MS-019 Concurrent multiscale modeling from electrons to finite elements

The state-of-art super computers can explicitly deal with atoms in order of billions, which are about the atoms within one micron cube. It is unlikely in near future that the brutal force atomistic modeling can solve engineering material systems that involve physical phenomena across 10 orders of magnitude in length scale, such as fracture. Finite element modeling cannot reach the accuracy, but the atomistic modeling cannot fit the size requirements. Multiple length scale modeling is required to perform atomics (as well as quantum) simulations over macro scales. It requires the coupling between finite elements to the atoms and electrons side-by-side (hands-shaking). Such concurrent multi-length scalemodeling is very challenging. Talks are solicited for both the development of algorithms and applications of concurrent multi-length scale modeling in computational mechanics, such as Quasi-Continuum method, coupled atomistic and discrete dislocation method, concurrent atomistic-continuum method, multiscale coarse-graining method, super-atom method, dissipative particle dynamics, coarse-grained molecular dynamics, micromorphic theory, and atomistic field theory. This minisymposium is dedicated to concurrent multi-length scale modeling. Some of the topics of interest are:

• Multiscale modeling from Finite elements (All FEMs, including XFEM and meshfree) to atomistic;
• Quantum mechanics – molecular mechanics couplings;
• Full spectrum multiscale couplings (FEM/MM/QM and more);
• All the methodologies and applications are welcome.

Contributions that integrate experimental and computational approaches in mechanics and materials are particularly encouraged.

MS-025 Modeling and Simulation for Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM), known as 3D printing, has attracted increasing interest from the community of researchers in the past decades, owing to the advances in printing materials and high-precision of printing technology that allow to fabricate organic and complex structures, which are challenging for traditional manufacturing methods. The difficulties surrounding the structural design for AM are hot topics, including residual stresses, undesirable microstructures, length scale control, as well as the challenge of computational costs for large scale structures. Modeling and simulation are a significant tool inherent in material and structure design for AM. The main objective of this mini-symposium is to provide a forum to discuss ongoing modeling and simulation techniques applied to AM. The presentations include (but not limit to):

• Simulation process to predict residual stresses/deformations and surface topology.
• Modelling of materials considering effects of printing direction related to microstructural anisotropy.
• Modeling and simulation of functionally graded materials, tissue engineering scaffolds, bioinspired composites, etc.
• Modeling of novel material systems.
• Multiscale topology optimization of lightweight materials for AM.
• Computational methods for material and structure design for AM.
• Topology optimization with structural feature control (length scale, multiple length scale, porosity,...) for AM

MS-029 Stochastic BEM in Fracture Mechanics

Various deterministic methods for analysis of engineering fracture problems have been well developed in the framework of the traditional theory of fracture mechanics. However, due to the inherent uncertainties in crack geometry, material properties and external loadings, deterministic analysis cannot provide a complete picture of reality for structures with cracks. Probabilistic fracture mechanics, which combines the classical theory of fracture mechanics with the probability theory, provides statistical characteristics of cracked structures with uncertain parameters. Owing to the unique advantage of BEM in the analysis of cracked structures, stochastic BEM has proved to be an effective approach to the probabilistic problems of fracture mechanics.

The goal of this mini-symposium is to bring together researchers working on BEM in probabilistic fracture mechanics. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Recent advances in probabilistic fracture mechanics
• Stochastic boundary element method
• Fracture reliability analysis of cracked structures with uncertainties
• Fatigue life prediction of cracked structures with uncertainties
• Random vibration analysis of cracked structures under stochastic loadings
• Engineering applications of probabilistic fracture mechanics

MS-040 Energy systems for electric mobility

Conventional automobiles mainly operate using carbon-based fuels, such as: petrol and gasoline. How-ever, the limited hydro-carbon resources, increase in carbon foot-print and rise in the pollution levels
have resulted in a quest to discover alternate energy resources. On the other hand, the renewable solarpower is abundant and eco-friendly. Whereas, it is inefficient, environment dependent and expensivefor usage in automobile applications. Therefore, batteries are the first choice for automobiles. With theadvances in artificial intelligence (AI) and battery technologies, smart and clean electric transportationusing batteries is a rapidly growing area across the globe. As a result, significant scope for research and
manufacturing has been created. Hence, several researchers are actively involved in development of effi-cient battery technologies. The physics of batteries indicates that the interplay between thermal, elastic,
electric and chemical fields is not negligible. The present trend is to exploit the advances in AI towardsaccelerated research through quick and accurate calculations, which helps to come up with novel batterydesigns. The principle objective of this mini-symposium is to understand the mechanics of batteries withthe help of deep learning, considering defects at multiple scales and design the best combinations ofanode, cathode and electrolyte materials for long endurance, optimum performance and safe operation.The real time operation of batteries involves loads from mechanical, thermal, chemical, and electricalfields. Therefore, it is important to assess the performance of battery systems/packs in real time.In this context, the focus of this symposium is on battery technologies for electric mobility. The topics arenot limited, however, some are listed: computational methods including deep machine learning as wellas experimental techniques to understand the mechanics of batteries at multiple scales in the presenceof multiple fields, battery technologies at unit cell as well as pack levels, battery packs in real timeapplications, thermal management of battery packs, fuel cell based electric vehicles as well as hybridelectric vehicle technologies, mechanics electric vehicle components in the presence of battery packs,degradation and life prediction of batteries, techniques to recycle the betteries, testing of different electricvehicle configurations.
