MuMiM Multiscale Metallic Interface Modelling. A multi-scale methodology for the analysis of metallic interfaces. (10109)

Project nummer: 10109

Omschrijving van het onderzoek

Metallic interfaces, such as grain boundaries, phase boundaries and metallization layers, play a dominant role in bulk materials, functional materials and metallic microdevices in defining their strength, reliability and lifetime properties. This project is a concerted action of three research groups in constructing a generic multi-scale technique for the quantitative description of metallic interfaces. Complex grain boundaries, containing key issues present also in other metallic interface problems, will serve as a carrier problem. Three young researchers will work on the development of computational tools at specific length scales and on their transfer to larger scales. The results of atomistic computations will be transferred to mesoscale discrete dislocation simulations, which will subsequently be linked to an enhanced continuum interface technique using computational homogenization. The interface response so computed will be transferred to industrial partners for application to several problems of industrial interest.
