Efforts in Computational Materials Science, Engineering and Design

  • Constitutive law development and code implementation
  • Computational micromechanics of microstructures for cast and wrought alloys
  • Short and long term kinetics of deformation, including atomistic simulations to enhance understanding of dislocation mechanisms at grain and phase boundaries
  • Coarse-grained atomistic modeling methods for mesoscale simulations of dislocation pileups and successive dislocation reactions in work hardening
  • Texture and void nucleation/growth in deformation processing
  • Microstructure-dependent fatigue of wrought, cast, and additive manufactured metal alloys, with emphasis on multiaxial fatigue and high cycle fatigue
  • Creep-fatigue-environment interaction of high temperature single and polycystalline austenitic and Ni-base alloys
  • Multiscale modeling of dislocation plasticity, fatigue and fracture processes in heterogeneous materials and alloys, including atomistic-continuum and continuum-continuum coarse graining strategies
  • Multilevel robust design of hierarchical materials
  • Uncertainty in multiscale materials modeling
