacturing or joining processes
• Modeling of novel material systems
• Metal forming and materials processing simulation and design
• Process-part optimization for design of structural parts/components
• Verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification
• Probabilistic methods in multiscale modeling
