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

技术：这次戈登会议将于2009年8月2日至7日在新罕布什尔州安多弗的普罗克特学院举行，其目的是探讨在使用计算材料模型以统一金属材料的科学和工程方面的最新进展。本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和潜在的转型学科。它被称为综合计算材料科学与工程（ICMSE）。作为2008年美国国家科学院研究和一些政府和行业赞助的研发项目的主题，ICMSE涉及材料模型的开发和利用，这些模型可以捕获基本见解和定量处理-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在加工-微观结构和微观组织-性能关系量化方面的关键进展。先进的计算技术，如那些连接从头计算相平衡和微观结构将被覆盖。实验活动是发展定量处理-结构-性质关系的核心，新的实验表征工具也将是重点。本次会议的目的是促进深入讨论，促进我们对当前垂直整合知识及其在航空航天，汽车，发电和其他行业应用的能力和挑战的理解。参与者代表了大学、工业和国家实验室。非技术：本次会议旨在使那些处于工业计算材料模型开发和应用前沿的人，以及那些处于计算和实验材料科学前沿的人受益。在将计算方法与实验相结合以捕获准确的机械细节和提供预测的独立验证方面，以及在尺度上和跨长度尺度上的整合方面已经做出了重大努力。当前的任务是开发这些不同方法的集成，以便在实际制造之前优化给定组件中材料的插入。2009年戈登物理冶金研究会议将重点讨论金属材料的ICMSE的发展。它将为建立一门对产业竞争力和国家安全产生重大而广泛影响的新学科做出显著贡献。然而，许多为这些金属材料开发的集成的计算和实验方法和方案将对其他材料类型有用，通常只需要微小的修改。很明显，建立ICMSE作为一门新学科将产生极其广泛的影响。临时计划包括30位受邀演讲者和讨论领袖，其中5位来自欧洲或澳大利亚，其余来自美国。此外，预计将支持约40名有前途的研究生或博士后，预计10%的参与者将受益于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.
