Models, Databases, and Simulation Tools Needed for the Realization of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering

Proceedings of the Symposium Held at Materials Science & Technology 2010, Houston Texas, October 18-20

Representative papers presented at this recent dynamic and well attended symposium are organized in three sections:
- Current State of ICME
- Database and Infrastructure Needed to Enable ICME
-Current Work and Models in ICME
A broad overview of the current state of ICME is presented and then narrowed down to specific needs and work that is ongoing in ICME. To varying degrees, each paper addresses the current gaps and barriers that exist in its topic area.



The book provides a taste of the wide range of topics that ICME encompasses, the nature of multiple scale modeling, and the interdisciplinary nature of ICME. The aim is to nurture the growth of ICME by highlighting barriers (technical, cultural, and economic) and highlighting the need for data and infrastructure that currently exists. A vision of ICME spanning material science from basic research to integration in real design and manufacturing systems is projected. The keys to the realization of the vision are proposed by the editors, Terry Wong, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, and Dr. Steven Arnold, NASA Glenn Research Center.

The book is indexed by author and subject.
