Design of Microstructures for Materials and Composites with Desired Functional Properties

新的和先进的材料和复合材料的创造将支持澳大利亚许多工业和经济活动的增长。该项目将在探索和寻找具有所需功能特性的材料和复合材料的最佳微观结构方面迎接重大的科学和技术挑战。这项拟议的研究将大大扩展一种名为ESO/BESO的拓扑优化技术--这是一项澳大利亚的倡议，已获得广泛的国际认可。它的进一步开发和应用将使澳大利亚的研究人员和工程师能够保持和提高在新材料和复合材料设计方面开拓利基市场的国家能力。

The creation of new and advanced materials and composites will underpin the growth in many industrial and economic activities in Australia. This project will meet the substantial scientific and technological challenges in exploring and finding optimal microstructures for materials and composites with desired functional properties. The proposed research will significantly extend a topological optimization technique known as ESO/BESO - an Australian initiative that has earned a widespread international recognition. Its further development and applications will enable the Australian researchers and engineers to maintain and enhance the national capacity to exploit a niche market in the design of novel materials and composites.
