Abstract:

The MURI program entitled Managing the Mosaic of Microstructure was a joint research project between groups from seven major universities Carnegie Mellon University lead institution, CalTech, Georgia Tech, Northwestern University, Purdue University, University of Michigan, and the University of Minnesota. This research program created break-through concepts and methodologies for elucidating the micro-structure-properties link to enable materials design by bringing together cutting-edge theories and techniques from materials science, mathematics and information science -- many of which are unknown to researchers outside individual disciplines. The main objectives of our research plan were stated in terms of three Grand Challenges GCs around which our efforts were built GC1 to establish a standardized methodology, grounded in sound mathematics, for acquiring, storing, analyzing, modeling, and querying beyond 3-D materials data, taking full account of the potential sparsity of such data as well as the associated uncertainties and variabilities GC2 to employ advanced stochasticprobabilistic models that allow not only for the description of the average microstructure, but also for the inclusion of rare events large deviations, and to set up the proper data structures to enable such a stochastic description.
