Through Process Modelling of Advanced Structural Materials

先进结构材料的全过程建模是全球集成计算材料工程（ICME）领域的核心。该研究计划旨在用数字仿真取代先进制造中冗长，昂贵，试错驱动的研究和开发-材料特性，制造过程以及对这些过程的响应。这一发展是加快将更坚固、更安全、更轻质的材料引入运输和自然资源运输部门的关键。预期成果包括提高石油运输安全，改善车辆安全，提高替代燃料车辆的可行性，减少化石燃料的使用，减少温室气体的产生，所有这些都是对更可持续的地球的可衡量的贡献。

Through Process Modelling of Advanced Structural Materials is central to the global Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) field. The research program seeks to replace lengthy, costly, trial-and-error-driven research and development in advanced manufacturing with digital simulation -- of materials properties, manufacturing processes, and responses to those processes. This evolution is key to accelerating the insertion of stronger, safer, lighter-weight materials into the transportation and natural resource transport sectors. Expected outcomes include increased oil transport security, improved vehicle safety, greater viability of alternative-fuel vehicles, reduced fossil fuel use, and reduced greenhouse gas production, all measurable contributions to a more sustainable planet.
