Multiscale Systems Engineering Research Center (MSERC)

纳米复合材料的多尺度系统工程纳米复合材料的多尺度系统工程（MSEN）项目将解决先进的建模，仿真，优化和控制技术，为纳米复合材料设计提供基础，其中系统探索替代方案是由提供多尺度现象一致描述的模型层次结构支持的。这些技术将建立在自适应模拟方法的基础上，考虑规模相互作用，采用参数优化，并使用计算效率高的并行软件进行操作。与工业伙伴合作，MSEN项目将清楚地展示多尺度系统工程在纳米复合材料应用开发中的作用，从表明基本材料开发需求开始。MSEN项目的教育和推广计划将让本科生和研究生参与多学科研究，并包括伦斯勒理工学院和霍华德大学之间的学生和教师交流，以促进少数民族参与的多样性。将开发一个交互式工具，展示适用于K-12演示、本科和研究生教育的多尺度系统工程概念。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会CMS、DMII、EEC和DMS部门联合资助，并由CMS和DMII监督。

Multiscale Systems Engineering for NanocompositesThe Multiscale Systems Engineering for Nanocomposites (MSEN) project will address advanced modeling, simulation, optimization, and control technologies to provide the basis for nanocomposite design where the systematic exploration of alternatives is supported by a hierarchy of models that provides a consistent description of multiscale phenomena. These technologies will build upon adaptive simulation methods that account for scale interactions, employ parameter optimization, and operate using computationally efficient parallel software. Working with industrial partners, the MSEN project will clearly demonstrate the role of multiscale system engineering in the development of nanocomposites applications beginning with indicating basic materials development needs.The MSEN project education and outreach program will involve undergraduate and graduate students in multidisciplinary research and include student and faculty exchange between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Howard University to foster diversity of participation of minorities. An interactive tool demonstrating the concepts of multiscale systems engineering applicable in K-12 demonstrations, undergraduate and graduate education will be developed. This award is jointly funded by the NSF Divisions of CMS, DMII, EEC and DMS and monitored by CMS and DMII .
