Symposium MB2-Materials under Mechanical Extremes

The design of next-generation structural applications relies on the ability to not only predict, but also tailor material response under extremes of applied pressure, strain, strain-rates, and shock to resist failure. The response of these materials relies on their ability to distribute load as they deform plastically via nucleation, and propagation of defects, as well as activate failure mechanisms such as crack nucleation and growth. The recent advances in theory, modeling, simulation, synthesis, as well as in-situ characterization of microstructural evolution and properties provide the ability to understand and control the evolution of microstructure during deformation.

The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers leading the efforts in the theory, computations, and experimental characterization to discuss the current state of this endeavor, and examine the outlook for accelerated materials design.

Topics will include:

Microstructural effects on defect nucleation and evolution
Failure mechanics and criteria
Multi-scale computational methods (concurrent/hierarchical)
Phase transformation mechanisms
Computational design of microstructures
Genomics and informatics approaches
In-situ characterization of materials response
High-temperature mechanical response
