Workshops: Multiscale Modeling for Multifunctional Analysis and Design (MMMAD) and Challenges in Computational Multiscale Materials Modeling (CCMMM); Arlington, VA; 2-5 May 2011

这笔拨款提供了部分资金，用于支持在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的多功能分析与设计的多尺度建模（MMMAD）和计算多尺度材料建模挑战（CCMMM）研讨会。这些研讨会是一系列跨学科研讨会的一部分，将重点放在多尺度分析和设计的实验和计算方法上。研讨会将于2011年5月2日至5日举行，主题为：(i)实验多尺度方法（EMM）， （ii）多功能分析与设计的多尺度建模（MMMAD），以及（iii）计算多尺度材料建模的挑战（CCMMM）。该系列讲习班将由多个政府机构赞助，即ARO、AFOSR和NSF。EMM研讨会将着重于跨尺度的变形测量和实验方法。它还将通过多尺度实验解决多尺度模型的验证问题。MMMAD研讨会将讨论与开发多功能材料和结构的强大多尺度计算分析设计平台相关的具体挑战。CCMMM研讨会将解决计算多尺度材料建模研究学科面临的关键问题，以便在广泛的长度和时间尺度上对复杂材料结构相互作用进行全面分析。这些研讨会将解决在建立材料系统的健壮的时空多尺度建模方面的关键挑战和需求。鉴于该学科各个方面的巨大增长，在当前阶段，多尺度建模范式的潜力是深不可测的。该主题与当前集成计算材料科学与工程（ICMSE）和基于仿真的工程与科学（SBES）的趋势一致，以指导满足性能和可靠性规范的新系统的设计。该系列研讨会将汇集来自学术界、工业界和国家实验室的研究人员，以确定开发稳健的多尺度建模和设计平台的主要挑战和研究目标。这次讲习班将产生一份全面的报告，这将是该领域今后战略发展的重要路线图。

This grant provides partial funding to support workshops on Multiscale Modeling for Multifunctional Analysis and Design (MMMAD) and Challenges in Computational Multiscale Materials Modeling (CCMMM) to be held in Arlington, Virginia. These workshops are part of a series of three interdisciplinary workshops that will focus on experimental and computational methods in multiscale analysis and design. The workshops will be held from 2 thru 5 May 2011 and are entitled:(i) Experimental Multiscale Methods (EMM), (ii) Multiscale Modeling for Multifunctional Analysis and Design (MMMAD), and(iii) Challenges in Computational Multiscale Materials Modeling (CCMMM). The workshop series will be sponsored by multiple government agencies, viz. ARO, AFOSR and NSF. The EMM workshop will focus on measurement of deformation and experimental methods across scales. It will also address validation of multiscale models by means of multiscale experiments. The MMMAD workshop will discuss specific challenges pertaining to the development of robust multiscale computational analysis-design platforms for multifunctional materials and structures. The CCMMM workshop will address critical issues that confront the computational multiscale materials modeling research discipline for comprehensive analysis of complex material structure interactions at a broad range of length and time scales. The workshops will address critical challenges and needs in establishing robust spatio-temporal multiscale modeling of material systems.The potential of the multiscale modeling paradigm is unfathomable at the current stages, given the tremendous growth in various aspects of this discipline. The theme is consistent with current trends in Integrated Computational Materials Science and Engineering (ICMSE) and Simulation based Engineering & Sciences (SBES) to guide the design of novel systems that meet specifications of performance and reliability. The proposed workshop series will bring together researchers from academia, industry and national laboratories to identify major challenges and research objectives for developing robust multiscale modeling and design platforms. A comprehensive report will result from this workshop which will be an important roadmap for future strategic developments in this field.
