Preface
Design of and with materials plays an intrinsic role in today’s challenging world of high performance structural components and applications. They constitute an integral part of comprehensive structural design, given the opportunity offered by optimal materials design for structural performance and life enhancement. These opportunities impose high demands on effective modeling and simulation methodologies to establish quantitative relations between the material microstructure and physical properties at different length scales. The rapid advances in computer and computational sciences enable sophisticated simulations that unravel the underpinnings of complex material microstructure on behavior. In concert with outstanding advances in experimental methods, these computational tools are increasingly able to enhance the fundamental understanding of microstructure–property relations, thus enabling materials and process design for improved performance and life. The field of computational materials modeling transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries between mechanics, materials science, physics and chemistry, mathematics and computer science. In addition, it is creating a true synergy between experiments and modeling in terms of incorporation of physics, calibration, and validation. The results of th
