I/UCRC CGI: Center for Computational Materials Design (CCMD), Phase II

计算材料设计中心IIP-1034965宾夕法尼亚州立大学IIP-1034968佐治亚理工学院(GT)这是一项更新计算材料设计中心的提案，该中心创建于2005年。牵头机构是宾夕法尼亚州立大学，研究伙伴是佐治亚理工学院。CCMD的主要研究任务是开发支持材料设计决策的仿真工具和方法，以及支持协作式、基于决策的系统稳健材料设计的新方法。CCMD的智力优势是基于PSU和GT的多尺度、跨学科计算专业知识的整合。CCMD在阐明材料和产品集成设计对工业和广泛的材料工程行业的重要性方面处于领先地位；并正在为零部件和材料的并行设计开发新的方法和算法。CCMD在第一阶段成功运作，并帮助发展了学术界、工业界和国家实验室之间的伙伴关系。根据从各成员收到的反馈，CCMD在更新提案中概述了第二阶段的研究重点和倡议；并确定了将在第二阶段作为研究机会加以解决的差距。CCMD将对行业如何处理材料选择和开发产生重大影响。这个多大学中心扩大了大学/行业的互动，为所有参与者提供了一个更广泛的视角，了解所有部门的材料设计活动。CCMD通过培养新一代学生，他们对基本建模和模拟方法以及与行业相关的设计集成和材料开发具有宝贵的观点，从而提高了美国在计算材料设计方面的竞争力。CCMD参与了PSU和GT的项目，这些项目支持K-12 STEM问题、妇女和代表性不足的群体、本科生和高中教师。CCMD计划通过论文、会议和CCMD网站传播研究成果。

Center for Computational Materials Design (CCMD) IIP-1034965 Pennsylvania State University (PSU) IIP-1034968 Georgia Tech (GT) This is a proposal to renew the Center for Computational Materials Design (CCMD), an I/UCRC center that was created in 2005. The lead institution is Pennsylvania State University, and the research partner is Georgia Tech. The main research mission of the CCMD is to develop simulation tools and methods to support materials design decisions and novel methods for collaborative, decision-based systems robust design of materials. The intellectual merit of CCMD is based on the integration of multiscale, interdisciplinary computational expertise at PSU and GT. CCMD provides leadership in articulating the importance of integrated design of materials and products to industry and the broad profession of materials engineering; and is developing new methods and algorithms for concurrent design of components and materials. CCMD has operated successfully in Phase I, and has helped develop a partnership amongst academe, industry and national laboratories. Based on feedback received from the various members, CCMD has outlined in the renewal proposal research thrusts and initiatives for Phase II; and has also identified gaps that will be addressed as research opportunities in Phase II. CCMD will have a large impact on how industry addresses material selection and development. The expanded university/industry interaction of this multi-university center offers all participants a broader view of material design activities in all sectors. CCMD contributes to US competitiveness in computational materials design by educating new generations of students who have valuable perspectives on fundamental modeling and simulation methods, as well as industry-relevant design integration and materials development. CCMD participates in programs at PSU and GT that support K-12 STEM issues, women and underrepresented groups, undergraduate students, and high school teachers. CCMD plans to disseminate research results via papers, conferences and the CCMD website.
