2009 Gordon Research Conference on Physical Metallurgy: Integrating Computational Materials Science and Engineering (ICMSE); Andover, NH: August 2-7, 2009

技术：本次戈登会议将于2009年8月2日至7日在NH安多弗的普罗科特学院举行，目的是探讨使用计算材料模型统一金属材料科学和工程方面的最新进展。这次会议讨论的一个重要部分是在材料行业内形成一个新的、潜在的变革性学科。它被称为综合计算材料科学与工程(ICMSE)。ICMSE是2008年美国国家科学院的一项研究以及多个政府和行业资助的研发项目的主题，它涉及到材料模型的开发和利用，这些模型捕捉了基本的洞察力和定量的加工-结构-性能关系，供工程界使用。重点介绍了先进结构合金和热障涂层的加工-组织和组织-性能关系的量化方面的主要进展。先进的计算技术，例如那些将从头计算与相平衡和微观结构联系起来的技术，将被涵盖。实验活动是发展定量加工-结构-性质关系的核心，新的实验表征工具也将是重点。这次会议的一个目的是促进深入的讨论，促进我们对这种知识及其在航空航天、汽车、发电和其他行业中的垂直整合的当前能力和挑战的理解。与会者代表大学、行业和国家实验室。非技术性：本次会议旨在帮助那些处于工业计算材料模型开发和应用前沿的人，以及那些参与计算和实验材料科学前沿的人。在将计算方法与实验相结合方面进行了大量的努力，以捕捉准确的机械细节，并在规模上提供预测的独立验证，以及跨长度尺度的集成。目前的探索是开发这些不同方法的集成，以便在实际制造之前可以优化在给定部件中插入材料。2009年戈登物理冶金研究会议将聚焦于金属材料ICMSE的发展。它将为建立一门对产业竞争力和国家安全具有重大和广泛影响的新学科做出显著贡献。然而，为这些金属材料开发的许多计算和实验方法和积分方案将对其他材料类型有用，通常只需进行较小的修改。显然，将ICMSE设立为一门新的学科将产生极其广泛的影响。临时计划包括30位受邀的演讲者和讨论领袖，其中5位来自欧洲或澳大利亚，其余的来自美国。此外，预计将有大约40名有前途的研究生或博士后研究员得到支持，10%的参与者预计将受益于NSF的支持。

TECHNICAL:The aim of this Gordon Conference, to be held at the Proctor Academy, Andover, NH, August 2 to 7, 2009, is to explore recent progress in the use of computational materials models to unify the science and engineering of metallic materials. An essential part of the discussion at this meeting is to form a new and potentially transformational discipline within the materials profession. It is called Integrated Computational Materials Science and Engineering (ICMSE). The topic of a 2008 US National Academy Study and a number of government and industry sponsored R&D programs, ICMSE involves the development and utilization of materials models that capture fundamental insights and quantitative processing-structure-property relationships for use by the engineering community. Key advances in quantification of processing-microstructure and microstructure-property relationships of advanced structural alloys and thermal barrier coatings will be highlighted. Advanced computational techniques such as those linking ab-initio calculations to phase equilibria and microstructure will be covered. Experimental activities are central to the development of quantitative processing-structure-property relationships and new experimental characterization tools will also be a focus. An aim of this conference is to foster a deep discussion advancing our understanding of the current capability and challenges for vertical integration of this knowledge and its application in aerospace, automotive, power generation and other industries. The participants represent universities, industries and national laboratories.NON-TECHNICAL:This conference is designed to benefit those on the forefront of development and application of computational materials models in industry, as well as those involved at the leading edge of computational and experimental materials science. There has been a significant effort involved in coupling computational methods with experiment to capture accurate mechanistic details and provide independent validation of predictions, at scale, and also integrating across length scales. The current quest is to develop the integration of these various approaches such that the insertion of a material in a given component may be optimized prior to its actual manufacture. The 2009 Gordon Research Conference on Physical Metallurgy will focus on the development of ICMSE for metallic materials. It will make a marked contribution to the establishment of a new discipline with significant, and broad, impact on industrial competitiveness and national security. However, many of the computational and experimental approaches and schemes for integration developed for these metallic materials will be useful for other materials types, often with only minor modifications. It is clear that establishing ICMSE as a new discipline will have an extremely broad impact. The provisional program includes 30 invited speakers and discussion leaders with 5 of these speakers from Europe or Australia and the remainder from the US. Additionally, it is expected that approximately 40 promising graduate students or postdoctoral fellows will be supported and 10% of the participants are expected to benefit from NSF support.
