Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) for Metals

<p><b>Focuses entirely on demystifying the field and subject of ICME and provides step-by-step guidance on its industrial application via case studies</b> </p> <p>This highly-anticipated follow-up to Mark F. Horstemeyer’s pedagogical book on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) concepts includes engineering practice case studies related to the analysis, design, and use of structural metal alloys. A welcome supplement to the first book—which includes the theory and methods required for teaching the subject in the classroom—<i>Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) For Metals: Concepts and Case Studies</i> focuses on engineering applications that have occurred in industries demonstrating the ICME methodologies, and aims to catalyze industrial diffusion of ICME technologies throughout the world. </p> <p>The recent confluence of smaller desktop computers with enhanced computing power coupled with the emergence of physically-based material models has created the clear trend for modeling and simulation in product design, which helped create a need to integrate more knowledge into materials processing and product performance. <i>Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) For Metals: Case Studies</i> educates those seeking that knowledge with chapters covering: Body Centered Cubic Materials; Designing An Interatomic Potential For Fe-C Alloys; Phase-Field Crystal Modeling; Simulating Dislocation Plasticity in BCC Metals by Integrating Fundamental Concepts with Macroscale Models; Steel Powder Metal Modeling; Hexagonal Close Packed Materials; Multiscale Modeling of Pure Nickel; Predicting Constitutive Equations for Materials Design; and more.</p> <ul> <li>Presents case studies that connect modeling and simulation for different materials’ processing methods for metal alloys</li> <li>Demonstrates several practical engineering problems to encourage industry to employ ICME ideas</li> <li>Introduces a new simulation-based design paradigm</li> <li>Provides web access to microstructure-sensitive models and experimental database</li> </ul> <p><i>Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) For Metals: Case Studies</i> is a must-have book for researchers and industry professionals aiming to comprehend and employ ICME in the design and development of new materials.</p>
