Acquisition of a Computation/Visualization Server for the Center for Modeling and Simulation in Materials Science

Abstract

The computation/visualization server for the Center for Modeling and Simulation in Materials Science (CMSMS) will support extensive computational research in fundamental areas of materials science that have an impact on the development and processing of novel materials. DOD-supported research to be enhanced by the server will address the design and performance of novel materials from first principles quantum mechanical calculations and non-equilibrium thermodynamic theories through the microstructure scale and up to the macroscopic level. Specifically, the research uses numerical simulation methods to investigate (i) the influence of crystal structure, defects, phase evolution, and interfaces on material properties, (ii) the mechanical properties of polycrystalline and fiber composites including the stochastic geometry and constituent material properties, (iii) the failure mode transition in the dynamic fracture of steels and (iv) the penetration of depleted uranium and tungsten heavy alloys into steel targets.
