Cradle-to-grave simulation-based design incorporating multiscale microstructure-property modeling: Reinvigorating design with science

  • Published:
Journal of Computer-Aided Materials Design

Abstract

We propose a new paradigm for design that incorporates scientifically oriented research directly and feasibly into engineering design practice. The goal is to use this simulation-based tool earlier in design to achieve more optimized components and systems. The method to accomplish this bridge of science and engineering is by using thermodynamically constrained internal state variables that are physically based upon microstructure-property relations. When the microstructure-property relations are included in the internal state variable rate equations, history effects can be captured. Hence, the cradle-to-grave notion arises. The method to help determine the appropriate microstructure-property relations for the internal state variables is through a multiscale modeling methodology which includes experimentation. As such, scientifically oriented research occurs in the multiscale methodology, and the engineering design practice employs the cradle-to-grave internal state variable model. An example of the multiscale methodology is presented in terms of a cast A356 aluminum alloy used in automotive design, and an example of the cradle-to-grave simulation based design is presented in terms of a stamped product used in a crash scenario.
