GRK 1627: Virtual Materials and Structures and their Validation

ViVaCE第一阶段的研究致力于开发强大可靠的仿真工具，可用于对材料和结构进行虚拟实验。这些工具将在ViVaCE的第二和第三阶段进一步发展，并将应用于异质材料的分析。其中一个重点将是数值工具的验证，但也将有与模拟方法相关的新发展，例如模型简化技术和自动代码生成。这些将应用于多尺度/多物理问题，包括不确定性和敏感性分析。与法国高等教育学院的合作为博士候选人提供了一个富有成效的国际化环境，为研究和开发可用于进行虚拟实验及其验证的新方法和数值模拟工具提供了一个论坛。研究生院MUSIC （Multi-Scale Methods for Interface Coupling）提供了一个多学科的工作环境，允许优秀的硕士生、博士生以及ViVaCE和其他培训团队的相关博士后之间进行协作和科学交流。在ViVaCE，博士候选人以多学科的方式一起工作。他们致力于新方法的实施，开展与材料和结构相关的虚拟实验并验证这些方法。来自力学，结构分析，材料科学，机械工程和应用数学的pi的参与确保了广泛的知识基础，允许新的见解。与法国科学院卡尚研究所LMT同事的紧密互动，完成了ViVaCE在复合材料多尺度/多物理场及相关实验方法领域的研究概况。德国博士候选人在法国高等教育学院卡尚分校的逗留，以及法国博士候选人在LUH的逗留，以积极的方式扩大了参与者的科学知识基础和经验视野。

The research within ViVaCE in its first phase was devoted to the development of robust and reliable simulation tools that can be used to perform virtual experiments on materials and structures. These tools will be further developed in the second and third phases of ViVaCE and will be applied to the analysis of heterogeneous materials. One of the major points will be the validation of the numerical tools, but there will be also new developments related to simulation methods, such as model-reduction techniques and automatic code generation. These will be applied to multi-scale/multi-physics problems including uncertainty and sensitivity analysis.The cooperation with the ENS Cachan provided to the PhD candidates a fruitful and international environment, that constitutes a forum for research and development of new methodologies and numerical simulation tools that can be used to perform virtual experiments and their validation. The collocation of the PhD candidates in the premises of the graduate school MUSIC (Multi-Scale Methods for Interface Coupling) provides a multidisciplinary working environment that allows for collaboration and scientific exchanges between excellent Master-students, PhD candidates and associated Post-Docs of ViVaCE and other training groups.In ViVaCE PhD candidates are working together in a multidisciplinary manner. They work on implementation of new methods, carry out virtual experiments related to materials and structures and validate these. The participation of PIs from mechanics, structural analysis, material science, mechanical engineering and applied mathemat-ics ensures a broad knowledge base that allows for new insights. The strong interaction with colleagues from the LMT of the ENS Cachan completes the research profile of ViVaCE in the areas of multi-scale/multi-physics and related experimental methods in connection with composite materials. The stay of German PhD candidates at ENS Cachan and vice versa of French PhD candidates at LUH enlarges the scientific knowledge base as well as the horizon of experience for the participants in a positive manner.
